This was the first time I felt that the laptop was out of its element. I tried playing some games in this laptop.
The fans only turn on occasionally, and even so they are usually very quiet and low-pitched. The speakers are good and battery life is better than average (which is way better than my older laptop). Hence I use it for every computer task.įor web browsing, video watching and Microsoft office kind of work, this laptop is simply overkill. This caused me to have some regrets experiencing some games like Hollow Knight on my old laptop which had a very washed-out screen. Oh, and did I mention the screen? It was very bright, vibrant and had no Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) flickering except under 20% brightness. But yes, SSD transfer speeds and the speed of the ports and microSD card reader were also high-end. Not just that, the laptop simply flew, which I think was because of the SSD. It was the smallest 13.3-inch laptop… You get the idea. Yes, this is definitely a luxury good - I knew I could have gotten laptops with a better processor, RAM and storage for the price. The laptop just felt so premium and pristine, by which I mean the luxurious materials, solid construction, and breath-taking design. I still remember first opening the box and properly holding the laptop.
I was deciding between it and its bigger brother, the XPS 15, but the newer design of the XPS 13 and the much higher price of the XPS 15 sealed the deal for me.Īnd so, the Dell XPS 13 had been with me since then, and now, 2 years into my computer science course. At that time, I wanted to try a more high-end laptop, since I had bad experiences with my previous budget laptops. I got it 8 months before entering university, in which I was going to pursue computer science. This laptop sported the 2nd generation Infinity-Edge design, which was only superseded by the latest design launched last year. It’s pretty much the base model (if you ignore the Core i3 version with 4GB RAM).
I own the Dell XPS 13 9370, with a 1920 x 1080 13.3-inch Full HD Display, Intel Core i5-8250U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD.
