A few years back, Dell released a 2-in-1 version of its popular XPS 13 laptop. Unfortunately, it was powered by an hãng intel Y-series processor, which has fewer cores & less power nguồn than typical U-series. Combined with disappointing battery life, the máy vi tính didn"t fair too well.

Dell took the criticism well & wholly redesigned the XPS 13 2-in-1 (7390) for 2019 in conjunction with Intel"s Project Athena guidelines.

The result? The Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 (7390) is now one of the best convertibles and most beautiful laptops around, making it a solid option among the best 13-inch laptops. But the market has competition revealing a few holes in Dell"s game. After a few weeks with the XPS 13 2-in-1 (7390), here is what I think.

From $1,000 (opens in new tab)Bottom line: The all-new XPS 13 2-in-1 (9370) brings an amazing display & outstanding performance in a slim, slick design. Hãng intel 10th gene processors with Iris Plus graphics deliver performance, while the maglev keyboard is surprisingly fast. But Dell"s competition is ahead of them in certain areas where the XPS 13 2-in-1 begins to falter.

The new XPS 13 2-in-1 is a convertible Ultrabook that supports inking. However, it also veers away from most laptops in this class by being the first lớn include Intel"s 10th ren 10nm U-series chips. Also, this is the first convertible máy tính that features a taller 16:10 display versus the more traditional và wider 16:9.

Those new hãng intel processors range from a bộ vi xử lý core i3 up khổng lồ a chip core i7 with RAM going all the way up to 32GB while supporting a very fast 3,733 MHz clock-speed. Storage is performant PCIe NVMe that can go up to lớn 1TB.

Graphics range from the standard hãng sản xuất intel UHD variety up to the newest hãng intel Iris Plus, depending on processor choice. Iris Plus gives a modest performance boost và it is a return to the Iris platform which was skipped in the hãng intel 8th ren series.

That new 16:10 aspect ratio results in a taller 13.4-inch display. Dell wisely uses a new anti-glare technique, which lets the display still be glossy but with very low reflection. There are two display options: full HD (1920 x 1200) with HDR 400 tư vấn and UHD (3840 x 2400) (+ $294) also with HDR. Both tư vấn Dolby Vision.

Our tests for the full HD display for màu sắc gamut is notable. For sRGB, there is 100 percent coverage with AdobeRGB at 76 percent & DCI-P3 at 81 percent. Display brightness peaks at a maximum of 517 nits with a minimum brightness of 24 nits when setting at zero percent. These results make the XPS 13 2-in-1 ideal for image and đoạn phim editing at the non-professional studio level & give the ability khổng lồ work outside too. Dell Cinema also enhances the display for movie watching with HDR tư vấn for Netflix, VUDU, và the Microsoft Movies & TV app.

Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 is a premium Ultrabook that is ideal for commuters, students, và anyone who wants khổng lồ ink with a convertible design.

Chassis màu sắc options include just platinum silver for the outside shell, but a choice for soft-touch black carbon fiber, or the newer arctic white with woven glass fiber (+ $49) for the interior. The black option is softer khổng lồ the cảm biến but is prone khổng lồ picking up oil from your hands. The trắng woven glass fiber has a different texture but hides any smudges from your hand while looking significantly brighter.

The downside to the XPS 13 2-in-1"s kiến thiết is that all the hardware — RAM, storage, CPU — is soldered khổng lồ the board. This design negates any ability lớn replace or nâng cấp components yourself (the battery can be replaced by a certified Dell technician, however).

Ports are minimal but powerful. Dell includes two Thunderbolt 3 Type-C ports, both with nguồn delivery and DisplayPort (4 lanes of PCI Express gene 3). These ports can be used for data, display out, & recharge with the included 45-watt wall charger. There is also a micro SD reader. Due to the thinness, there is no Type-A port, however, so you will need a dongle lớn get by if using older peripherals. Dell does include a Type-C to Type-A converter in the box.

Weighing 2.9 pounds (1.32kg), the XPS 13 2-in-1 is not the lightest in its class & is quite dense for its size, but it is also very portable with a minimal footprint.

Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 (7390) keyboard, trackpad, camera, và audio

Like the XPS 15 2-in-1, Dell is using its new maglev keyboard. However, this is the second generation, which is quieter & has improved tactile feedback. Maglev uses a system of magnets for key actuation, making it ideal for keys with shallow travel due to lớn the thinness of the máy vi tính chassis.

The result is a keyboard that is clickier than traditional scissor-switch keys, but it also feels quite responsive. I think this keyboard thiết kế will be the most contentious part of this laptop, with some people liking it & others finding it terrible. While it is much better than Apple"s controversial (and breakage-prone) butterfly switches, it is still a tradeoff compared lớn every other laptop.

While I quite lượt thích the maglev design và feel, I must confess that it does require a few hours of typing lớn adjust. The shallow travel results in faster typing once you find your flow, which is a nice perk. For those trying it for the first time, all I can găng is giving it a few days khổng lồ get used to it.

Dell laptops have some of the best trackpads around, and this máy tính xách tay is no different. With a glass layer, Microsoft Precision drivers, satisfying click, & roomy size, I have nothing but praise for this trackpad.

Like the non-convertible XPS 13 (7390), Dell has been able to lớn keep its InfinityEdge display with micro bezels, but also keep the web camera on đứng top instead of below the screen. The camera is quite excellent in a well-lit room with a broad, non-distorted viewing angle. What is lacking, however, is any Windows Hello infrared (IR) camera for face recognition. Instead, you use the bộ combo fingerprint reader và power button to log in khổng lồ Windows 10. While it worked well, face recognition would have been preferable as an option or alternative.

Audio for Dell is usually tricky. Of all the laptop manufacturers, it has been the most resistant to adding top-firing speakers khổng lồ its laptops or even building quad-speaker solutions with discrete amplifiers. This trend continues with the XPS 13 2-in-1, which has two speakers on the bottom side edges.

However, the sound profile for the XPS 13 2-in-1 is excellent. Dell is now using larger dual 2-watt speakers, which are significantly louder than its previous laptops. Combined with the MaxxAudio Pro software, I was quite impressed with the sound quality. While it is still not as good as what HP và Microsoft are doing, it rarely disappointed when watching movies or Hulu.

Unfortunately, the Dell Premium Active Pen (PN579X) (opens in new tab) is not included with the laptop, adding a $100 charge if you want to ink on the go.

The PN579X is a new multi-protocol pen that supports bluetooth không dây 4.2, MPP 1.51 (Microsoft Pen Protocol), Wacom AES 1.0, & the latest Wacom AES 2.0 technology. Those features make it a good investment for those frequently jumping between a Surface or other Wacom PCs.

The XPS 13 2-in-1 uses Wacom AES 2.0, which some would argue is superior lớn Microsoft"s N-trig based system found on the Surface line. The PN579X supports 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, 240Hz report rate, and tilt support for this laptop, which are top-of-the-line features.

There are three buttons - two near the front for quick actions & erasing – and one on top for assigned activities in Windows 10.

The pen has a flat magnetic side letting it stick easily lớn the right-hand side of the XPS 13 2-in-1. Those magnets are powerful, but the pen is still likely khổng lồ get knocked off in a bag or just brushing the laptop with some force.

For power, the pen uses one AAAA battery (and is therefore not rechargeable), but it should last about one year with regular usage.
