Deal ends today, although knowing dell there will always be another one… Seems like a decent price for a premium 2 in 1.

I know the new Dell XPS laptops just came out with the new 11th gen Intel chips… not too much different though. Also available is a UHD4K screen although probably not worth it due to the effect on battery life and that the screen in only 13".

Main Specs:

Model: XPS 13 2-in-1 9310

Operating System: Windows 10 Home

Processor: 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-1165G7 Processor

RAM Size: 16GB 4267MHz LPDDR4x Memory Onboard

Graphics: Intel® Iris Xe Graphics

    Actually this is already the 11th Gen Intel and latest version of the XPS 13 2-in-1.
    The new models are the XPS 15 and 17 only, which were previously only 10th Gen and RTX 2000 series graphics.
    The XPS 13 was upgraded at the end of last year I think, and the reason for the delay in the XPS 15/17 being upgraded was because do to their form factor they use the high power chips not the ones designed for ultrabooks.

    • DonkyWonky on 04/07/2021 - 11:02

      Ah, thanks for the info. I did notice the new XPS 15/17 have the 11400 / 11800 and 11900 CPUS. Which have the higher core count.

      • lukethefish on 04/07/2021 - 12:19
        +1

        Yep and to go with it much hotter and more power hungry - which is why the XPS 13 sticks to the lower power processor.

    • chartparker on 04/07/2021 - 11:18

      The xps15/17 also share chassis with the precision models

    • johnttt on 04/07/2021 - 11:40

      the new i5 11400 and i7 11800 are literally double the performance of the previous of this one. I would wait for the new model tbh.

      • lukethefish on 04/07/2021 - 12:17

        Unlikely Dell will release a new XPS 13 until a new generation of Intel processors. This is already the "new model". As I explained the reason this processor performs less is because it is an ultrabook processor. Not many 13 inch laptops at all have the high power "H" processors like the XPS 15/17. Even when the 12th Gen Intel comes out is unlikely the XPS 13 will beat out the 11th Gen "H" processors.

      • fastnet on 04/07/2021 - 13:02

        The i7-1165G7 CPU on the XPS 13 runs at 15W and the i7-11800H on the new XPS 15 runs at 45W.
        the i7-11800H CPU is in a different power class and can't be used in 13" laptops.

    I’ve got the 4K version, my partner has the FHD version. Battery definitely better on the FHD and screen looks pretty identical considering it’s 13”.

    Excellent build quality and haven’t had any issues as of yet.

    • taki on 04/07/2021 - 13:30

      The optimal distance to watch (compare) 4K with FHD is reduced by ~1/2
      4K on 33cm (13") is not comfortable for text with older people.

          Why? Win10 autoscales so the icon and text size is the same on both FHD and 4k. The higher res makes everything more crisp

          • matt-ozb on 18/07/2021 - 11:48

            @1st-Amendment: I said using 4K at the 'native resolution' .. not a scaled resolution.

            Many people hate 1080p native resolution on a 13" screen (but I love it and it's not too small).

              I said using 4K at the 'native resolution' .. not a scaled resolution

              But since autoscale is the default option in Win10, you would have to go out of your way to enable something that you don't like? That makes no sense…

    I have the previous version with the Intel 10th gen processor. Great little machine. Only thing that annoys me is the placement of page up and page down on the 2-in-1 models (I use excel a lot). Ended up buying a 9510 OLED through this 20% off ebay deal.

      I was looking at getting a XPS 15 9510 for the OLED display but I'm going to give it a pass due to Dell's poor QC. The XPS 15 is infamous for it's wobbly trackpad.

      • fattymattyd on 04/07/2021 - 22:23

    • lukethefish on 04/07/2021 - 12:20

      You can adjust this somewhat in Dell Power manager, but it is not surprising really given the form factor and that Intel processors are inefficient. It would be better if there was an AMD option.

    • utmode on 04/07/2021 - 14:14

        Same here. I've purchased a couple of XPS's and a couple of big screens over the years for nearly half retail price. They look and work the same as new, the only catch is the limited warranty, but I've never needed it so far (touch wood)

    Soldered SSD

    • lukethefish on 04/07/2021 - 12:21

      and RAM, but that is common with the regular XPS 13. One way this does beat out the regular XPS 13 is on cooling as this has a vapour chamber so performs slightly better apparently.

      • happychappy1 on 04/07/2021 - 23:43
        +1

        Soldered SSD is especially bad, because it makes it much more expensive to get more storage if you need it. Also, if your any part of your board goes bad, you lose your data.

        • 1st-Amendment on 05/07/2021 - 09:56

          because it makes it much more expensive to get more storage if you need it.

          This is the same argument as the people who demand SD cards in their phones. For most people this isn't a concern, hence why manufacturers don't waste money on it.

          Also, if your any part of your board goes bad, you lose your data.

          Same applies for a faulty HDD/SSD which is why backups are a thing.

          • happychappy1 on 06/07/2021 - 01:53

            @1st-Amendment: The biggest problem is that most people don't do backups. Case in point is if you accidentally spill water on your laptop and it's not spill-resistant, so the board dies and it can't power up. If your SSD was removable, there is more than a good chance the drive is still working and data is recoverable. If the drive was soldered, then you're stuffed.

            SD cards in phones are good, but not nearly as useful as a removable SSD, which most PCs have. There is no good reason why it needs to be soldered. Whereas in a phone, you have a much smaller space and the internal storage of pretty much every phone is not removable and you have automatic backup systems that are much more common on a phone than is a computer.

            The other thing is that computers are much more expensive than most phones and should last longer, given the software is not generally locked (besides Apple).

            • 1st-Amendment on 06/07/2021 - 21:21

              @happychappy1:

              There is no good reason why it needs to be soldered.

              There is a simple reason, cost vs benefit. While you might find DIY upgrades useful, most people don't, and these companies know that.

      You do realise that there is more than just Intel CPUs in Windows based laptops? AMD makes the fastest CPUs at the moment and they are not matched in multi-threaded performance. They are much more competitive with the M1, despite Apple having the node advantage by using TSMC 5nm, vs 7nm for AMD. If you want to see a comparison against the M1 just use a reputable benchmark site such as Passmark, which has been around for decades and has a native macOs support.

      https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+7+5800U&i…

      There are also laptops such as the Lenovo S540, which could be obtained at approximately $1106 with very good specifications such as an 8 core AMD Ryzen CPU, 16GB RAM, QHD IPS screen, 512 SSD, aluminium chassis and up to 13hrs battery life.

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/625167?page=1#comment-1067…

      The other advantage with these laptops overall is that I'm not stuck to one operating system. I run Windows, BSD and Linux on mine, so I have access to multiple applications.

      • DonkyWonky on 05/07/2021 - 10:34

        Yeah, of course i realise that, I run a Ryzen 3900x on my main desktop. Mainstream laptop manufactures are only just starting to adopt AMD. Some still dont offer AMD (cough… DELL).

      I'm in the same boat. Been a Wintel guy my whole life but bought my daughter a Macbook Air and it is pretty hard to go past. It looks great, works perfectly, battery lasts all day, and for the price of a new XPS (my current machine) I can get a new MBA and a new iPhone which work seamlessly together.
      And it's not just the tech, MS and Google's approach to privacy is steering me way from wanting to use their products.

      Nobody knows really because official thunderbolt certification is a sticking point. It also seems like the general trend in laptop manufacturering is to only include AMD in select budget or mid-tier products to avoid annoying Intel, probably because AMD supply is limited so they are relying heavily on Intel for sales.

      • Raj09 on 04/07/2021 - 15:10

      Unfortunately Intel MDF has been helping Dell's bottom line for a long time. You will notice this with a few other manufacturers. In the mid 2000s Intel paid the likes of Dell up 1 billion not to buy AMD, which landed up in court. AMD at that time had the fastest CPU, like they do now.

      https://www.extremetech.com/computing/184323-intel-stuck-wit…

      Dell recently got caught crippling the Nvidia GPU VBIOS in the AMD based Alienware for no reason, whilst the Intel version had no restriction. Most likely to make the AMD version seem slower, despite being faster.

      https://www.notebookcheck.net/Alienware-m15-R5-laptops-being…

      It's only until recently have Asus, HP and Lenovo started using AMD in their high end products.

      Intel also charges fees and royalties for Thunderbolt 4. Which if you buy their chips is most likely waived. Only Thunderbolt 3 was changed to be without fees, due to lack of market penetration.

      If you can't afford this laptop outright, you shouldn't be purchasing such an expensive laptop in the first place. There are plenty of more affordable offerings that are equally/more performant that grace this page every day.

        purchasing with afterpay does not mean you cannot pay outright - paying minimum payments of $20 with Visa Mastercard Credit for the next 5 years is considered cannot pay outright. Splitting your payments into 4 with no fees or interest is not only smart, it's good planning, it frees up your money for other purposes.
        You need to be smart about buying things - that's the spirit of an ozbargainer.

      • paloverde88 on 04/07/2021 - 21:25

        Just think how many people buy a house outright? Even though it is considered a smart appreciating purchase we still pay hundreds and thousands of dollars of interest by the time we done and still everyone agrees it is a smart purchase. Laptop are depreciating purchase no point forking upfront payment when you can do it in a couple with no interest no fees - and that is way smarter than paying interest for 30 years

          Even though it is considered a smart appreciating purchase we still pay hundreds and thousands of dollars of interest by the time we done and still everyone agrees it is a smart purchase.

          What makes it smart is that even thought you pay interest, your capital gain is higher than the interest so you end up ahead.

          Laptop are depreciating purchase no point forking upfront payment when you can do it in a couple with no interest no fees - and that is way smarter than paying interest for 30 years

          Well it depends. Interest free payments can be a good use of cashflow, but nothing beats an appreciating asset. Property prices are up 50% in a lot of suburbs this year, which means those owners could buy a new laptop every year for the rest of their lives with just the gains made this year alone :)

      I have the UHD version and FHD version (wife's). Literally can't tell the screen apart given its so small. Where you can see is she gets twice the battery I do, so I wouldn't neccessarily say the UHD is worth it for most people.

    Have this exact model. Both rubber grips at the bottom have fallen off within a year (have a Lenovo which is twice as old without any of that wear).

    Also has a faulty Bluetooth to mouse connection which requires editing Regedit to make it work (regardless of mouse)

      Same here, Rubber grips on bottom fell off as well as video cam switch plastic has split all within first year.

      Fan sound when charging is very loud as well as USB-C falls to charge now

      Complete PoS all within the first year !

      Is this the issue with the mouse going to "sleep" and taking a second or two to resume again? If so, I'm having the same issue on my 9510. Can you link me to the instructions to fix it please?

    +1 returned an XPS13 purchased late last year, repeated issues with lack of sound straight out of the box, and screen (replaced), overheating/unresponsive (never resolved), fan whine (‘normal’), Bluetooth failure (never resolved). Admittedly I likely got a lemon but still it was the worst laptop I’ve owned.
    MacBook Air M1 is not perfect but craps all over the xps13.
