This needs to stop. It's anti consumer. Apple is the worst offender. Can't even swap the drive on their macbook. I would never buy a Macbook for that reason alone.
Remember when laptops where slightly lighter than your desktop? Yeah I don't miss those days at all. If I need power, I just use my desktop. Laptops are supposed to be for work on the go.
I totally agree on 15 inch+ laptops, it makes no sense to solder parts. HOWEVER this is 13". This thing weights 1,3 kg and is less that 12 millimeters thick. Soldering is to me acceptable price for delivering product of this size while keeping thermal performance in check.
Lmao. That's fine, and I'm not sure they have Thunderbolt 3. Moreover, eGPU just sucks. It will never be the same as a gaming laptop or an ultra book + gaming computer setup. Price wise, performance wise, literally any point of view. You travel and want an ultra book for office work and still want to play games ? Make a portable PC - vast majority of tiny ITX portable cases out there - and not all are insanely expensive. And get an ultra book. Carrying an eGPU is stupid as an eGPU RTX 2080 gives the performance of a normal desktop eGPU RTX 2060.
@@danyalreyaz7503 I've tested my same 1080 eGPU across three laptops now. Thunderbolt is a bottleneck, yes, but the CPU is a much bigger one. 7600u (Dual Core/Quad Thread) was ass. 100% CPU usage, sub-60 FPS, maybe 50-60% GPU usage. That was me messing around with my work computer. My old laptop had an 8550u. The bottleneck here was a hardware power limit of 15W; in some games I could thread the needle and get 120 FPS and 85-100% GPU usage. In others, I got 24 FPS and 40% GPU usage. Now I've got a 1065g7 and for the first time the GPU is really stretching its legs. It's thermal limited this time, runs at ~28W and the GPU hits 95% usage in every game I've played thus far. Even in synthetic benchmarks where you wouldn't think that the CPU is the bottleneck, I've seen improvements. I genuinely don't think that "Thunderbolt" is as big of a bottleneck as people expect. That *20% performance dip has dropped significantly for me across the generations.
Been using my Spectre x360 13 for a few weeks now and it’s by far the nicest ultrabook, and laptop even, that I’ve ever used. i7-1065G7 with Iris Plus, 16GB, 512 NVMe, Fingerprint where my hand actually is, 4K touch OLED, WiFi 6, 2 USB-C thunderbolt AND a USB-A port which I’ve already used multiple times, Windows Hello, long braided power cable and included HP active pen. $1289. Might want to revisit that review you gave it...
Hey Linus, just wanted to point out that XPS 9350, 9360, 9370, and 9380 all have soldered RAM. (Timestamp 9:28) The 7390 2-in-1 was the first of the XPS 13 lineup to also solder the storage/m.2, though, if that's what you meant to say? I believe the non 2-in-1 still has the non-soldered PCIe m.2 slot, though.
Got my xps 13 about a month ago. Full specs (except I opted for the 1080 display to save $300). For photo/video editing it's honestly perfect for me. Hooked it up to a 4k 27" monitor and it handles everything effortlessly. And it's small enough to bring it with me when I'm traveling, which is perfect as a photographer!
This was some poor planning as far as video planning goes. "Hey, let's do a video about the 'new' XPS 13, then immediately muddy the waters with another video about the NEW new XPS 13. There's no way this will be confusing."
but then you have to buy an external bluray drive... oh, and make sure you keep that software that comes with it. Sony makes bluray support kinda pricey and janky, so ya need whatever BS software came with it.
@Linus, the clamshell XPS uses membrane keyboard, the XPS 2 in 1 uses keyboard with magnets, that means lower travel speed and better typing experience.
I managed to finish Doom 2016 on this machine in stock with 30 fps, minimal settings, 1280X800. No repasting, thermal pads or undervoltage. This in definitely not a gaming machine.
I use a the a previous 2019 model Dell XPS 9380 (i5-8265U, 1080, no touch) and it is amazing and is almost perfect my business use. Main thing that could of made it better is 6core cpu which wasn't an option at the time. I have had many laptops and often went with the heavy gamer style. I always found myself leaving those laptops behind because of the weight and low battery. Several months ago I finally decided a light weight and good battery option and very happy with the decision. The config I went with and tweaks I have made literally get me 15+ hours of battery life with normal use. I use for, programming, IT, databases, movies, browsing/TH-cam, and with projectors in meetings etc. Keyboard and track pad compared to other laptops is really good. Because of the weight and battery I never leave this laptop behind and use it a lot. Also it has power over type-c power so very nice to use with E-GPU if need extra horse power although I just use remote desktop to a monster desktop when needed. 4k option not worth it. 1080 with Touch Screen is a good choice but you will lose a little on battery life and have glossy display. I didn't go with touch because I wanted little more battery life and the matte display.
i still am all about tiger direct's refurb laptops XD buy a five year old flagship and it will still smoke a modern budget machine at less up front cost
We bought 10 XPS 13 laptops in Feb 2018, I would say half had all kinds of bugs, many firmware updates, the sound driver causes blue screens on most, power management is limited, the laptops keep going to sleep when plugged in and staying on when on battery, overheating in bags and draining the battery.. now 4 laptops have had the battery’s expand and bend the keyboard and track pads.. we tried to repair some of these and the years of heat has cooked the insides, the plastic clips that hold things like ribbon cables crumble when trying to replace the track pads..
I'd like to see 2 more impressions of this: how well does it work with compiler workloads (just compile some big workload with GCC), and how well is it supported by Linux. XPS is not necessarily aimed at photo or video editing, but more for developers.
This video just makes me appreciate my decision to go with the XPS after a constant battle against the MacBook. Can you make an updated video for the new 2022 models once they come out?

Aditya Roy ikr i thought the same thinking they called it segway because of the smooth transition like a segway vehicle. Now I found out it is a completely unrelated thing!! LOL.
Agree. I like mine too, but what I did few hours ago (coincidence) is changing the CPU paste and adding a thermal pad as it got really hot. I already see huge difference and strongly recommend; quite easy to do in fact.
Middle of last year I saw an XPS 15 with 8th gen i7, 16Gb RAM, 512Gb SSD, GTX 1050 Ti, Full HD panel and 97W battery for 1.4-1.5k EUR used from a retailer. I regret not acting on it faster because now it's almost impossible to find the same model for less than 1.8-2k EUR. I tried the 13.3" model with 4K panel for a week or two but the screen felt a bit too small for coding and thus the XPS 15 would have been the perfect choice even today. To me personally it's either XPS or Macbook because I have tried both and they are top quality. Thought would prefer XPS for Windows alone because I'm used to it after many years.
I bought the Teclast X4 + keyboard for around $330+ which is perfect for MS Office, browsing the web and watching TH-cam videos. I'll bring this one to work. I also have a Lenovo laptop with Ryzen 5 3500u cpu and integrated Vega 8 gpu. I have upgraded the RAM to 20gb and the nvme m.2 ssd to 1tb. I use this one at home as a back up. I also have an MSI gaming laptop that I don't use much nowadays.
In my opinion 16:10 or even taller ratio on small screens, for example any laptop you could and would travel with, is a must if you're to do ANY thing related to text on that machine. End of story. Not every one buy a laptop solely for watching netflix, and besides, current monitors are great at dealing the black edges that appear when ratios don't match. Just fire up any large word document or edit any code you'll find you constantly scrolling up and down on 16:9 laptops. The situation is worse when your laptop is under 14-inch. Grab a lenovo x270 and a 12-inch macbook, and you'll notice the difference when processing text, though the similarity in physical screen size.
I've got the Skylake XPS 13 and did a few changes. I swapped the Wifi module with an Intel 8265 (Dell's sucked), upgraded the SSD to a 960 pro, and repasted w/artic silver 5, and thermal pads to conduct heat to the chassis. I never use it on my lap, so why not? I can't forego USB-A ports though, so I'm afraid it's the end of the line for XPS 13 for me, probably going into a Lenovo next.
My college gave us the latitude 2 in 1s, I got the stylus and I don’t think I could live without it. I’m thinking of going with the cops 13 2 in 1 to keep the stylus support for my personal laptop
Lmao the dumbest comment around here. Phones and ARM devices use x86 architecture, which is 32-bit , while desktops have 64bits or x64 architecture. The amount of possibilities it opens is neverending. You can't run Blender, any of the Adobe apps, and you can't do normal desktop stuff in it. U just can't. Bigger displays on a laptop vs a fucking phone also make a huge difference. A phone will never be the same as a desktop machine.
@@danyalreyaz7503 If you think that ARM processors "Just can't" run blender, Adobe apps, etc.. You're in for a world of surprise in a few months when Adobe suddenly drops the creative cloud suite for every ARM device that exists. There's no way in hell they're giving up 30-50% of their subscribers when Mac switches to All-ARM all the time. P.S. ARM has been running 64-bit for quite a while, and definitely has the power to run the apps you mentioned. The main difference is that it's a SISC architecture while x86-based processors use a RISC architecture. P.P.S. all 32 and 64-bit computers are x86-based. "x64" is just a shorthand for "x86-64 bit"
I finally upgraded my old college laptop last week to an XPS 15 with six cores, a GTX 1650, 16GB ram, 512GB ssd, and a 4k OLED display that looks amazing. As much as I'd like the six core XPS 13, the added gpu power and thermal capacity of the 15 was much more worth my money for an on-the-go video editing machine, even if there is a size trade-off.
@@Wei-ym6bs What's wrong with yours? Did you do a re-pasting on it? Mine XPS 2in1 have super bad speakers, even worse than XPS 13 (2014), Linus voice literally cracking them. And a 4k model... it lives like 4 hours on average, wtf? My 1080p xps 13 lived up to 9 hrs on light load and about 6 hrs on average. Thermals were so bad, fans were spinning super fast when i just was watching TH-cam, but since BIOS update happened, it looks better.
I've been daily driving an HP 2in1 ultrabook with Ryzen 7 2700u for over a year now. Boy, am I happy with it. Vega 10 had no problem with light gaming, work I needed to do for school was handled perfectly and utilizing all eight threads for bruteforcing passwords was nice to have. Only problem way with virtualization, but that's something, you have to count on with AMD...
I got the xps 13 9370 at a great discount(cause of my job, ~$750) nearly two years ago and it has been a godsend getting 10-15 hours of working battery life when my previous laptop up weighed 4 lbs and struggled to stay alive for more than an hour.
i bought a c940 yoga 2in1 14" with an i7-1065G7, 16gb ram, 4k HDR screen, win10 pro, 512GB ssd w/ optane, dolby atmos, garaged pen, for about €1400, it's really great. the dell xps 2 in 1 was €800 more for the same spec, not worth it. only a handful of reviewers bother to review the c940 but after lots of research to me it's the best machine over the surface pro/laptop & xps 2 in 1.
Andrew Hunt amd is gonna have 8 cores and a much stronger apu as well. The question is whether oems are gonna go through the hassle of replacing intel systems with amd ones
I have a Predator Helios 500 with Ryzen 7 2700 and Vega 56. I highly doubt we'll see another desktop-in-a-laptop like this again that works this well, so I'll have my eye on them.
Linus on smartphones: fingerprint sensor on back > facial recognition on the front because of notch/bigger bezels. Linus on (2 in 1) laptops: facial recognition with a bigger bezel > fingerprint sensor (which is only sometime) on the back You’re being inconsistent if you ask me. I mean, nobody likes the notch or bigger/unsymmetrical bezels. Not everyone hates it though. But that touch sensor on the XPS is only on the back if you use it as a tablet. Even somebody like Linus (who goes crazy about stuff that is unimportant to people like me, such as RGB and touch on a laptop) only uses it seldomly, that means something. On the other hand a fingerprint sensor on the back of a phone is always at that inconvenient place. You have to switch the way hold the phone after unlocking to use it, definitely if you want to use it with one hand. I know about touch sensors being integrated in screens these days, but the conclusion predates this feature, and if it would be an argument against a notch/bigger upper bezel, then why isn’t it an argument for the XPS? It’s perfectly possible for a laptop as well.
One use case for convertibles that is often overlooked (especially in the era of egpus) is that in tablet mode they can be propped up and used as what is essentially an all in one desktop. This is how i use my surface pro, and whenever dell makes the 15 inch version of the 2 in1, its how ill use that unit as well. It makes me wish that there were universal versions of those Kensington surface pro docks they have at microsoft stores
as someone who have used the older xps 15 7590 and actually tried the new xps 13 and 13 2in1, I can say that as long as price is not a restriction and gaming is not your priority, both will be a heavy hitter and definitely a nearly no compromise daily driver
I'm choosing between an xps 13 and surface laptop 3 for college, which one is better? I'm thinking windows hello and the screen aspect ratio on the surface laptop 3 is better and more convenient but I've always heard great things about the xps too. I wouldn't be doing any gaming or anything on it, just a convenient and fast laptop under $1500

I have the intel 8th gen XPS 13 9360. The ram has been soldered on even for this one. There was never an XPS 13 that could upgrade ram after the 9350.
I really love the XPS. My 9360 still doesn' feel old at all and I'm the guy who always wants the newest iPhone so take that as you may
Agree. I like mine too, but what I did few hours ago (coincidence) is changing the CPU paste and adding a thermal pad as it got really hot. I already see huge difference and strongly recommend; quite easy to do in fact.
My laptop still runs exactly the way it used to when brand new. The only thing I changed was I upgraded from a 512gb ssd to a 1tb ssd
Dell just crushed it. That's why the XPS is so thin.
been hosting a mc server through pebblehost now since the first ads on this channel and it's great

Happy new year from Austria 🇦🇹
so my boy linus threw in the ad without the usual "speaking of" so you had to watch it :)
Middle of last year I saw an XPS 15 with 8th gen i7, 16Gb RAM, 512Gb SSD, GTX 1050 Ti, Full HD panel and 97W battery for 1.4-1.5k EUR used from a retailer.
I regret not acting on it faster because now it's almost impossible to find the same model for less than 1.8-2k EUR.
I tried the 13.3" model with 4K panel for a week or two but the screen felt a bit too small for coding and thus the XPS 15 would have been the perfect choice even today.
To me personally it's either XPS or Macbook because I have tried both and they are top quality. Thought would prefer XPS for Windows alone because I'm used to it after many years.
Hey, Happy New Year LMG. Hope to get great content just like 2019 into 2020 !!!
happy new year everybody!
Linus tech tips? More like linus demuro with the intro. Man was all like:
THIIISSS is the new XPS-13
I bought the Teclast X4 + keyboard for around $330+ which is perfect for MS Office, browsing the web and watching TH-cam videos. I'll bring this one to work.
I also have a Lenovo laptop with Ryzen 5 3500u cpu and integrated Vega 8 gpu. I have upgraded the RAM to 20gb and the nvme m.2 ssd to 1tb. I use this one at home as a back up.
I also have an MSI gaming laptop that I don't use much nowadays.

Fixed
In my opinion 16:10 or even taller ratio on small screens, for example any laptop you could and would travel with, is a must if you're to do ANY thing related to text on that machine. End of story.
Not every one buy a laptop solely for watching netflix, and besides, current monitors are great at dealing the black edges that appear when ratios don't match.
Just fire up any large word document or edit any code you'll find you constantly scrolling up and down on 16:9 laptops. The situation is worse when your laptop is under 14-inch.
Grab a lenovo x270 and a 12-inch macbook, and you'll notice the difference when processing text, though the similarity in physical screen size.
That intro was so unintentionally Doug DeMuro.. "THIS"
I've got the Skylake XPS 13 and did a few changes. I swapped the Wifi module with an Intel 8265 (Dell's sucked), upgraded the SSD to a 960 pro, and repasted w/artic silver 5, and thermal pads to conduct heat to the chassis. I never use it on my lap, so why not? I can't forego USB-A ports though, so I'm afraid it's the end of the line for XPS 13 for me, probably going into a Lenovo next.

My college gave us the latitude 2 in 1s, I got the stylus and I don’t think I could live without it. I’m thinking of going with the cops 13 2 in 1 to keep the stylus support for my personal laptop
My cell phone is 8 core 2.95GHz, 12GB of RAM, 4k 90Hz, double the storage, and $100 cheaper, so why is this laptop impressive?
Because they’re different architectures? Phones and other “mobile” devices use ARM, and PC’s use x86.
Lmao the dumbest comment around here. Phones and ARM devices use x86 architecture, which is 32-bit , while desktops have 64bits or x64 architecture. The amount of possibilities it opens is neverending. You can't run Blender, any of the Adobe apps, and you can't do normal desktop stuff in it. U just can't. Bigger displays on a laptop vs a fucking phone also make a huge difference.
A phone will never be the same as a desktop machine.
@@danyalreyaz7503 If you think that ARM processors "Just can't" run blender, Adobe apps, etc.. You're in for a world of surprise in a few months when Adobe suddenly drops the creative cloud suite for every ARM device that exists. There's no way in hell they're giving up 30-50% of their subscribers when Mac switches to All-ARM all the time.
P.S. ARM has been running 64-bit for quite a while, and definitely has the power to run the apps you mentioned. The main difference is that it's a SISC architecture while x86-based processors use a RISC architecture.
P.P.S. all 32 and 64-bit computers are x86-based. "x64" is just a shorthand for "x86-64 bit"
I finally upgraded my old college laptop last week to an XPS 15 with six cores, a GTX 1650, 16GB ram, 512GB ssd, and a 4k OLED display that looks amazing. As much as I'd like the six core XPS 13, the added gpu power and thermal capacity of the 15 was much more worth my money for an on-the-go video editing machine, even if there is a size trade-off.
Me: is watching this on my 2019 XPS 13
why am i watching this
notnotabot were there other laptops you were considering buying before the 2019 XPS 13?
Same reason I watch MacBook Pro 16 videos. Feels good man
me watching on my 2019 XPS 13 2 in 1. To feel better about my purchase
@@MartyMcFly858 Lenova Yoga, Surface Book 2. Actually was waiting for Surface Book 3, but looks like it's not going to happen soon.
@@Wei-ym6bs What's wrong with yours?
Did you do a re-pasting on it?
Mine XPS 2in1 have super bad speakers, even worse than XPS 13 (2014), Linus voice literally cracking them. And a 4k model... it lives like 4 hours on average, wtf? My 1080p xps 13 lived up to 9 hrs on light load and about 6 hrs on average. Thermals were so bad, fans were spinning super fast when i just was watching TH-cam, but since BIOS update happened, it looks better.
I have the new XPS13 (not 2 in 1) with a Razer Core X Chroma eGPU for at home use. I replaced my desktop with this setup. 10/10 would recommend!
Why ever say "nostrils" when you can say "nose holes" instead 😂
@@tlj2400 What are called nostrils? .. Nose Holes.
asstrils
How can people be so stupid? I mean, you can say "Nose holes" if you're making a joke of some sort, Nostrils are what they called.
They‘re actually called „Noseholes“ in German.
@@fabm4695 Out of all honesty I don't really care because English is what people speak everywhere.
I've been daily driving an HP 2in1 ultrabook with Ryzen 7 2700u for over a year now. Boy, am I happy with it.
Vega 10 had no problem with light gaming, work I needed to do for school was handled perfectly and utilizing all eight threads for bruteforcing passwords was nice to have.
Only problem way with virtualization, but that's something, you have to count on with AMD...
2016: 2 Cores, 4 Threads, 2 USB-A
2020: 6 Cores, 12 Threads, 0 USB-A
Gotta sacrifice USB-a for a better blender render time :D
Would love to see more scrapyard wars content love that stuff Happy New Years !!!
*one week later:* this video is dated
I got the xps 13 9370 at a great discount(cause of my job, ~$750) nearly two years ago and it has been a godsend getting 10-15 hours of working battery life when my previous laptop up weighed 4 lbs and struggled to stay alive for more than an hour.
7:13 AMD Ryzen 7 4800U: HOLD MY CORES
i bought a c940 yoga 2in1 14" with an i7-1065G7, 16gb ram, 4k HDR screen, win10 pro, 512GB ssd w/ optane, dolby atmos, garaged pen, for about €1400, it's really great. the dell xps 2 in 1 was €800 more for the same spec, not worth it. only a handful of reviewers bother to review the c940 but after lots of research to me it's the best machine over the surface pro/laptop & xps 2 in 1.
2019: Intel 6 cores
2020: 6 cores but AMD(Intel ripper)
7nm Ryzen 2 APUs with Navi graphics will kill it in ultrabooks.
Andrew Hunt amd is gonna have 8 cores and a much stronger apu as well. The question is whether oems are gonna go through the hassle of replacing intel systems with amd ones
I have a Predator Helios 500 with Ryzen 7 2700 and Vega 56. I highly doubt we'll see another desktop-in-a-laptop like this again that works this well, so I'll have my eye on them.
Happy new year modufkas
Just realized my old laptop is now a decade old... I gotta admit i have to upgrade...
Edit:i tried to use it after a week and it deosnt work anymore
F for your old laptop
Typing this comment from my brand new XPS 13 2-in-1!! Got yourself a new subscriber!
Correction: The XPS 13 never had upgradable RAM.
yeah. and now the xps 13 2 in 1 has soldered ssd. thanks a lot apple.
Linus on smartphones: fingerprint sensor on back > facial recognition on the front because of notch/bigger bezels.
Linus on (2 in 1) laptops: facial recognition with a bigger bezel > fingerprint sensor (which is only sometime) on the back
You’re being inconsistent if you ask me.
I mean, nobody likes the notch or bigger/unsymmetrical bezels. Not everyone hates it though. But that touch sensor on the XPS is only on the back if you use it as a tablet. Even somebody like Linus (who goes crazy about stuff that is unimportant to people like me, such as RGB and touch on a laptop) only uses it seldomly, that means something.
On the other hand a fingerprint sensor on the back of a phone is always at that inconvenient place. You have to switch the way hold the phone after unlocking to use it, definitely if you want to use it with one hand.
I know about touch sensors being integrated in screens these days, but the conclusion predates this feature, and if it would be an argument against a notch/bigger upper bezel, then why isn’t it an argument for the XPS? It’s perfectly possible for a laptop as well.
Ryzen 4000 launch made this laptop obsolete so fast.
Happy New year from India!

Remember kids that I used Quotes. This means that I didn't say it
Are you okay?
@@awesomeguy5583 yep I sure am
One use case for convertibles that is often overlooked (especially in the era of egpus) is that in tablet mode they can be propped up and used as what is essentially an all in one desktop. This is how i use my surface pro, and whenever dell makes the 15 inch version of the 2 in1, its how ill use that unit as well. It makes me wish that there were universal versions of those Kensington surface pro docks they have at microsoft stores
You changed the title lol
Gotta get that initial clickbait in :p
Last Linus Tech tips video of the Decade
Had to check if this video was made 2014 or 2019 since it was 14nm SMH
HAPPY NEW YEAR LMG😘😘😘
Review the hp spectre x360 late 2019!
Watch Dave lee for laptop stuff. He's much much much better. Ye already did a review
as someone who have used the older xps 15 7590 and actually tried the new xps 13 and 13 2in1, I can say that as long as price is not a restriction and gaming is not your priority, both will be a heavy hitter and definitely a nearly no compromise daily driver
what was the classial music at 5:25?
Beethoven Ninth Symphony
I'm choosing between an xps 13 and surface laptop 3 for college, which one is better?
I'm thinking windows hello and the screen aspect ratio on the surface laptop 3 is better and more convenient but I've always heard great things about the xps too.
I wouldn't be doing any gaming or anything on it, just a convenient and fast laptop under $1500
