1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,080
this is the new xps 13 and somehow dell

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:11,440
has managed to cram six processing cores in it ladies and

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:18,080
gentlemen it was just two years ago that we were stoked on a six-core desktop

4
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:21,039
i mean if this is properly cooled

5
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:25,600
somehow we could easily be looking at the fastest ultrabook

6
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:31,599
ever but given that it managed to maintain the slim and sexy form factor

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:34,880
of the previous xps 13s that does seem

8
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:36,160
like a pretty big if

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,320
are you in the market for a hosting provider try pebble host they balance

10
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:45,840
price with performance with vps hosting starting at 275 a gig and game hosting

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:49,930
starting at one dollar per gig use code LTT at the link below and save 15

12
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:54,920
percent

13
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:06,240
so from the outside there isn't a whole lot that could tip you off that this xps

14
00:01:02,239 --> 00:01:09,200
13 is something truly special but that's

15
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:13,360
not a bad thing the xps 13 remains one of the most impressively built machines

16
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:17,920
on the market with its genuine carbon fiber and magnesium chassis giving it

17
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:22,080
the kind of rigidity that well you'd expect from

18
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:26,560
something made of carbon fiber but it still surprised us because to the eye

19
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:32,640
dell doesn't seem to have done a whole lot to make the xps 13 ready to handle

20
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:38,720
six cores that can boost up to a blistering 4.7 gigahertz and guys we've

21
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:45,520
seen this movie before with apple's 2018 macbook pro juiced up roided out CPU

22
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:50,159
same anemic cooling solution the good news is that we're not dealing with a

23
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:58,000
core i9 8950hk but Intel's core i7 10710u is no

24
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:01,119
pussycat either its rated TDP is just 15

25
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,920
watts but dell has opted to crank that

26
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:09,679
up to 25 watts and in our testing anyway it drew a lot more

27
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:16,879
than that for short periods at a time for example when starting an all core

28
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:19,120
render it reached darn near 60 watts

29
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:24,080
which unsurprisingly caused it to hit its thermal limit very quickly after

30
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:30,319
staying at around 40 watts for a surprisingly long time the xps 13 then

31
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,879
drops down to 25 and bounces between 1.8

32
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:36,640
and 2.5 gigahertz on all cores for the remainder of the render now all of this

33
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:41,440
is very impressive given that we would normally see worse clock speeds from a

34
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:47,440
quad core CPU in an ultrabook but in real world terms what does it all mean

35
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,920
for you basically if you want tasks like

36
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:55,599
video rendering photo editing compiling code or running simulations to happen

37
00:02:52,239 --> 00:02:58,000
fast the xps 13 is by a country mile the

38
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:02,720
fastest ultrabook we've ever seen to be clear you will get much better

39
00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:07,920
performance out of a 15 inch laptop like an xps 15 or a blade 15 but unless you

40
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:12,640
need that power very frequently the portability of the 13 is going to make

41
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:17,040
it a no-brainer for a lot of people it isn't perfect even during relatively

42
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:21,120
mundane tasks like installing an application the fans can get rather loud

43
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:25,840
compared to other less powerful ultrabooks but what's impressive about

44
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:32,000
the thermal management is the aerogel insulating gore material so even when

45
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:34,879
it's under very heavy load the palm and

46
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:39,440
keyboard areas of the xps 13 actually managed to stay relatively cool thanks

47
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:44,239
to this installation with just some of the upper keys heating up a bit after

48
00:03:41,599 --> 00:03:48,560
long renders or gaming sessions as for gaming performance well it's

49
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,879
actually not horrible anyway given that we're

50
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,920
working with integrated graphics but i certainly wouldn't recommend this

51
00:03:54,159 --> 00:04:00,400
machine if your primary form of entertainment is gaming now despite

52
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:05,599
being 10th gen this processor is actually 14 nanometer and doesn't have

53
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:11,360
Intel's improved iris graphics although it can play esports titles like rocket

54
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,120
league dota or cs go as for aaa games

55
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:18,320
forget about it possibly the best optimized modern example doom 2016

56
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:22,800
doesn't even manage to crack 30 FPS at 720p on the lowest settings so if you

57
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:27,360
want an ultrabook that can satisfy your gaming itch on the go the razer blade

58
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:31,360
stealth gtx remains the only worthwhile option as long as you don't mind its

59
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:36,400
dumb keyboard layout thankfully the xps 13 team by contrast

60
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:40,960
did a great job here keyboard strokes are somehow both soft and snappy giving

61
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:45,440
you a great feel for when the switches are actuating and as for the track pad

62
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:49,919
it's pretty darn good too even if it could use a couple more millimeters of

63
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:53,680
extra space to get full marks probably the only annoying interface

64
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:57,040
issue for us with the xps 13 is the screen options i know i'm gonna sound

65
00:04:55,280 --> 00:05:01,680
like a broken record here but the base version comes with a 1080p display which

66
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:05,919
would be fine if i didn't need to spend another 300

67
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,960
on the 4k one in order to get touch support

68
00:05:07,039 --> 00:05:14,080
now to be clear that one does look amazing but it's just unnecessary

69
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:18,720
at this size you need to be within a foot and a half of the display to even

70
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,680
notice the difference between 1080p and 4k

71
00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:26,919
bringing us to the single biggest problem that the xps 13 has

72
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:46,720
the existence of the dell xps 13

73
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:49,360
2n1 the laptop that has actually been my

74
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:53,759
daily driver since dell actually sponsored my unboxing of it so you guys

75
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:58,080
have asked me for my longer term impressions now that i'm no longer

76
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,880
obligated to say anything nice about it and the truth is i actually really like

77
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:08,160
this machine the two in one model has almost everything that i like about the

78
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:10,639
regular xps 13 incredible build quality

79
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:15,280
great screen decent i o as long as you're ready to live that

80
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:20,400
dongle life and although it is down a couple of cores it makes up for that for

81
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:26,160
me anyway in a number of key ways for starters it's got a slightly larger

82
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:28,000
trackpad and a 16x10 display both of

83
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:33,600
which improve usability more than you'd probably think i mean less lifting your

84
00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:37,039
finger up is always good and having just

85
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:39,759
that little extra bit of space for like

86
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:43,759
your your browser tabs uh it's great like like this one right here

87
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:47,520
ltdstore.com they got they got cool shirts there and stuff what's also great

88
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:53,600
about the two in one is that it comes standard with a full hd touch display so

89
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:59,440
there is a 4k option but you aren't forced into getting it if you want touch

90
00:06:56,479 --> 00:07:05,039
finally of course it's a convertible honestly speaking i use mine as a tablet

91
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,680
maybe once every 10 days but it is a

92
00:07:05,039 --> 00:07:12,720
nice to have also i feel a little out of character saying this but while 4 cores

93
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:16,479
was a massive improvement over 2 in ultrabooks

94
00:07:13,919 --> 00:07:21,759
i really doubt that most people looking for something thin and light like this

95
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:24,319
absolutely need six cores and besides

96
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:30,800
because of thermal and power constraints the six core xps 13 only ended up being

97
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:33,599
about 14 faster than our quad core xps

98
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,960
13 2 in one i mean what we said before is true

99
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:41,280
this will make your experience appreciably faster if you were say photo

100
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:46,639
editing or video editing but if your primary tasks are word excel and

101
00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:51,599
watching youtube videos where both machines by the way handled our 8k yule

102
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:54,560
log test just fine you are unlikely to notice the difference

103
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:59,360
where you might notice a difference though is in the keyboards the xps 13

104
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:02,720
has a more traditional feeling keyboard while the two and ones

105
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:07,520
the only way i can really describe them is as more crisp within a minute of

106
00:08:05,599 --> 00:08:11,360
typing on either of them i can get up to full speed comfortably something i was

107
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:15,680
never able to say about the macbook short throw keys and i think that

108
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:20,160
whether you prefer the 13 or the two in ones keyboard is just gonna be a matter

109
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:24,400
of taste i liked the two and one better alex slightly preferred the 13 but we

110
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:29,039
both agree that both of them are a plus material another strong area for both

111
00:08:26,479 --> 00:08:33,360
laptops was definitely battery life the two-in-one slightly beats out its less

112
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:37,360
flexible cousin but both of them easily achieved 9 hours of battery life and

113
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:41,120
could likely be pushed to 10 or more if you treat them really nicely one area

114
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:44,720
where dell took one step forward and one step back though was moving the webcam

115
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:48,480
from the bottom of the screen the camera is still

116
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:52,160
we expect that you're just gonna use your phone quality i mean look how much

117
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,000
better this one looks so it's not even a current gen phone at least it isn't

118
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:03,120
looking at my nose holes which is really good but in creating this super small camera

119
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:05,200
that fits into their slim infinity bezel

120
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:08,800
dell was forced to leave out Windows hello facial recognition a feature

121
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:12,720
that's on basically every other ultrabook that's worth its salt

122
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:16,720
now i can somewhat forgive this since the fingerprint reader which is built

123
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:21,680
into the power button is a pretty good solution but especially on this one if

124
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:27,120
i'm using it as a tablet that kind of puts the reader on the back

125
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:29,120
of the machine so face unlock would go a

126
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:33,200
long way here another area that these two laptops are compromised compared to

127
00:09:30,959 --> 00:09:38,640
their predecessor is an upgradability on the last xps 13 it was super easy to

128
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:43,200
replace the RAM just one screw in fact but now unfortunately the memory is

129
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:47,200
soldered on both models so make sure that you get enough from the get-go

130
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:51,760
the only saving grace here is that the storage is at least upgradable but even

131
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:55,120
then that is only on the 13 not on the two in one so which one to

132
00:09:53,920 --> 00:10:01,200
get comes down to your price point really if you're looking to spend less than thirteen hundred dollars

133
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:05,200
get a surface laptop three it's got an excellent touch screen which the xps

134
00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:09,440
doesn't at that price and it's a very solid performer so get subscribed so you

135
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:13,519
can see our full review of that at fourteen hundred dollars though man

136
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:18,480
these things aren't cheap but they get pretty compelling the xps two

137
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:24,720
in one becomes powerful enough to meet the specs for a recommendation there and

138
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,839
it is one incredibly complete and sexy

139
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:31,360
package then as for the xps 13 the only reason i

140
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:35,680
could really think that you'd want this over the two in one is if you really

141
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:40,560
want the power of those extra cores which also means that you'd probably

142
00:10:37,839 --> 00:10:44,600
want upgraded storage some more RAM the 4k touch display putting us at an eye

143
00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:50,959
watering 1750 us dollars up front

144
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:53,040
that is a lot of money but this is an

145
00:10:50,959 --> 00:10:56,880
awesome laptop and there's nothing else quite like it on the market

146
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:01,440
we've all got our everyday grooming routines from showering to brushing our

147
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:04,880
teeth to yes of course shaving but no matter what your routine is dollar shave

148
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,880
club has everything you need to help you look feel and even smell your best now

149
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,399
many of you have probably heard of dollar shave club but think that they

150
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:16,399
only stick to shaving products well don't let the name deceive you dollar

151
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:21,680
shave club has shower products oral care products hair products skin products

152
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:24,079
butt products and even obviously again

153
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:27,600
shaving products basically if you've got a body they have you covered not only do

154
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:31,440
they ship right to your house but the more you buy the more you save the shave

regular size products at regular price so head over to dollarshaveclub.com

159
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:52,920
Linus to try it out today so thanks again for watching

160
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,920
bye
