Hi there, like as mentioned in some other comments, I never comment but just HAD TO comment for this first time because of the depth of your analysis.Your 43min video trumped all the fluffy sales talk I got for hours of shopping around+days of online research. Your focus on side-by-side show-and-tell of the same task/feature of the two candidates really let us see the nuances that are almost impossible to notice at stores. I also love how you always state very cleary on WHY you personally consider a factor as a pro／con／something that does not matter in a real-life situation FOR YOU PERSONALLY. Your honesty about your personal preferences show to what extent you may be "subjective", and hence is actually the most "objective" review I found so far. For example, nobody out there shows how the hinges compare, how they flex, and how much folding the keyboard outwards may potentially damage the keyboards if the rubber padding isn't thick enough. And little people realize that 4K resolution may sound brilliant, but may be more computationally taxing, hence the heating issue, which is related to fan noise. These implicit details made explicit really help elucidate pitfalls, making one rethink what the specs associated with the price tag really mean in practical situations. Your videos can sure help many people make better choices, if they only had the luck of stumbling on this gem；do keep this well-researched style up, we love it and all thank you for walking us through this tough pick !
I’m a female novice at all things tech and I’m currently in search for my first laptop. This review was very helpful. If I wanted to go for the lightest, smallest (without compromising on practicality and functionality eg. you mentioned 4K is not necessary for 13” screen) and of course good looks for an everyday use laptop, which would you recommend? I’m liking the HP elite dragonfly but I feel I won’t need to use all of its high end features but it ticks 3 of my boxes. Please help
Please don’t apologize for the video being long. It’s very, very, very informative and I really appreciate that you took the time to review these laptops the way you did. I’ve watched so many reviews of many laptops and computers from other youtubers and my favorite is yours for many reasons, but the main reason for me is how you put so much time into this review and you weren’t really rushing through it. Thank you for this review homie!!!!
Your work is exceptional in every video but this review was highly appreciated. You highlighted every possible detail no matter how miniscule it was. This is beneficial for anyone who might be considering to buy either one of these devices. :)
Thank you for this review! There was a lot of factors discussed in the video and they were all very helpful in helping me choose which laptop I am getting for university (I picked Inspiron haha). During this pandemic, I want to avoid going out to go to the store and try the laptop out myself so your detailed review saved my life lol. Your review was also comprehensible for a non-tech person like me. Keep up the great work! :D
Thank you very much for this extremely comprehensive review!! I really like how you demonstrate the build quality; I was originally leaning more towards the Inspiron but the way it was wobbling and its hinge not being as sturdy has made me rethink XPS. You can tell that you have done very thorough research on comparing these two, and I really appreciate you sharing your findings in this video!! :)
Thank you thank you thank you! This was so worth the 40min. Really in-depth yet perfectly understandable for us non-tech folks. You hit on all the right points for making a decision between the two. Thanks again!
In addition to the information and quality of the presentation, your calm, laid-back style was a treat in contrast to the hyped up style of many other reviewers.
I had to make the same decision some month ago and went with the Inspiron 7391 2 in 1. The XPS would be available with 1TB SSD and 32GB RAM but then would cost as 2 Inspirons. I am quite happy with the Inspiron and see the barrel charger as a point as the charger does not block my only TB-Port. I still wish I had 2 TB ports as not all divices are daisychaining and there are no TB hubs available per specification. If I had to make my choice to to again now, I would go with the XPS as 32 GB RAM is quite an advantage. Especially as prices went down quite a lot, I would recommend buying the XPS if possible, but always with 32GB RAM, as you can not upgrade it later, unlike the SSD which can get changed at any time later. The UHD display is for sure not a must, but it helps in many situation, like doing high res screenshots. Thanks for your review.
I just came from your 7391 review and I really thank you for this recommendation. I also had a surface and sadly mine was one of the thousands of pro4 with defective heating systems😔. I really am very unlucky with laptops😅. Now I'mma watch all your vids esp why you stopped using pro4
Really comprehensive review! And I like the way you compare those two laptops, since you focus mainly on practical factors instead of talking only about those testing numbers
I never write comments but WOW. Thank you so much for this in-depth video! I was having the most difficult time trying to choose between these 2 (both 11th gen i7). Thanks to you, I chose the premium and went XPS. You give off a vibe in your videos that feels as though us viewers know you personally. You truly deserve many more subscribers and I'm just 1 more added to your count. Thanks again!
@@Paatriick32 yeah does the job, throttles a bit but I'm able to run games at medium settings at 60 fps and I'm able to render graphics in after effects at a decent speed. so pretty good for me
Thank you so much on this perfect review, you cover everything I wanna know and i hope you will continue the hard work on the future. Don’t apologize for the long review ever again because this what we wanna see, a detailing video on the product that we gonna buy, so thank you again even tho I can’t thank you enough
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Best in class, properly researched, well delivered, awesome review. Kept it up bro. People are gonna look for you for things like this. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 You can be the only Hotspot man... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 You know what I'm talking about. For one of a kind detailed review & comparisons. Good work. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great idea! I was debating whether I should or not. I have a few other videos that I am working on right now, once I flush them out I can perhaps get the timestamps :)
This is an excellent review. You have made so many good points, especially about the hinge. I used an envy x360 once and had to return it because the hinge was unstable.
Thanks for your time on investigate on two laptop and share with your thoughts with evidence, another thanks for your effort to share your investigations with us + effort for video preparation... stay safe!
you can actually lower the screen resolution in windows display settings, thus significantly reducing the performance and battery taxes (and fan noise) associated with 4k when you dont need it for everyday tasks or gaming, then switch back to 4k for movies etc. so in my opinion, 4k screen will always be the winner.
@@JosephKim this is true, a lower pixel density screen will not consume as much, although i feel the pixel power saving difference would be negligible in real world use. But in contrast, lowering the resolution to 2k or less will significantly increase CPU performance on any given task, greatly reduce battery consumption, cpu loading, and run cooler and quieter. I wouldnt be surprised if you get a 2-3+ more hours of battery life. Also considering the flexibility of running a lower resolution and then able to upscale to 4k natively when the need arises (editing 4k design content for example), outweighs the power saving just from pixels alone. Options are a good thing, especially in this circumstance where you are not really having to sacrifice. It be cool if you could test it out for a day and report you findings. I'm in 2 minds which one to buy at the moment.
@@miliano8274 I do agree with your thoughts and have considered just lowering the resolution. But because I am so nitpicky (as you saw on the video), chaninging resolution for perticular task would require rearranging windows and setup I have inside the application. Therefore not ever changing resolution. At that point, I am not sure 4k is really needed in my case. Also, I don't really consume media or have a huge need in getting 4k in my workflow. If my screen is larger than 32 inch, I think I would like that resolution. But certainly not anything smaller.
I very much appreciate you taking the time to make this video. I financed mine via Dell business financing. I paid off last one inside 12 months to avoid interest and doing the same with my new XPS 13 2-n1. Coming from an XPS 15 9560. My previous machine has a couple motherboard issues due to heavy usage. Will fix later but cant have downtime as im on call 24/7 as a systems admin.
@@JosephKim My issues are related to very heavy daily use. I drive two external moniters and do a lot of virtualization and compiling source code near daily and even a little gaming. Aside from Dell's premium XPS line, there are very few other systems that could keep up while also having good battery life for on the go. Ive looked at many systems. To me, XPS line is worth its weight in gold. Lets put it this way: In 1.5 years I have typed so much i wore down my keys and had to replace my keyboard lol. Im looking foward to my 2-n-1 and will be learning to do a bit of design with vector based graphics as well. Being able to hand sign documents or annotate is something i am very much looking at adding into my workflow. Your video was very well detailed but hard to find. I subbed. Thanks again!
The proper HDMI on the Inspiron is enough to make my decision. I need to be able to regularly hook to my dell 4k monitor, so not having to mess with additional dingledongle adapters is a win.
Thank you very much, excellent description, very detailed. I had the doubt with which of those two laptops I should buy, and you have already clarified all the doubts, thank you very much.
I’m debating between the laptop versions of these , but with the i5 XPS with no graphics card. Tough one for me. Inspiron £200 cheaper. Better cpu and gpu. Dedicated graphics card. But XPS better build quality and better screen. Logic says inspiron but I love the XPS look. What did you think about the heat on them both, as I know the XPS is notorious for getting very hot.
I went with the XPS 2n1. I love Dell a lot, and had an old Inspiron in the past. No other Laptop I had lasted as long (Like my HP Pavilion which died in 6 months). I wanted the XPS since I wanted one I wouldn't have to worry about it degrading over time, and I wanted to step away from USB A since to me it's going out of date now. If I need it I can just use a hub anyways, plus Thunderbolt 3 charging is amazing. Glad you covered the Inspiron tho. Considered it as well but never saw many reviews of it
Quick update. I got it a week earlier! So far I love it. Keyboard is weird but only cause Ive been using a standard keyboard for a while, so I have to get used to it. Love this machine
Thank you soooo much... That was quite fantastic and clear. I have the previous 7000 series Inspiron and like it quite a bit. Only thing is the rubber tip pen and the quality of the screen writings are not the best, so I was considering upgrading to a MS Surface or similar Dell product with a better screen writing quality and pen.. Actually I like Dell much better than MS. The Surface is too expensive for me. So I was considering the XPS, but thanks to your video I now realize that the newer Inspiron does a much better job with the included pen and screen writing performance. I feel that the value of the Isnpiron works much better for me.. My pick ,then is the Inspiron. Thanks again!!!
It's worthwhile to watch your video, which Laptop you would recommend for professional 4K editing, Photoshop, DI (Color Grading) & little Motion Graphics.
@@JosephKim can you quickly guide me, i am looking to upgrade from inspiron 13 7000, i need both presentable/light weight and good performance, budget around 1000 usd ????? many thanks,
i've got a samsung pen for my tab. it's even thinner and that button sure does get on your nerves. But I think it's something you have to get used to when you use them. with the time you will change the way you hold it so it gets easier. And also a rubbish tip definitely feels nicer when writing.
This type of review and comparison should be the standard!!! This was the first time where I pretty much had my mind set on one (XPS) and just wanted data to back it up, but then have a reviewer make great points for the other side causing me reconsider. Only to THEN bring me back to the XPS. What an emotional roller-coaster :P
I want the XPS but it's double the cost in Spain if you choose the Ultra HD screen :( I want the best screen I can get, although I don't know if it's worth it. Did you buy one and how is it going?
@@JosephKim Noise really isn't an issue with either model for me, since I always have music playing via headphones/earbuds when I'm working, so I rarely hear the fans spinning up. The Inspiron can get a bit warm, if I push it to the limit, but so does my Surface Pro 7, which cost 3x as much. Computers generate heat, that's a fact of life, but it's nothing compared to the old days, when we could literally cook food on the CPU so I have no complaints. When any of my portables gets too toasty I just back off whatever I was doing for a bit and let it cool down some, no big deal.
Getting the newer model of the inspiron 7000 black edition in a few days. In my opinion, QHD 16:10 instead of the 4k 16:9 would have been the better solution to differentiate the Black Edition from the normal Inspiron 7000. That way it would've been a true upgrade instead of something that comes with both good and bad sides. Nonetheless, I took the Black edition because of the better pricing than XPS and the pen holder which is just incredibly useful.
@@swankyshivy there is a 13 inch version and a 15 inch version. If the color is black, it’s the one with the pen and the higher res display, there is no other options on the black models. So just look for a black Inspiron and you’ll find it
I have the Dell Inspiron 7391 4K with max specs and the Surface Pro X, both are cool but the dell is a mini powerhouse the surface is a game changer but not for everyone I would say. The surface slim pen works with dell because they both use the same Wacom tech for their dell pens they even pair and use cortona lol so I don’t have to spend the extra cash
Love your videos, would you recommend dell Inspiron 15inch 7000 over the hp spectra x360 I’m gonna be using it for mostly cad work and other mechanical engineering programs
Excellent review, thank you! Was about to get the XPS but saw the cheaper Inspiron and was wondering if it was worth saving the $. Love the "time to move on" regarding USB C charging I lol'ed. Do you recommend buying the premium pen for XPS?
A very informative and detailed video, Thank you Joseph. I have to ask what screen protector did you end up getting for the xps 13 and where from? Thanks again!
This is no brainer - even Microsoft copied it - pen slot so ingenious that I will buy Inspiron just for that ! Keep losing the pen or misplacing it. The pain is so real life that I will go with Inspiron over XPS
Hi Joseph! I know this was made a while ago so I'm not sure if you'd reply or not. I am trying to decide between a Lenovo Yoga 7i 16" (for the stats and features), possibly a Lenovo yoga 9i, or Dell XPS. I've owned a Lenovo Yoga c930 and I LOVE it. I'm now a student and wanted to see about getting a new laptop. I've considered getting a Lenovo again since I absolutely love my laptop now and I've never owned a Dell. This was such a helpful review, but would like to know your thoughts, and if you have ever used a Lenovo. Thank you!
I recently did test out one Lenovo. But was not a Yoga. (you can watch that video) if you liked Lenovo, I'd say stick with it as it will feel familiar to you :)
Curious, how do you like it now? I'm surprised you went for the XPS considering the trashy pen support in Bluebeam. Would be interested to hear if the same issue plagues Drawboard, Concepts, etc!
Not sure about the Concepts, but Drawboard supported it much better than Bluebeam did. But on Photoshop the pen is actually better in XPS. Interesting... I still love it!
should i keep the dell 17' inspiron 2in1 7706? I so into buyer remorse right now, I hate this part. I don't know if the increase cost is worth it for me? I need power, but I need a great keyboard for fast typing long manuscripts (via Scrivener). (16ram/512ssd) Also, 15-17 inch screen. Question: How long can you use in long tablet mode? Could I use in long tablet mode and use another keyboard. Use laptop as a monitor (long tablet mode)? This is interesting to me. What say you @josephkim? You are my only hope.
Are you saying that you bought one, and it doesn't meet your needs? I can't tell you about 7706 as I never had one. But 2in1 that's bigger than 13 inch feels way too big. I feel 13" is still a bit too big too. I don't understand what you mean about 'how long' I can use the device. Are you asking the battery life? Or comfort?
I am thinking to buy the Dell 7000 (7391) with a garaged pen, I have 2 questions, How good the pen, is it suitable for sketches and if I want to replace the pen, is there any pen fits in the same garage? thanks Joseph
Great review. But there is one question. Could the problem with the XPS pen result in the screen resolution? Did you try the curve thing on an XPS with a 4k screen? Thanks.
I bought one Dell silver 7306 2 in 1 one month and a half ago for a Christmas present. When we opened it we had a bad surprise. It is almost impossible to see the letters and symbols on the keyboard even though the maximum backlight is set. The light proceeding from the screen makes it impossible. It is very difficult to use it with this incomprehensible error in the design. Although Dell has acknowledged the issue, they have not solved it, due to the time elapsed from purchase to opening. Don't buy the silver model.
Is it overheating? Or is it just over cooling? I have noticed both depending on which cooling config I set. I think that is just the heat design of inspiron.

Mr. Kim earned my respect with this review...definitely worth a sub...looking forward to more videos like this one...
Thank you!
6 month check in. How's the XPS treating you? Do you feel like you made the right decision?
Yes!
currently own a 7391 but kinda regretting not getting 7390...which brought me to this video. and still kinda regretting
Lol, this video would not had help you for that. Sorry.
I’m debating between the laptop versions of these , but with the i5 XPS with no graphics card. Tough one for me. Inspiron £200 cheaper. Better cpu and gpu. Dedicated graphics card. But XPS better build quality and better screen. Logic says inspiron but I love the XPS look. What did you think about the heat on them both, as I know the XPS is notorious for getting very hot.
In terms of heat, XPS managed much better than Inspiron. Also the fans were constantly on on the Inspiron.
I went with the XPS 2n1. I love Dell a lot, and had an old Inspiron in the past. No other Laptop I had lasted as long (Like my HP Pavilion which died in 6 months). I wanted the XPS since I wanted one I wouldn't have to worry about it degrading over time, and I wanted to step away from USB A since to me it's going out of date now. If I need it I can just use a hub anyways, plus Thunderbolt 3 charging is amazing.
Glad you covered the Inspiron tho. Considered it as well but never saw many reviews of it
Thanks for the feedback! :)
Quick update. I got it a week earlier! So far I love it. Keyboard is weird but only cause Ive been using a standard keyboard for a while, so I have to get used to it. Love this machine
@@LaserXP101 nice!
@@LaserXP101 Did you get it with the Full HD screen or the better one? How do you like it?
@@laclochard I got FHD+, which is the standard. I don't really care for 4k since it drains the battery faster. Was really good still
you've convinced me to save a few bucks and get the Inspiron
Haha, okay!
Wow this is incredible review! Thank you so much for the information!
Thank you for watching!
Very thorough great review. The build of both devices is reviewed in detail as well as performance.
Thanks!
Thank you soooo much... That was quite fantastic and clear. I have the previous 7000 series Inspiron and like it quite a bit. Only thing is the rubber tip pen and the quality of the screen writings are not the best, so I was considering upgrading to a MS Surface or similar Dell product with a better screen writing quality and pen.. Actually I like Dell much better than MS. The Surface is too expensive for me. So I was considering the XPS, but thanks to your video I now realize that the newer Inspiron does a much better job with the included pen and screen writing performance. I feel that the value of the Isnpiron works much better for me.. My pick ,then is the Inspiron. Thanks again!!!
Thank you for watching my video!
I like your comparison review. It’s very detailed.
Thank you!
Hello!
I found your review very helpful and it changed my opinion . Keep going on....
Thanks!
It's worthwhile to watch your video, which Laptop you would recommend for professional 4K editing, Photoshop, DI (Color Grading) & little Motion Graphics.
I'd say to get laptop that has dedicated GPU, not these.
Finally!
A very honest full review of both.
Thank you! 👍
Thank you!
Really good and thorough review. Exactly the kind of things I wanted to know. Thanks!
My pleasure
Hello Joseph just found your channel thank you for the comparison. This video helped me a lot have a great day.
Thank you! You have a great day too.
amazing review. thank you. i wonder if the 2021 dell inspiron 7306 11th gen intel model is much improved.
hi i really like the way you present, and two thumbs of detailed timing mentioned in summary for each area
Thank you!
@@JosephKim can you quickly guide me, i am looking to upgrade from inspiron 13 7000, i need both presentable/light weight and good performance, budget around 1000 usd ????? many thanks,
@@aamiriqbal7373 you've got to compromise somewhere ;)
This was a great review, thank you - you've really helped me make a decision! I'm going to go with the XPS :)
I'm glad it helped!
i've got a samsung pen for my tab. it's even thinner and that button sure does get on your nerves. But I think it's something you have to get used to when you use them. with the time you will change the way you hold it so it gets easier.
And also a rubbish tip definitely feels nicer when writing.
Nice!
Awesome review Joseph. I had a feeling you would have gone for the XPS
Haha. Great intuition!
This type of review and comparison should be the standard!!! This was the first time where I pretty much had my mind set on one (XPS) and just wanted data to back it up, but then have a reviewer make great points for the other side causing me reconsider. Only to THEN bring me back to the XPS. What an emotional roller-coaster :P
Oh, man. I was in the rollercoaster too. Many times making this video. Lol
I want the XPS but it's double the cost in Spain if you choose the Ultra HD screen :( I want the best screen I can get, although I don't know if it's worth it. Did you buy one and how is it going?
The very very details about usb-c charging is very long but very very useful
Also the notes about sticking the pen aside is what i was looking for as well and no one note it
:) thank you
Can you please review Dell Inspiron 13inch 7000, 11th gen intel i7 laptop??
I'd love to! Unfortunately I don't have resources to review one yet.
@@JosephKim ohh no problem, I appreciate your hard work! Thanks👍🏻🙏🏻
Using both an Inspiron and XPS daily, I honestly don't notice that much of a practical difference between the two in real-world use.
Noise and heat? :)
@@JosephKim Noise really isn't an issue with either model for me, since I always have music playing via headphones/earbuds when I'm working, so I rarely hear the fans spinning up. The Inspiron can get a bit warm, if I push it to the limit, but so does my Surface Pro 7, which cost 3x as much. Computers generate heat, that's a fact of life, but it's nothing compared to the old days, when we could literally cook food on the CPU so I have no complaints. When any of my portables gets too toasty I just back off whatever I was doing for a bit and let it cool down some, no big deal.
@@looneyburgmusic thanks for the input!
Getting the newer model of the inspiron 7000 black edition in a few days. In my opinion, QHD 16:10 instead of the 4k 16:9 would have been the better solution to differentiate the Black Edition from the normal Inspiron 7000. That way it would've been a true upgrade instead of something that comes with both good and bad sides.
Nonetheless, I took the Black edition because of the better pricing than XPS and the pen holder which is just incredibly useful.
I agree with you! Enjoy your device!
good day. can u direct me to how i can get the same laptop as u? is it 15 inch? looking for qhd black edition as well
@@swankyshivy there is a 13 inch version and a 15 inch version. If the color is black, it’s the one with the pen and the higher res display, there is no other options on the black models. So just look for a black Inspiron and you’ll find it
I have the Dell Inspiron 7391 4K with max specs and the Surface Pro X, both are cool but the dell is a mini powerhouse the surface is a game changer but not for everyone I would say. The surface slim pen works with dell because they both use the same Wacom tech for their dell pens they even pair and use cortona lol so I don’t have to spend the extra cash
Nice and precise review, it helps a lot thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Great video, almost felt you preffered the XPS...
Well, I did!
Love your videos, would you recommend dell Inspiron 15inch 7000 over the hp spectra x360 I’m gonna be using it for mostly cad work and other mechanical engineering programs
I can't say for certain. I am sure both would be great. I think it comes down to the brand you prefer.
Excellent review, thank you! Was about to get the XPS but saw the cheaper Inspiron and was wondering if it was worth saving the $. Love the "time to move on" regarding USB C charging I lol'ed. Do you recommend buying the premium pen for XPS?
My primary reason to get these laptops were because of 2in1 capabilities. So I needed to get the pen for XPS.
A very informative and detailed video, Thank you Joseph. I have to ask what screen protector did you end up getting for the xps 13 and where from? Thanks again!
I am actually having trouble finding the one that I used. It was a matte screen protector.
found it! amzn.to/3xhxTS4
Really appreciate this 🙏 🙌. Thank you for this detail video.
and, Thanks for watching!
Great review and comparison thanks!!
Thank you!
I choose u!! cute,haha btw,I just bought 7391 2-in-1 ,I can't wait
It is a good machine. Enjoy!
Where can I get battery for Dell Vostro 3500 please.
Need help SOS.
Thank you .

@@johannasemackor6322 I have no idea. Sorry
Great comparison video - thanks
Glad you liked it!
Best review I've seen. Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you for your thorough research. Only minus: the background music was too loud - had a tough time concentrating on your voice.
Thanks for the feedback! I try to mask away the noise that kids make in the background :P
Bro, please next review laptop dell inspiron 5502
Love the review. So informative and really helpful
Thank you
I am also going from surface pro 4 to one of those dell options
Nice!
This is no brainer - even Microsoft copied it - pen slot so ingenious that I will buy Inspiron just for that ! Keep losing the pen or misplacing it. The pain is so real life that I will go with Inspiron over XPS
Yeah, it was really difficult letting go of the pen garage.
Joseph Kim just bought the Inspiron 7391 today.
Thanks for your long review.
Thanks for watching a long review :)
Best review I’ve ever seen
Thank you!
👍🏼THANK YOU SIR FOR BEEN VERY EXHAUSTIVE. YOU SAY EVERYTHING I REALY NEED VERY MUCH At THIS MOMENT🙏
Thank you!
When charging the Dell Inspiron with a 90W Charger, do you use a USBC to USBC cable or a USB to USBC cable?
Usbc to usbc
Hi Joseph! I know this was made a while ago so I'm not sure if you'd reply or not. I am trying to decide between a Lenovo Yoga 7i 16" (for the stats and features), possibly a Lenovo yoga 9i, or Dell XPS. I've owned a Lenovo Yoga c930 and I LOVE it. I'm now a student and wanted to see about getting a new laptop. I've considered getting a Lenovo again since I absolutely love my laptop now and I've never owned a Dell. This was such a helpful review, but would like to know your thoughts, and if you have ever used a Lenovo. Thank you!
I recently did test out one Lenovo. But was not a Yoga. (you can watch that video) if you liked Lenovo, I'd say stick with it as it will feel familiar to you :)
@@JosephKim thank you Joseph! And thank you for the in depth review, these are now things i’ll keep in mind when I look for my future laptops!
Nice review!
Thank you!
Hi Joseph, great review! do you know if both can connect to an external GPU thru the thunderbolt port? thanks a lot man!
Supposedly they can. But I have jot confirmed myself.
What a great informative video. Thanks!
Thanks!
I was trying to pick between the 7000 or the XPS 15 or 17. This was SO helpful. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching!
Curious, how do you like it now? I'm surprised you went for the XPS considering the trashy pen support in Bluebeam. Would be interested to hear if the same issue plagues Drawboard, Concepts, etc!
Not sure about the Concepts, but Drawboard supported it much better than Bluebeam did. But on Photoshop the pen is actually better in XPS. Interesting... I still love it!
I have heard that Inspiron 7391 has overheating issue. Have you experienced it???
It wasn't overheating, but fans were constantly on. Which is probably a sign the machine is running hotter than it should.
should i keep the dell 17' inspiron 2in1 7706? I so into buyer remorse right now, I hate this part. I don't know if the increase cost is worth it for me? I need power, but I need a great keyboard for fast typing long manuscripts (via Scrivener). (16ram/512ssd) Also, 15-17 inch screen.
Question: How long can you use in long tablet mode? Could I use in long tablet mode and use another keyboard. Use laptop as a monitor (long tablet mode)? This is interesting to me.
What say you @josephkim? You are my only hope.
Are you saying that you bought one, and it doesn't meet your needs? I can't tell you about 7706 as I never had one. But 2in1 that's bigger than 13 inch feels way too big. I feel 13" is still a bit too big too. I don't understand what you mean about 'how long' I can use the device. Are you asking the battery life? Or comfort?
@@JosephKim How long can you have the tablet vertical? Could I use it in tablet mode, (vertical) and have a good separate keyboard?
@@gisala5243 I don't understand what vertical tablet mode is.
I am thinking to buy the Dell 7000 (7391) with a garaged pen, I have 2 questions, How good the pen, is it suitable for sketches and if I want to replace the pen, is there any pen fits in the same garage? thanks Joseph
No, there isn't any other pen that fits in the garage. The shape and size is quite perticular. It seems quite good. I enjoyed writing and drawing.
Thanks for this review, very detailed :)
My pleasure!
Thank you very much!!
Oh, thank you for watching.
I believe it's because of the debugging that the 65w charger doesn't support on the inspiron
But 60w and 90w is okay :/. I think it is debugging as you say, but it shouldn't happen.
@@JosephKim yes that's true
Thanks for covering the charger protion i tried a phone charger on the laptop and it just did not respond
Yeah, you may need higher output.
Great review.
Thank you
Great review. But there is one question. Could the problem with the XPS pen result in the screen resolution? Did you try the curve thing on an XPS with a 4k screen? Thanks.
No, unfortunately. I didn't think 4K is worth the hype. What were you seeing?
Thanks for the amazing review.
Thank you, for watching!
I bought one Dell silver 7306 2 in 1 one month and a half ago for a Christmas present. When we opened it we had a bad surprise. It is almost impossible to see the letters and symbols on the keyboard even though the maximum backlight is set. The light proceeding from the screen makes it impossible. It is very difficult to use it with this incomprehensible error in the design. Although Dell has acknowledged the issue, they have not solved it, due to the time elapsed from purchase to opening. Don't buy the silver model.
Thanks for the feedback!
I just purchase Dell Inspiron 13. It's really get over heat. I don't why. It's new laptop. Should I return or what to do ?
Is it overheating? Or is it just over cooling? I have noticed both depending on which cooling config I set. I think that is just the heat design of inspiron.
@@JosephKim yes it's got overheating. Overheating make me stressed.
@@thebestvideosforever4971 Do you mean the fans keep ventilating? How is it going now withyour laptop? Thank you
How’s the battery life on the Inspiron
It was on par with XPS
