LONG TERM (2 Month) Review - New Dell XPS 13 9300 (2020)!

@@rufdymond I’m looking to buy this computer for mi engineering degree, have you experienced any problems with the track pad or anything unusual? If you could briefly share your experience with it, it would be really useful, thanks.

@@pascualini - Well I no longer have the laptop, the one I received had a lot of problems and just didn’t work properly. I wasn’t happy with the support that Dell provided so I sent the laptop back and got a refund. I bought a ASUS ZenBook S instead which I’m very happy with - if you can get one without any problems then it is a very nice laptop.

[@dadevilfuss8616]

Change the resolution in setting and also the screen refresh rate if possible. It improves battery.

[@alexschumann7843]

Changing the resolution won't help the battery life...The pixels are still there and being used

[@rogerham]

@@alexschumann7843 it doesnt save battery due to screen brightness or pixels used, it saves battery because it uses half processing cycles to draw the entire screen.

[@alexschumann7843]

Rojay Nazir your right I wonder if the impact would even be noticeable though. I’m sure it would be in more demanding applications

[@RobinHow]

Nice review Gracey - I've just bought one of these and am waiting for delivery so good to know how someone who likes it. One tip for all windows users - dock the taskbar on the left side of your screen instead of at the bottom. Whether you're using 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratios, you have more width than height and width is rarely a limiting factor. So dock that puppy on the left - you'll soon get used to it being there and you'll never go back!! :D

[@graceytech3462]

Good point! I may have to try this out :)

[@RobinHow]

@@graceytech3462 Just grab it where there's no icon and drag it there. One or two older programs don't realise and go behind it but most don't. You can also just snap a program to the top of the screen and it will resize.

Super sleek and battery is superb. I have been loving it! I bought a laptop cooler recently as it can get pretty hot when gaming. But again thats not even why i bought it but happy to say it can play even some higher spec games with no problem with a few system tweaks. I also purchased an adapter hub due to the lack ports. If you need a professional laptop that can also handle casual gaming i highly recommend.

[@joey9903]

At first I thought that was the original finish on the exterior which would've been really cool.

[@PierreLeVan]

Great review. I agree with the 4k. Despite what other reviewers say you can really see the difference on a 13 inches laptop comparing to HD screens. It is hard to come back to a lower resolution once you have tried it. And being able to charge from both sides is really practical in the daily life. That is a really simple feature but it is a huge improvement when you move a lot with your laptop. And I never thought about the new angle ; thanks for pointing it.

[@graceytech3462]

Exactly, going back once you've tried it isn't that simple :') Glad you enjoyed the review!

[@PierreLeVan]

@@graceytech3462 I have a quick question about Premiere Pro. Does it perform well with your configuration?

Extremely well! Smooth operation and exporting times are quite good - my last video was 21 minutes long and took around 21 minutes to export :)

[@douglee3839]

Sharing a comment on backing up your SSD. After I loaded all the software into my XPS 9300 and was happy with how everything was working, I connected an external NVMe drive via USB C. I cloned the 1 TB primary drive in 11 minutes and 50 seconds. It's been a pleasure transferring files at USB C speed. Over the years I have had several SSD drives suddenly fail. Part of my decision in choosing the XPS over the MBP was that the NVMe drive is removable in the Dell.

[@rsingh.1]

Just curious, what program did u use to clone it?

[@jeanniesong9010]

@@stow8619 Thanks. I feel the laptop is quiet after updating something(?). I hope the noise and heat are due to initial set up/installation.

[@cipriandinca1647]

Read this, it's gonna help you! I have 2 things to point for you since I'm blind and video isn't a thing for me. 1. Checking for updates. I do this at least once per day for both Android and windows. For the best and to make sure you got the latest things installed, write update in the start search bar and click on check for updates. This'll make sure you get all available patches. Yes, the problem can and will be fixed, if not already with Windows 2004. 2. Audio. As a music producer and an audio experimented user, I suggest you don't use any headset microphones to input audio. Even the builtin mic is better at del. To change audio device, type sound into the start search bar and click on sound settings. Go to recording tab and choose your internal mic as an input device. This will help a lot. Do this after connecting the headset so their mic is seen as active. Happy to help you and I'm happy because I see a girl with a windows ultrabook. Also, thanks for all these details about the laptop, I'm also thinking to pick it out. I need a lot of good resources for good audio edit and I heard, also on youTube that it's sound is very good and reflects the bitrate difference so great. Thanks again!

17:24 - unexpected ASMR. I'd also like to add to the unsolicited recommendations in this comment section and say that Search on the taskbar is wasted space. You can press the Windows key on the keyboard (or Start with your mouse) and immediately start entering your query.

[@Apenschi]

Very good and helpful! Thanks! If you plan to do another video on the XPS 13, please say something about the noise it makes (fan, coil whining and quality of the speakers)! Would also really like to see you doing a XPS 15 review.

[@douglee3839]

I just got this computer. Make sure to update all the software both in Dell Assist and Windows update before using the computer. In Dell Power Management I switched the fans from balanced to quiet and the fans immediately stopped. Since then, I have only heard the fans come on at low speed a couple of times. No coil whining. The speakers are fine but not exceptionally good. Distortion only happens at the highest volume.

[@ChaseLee]

FYI: For the audio switching issue, you don't need to go all the way into the control panel to switch the default audio playback device. If you click on the audio icon on the bottom right and then click on the title in the slide-up popup menu, it should give you an option to select a different audio output device. It's weird that Windows doesn't detect this when you try to use the microphone... Maybe the software is detecting that the current device doesn't have a microphone and is using the built-in microphones in the laptop, so it doesn't switch to the output device with the actual microphone? 🤷‍♀️ Your guess is as good as mine.

[@graceytech3462]

Good to know! Yeah I don't know why this is an issue just in this laptop but I'll try to figure it out

Not sure if anyone's mentioned it yet, but if you click on the volume icon in the system tray on the bottom right, you can click on the current sound device and change it. Saves you having to go through the control panel settings. My laptop doesn't always automatically swap either, but if I do this I can switch from my Headphones to Headphones in headset mode.

[@ryanmartinage]

I believe you can set 1080p res to your power saving mode on power settings.

[@Squidward1314]

Setting a 4K screen to 1080p does not really help battery life. The higher power draw of the 4K screen is due to the much smaller pixels of the panel itself which restrict the backlight more. Therefore the backlight needs to be much brighter to achieve the same perceived brightness for the user.

[@ryanmartin4109]

No different, except play games

[@ts8960]

that won't save any power. It would just make 4 different pixels the same color

[@natep6729]

I think they can go for a 14 inch with the speakers on the top without having to worry about it being too big. With that design, a 14 inch dell xps will still be smaller or about the same size as the rival 13 inch laptops. Just my 2 cents.

[@skip741x3]

you really did a great review, enjoyed how thourough you were! thanks!

[@Stan_sprinkle]

My biggest gripe was how the screen color/balance would sometimes change, depending on the app you're using. (Just Josh is the only reviewer I've seen that called this out). If you're using one app for a bit, and then switch to something like Outlook, it's like the whole screen has this whitewash over it for 30 second and then it seems to correct itself. This happened for me on both the 4k model I initially purchased, and the FHD+ model I got second (in hopes of much better battery life, but it wasn't as dramatically different as I'd hoped). I'm in my early 40's, and perhaps my eyes are starting to change and are more sensitive, but overall it just made my eyes tired and I would get frustrated using the Dell's screen for long - would switch back to my monitor. I kept blaming it on my bad eyes. Then, I tried the new MacBook Pro, and realized it wasn't the fault of my eyes. I ended up returning the Dell and keeping the MBP for a variety of reasons. For me it was the right decision because I love using MacOS and hadn't had a Mac for several years. I didn't realize how much Windows pisses me off until I had a Mac again. /// All that said, the XPS 9300 is by far my favorite Windows laptop I've tried, and I tried a lot in the last 6 months. I bought and returned all of the following: Lenovo C940 (just didn't feel snappy next to the others), latest XPS 2-in1 (keyboard sucks), Spectre X360 4k OLED (had a hardware hinge issue), MacBook Air (too weak), XPS 9300 4k and the FHD+ model.

[@immavillamor8809]

[@Jojaje-124]

About that audio problem: Your default device won't change on its own BUT every decent video calling app should have the option to select specific audio in and output devices. Just select the right devices instead of selecting default (won't probably work for web based apps but still)

[@douglee3839]

I got the same laptop last week. Like you, for me the vividness of the 4K screen outweighed the shorter battery life. I have not tried this myself yet but as others have mentioned you can turn off screen touch, lower the brightness and set to 1080p to extend the battery life. You could also purchase the Dell Power Companion or a generic external battery brick. Getting an adjustable desk stand may resolve your viewing angle concern. Sounds like you may have a driver issue with your headset? Anyway, thanks for your video and good luck on your engineering degree.

[@vforventure3956]

Great Review. I love mine to death. I picked up the 2 in 1 7390 version. It does come with touchscreen that's regular 1080p. just find a way to optimize your batt life to pull out some more juice. you can probably get at least another 45 mins to 1 hour with your batt optimization.

[@definitelynotashark1799]

I have the previous gen XPS (9560).. Love this thing. But damn the new gen is sexy. Incidentally my current one has a lot small defects (all very common hardware faults with that gen). Thanks to my country's customer protection laws I could in theory demand to swap it out with the 9300 instead of having it repaired (I'd get a new machine anyway because of the sheer number of issues). I'd just have to pay the difference. So I'm trying to justify paying an extra 500 bucks (equivalent) vs getting a new machine of the old one for free. I'm REALLY tempted. I'd personally always go for the FHD model because of the enormous impact on battery life from the 4K, and on a pretty small screen it doesn't really pay off imo. Same with i5 vs i7. If you're generally running a heavy CPU load, an i7 will be more energy efficient. For more typical use, the i5 will be more modest. Even when running several processes in SPSS, having two instances of opera with 20ish tabs each, listening to music and editing a formula-heavy work document simultaneously, I rarely cross 30-40% CPU load.

For your microphone problem: If you never use the built-in microphone either you could just deactivate it in the system controls.

Just wanted to know your opinion on one thing. The one thing we find everywhere we read a review is the lack of I/O ports in XPS 13 esp usb A considering that many devices still connect using that. How has that affected you while using XPS 13?

[@graceytech3462]

It hasn't bothered me too much because I have a lot of Bluetooth devices - head phones, mice, keyboard. I prefer this because I don't like having wires crisscrossing all over my desk. As such, I haven't really been bothered by the lack of I/O. A lot of my newer devices are also using USB C as many companies have joined the bandwagon by now - this is the trend and will be pushed even more firmly in the future. If you are still using USB A, there is a bundled USB-A to USB-C adaptor that comes with the laptop. This has been sufficient for my only USB, which is USB-A. You can find dongles with several USB-A ports that will plug into USB-C, but it will set you back around $XX in Australia.

[@graceytech3462]

Hi! I added a link in the description :)

@@graceytech3462 Thank you very much :)

[@aguilaairgamer]

Hey! I have a 1080p touchscreen XPS 9300 FYI

[@nks104]

How is the resolution on that model of it? Does it get in the way?

[@aguilaairgamer]

NykoEdits2 i dont think so... i believe that it is enough for 13” laptop

[@katrinanagal2433]

How’s the battery life?

[@aguilaairgamer]

Katrina Nagal pretty decent, between 6 and 12 hours depending on use. Probably an average of 9hrs

[@andreaisabelcontreras30]

Do you experience any problems with the fan? Is it noisy?

[@medici__]

Tysm for the video! Planning on getting a xps 15!

[@BoySandyGladiesArriezona]

I see that you sometimes use CAD software and Adobe Premier. How much heat was produced when you run each of that app? I mean, did it get hotter than Macbook or not (I have MacBook but want to swap it with others since I can't stand the heat).

[@graceytech3462]

It wasn't that hot for me (I'll make a video about this) but I don't have a MacBook so I can't make a direct comparison.

[@BoySandyGladiesArriezona]

@@graceytech3462 I will really look forward to the video. Thanks for answering.

[@jamess7140]

If you reduce the onscreen resolution you may find that it extends battery life by a bit.

[@King-zo4vv]

That wallpaper 😍😍😍

[@Margo-v2k]

great video , my only complain is the audio quality

[@crochet_by_sydney7815]

I just have a question, I’m looking for a laptop I can game on and draw on, on a budget. Can you just test for me and see if this runs Roblox and Roblox studio and just let me know in the comments? Ty

[@anadelalama1733]

How many hours of battery do you usually get?

[@kfash5198]

Hi dear, I also live in New zealand. I purchased the 2 in 1 version but i was having issues with it. after 2 days, It didnt come on again. So i wanna get the 2020 15 inch version. Nice review

[@queenstownswords]

So the machine 'died' after 2 days? Wow. Not flash. The xps 15 might have heat issues... I am waiting on more xps 15 reviews. About the bluetooth microphone issue, I have the same issue with an older HP. So I figure it is a Windows 10 issue.

[@kfash5198]

@@queenstownswords Yeah. its a windows issue. I have same problem with my surface pro

[@itsjoselyneh]

What specs did you choose for your laptop?

[@Labuddhista]

Can you put a link to your copy because I dont find that beutidul color.

[@BPEKSupraInteractive]

Do you have trouble seeing the keys at night with the backlight on? Is it harder to see because of the white keys?

[@graceytech3462]

Not at all. When it's very dark (no lights on in the room), the white keys just become black essentially and all you see is the lit-up letters and the edges of each key. When you are in a mid/dim light setting the contrast between the white key and the letters (which appear black) is great. I have never felt that the white keys made it harder to see. It's just the same as if I had a black keyboard imho.

[@Onion_Knights]

Laptop battery life is bad anyways, if it can get 4 to 5 hours its actually pretty good. The laptop with longest battery life i owned so far is actually a pretty old laptop. Until now, it can still get 6 to 7 hours battery life at least with normal use. And thats the Acer S7 (i7, never own a laptop with processor thats i5 lol)

[@pattyesf]

What about the backlit keyboard? I’ve seen some videos where people say it’s not great... I am considering getting this laptop but I do a lot of homework at night and I want a nice backlit keyboard

[@graceytech3462]

Hey, just posted a new video which shows the backlit keyboard. Hope you find it useful :)

[@pattyesf]

Gracey Tech thank you! I’ll definitely check it out. I prefer to watch real people with real opinions rather than just techy sponsored guys with biased opinions so I enjoy your videos!

[@bensu6672]

I am stuck between this and the matebook x pro but I am contemplating because both have cooling issues:(

[@FirstLast-tb7qn]

The white keyboard is very nice.

[@justanopinion3588]

Great review! As a fellow engineering student have you ran fea on it? And how is the performance? Mine is coming in this week i7 16gb ram

[@hannankhashir6375]

Does premiere works well on it ?

[@ballerinamoon]

where to get this laptop? I could not find it on amazon. please give me the link:(

[@k.r.1368]

What about the screen size.. isn't it a bit too small..?
