    These are good machines. Don't have one myself but did lots of research last month and ended up getting 9360 with 1080p screen, mostly due to reviews that said 4k display is beautiful but that and touchscreen takes up more power etc.

    Worth looking into for someone contemplating.

    • serpserpserp on 24/06/2019 - 11:23

      I'd also go the 1080p non touch screen if they had it. Want the bigger SSD and ram tho.

        Yep. I got the 9360 with 13.3 1080p non touch screen, 16gb and 512 SSD. $1799 on the 20% off last month or whenever. Absolutely blown away. Recommend.

                  @cartwheelz623: Cool thanks

                  just read this review, no mention of drives

                  https://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/dell-xps-13-9360

                  "Despite its keys' shallow, 1.22 millimeters of travel (1.5 to 2 mm is typical for a regular laptop), the XPS 13 offers a good typing experience"

                  "if you want a business and productivity laptop with a superior typing experience, consider Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon."

                  Still tempted though :)

            @dirkgonnadirk: My XPS 13 is 2 years and 2 months old (warranty just ran out) and I just got a dead pixel on my screen and my fan is about to die (easy to replace though).
            Not mad though its a great laptop, I had the xps 15 and 13 and got rid of the 15 to keep the 13.

            EDIT: I have the 4k screen and battery still goes well.

      • contact1881 on 24/06/2019 - 14:27

    • lostn on 24/06/2019 - 12:47

      That one's not coming till late this year. If it doesn't delay.

    • G Wok on 24/06/2019 - 13:24

      Yeah wondering this too - the new 2in1 has the 10th gen Ice Lake CPU, XPS 15 will get it too

      Any word on when the regular XPS 13's will get 10th gen?

      • lostn on 24/06/2019 - 20:09

        XPS 15 is getting 9750H which is very very incrementally better than 8750H.

        • G Wok on 24/06/2019 - 20:14

          Really? 10th gen promises more power…although no benchmarks available. Ok that's interesting…

          • lostn on 24/06/2019 - 20:18

            @G Wok: 9750H is not 10th gen. I don't know if there's going to be a second new XPS 15 release this year, but the latest one is not ice lake based.

            9750H is already an incremental upgrade, but thermal throttling inside this thin chassis that isn't good at dissipating heat means it does not perform appreciably better than the old gen and in some cases does worse. The review I watched said to wait for price drops on 8750H instead.

            Dell have not updated the chasis on XPS 15 for 4 years now, and it's showing its age. It already had thermal issues before and they're getting worse with newer gen chips.

            The design they use looks nice. It's just that it doesn't offer the best performance.

            • G Wok on 24/06/2019 - 20:22

              @lostn: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14506/dell-launches-xps-15-75…

              Yeah Ice Lake for XPS 15 & 13 2in1 was just announced, selling out of the US in July.

              Although I'm not sure if the thermal issues are still going to be similar

              • lostn on 24/06/2019 - 20:24

                @G Wok: From your article:

                The new Dell XPS 15 comes in the same anodized aluminum chassis with a carbon figer palmrest (featuring an 11 – 17 mm z-height) as its predecessors, but its internals were upgraded quite significantly. The new notebook is based on Intel’s 9th Gen Core processors and can be equipped with the eight-core Core i9-9980HK (up to 5 GHz, 16 MB cache) with which can be overclocked because of unlocked multiplier.

                10th gen is for the 13 2-in-1 not XPS 15.

                This table confirms it: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/14506/XPS-15_S_575px.jpg

                • G Wok on 24/06/2019 - 20:28

                  @lostn: Ah apologies, you're totally right somehow I connected the two. Thanks.

                  Very odd they would only upgrade the 13 2in1 but no other line to 10th. Perhaps next year then which is a long time to wait. Seems like a good jump in performance for Ice Lake.

  • Stefce on 24/06/2019 - 11:28

    Is the thunderbolt port on this model (9380) 4x lanes? IIRC the older generations were 2 lanes.

    • gezza90 on 24/06/2019 - 11:32
      -1

      Not sure what you mean by 4x Lanes but more info on the port here

      Description below:
      Dell XPS13 (9380) Thunderbolt 3 (USB Type-C) port with Power Delivery (Primary)
      Supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C, DisplayPort 1.2, Thunderbolt 3 and also enables you to connect to an external display using a display adapter. Provides data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps for USB 3.1 Gen 2 and up to 40 Gbps for Thunderbolt 3. Supports Power Delivery that enables two-way power supply between devices. Provides up to 5 V/3 A power output that enables faster charging

      Hope this answers your question.

        Lanes as in PCI-E lanes. More lanes = more bandwidth = better speeds for Thunderbolt devices.

        It's an especially important spec to know if you're intending to use it for high speed IO like external GPUs.

        https://www.dell.com/support/article/au/en/audhs1/qna44089/t…

        This support article unfortunately doesn't list all XPS models. Might need to check with Dell support before purchase.

        • workhappens on 24/06/2019 - 17:13

          I think I read somewhere that it is 4x lanes however these 4 are shared across the two ports, so if you have two devices plugged in then it will cut in half.

    • Hammo on 24/06/2019 - 14:37

      Yes, 4 lanes from the 9370 onwards. I'm currently enjoying reasonable eGPU performance on mine.

      Personally I wouldn't touch a 9360. 9380 also moves the webcam from the bottom to the top of the display panel -> less 'nostril cam'.

      • shrugies on 24/06/2019 - 21:06

        How are you getting around "dongle hell"?

        • Hammo on 25/06/2019 - 17:31

          What dongle hell?

          My USB stick has a slider and has old school USB on one end and USB-C on the other.

          I bought some cables from Amazon at the time I moved to USB-C, which cover everything I need. USB-C to USB-B (big old external drives), USB-C to Micro-B (modern external drives). I have one generic USB-C to USB-A adapter, which I never use. All were just a couple of dollars each.

          eGPU runs USB-C, monitors connect directly to the video card using HDMI and DP. Before I got the GPU, I connected my monitor through USB-C.

    • Danthemanz on 24/06/2019 - 15:25

      I believe so.
      Quad core chips now get the "full" 16 lanes to the CPU, havent seen any 2 lane versions since then.
      I can confirm the 15" current gen has 4 lanes and its sharing the same number with a GPU, so pretty safe!

      Anyway, dam good price for the spec.
      Trying hard not to buy it and sell my XPS 13 2in1.

    • gezza90 on 24/06/2019 - 11:58

      That was a good read thanks for sharing!
      Just wondering, what if the resolution was set to 1080p on the 4K screen when out and about. Surely it'd achieve similar battery life.

      • id on 24/06/2019 - 12:29

          +1

          I have this laptop.. Lowering res to 1080 from 4k does not achieve similar battery life as a native 1080p unit. Also depends what you are doing eg. watching video, rendering etc. then no the battery savings ain't great. Maybe browsing the internet you can find some saving as the gpu ain't working too hard. You will find more battery savings if you lessen the brightness of the screen.

        Battery was my main concern as well since I was considering the xps 15 too. I don't have any numbers but I am getting about 3 days on a full charge. I would say I have pushed it a little past average consumption. Great for a portable device.

        The screen wobbles every time you touch it. The hinge is not strong enough to keep it still. I don't think it's practical.

        • gezza90 on 25/06/2019 - 21:39

          It could be just me but I can't stand using any laptop trackpad. I'm a heavy user of excel, I mostly deal with large data sets, pivot tables and it's just so much easier to touch a cell rather than navigate to it. I also use touch for web browser scrolling, opening files/folders and preparing flyers for events (moving pictures around). I guess I'm just really against using a tracking 🤷🏻‍♂️. I do also use a mx master as daily driver but do still end up using the touch. Who knows I might regret it for this laptop when it arrives because of screen wobble.

    The ram is soldered but you can upgrade the SSD fairly easily. Dell does source the 4K panel from both AUO and sharp. The sharp one, SHP14AD are slightly better in terms of color gamut, max brightness,etc, however the one from AUO is PWM-free(flicker-free, dc-dimming, good on the eyes), and there is no way to tell what panel you are getting until you check from device manager.Last time I checked 3 unit in JBHIFI back-to-back and they are all from SHARP.

    I wonder if I'm the only one who read it as $215.92, wishful thinking I suppose

    Wow great price. I got the 2in1 version last week but with 3yr warranty and 1tb ssd. That I got for around $3100 so this is a great buy.

    Great machine. Typing this message on mine now.

    For comparison, I paid ~$1800 for the non-touch FHD equivalent (same spec otherwise). About a month ago.

    Hi,

    Apologies for possibly wrong question in the thread but I aint aware of exact place where this question should go.

    Can someone please comment on battery life of:

    Dell New Inspiron 15 3585 Laptop AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 8GB RAM 256GB SSD

    I am looking to buy this from long time but not sure about battery life. I am not going to use for gaming, just study purpose, general browsing, MS Office work etc so I am looking for laptop with stellar battery life. If not this what will you suggest?

    Cheers.

      AMD 2000 mobile chips generally have high idle power draw, so if you're after battery life, you're probably better getting an Intel chip. The average office laptop has 28% better battery life compared to that Inspiron according to notebookcheck: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-Inspiron-15-3585-L… . That Inspiron also doesn't have a replaceable battery, so when the battery life starts getting worse after you've used it for a while, you'll have no options.

      ThinkPad E490 has much better battery life (but still doesn't have a replaceable battery), and is around the same price. It actually has 28% better battery life than the average office laptop: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-E490-i5-8265U-… . If you want a replaceable battery, you could buy an older secondhand T series ThinkPad and get a new battery for it.

        Thank you very much BB. Appreciate your help

    4k on a 13.3" screen seems a little excessive.

    • gezza90 on 24/06/2019 - 19:17

      Yeah it is. I think even on the XPS15 it's overkill. Only good if you're connecting it to an external 4k screen… Otherwise there's little to no difference when compared to 1080p on 13.3" screen.

      • Hammo on 25/06/2019 - 17:33

        4K content looks mighty nice on the 13.3!
