DELL XPS 13 (2020) Review: Almost dissatisfied, as close as possible to perfection

Let's check out the full review of Gizmodo, the US, which has been a super -high reputation of the 2019 model review.Almost perfect


Almost perfect

This is a big incident, XPS 13 of the 2020 model.It's a big incident in a good way.In recent years, the 13 -inch XPS, a DELL flagship model, has continued to change and has been improved.Last year's 2019 model was almost a perfect terminal that was more difficult to find a rough search.

And this year, XPS 13 9300 is released.The easy -to -use vertical ratio of 16:10, the bigger touchpad & key, the thin bezel, and of course the performance are also improved.Even if you pinch in the corner of the heavy box, it will come out if there are three USB-C ports.Even if it is said that a microSD card reader is attached to it, it is okay to put it in.Maybe it's gone soon to update?On the contrary, it is a model that is worried.It's not 100 % perfect, I don't want to say it yet.But this is still the case, it's definitely the highest in the Ultrapotable industry today!

XPS 13 9300

What is this?: Dell flagship terminal.13 inch ultra portable lap top.

Price: $ 1,250 (about 136,000 yen) (review terminal is $ 1,750, about 190,000 yen).

Good: Sophisticated design, thin bezel, 16:10 display, bigger touchpad & key, basic capacity 256GB.

Unfortunately, there are only two USB-C ports, the backlight on the keyboard has unevenness, and the fans are noisy by full use.

Dell XPS 13(2020)レビュー:ほぼ不満なし、限りなく完璧に近い良端末

The USB-C port is reduced to two

The CPS 13 9300 is a little smaller than the previous model and a little heavier.However, at the same time, even if you compare the previous model and the new model, it is almost unknown.The edge is an alumite process, and it is a simple and sophisticated design that has a slightly shiny feeling, but does not make a strong claim as usual.

There is one USB-C port (Thunderbolt 3) on both sides.There is a slot with a headphone jack on the right and a microSD card on the left, which is a newly added specification in the 2020 model.Personally, I am very grateful that there is an SD card reader in the laptop, but in XPS 13, I think it would have been better to have another USB-C port that can be used for charging than a card reader.。The reason is that it is a terminal that emphasizes portability, so I think that there are few people who edit heavy images and videos.

Speaking of charging, it is wonderful that there are two types of plugs.One is a compact type, and the other is a slightly longer type of 3 feet (about 1m).However, in the video playback test of the editorial department, it was 9 hours and 59 minutes with a battery, so the user base that would be useful for XPS 13 may be able to use it without charging one day.The XPS 13 2019 model has a battery 9 hours and 26 minutes, so it is simply uploaded 30 minutes.Also, it is 3 hours longer than HS ENVY 13!

I'm glad that the display was 16: 9 to 16:10 in the previous model.If you look at the numbers alone, you may not be pinched, but this vertical difference is large when used in real life.13.Although the bezal around the 4 -inch screen is even thinner, there is a web camera (including infrared camera for face authentication).This is almost erased.The image quality of the web camera is enough, but it would be a little better.

DELL has been appealing to the Infinity Edge display that has been appealing in recent years, but until now there was a gap on the left and right, and the ideal and reality have been slightly different.However, it is a display of Infinity Edge on a display that is finally 7 % larger than the previous model.

This is the specifications

The review terminal is $ 1,750 (about 190,000 yen), the specifications are CPS Core i7-1065G7, RAM is 16GB, storage is 512GB m..2 NVMESSD.The touch display was 1,920x1,200 pixels (up to 429 nits), but here we consulted with the budget.

For example, you can get cheap with a non -touch full HD display, or upgrade with a 3,840x2,400 pixel ultra HD+display.I don't think the difference in image quality is so impactful that 13 inches is so impactful, so why not choose a touch display with a full HD?

If you pour the corner of the heavy box, paste it, and put it on, you will be worried about the backlight.

Although the terminal size is smaller than the previous model, the touchpad is 17 % larger, the key is slightly larger, and the satisfaction of hitting the key is higher.Apple has adopted a scissor keyboard on a new MacBook, but he is already satisfied with Dell's stable typing.However, the only one is the backlight of the keyboard.I feel like there is an unevenness?No, it's usually a small small thing that you don't usually list.In other words, XPS 13 has no negative points, so I dare to think about one thing.There is no future fun because there is no room for improvement.

Because it is a device that is almost dissatisfied, of course, the performance is excellent.Compared to rival terminals, various benchmark tests won on WebXPRT 2015 (browser performance), Handbrake (video editing), and Geekbench 4 (overall numbers).It is stable even if you use it with the maximum power.Fans are a little noisy.

summary

There is no option with a built -in privacy screen like Lonovo (Lenovo) or HP.However, XPS 13 is definitely the best terminal in the ultra portable laptop that you can buy now.Another USB-C port was more liable (persistent), and depending on the option, it will be quite high.Still, XPS 13 is a good performance and design.As expected, it is a flagship model that has been rubbed for many years.
