Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 Review

[@levyroth]

You are better than 90% of tech reviewers out there. This channel deserves more subs!

[@RetroGamerTy]

Is it weird that these videos are what I watch to relax? Lisa is my favorite presenter ☺

[@Gibbols]

RetroGamerTy nah I know what you mean. Have you watched Dave2D? His reviews, editing and graphics are so chilled and relaxing. Simple to consume too.

[@JohnPaul-zf8ts]

Every time I hear her music, I relax and settle in for a good review.

[@LetsGoHelio]

Damn this lady knows her stuff. I love her reviews!

[@elijah_9392]

abaswilderness Welcome to the channel! You'll enjoy it here.

[@DanielRodriguez-fg5ll]

Loved your squirrel and coil noise imitation!! Got a good laugh out of me !

[@mobiletechreview]

True story: I was testing the laptop in my living room that faces our backyard where squirrels often getting in shouting matches with the birds. I truly thought it was a squirrel until I realized the sound was just slightly different and emanating from the keyboard area :).

[@curt8806]

Daniel Rodriguez-Delgado hahaha so funny

[@DanielRodriguez-fg5ll]

having a lunch break at the office; I inmediately went for the chattering squirrel to pick me up! now ready to face the rest of the afternoon.

[@asterisk4424]

Been waiting for this review. Made the purchase recently and I've been loving this laptop.

[@asterisk4424]

Won't lie, only way I was able to get coil whine out of this machine was to plug and charge it to 100%, then move the mouse around or open a program until I got a sound. Unplugged this thing is silent. Great review btw, you've actually convinced me to buy the pen. Had no idea you could take notes and then convert them into word, that's gonna be an awesome tool for school.

[@TimeToUninstall]

I've got the XPS 13 9350 and I absolutely love mine. Glad to see another great edition to the XPS 13 family. Great review Linda!

[@towedarray7217]

I don't know where I'd be without Lisa's reviews. She's been vital to my decision process at every single step. Very lucky that she does these and I hope she is well taken care of by the MFG's that supply her with her test devices. She's thorough, realistic and comes across as very very credible. Thank you Lisa! (if you see this comment).

[@JackItGames]

Who else like's watching videos of things we can't afford?

[@Daemon1995_]

get a job

[@robocopvn]

a long-waited video, at last!

[@sreeinfo03]

Thank you Lisa, Perfect review. I've been waiting for this forever!

[@leomdk939]

You are my favorite laptop reviewer on KZbin ... thanks for doing such a great job with all these videos. :)

[@nikoachtzehn4776]

excellent review! especially that you opened it. few reviewers seem to do that.

[@CharlietoKind]

I wish you were my mom. my mom doesn't even know how to reset her passwords on her iPad lmao

[@iizavala]

your mom dislikes your comment (i'm telling her)

[@unicornguard]

OMG I was waiting for this exact video! Thank you, Lisa!~

[@brdnmlna]

Thanks for always doing such great reviews, by far my favorite tech reviewer on KZbin!

[@ThE4EvRPs3GaMeR]

Hey Lisa! Will you be getting a Top Specced Dell XPS 15 9560 4k Review Model? I'm thinking of buying one. However, I just can't decide if I want the 4k or regular FHD. After using a 4k laptop recently, I've fallen in love with them. However, I don't want to get the FHD and be disappointed if the display is not as sharp as the 4k models. Thank!

[@EIGHTY7graphics]

That's the one I'm probably going to buy too. XPS 15 4K fully spec'd.

[@mobiletechreview]

I don't yet know which version Dell will send us for review. Sometimes we get a choice, sometimes we get both. I have expressed a preference for a 4K loaner this time around.

[@ThE4EvRPs3GaMeR]

Gotcha. Thanks so much Lisa, for the quick reply. I am a long time viewer. I only trust your input on the computers I have an interest in. Much Appreciation!

[@TheInfoGamerTV]

Will we get a review for the dell xps 15 9560 until early March ? Thats when i got the money to buy one. I informed myself about the product of course before. But your reviews have alsways so much information that I like. Even though there must be a big problem to stop me from buying it. thank you for your nice reviews btw :)

[@becontentandsilencethemind1562]

hope u get both...im torn between the 2 aswell

[@patrickford9615]

I'm using mine for school. I need the note taking. I got 9365 w i7y and 16 GB and 256 GB SSD. it's great if you don't need a discrete GPU. no gaming or Cad. Pros are the battery life, very light, small footprint, and it feels great to hold and use and look at. Very practical for students.

[@gnomiedan5424]

could u do a HP Spectre 2 in vs the Dell 2 in 1 please

[@Rpeices]

Absolutely great review and 100 % informative

[@Garciaformica]

Great review as always, Lisa!

[@eitanyochanan8586]

do you have a video ThinkPad x1 carbon yoga (2nd gen) vs Dell cos 13 2-in-1?

[@nebulaoperator]

Nice power button. Very catchy , easy to remember.

[@GregMattson]

Great review Lisa, and finally a look at how it functions in tablet mode! I am seriously considering a purchase this year of either this Dell 2 in 1 , or the Surface Pro (probably the 5, which I hear may be out in Q1 of 2017). I would love to see an XPS 13 2-in-1 vs Surface Pro video, especially comparing them for how they function as tablets (ergonomics, screen performance, active pen, etc), and how they compare as laptops (not for power, as we already have seen, but for screen quality, keyboard, etc).

[@CameronCooperC1MER0N]

What are the two laptops under it at 3:19 the white one looks like a yoga but what is the one on the bottom?

[@LZentertainments]

This is probably my favorite laptop

[@Pharaoh_in_the_sheets]

chattering squirrel killed me.

[@JulienPons]

Photoshop does a lot more when asked to put Camera Raw on a smart object than just launching Camera Raw from a raw file. Every smart object (unless converted to a linked file) is basically an encapsulated PSD; hence more cpu / hard drive time needed to save / refresh / open it.

[@Matt-wg9xn]

Don't judge me too harshly for being shallow, but I simply cannot get over the webcam being at the bottom. I would take an s6 edge display style with a bit more on top for the webcam (or if they moved the damn speakers to the top)

[@abubakrakram6208]

I agree that it's pretty awful, but it doesn't really matter on a 2-in-1.

[@tipoomaster]

"It does do the chattering squirrel, at least it doesn't do the EEEEE mosquito" Lol, I vote for a video where Lisa does coil whine noises while naming each type.

[@felixdietzCGN]

Lisa, can you set the photos app to a setting like "crop to fill screen" when showing devices? I always find it misleading, especially in quick cuts i often get the wrong impression on bezel sizes

[@adamkingofficial]

Will this handle external graphics like the akitio node 3 and an external gpu like the gtx 1080?

[@LisaGade]

It should, though so far it takes patience and a tolerance for occasional hiccups/crashes to get Thunderbolt 3 Dells working with products like the Razer Core.

[@fadoobaba]

CPU is very weak man.

[@adamkingofficial]

fadoobaba What about the original xps 13 since it has more power?

[@jamesw2831]

Linus Tech Tips showed that it is compatible with eGPUs. Will you be able to play a whole night of games? No. But you can't even do that with some U series laptops. Depends on their cooling methods. If you want to play games, Razer has the Razer Blade. 4 pounds, quad core i7, GTX1060. Do not get the QHD version lest you want NO battery.

[@Bozozaclown]

Lisa, still using the Notebook 9 pro? Prefer it over the xps15 cause of the dedicated home, page up, page down, and end buttons. Thanks for your reviews!

[@akilcrawford5617]

Excellent review. Thank you!

[@JAKOB1977]

anyway to decifer what pen technology is in play.. I asking about the teclast x2 pro and the 256level pen there fit to the Teclast X series. I cant see anything in devive manager about what tech there active stulys are using.?? (you did have some of the teclast x prp series in for review didnt you, ?)

[@NikoHeijboer]

Does the magnetic base cause any problems for the Wacom digitizer? My first Galaxy Note's digitizer was distorted in some area's because I used a magnetic case.

[@endoracing]

Are you sure that is the correct part number for the pen for the 9365?

[@howierader8917]

As always great vid Lisa...but still luvin' my Samsung 9 Spin!

[@bw88321]

Really great review, glad that i got my USED surface book performance base i7

[@mukeshghimire1dharmikmanch]

Can I use video editing software on this laptop???

[@abyssabyssabyss]

This is the perfect machine for me. I already have an alright rig, running on my RX 480 so I can play all the games I want, but I need to be able to take something with me to school other than the chromebook they get me, so I can also do things like photoshop or other things in my spare time at school, and even outside of school. I like using photoshop, so I like the fact it has pen input. I don't need deadly accurate (I can use my bamboo tablet for that) so this is great for me. Once I'm done working this summer I'm gonna go for the top of the line of this

[@Roushrsh]

Is a review for the 9560 coming soon? Or are you waiting for the finger print model? Maybe for it to arrive?

[@boomerstack]

Hello Lisa, could you do a smack-down of the Lenovo Yoga 720 13" with this Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 and/or the HP Spectre X360? Any review or information on the new Yoga 720 would be great! The 13" and the 15" yoga 720 are even available in Canada now but there is NO reviews on these products anywhere. The Dell XPS 13 2-in-1, HP Spectre X360 and now the Lenovo Yoga 720 are all good contenders for my upcoming purchase, but it's hard to chose when I can't compare with the Lenovo. Your opinions are always appreciated in all your videos and reviews.

[@ISIMUSI]

Any incoming review of the new Dell XPS 15" ? i found your reviews been the best on KZbin :)

[@TonyNguyen-it7vd]

I'm kind of glad I didn't waited for this and just went with the macbook. Coil whine is still an issue, and now they've moved down to core M with no ventilation.

[@yfzhou7075]

happens to know that the noise comes up whenever the CPU changes its frequency thanks to a flaw in Turbo Boost. If you turn TB off in BIOS the noise disappears.

[@srujay]

Dear Lisa, Kindly do a video review soon of the HP spectre x360 2017 models both 13 n 15 inch versions and also do compare them to this machine as well as the hp elite series as its all to confusing and you always help us out in deciding which is d right machine for whom :) Also asking for alot but Hp spectre x360 2017 shud be compared to d new macs :))

[@Steve-gv7qi]

srujay ditto

[@abubakrakram6208]

People love to compare the Spectre and MacBook Pro, but is there really a comparison? The 15 inch MacBook Pros are quad core, and the Spectre is dual core. The MacBooks are (ironically,) significantly more powerful (and more expensive!)

[@DSDSDS1235]

Does this have anything like quick charge or dash charge? I always wonder if laptops have them, or if they are too common in laptops it doesn't even have a name.

[@valjosemendoza5679]

can you review the new and updated HP envy please

[@ms.rileyandersen]

What is that name of the font letters you used ?

[@donkeyle6364]

The screen is quite complex. Without calibrating, Notebookcheck only measure 70% sRGB, 44% AdobeRGB while MobileTechReview measure it with 97% sRGB, 76% AdobeRGB after calibrating. Why did Dell not do calibrate at the beginning?

[@Eric-n4w4w]

I'm deciding on HP spectre x360 kabylake and this model, could you do a smackdown? That would be very interesting.

[@pressxtojason]

Is there some kind of 2-in-1 that has a U series processor and good pen performance? So far the Surface Pro and Surface Book seem to be the only contenders but are there any alternatives?

[@Flyer4EVER7]

Hey Lisa, did you talk about the Fingerprint sensor? How fluid is it?

[@MadelnMachines]

I wish they'd made the new XPS 15 quad core convertible. I would give it a real USP given there's no mainstream competition for it - only the niche Vaio canvas which uses an old processor and has a small screen. They really messed up this one with the weak processor otherwise I would have been tempted.

[@cookehmonstashe5332]

are you going to review the 2017 notebook 9?

[@galihprabasidi8498]

They should change that battery charge indicator to add more ports

[@sdovas]

are you going to-or HAVE you reviewed the XPS 15 in any configuration? I'm looking at these books for graphics &video intensive work, I've come away from the MS Surface devices disappointed, but there seem to be compromises is every gdamn model I've looked at. Even Dell sales admits same. Any insight for a Photoshop/AfterEffects intensive geek would be appreciated. ..

[@shmittty89]

Whatever happened to that Casper mattress you got forever ago?

[@Heydd00]

LOL

[@dannicki1768]

Hey Lisa, I really like your reviews! Can we expect a review on the 2nd gen Thinkpad X1 yoga soon? Thank you and keep up the great work!

[@acegamer5719]

you need to do a review for new hp spectre x360 15 inch.. looking forward to it

[@ikjadoon]

YES. I'm realllly curious about this one.

[@Rez-N-8]

Lisa, great video. How much of a performance and battery hit do you think the Dell XPS 2-in-1 have with the with QHD display?

[@michaelreynolds235]

I own this machine.. USB-C to USB cord isn't a problem. I do notice that the screen brightness will very briefly increase and decrease at times while using. The i5 processor is plenty fast enough for me and the standard screen resolution is great. The laptop is super light and compact. Lisa didn't mention that there is no fingernail indention on the lid which makes this 2n1 a bit harder to open up. I wish that Dell had made their lid logo light up like the Apple MP but this Dell XPS 13 2n1 is a LOT cheaper than the Apple MP and comes with MS Windows 10 which I think is a plus.

[@100eyez4]

does that stylus PN556W works all all capacitive touch screen, I have Dell Inspiron 13, 7000 series, is it compatible with that?

[@Jimjumjimmy]

Really confused as to what to get, surfacebook or the lenovo p40? or this? i dont know

[@worthless_opinion]

It's just a joke this thing costs *more* than a standard xps 13, while having a core m cpu. Just no, Dell. No.

[@Ryebanana]

It's the price you pay for the tablet form factor though.

[@VoraciousAvgeek]

Is there a 15" version?

[@olifern]

Hi Lisa, can you please suggest the best value for money 'fanless' laptop? This one should be one of them, but the asus zenbook flip UX360CA-UBM1T is another one for just 499 on the Microsoft store. I would be using it primarly for browsing...but maybe around 20 tabs in chrome

[@fastxsam]

I feel the same as everyone else. the flip feature will not make up for the weak M processor. I have an old netbook with an atom processor that can't do anything because the processor is so weak. I think I will be looking towards an xps 15 myself

[@Beast_or_food]

can u do a review on the Samsung notebook 7 spin

[@mahyar103]

Hi Is the pen slippier than SP4 Pen? Most pens review usually miss comment about pen tip friction, if anybody knows please tell

[@Rez-N-8]

Also forgot to ask. How does the keyboard and trackpad compare to the standard Dell XPS 13 laptop (newest model)?

[@mobiletechreview]

They are the same-- identical.

[@rastafari8459]

Does anyone know if a pen display removed from a laptop can be used as a separate digitizer?

[@chewypiano]

Please have a smackdown with this and the lenovo yoga 910

[@Dan-iv4zs]

Unlegit User Yess I'm trying to decide between these right now. I kinda want a yoga 910 with the 940MX but they are hard to get and pricy

[@chewypiano]

Murphy Dan ye i agree that the price is on the high side...but i like the batt life on the 910

[@jamesw2831]

Yoga 910 is by far the best 2 in 1 per the benchmarks. It lacks Thunderbolt 3 and that shift key is annoying.

[@damian_chidera_7]

You are one of the best ma 🙌

[@gangstaelegantproductions2780]

I got around a 700-1000 dollar budget, any good recommendations on portable (light and thin) as well as good on performance and good ratio? maybe even a touchscreen?

[@Fredo10]

Loko8 you should check out her best ultra book late 2016 Video she threw in a couple of lap tops in your price range

[@Gibbols]

Loko8 the best value I decided on a few months ago was the Lenovo 710s. Got it bout £600+. Dual core Kaby lake, iris graphics, decent FHD screen no touchscreen, 256 SSD (and a fast one too). Really good quality all in all for the price. Weighs just under 1.2kg which is lighter than the xps 13. Only thing that needs improvement is battery life, which is about 5 or more hours on normal use. I suspect the iris graphics drains more power than typical hd graphics. Check it out. :)

[@gangstaelegantproductions2780]

Isaac Lim I definitely will, thanks a lot!

[@Valdronable]

Would you recommend the regular XPS 13 or the 2-in-1 version?

[@flightskipper7008]

are there any other infinity display laptops besides the dell ones?

[@mobiletechreview]

HP did it with the size bezels on the Spectre x360, but not the top (they wanted to maintain the webcam in its traditional top position). That's pretty much it right now for the nearly no-bezel look.

[@The_Northerner]

flight skipper Lenovo Yoga 710 or 910. Big bottom bezel, but that's fine to me.

[@therealist2000]

Please review the Xiaomi Notebook Air, beautiful laptop.

[@UmarAbid]

which is the best for me I would like i7 and thin laptop for 3d work. Must have thunderbolt and usb 3.1. With a good battery life. Can you help?

[@VictorRodriguezArt]

so for doing a lot of digital art would you still recommend it or is the surface pro 4 still better? in your opinion.

[@mobiletechreview]

I prefer the Wacom AES digitizer, but would rather be able to combine that with a Core i5 or Core i7 U series CPU. So that leads me to the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga that takes care of both and is available with an OLED display too.

[@VictorRodriguezArt]

MobileTechReview thanks for the input.

[@noerchen5840]

MobileTechReview are you gonna be making a review for the newly announced x1 yoga?

[@martinjuicaa]

better surfacebook for that, but wait for the usb type c generation

[@TechFenixx]

Just one question Dell: Why don't you put a real i5 or i7 in there and make it as powerfull as the normal XPS line? I would have already bought it for photo editing and studying! I just don't get it..

[@albertgertskis4355]

Will you review the 2nd Gen Lenovo X1 Yoga? Thanks Lisa!

[@AdrienGravelle]

If you use this in "presentation" mode (upside-down V mode), does the chin cam effect go away? Is the camera even properly aimed at your face?

[@wandrinsheep]

yes it does. as I've seen from other reviews

[@santiagodelbono1]

Adrien Gravelle I did not find any other review of this computer. Could you please send me the link?

[@Gibbols]

Adrien Gravelle I think you mean tent mode. Presentation mode is the L form but with the screen facing the usual back. :)

[@wandrinsheep]

ill send the link soon, will have to go dig it up. but it was a vid from the verge I think or another one that was more of a brief summary than a full review. and they showed it in tent mode and it looked like a regular angular webcam. no underchin/nose shots

[@michaelkogan4343]

Hello Lisa. I have a few questions. I am a big fan of Dell family, I purchased the 1 you're going over, yes it is nice expensive machine, I have the core I7, I needed a fast mid size-lightweight laptop , so I can easily travel with it, I use it only for work, I trade online, so I needed some thing that would process and edit lots lots of a high quality images fast, however I got the Dell xps 13 2 in 1, it's all good except one thing, it's get overheat, why? some times I think that I made the wrong decision, as for the almost same price, I could have Mac, I just don't like Apple, HP was also an option, but I choose Dell.

[@abearah9255]

The 75 people you disliked it must be hp people

[@sha6146]

Does it have a usb port and a pen??

[@smwchannel5534]

When surface pro 5 will release?

[@Snopix7]

spring

[@TheInternetBully94]

Can this laptop at least run autocad or catia decently?

[@edgurrr]

My xps 13 with i5, 8GB memory and the slower format 128GB ssd broke down and I was offered this laptop with the y7 processor, 8GB, and the PCIe 256GB ssd as a replacement--did I get ripped off?

[@edgurrr]

I ONLY use it for word, browsing, and streaming.

[@ironman5180]

"[...] in the bus [...]" lol Love your content, keep up the great work.

[@bradyolinger9457]

Does the yoga 910 have pen support???

[@VincentMichael207]

Brady Olinger no. I had to return mine. also it had poor battery life and the fucking shift key is fucked up and the arrow up key is where the shift key is supposed to be

[@Garcia1900]

hello lisa . You rock!!!!you are my favorite reviewer you really know what you're talking about cand you do a comparison with the samsung notebook 9 spin vs this new 2in 1 dell xps 13 pleaseeeee pleassseeee thank you!!!!!!!

[@dangoruiz3259]

Whenever I see a Core M laptop for more than $800, I just think "why"?

[@Zoomat4]

convertibles are supposed to be smaller and lighter. Having no cooling system is a good way to adress that.

[@Montisaquadeis]

Dango Ruiz yeah Intel needs to bring the price of the core "m" cpus down in price otherwise companies cant make cheaper devices using them and the basically sell for the same as standard core devices

[@gz6616]

Agree, I hate Core M, simply hate it. Why can't they use Core U things on this, because the back-flip will block the vents?

[@hanteroes]

Dango Ruiz that's why they renamed it "core y"

[@faresachab9951]

because no fans that's why

[@fugalibrana]

this device includes the pen?

[@gamalo79]

Hi, very good presentation. Thank you. Is dell active pen PN557W workable for this XPS 13 2 in 1

[@sagniksarkar5142]

Which one is better Intel core M3-6Y30 vs core i3-7100?

[@FatalityDiablo]

hey Lisa, a review of the upcoming Lenovo miix 720 would be much appreciated :)

[@ejonys007]

Please review Asus Zenbook Flip 14 with the 8th gen Intel.

[@vincenteoh]

My Macbook Air 2013 still working like charm...

[@steeltwistercoaster]

Anyone know how this will work for multitasking (with i7 and 16gb RAM)? I need to have like 20 chrome tabs open + some word documents/power points + adobe pdfs and even textbooks in pdf form open. Wondering if I should go with the regular model, I just like this one because of the USB C charging allowing me to have one charger for phone and laptop. Might be comfy for watching movie in tablet mode but i'll probably never use that

[@lordbachus]

As soon as they release this with a quad core i7 and 32 GB of memmory i will buy one witouth thinking, love the model..
