Dell’s updated 13-inch has a great balance of price, features and design. Oh yeah, and they finally got rid of that webcam that looked up your nose.

![Infinix Note 4 review and unboxing [CAMERA, GAMING, BENCHMARKS]](https://img.youtube.com/vi/KBInS1t3sdM/0.jpg "Infinix Note 4 review and unboxing [CAMERA, GAMING, BENCHMARKS]")
….one thing missing, a matte black version. As a business man I dislike the white gold version, it would make me feel like a make up artist instead
Hey what’s the chrome theme you are using
ThinkPad is better. 🙂
I still love my Dell XPS 15 9560 from a few years ago… I7-7700HQ, GTX 1050, 16gb ram, 512gb SSD… It is a bit dated, but we’ve reached the point where new computers, while faster, aren’t faster enough to make a difference. I don’t edit videos or play anything more than light indie games, so it’s still perfect for me and I suspect it will be for years to come.
Xiaomi Mi Air…
This or hp envy 13?? Which will be a better buy overall??
Nice to finally see Dell caught up with Apple (grab popcorn)
So basically I am buying the design.
It’s running Microsoft is holding it back.
Huawei Matebook X Pro for the win!
What do you guys think? Is the new XPS 13 near the top of your list?
Spending over $1.8k (fully maxed)and wont even give a mx 150/250 gpu. Can get a better ultrabook with at least a mx 150 for about $1k.
idk why anyone would want i7 without dedicated graphics for so high price.
*Really !!!? This is not even close to being perfect laptop* …
Now that the webcam sits on top, it’s time for Dell to throw away that bottom bezel.
Always a well done informative review, have been watching you guys for about a decade now. Costco had a 13 inch HP Envy with all the bells and whistles i7, 512 SSD, 16gb of RAM, including a 4k screen on sale for about $1000.USD a couple of months ago, that one seemed hard to beat for the price.
Always trying to be like a Mac with build quality.
don’t buy this laptop. I just bought it and have to return it due to coil whine, it make a loudass buzz noise. Dell havent fix that issue yet.
dude plays like an advertisement for Dell…
I would nominate Thinkpad X1 Carbon
this guy talks like he’s chewing on a giant piece of meat…
feels like a saul goodman commercial :p
Stupid page up and page down key placement. Absolutely awful for a programmer.
I have last year’s version and it was a terrible disappointment. One thing after another broke, and Dell refused to give proper support or repair it under warranty. They also give less warranty than legally required. A few weeks back a chip on the motherboard broke and now it doesn’t recognize the charter anymore, so I’ll forever be at 6% battery.
Razer blade stealth 13 is far better design. Dell used aluminum but they still looks cheap plasticy. Razer blade is truly macbook pro alternative in 2019.
500gb should be the minimum storage on any computer nowadays, anything less is unacceptable.
I feel like he needs to say “Mmm khey” every end of his sentences.
All i can say if you want this laptop
is be careful from dell bloatware
I have XPS 15 and I don’t think i will buy from dell again
How’s the coil whine?
DELL has not designed any laptop that is ever near “perfect” in real life. There are always missing some convenient features in any model DELL makes.
4K is an overkill on a 13.3″ screen.
Bezels are way more important than a webcam
Keyboard is trash, why not have a lenovo thinkpad type keyboard, full size usb port, discrete ti graphics card and the biggest battery on 13.3 inch with no dell logo at the bottom of the screen would make this a complete laptop for both productivity and light gaming and front firing speakers.
how about 4k with non touch. lets get real, touch screen is useless
There is a touch 1080p config available
I disagree with the new placement of the webcam at the top. As you indicated the bezel is now wider than last year’s because of the new placement of the webcam at the top. I think one of the main selling points of the XPS is the super incredible thin bezel. Not worth the trade-off especially for those that hardley use the webcam. Just saying.
Cool iron man poster
