    I just got the XPS13 9310. It's pretty but gets extremely hot on the bottom. It also freezes and is difficult to unfreeze after I've used it for about an hour. It's a shame because otherwise it's nice. I wish it came with a sleeve like the 2 in 1 has. It also has just one thunderbolt port.
    When I look in the "events" it shows events from back in May which is 5 months ago and I'm wondering if someone else had this before me? I may send it back. The heat, and the freezing is so bad when I'm trying to get work done.

    Very nice overview of this device. I for one am shocked that we are nearing 2022 end heading in 2023 and we still have tablet competitors to the Surface being released without two things that EVERY device in this category needs. 1) A built in stand direclty deployable from the tablet itself 2) The pop up functionality on the keyboard folio. If you want a true laptop experience the flattened keyboard on the desk is never comfortable for any extened use. I don't understand why we get these gorgeous machines coming out from Dell (etc) without these two additions. You can keep the folio keyboard thing you want, but at least include a built in stand within the tablet body. Even if you pull the tablet off occasionally and carry it with you in the kitchen or wherever - you now have no way to stand it up in any useable way without lugging the keyboard folio with you. I personally detcach my Surface Pro often and just use it as a media device with the built in stand. Just my $.02 here! Cheers

    I am glad to see this review. I just got a Surface Pro 8 but considered this or waiting for the SP9. I didn't like the lack of a kickstand on the Dell. The surface stand goes almost 180 and makes the surface more versatile when you aren't at a table. Curious about battery life though.

    Ah, the ole-kickstand-trick! Yeppers, without the kickstand this Dell is now off my radar. There are occasions when my tablet will be located where space is quite limited. There, its keyboard cover will take up too much room or not at all fit in the desired location. Also, because of wrist issues, its non-sloping keyboard makes it a deal breaker as well. Thus, the Surface kickstand and keyboard will be extremely useful; okay returning to the Surface Pro line.

    What was Dell thinking with the standing out camera on the back? Am I right that you can't lay it flat on a table for drawing? If the folio would be a back and a keyboard part and so backcover would flatten that out ok but you can't seperate the folio right? Come on Dell. That's a great device but the folio is garbage. I have a Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 and this three year old device has a kickstand and a good folio. Just give me the Latitude-line fanless with 12th Gen CPU (and maybe for the XPS pricepoint. The actual latitude is nearly double as pricy as the XPS).

      Because the Dell XPS 2-in-1 laptop doesn't sell well but the Surface Pro does. A lot of OEMs are ditching their 2-in-1 laptops for these hybrid tablet/laptops as their 2-in-1 device.

    I bought the I7 version only because I had dell rewards money to spend. Luckily, I only payed 800 bucks out of pocket. I wouldn't have payed full price for it. At the end of the day, it's actually a slightly above average laptop, but if I had a choice, I probably would have waited for the SP9. Unfortunately, it's been a while since Dell has made a good laptop that would wow me.

  • @bradavon

    Would love to know why EVERY OEM that copies the Surface Pro goes for a folio design instead of a kickstand. It's inheritantly worse. Suspect it comes down to cost. That crappy case will cost a lot less than engineering a hinge.

    • @MashITTech

  • @raylopez99
    @raylopez99 ปีที่แล้ว

    Too expensive for the weak performance that's throttled. But I finally figured out the target audience: my partner. She likes to do TH-cam viewing, some emails, a bit of word processing, some viewing of photos, a video conference once in a while, and she likes to look good with something sleek and modern. So every few years she changes her notebook for something more new (and her smartphone too). That's the target audience.

  • @Randymanrockssocks
    @Randymanrockssocks ปีที่แล้ว

    Yeaaaaaaaa, looks like a nice premium device, but honestly the surface pro is just so much more polished with it's quality of life features like the kickstand, the tilted keyboard, the hideaway stylus, and the rounds bits

  • @Terreos
    @Terreos ปีที่แล้ว

    Hmm. . .Yeah a passively cooled device is nice for being quiet, but that performance is an absolute deal breaker considering the Surface Pro 9 is right around the corner. Plus for a little bit more you could get and Asus Z13 with a much more powerful cpu and an Nvidia 3050/3050ti. And that keyboard is all kinds of wrong. I had the first gen surface pro and I got a case for it that covered the kickstand and tried using the same folding back idea as a kick stand. It was incredibly wobbly and no where near as versatile as the kickstand. A little disappointing in my eyes, but I'm glad there are alternatives.

    • @MashITTech
      @MashITTech  ปีที่แล้ว

    It's kinda sad there is no flip-around keyboard like it used to.
    This stand feels like a half-ass solution that would annoy the fuck out of me, if I was using it on a daily basis.
    On the other hand, I will never understand why the old 2-in-1 used to have a different keyboard layout from the regular XPS 13 (Page up, page down right above left and right arrow keys). If it wasn't for this stupid layout, I would've probably gotten it over the regular XPS, so I would be able to flip it around and use my custom keyboard.
    Other than that, it looks pretty nice. Would be nice for coding, if I wasn't so lazy. HAHA

    IMO, I think Dell should have kept the XPS 13 a thin clamshell ultrabook. From what I see here, it's basically a disappointing Surface Pro knock off with far too many compromises to be able to compete with Microsoft's original. In this arena, the Microsoft Surface Pro is still the king. Nothing else comes close. Where the clamshell ultrabook design was the standard by which all others were compared, this version is just an also-ran to Microsoft's. Surface Pro line.

  • @GT-qv1gl

    The only point of the Surface or any other tablet-laptops is the pen. If the pen is trash the whole device is pointless. At that point a regular laptop + an iPad/Tab S is cheaper and more value. SP8 just barely became viable for art projects.

    Don't buy a device with a kickstand and one of these detachable floppy keyboards. I have an acer switch alpha 12. i bought a couple of years ago and it's a nuisance messing with the kickstand and keyboard. Better to buy a 2-in-1 with a stiff hinge. so much more flexible and usable. E.g. if you need to try type with it sitting on your knee, the kickstand can't go back further than your knee...meaning the keyboard if right up close to your stomach...a real nuisance. With a rigid hinge 2-in-1 you can move the keyboard away from you a bit more and type more comfortably. Just my two cents.

  • @BriefNerdOriginal
    @BriefNerdOriginal ปีที่แล้ว
