As an XPS 15 owner and an IT pro who has worked with Dell for over 15 years and gave them a chance by rolling them out to my company over Lenovo I can say with extreme confidence that Dell is by far the most unreliable major computer manufacturer I've ever dealt with. At least two out of 10 laptops needed to be sent in for repairs in less than 3 months of use (a lot of display issues, keyboard issues and so many Wi-Fi issues). Then we have the mainboard issues that seem to happen around the 4-6-month mark. We've had some of these issues as soon as we took it out the box and powered it up. Dell’s QC is complete garbage. My CEO said to never, ever, ever buy Dells again. We rolled out over 400 Dell laptops and 100% regret it.

I can confirm. I have gone through 4 generations of Dell XPS laptops. They are great on paper. Perfect specs, sleek looks, got all the bells and whistles. But the technical issues and glitches are endless. These laptops do not even work properly with DELL peripherals (USB-C hub, monitors etc.). The firmware is garbage. The last laptop I bought went through 2 replacements and that is after 2 onsite visits and troubleshooting by dell technicians. I am definitely not gonna buy a dell xps anytime soon. Then again, I don't what else to buy. Ideally, I would like an Apple macbook (for hardware quality and battery life) running my OS of choice. In contrast to all that, I have a Dell desktop Optiplex 9020 from 2013 which works flawlessly even today in 2022. Running the latest update of Windows 10. No lags, no stutters and I use it for gaming, image editing etc... it all works perfectly. So maybe it's just the laptops that are crap?

Dell used the capacitive buttons for volume and so on since 2007. They were always pretty innovative and sturdy, design wise .

I could live with it - there are adapters, usb-c headphones and more importantly BT, but the capacitive Escape and Backspace are definitive dealbreakers.

0:56 Actually, it looks more like the capacitive buttons that HP used to use on their Pavilion laptops years ago, and unfortunately, they have the same inconsistencies those did. I find that if I want to repeatedly tap the volume "button" to increase or decrease, it drops inputs which can be a little frustrating. I notice the same issue with the escape key when I try to do combinations like opening Task Manager. It's a nice idea in concept, but I won't be deploying these to the rest of the staff for that reason as well as the fact that it has no headphone jack.

I was in constant awe with my jaw dropped just looking at this beauty. wow.

Surprised you were very positive about the capacitive everything. Thought for sure it was gonna be form over function here from Dell but looks like they’ve done this right. And double the performance from last year without affecting battery life is incredible. I’ve been using a MacBook Air last few years but might switch back to Windows with this one, it’s very tempting.

Great review as usual! As an XPS user, it's a must for me that they keep the headphone jack. Hopefully they bring it back.

Thank you for this excellent review. Did the laptop keyboard deck really crack (at the 2:43 mark) while in your possession? Or was that some video magic by you to superimpose a different device's cracked screen onto the Dell XPS 13 Plus keyboard deck to show what a crack COULD look like? Thermals look fantastic for a change. Thank you again for your hard work.

Longterm XPS 9300 user here. Pretty much resolved all of the issues in this iteration. Headphone jack had driver problems, track pad wasn't the best, thermals are pretty weak and fiberglass shell was chipping. Plus will be pretty bulletproof.

Damn! Both of the colors and overall design looks aesthetically pleasing 😍

Still recommend it?

Until I recently switched to Lenovo (T15G Gen 2), I used an XPS 15 9550 (2016) every day. I replaced the battery twice, each time the trackpad would extrude from the base plate. The last battery replacement lasted a year before the battery swelled up, now I run it as a second machine with no battery just off the mains. For the first couple of years it bluescreened a lot, but these issues were ironed out eventually. Dell use that "rubber"-like coating on this generation (and even the latest generation) XPS. This rubber coating will wear around the ports pretty quickly and eventually it will make the laptop look like shit. Every year I had to disassemble the laptop to remove dust and re-thermal paste the GPU/CPU heatsink. I managed to get more performance out of it by undervolting it, but this feature isn't available on newer generation intel CPU's. You also can't run the XTU software on Windows 11 with this laptop because it isn't officially supported by Microsoft (no TPM 2.0). The "Killer" wireless card is an absolute joke, cuts out all the time. The XPS is the only device so suffer from this, phone, PC, other laptop, mac mini, raspberry pi - all fine. Even though it was undervolted and cleaned thoroughly it would still thermal throttle most of the time. The 4K screen is beautiful, keyboard is not bad (but I prefer Lenovo's). The touchscreen still works perfectly but the gloss screen is a fingerprint magnet. I never spilt liquid on it but the keyboard has needed replacing after 3 years, I never got around to it as I use an external keyboard - around 25% of the keys don't work on first press. It has been well looked after but I probably will never buy an ultrabook again, I prefer a "desktop replacement", and I'm okay with the extra bulk of a workstation.

Lovely review man, it does look super sleek

this device looks amazing, i wish i can buy that :p, btw great review like always Dave

I absolutely love this design, and the performance / battery life, it just looks amazing and ill surely consider it if im in the market for a windows laptop, the lack of the headphone jack really isn’t an issue for me, since I just use AirPods because they can connect with multiple devices, so I don’t need to deal with cables. I would use wired headphones on a desktop but not on a laptop, the thing that annoys me is that function strip, its just a Mac Touch Bar with all the cool features stripped out of it. (pun intended) The Touch Bar was rough on macOS even with apple’s control over it, now, dell doesn’t have the same control over windows, so I don’t think they can do the adapting buttons depending on the app like Macs do, aaaaand I think the XPS Touch Bar looks kinda ugly, other than that, it looks like an amazing laptop.

@@recursion. I have sony 1000xm4 and still prefer to use my good old wired headphone. Higher audio quality, no need to worry about batteries and connection status.

This looks like a great product. Interesting choice with the function keys. It looks a lot like the Touch Bar and Apple just got rid of that. So i wonder how people will like this style of keys. Also the touchpad looks really cool.

This Dell is gorgeous, pure minimalism above all else 👌🏼

The windows laptop I have been waiting for. Can’t wait to get my hands on this. Finally a windows laptop that can compete the MacBooks in terms of aesthetics that comes with competitive performance.

The review didn’t call it out well, but this XPS 13 is only faster than the 2020 MacBooks that had a base M1 chip. The newer MacBooks with M1 Pro or Max would be twice as faster (or more in some cases). But I think it was still a fair comparison because of the form factor here.

This is an exciting product. Looks like Dell is really bringing up the engineering skills to compete.

This is a really good looking laptop! First time I actually said a laptop that is actually almost comparably or just as nice as a MacBook!

KZread knows me. I was looking for those king of info since 3 days !!!!

Is there still any focus on the repairability like there has been on other XPS laptops in the past?

I was skeptical when they announced this, but after watching the reviews, I think Dell did great! I'll be sticking with my previous gen XPS 13 though

Agreed, although once you start paying around 2k dollars I think the XPS 13 is the better deal just based on specs. Its weird af to see apple actually being one of the best budget laptops.

Excellent review 👍

This is the first that I heard of the new chipset. I'm so excited for the competition with the M1 MacBooks!

Dave2D is hands down the best laptop reviewer on KZread 🙌

Looks really awesome. Love the wallpaper. Can you share a link?

this year are gonna absolutely crush this thing, but that it expected I guess.

WHAT A HEAVENLY GORGEOUS PIECE THIS IS

@6:02 "there is no headphone jack though" me : Alright, bye.

Holycow, I never imagined a day where a Windows laptop would seriously compete with my M1 Macbook. This XPS has almost double the CPU performance, a touch OLED screen and over 10 hours of battery life. And the design is sick, I still can't believe this is the actual final product not some CES futuristic concept.

Most high end Intel machines beat a MacBook on multicore, notice he didn't show single core benchmarks? Also the MacBook will do it with almost no heat or fan noise. He never mentions heat or fan noise in this review. Also MacBooks have real function keys. (Edit: sorry yes, rewatched he does mention fan noise, still doesn't compare to a MPB which has almost none.)

I had an HP Pavillion DV2 back in the day, this touchbar reminds me of exactly that.

Good Review on a great product 👍 But i couldn't stop watching aquarium fish tank back there😍😍😍😍

Omg. I love that clean aesthetic. If they released 15" or 17", it would be a great upgrade for my 9560.

It's great that some Windows laptop is going for a more creative, modern design. Despite that some of the choices are questionable.

The GA2100 on your wrist is looking clean!!!!

When I thought nothing could amaze me anymore about laptops, this XPS comes out 😳

it's interesting to me that they removed the physical function keys, not to mention the headphone jack. Super clean design which is awesome to see but I feel like a laptop especially a smaller one like the 13" should have a headphone jack since it's geared towards media consumption

Of course the xps line of laptops is already geared toward people on the go so whatever butters your croissant I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’d rather have a thicker laptop with less compromises on ergonomics. They could just get the extra 2mm space for thermal solution by making the laptop 2mm thicker and it won’t be noticeable by most users on daily usage.

look at the thinkpad x13 G2, i'm using that as my main PC and it does what it says. Sure, the screen is average at best, but the ports, performance (AMD 5000 series rock), reliability (sticking to what works) and still being under 3lbs makes it a great option for serious users (heck it can even run gtaV 55fps).

what a beauty never seen a beautiful laptop like this one wow 🙃

Damn... looks like i found my new daily dedicated Linux machine. Love this. I own a macbook air but nothing beats a machine with Linux installed on the metal.

Wow! Dell sure hired some great product designers.

It's a gorgeous laptop. I'm seriously considering it but I can't make a choice between the white and grey

I’m a XPS 13 fan! Have the 9370 from 2018. Although had a lot of trouble with it. And now the Bluetooth just doesn’t work anymore, at least not for wireless headphones. It’s a windows thing apparently. Battery was excellent in the beginning but I had to swap the battery 2 years in. Constantly heating issues, than after a windows update the fans ran much louder, draining battery. Eventually the fans had to be replaced, that was last year and Bluetooth did work then it didn’t, Dell driver update made it work again then next windows update killed it and on and on. In comparison I still have a MacBook Pro 13 from 2011. Still works, can watch Dave2d on it. Had to swap the battery 4 years in. And never issues with Bluetooth. Now it’s obviously slow, 11 years in. But I don’t think the XPS 13 will make it till 6 years. So I’m quite interested in a new XPS 13, and it looks great. But having the experiences I’ve had it’s a bad deal. CPU temps run up to 100 degrees Celsius, and I do use my laptops regularly on my lap. I will get burned. Now I do bought the MacBook Pro 16 inch 2021 model. I don’t need the power, it so need the screen, and it’s silent, it doesn’t get hot, and battery last a whole trip from Europe to Bali where I live. I pack my charger in my checked luggage. And the Bluetooth just works. Recently apple announced the new MacBook Air m2. If I have to travel light, I know what I’m gonna get. As long there is a intel chip inside it will cause issues on the hardware. I had to buy the XPS due to work and because the MacBook at the time were rubbish. These days it’s great, and it’s getting better with the new MacBook Air. No performance loss, no thermal issues, battery runs long. It’s compact. This will be the new laptop to get if you travel and want to travel light.

I can't believe they don't use this keyboard design on all their products.
