I think Dell XPS 13 9340 is the best Intel Core Ultra Laptop. Even though the battery is small in size the battery backup is amazing. I am easily getting 8 hours of battery life. I have FHD+ IPS LCD version
thanks for the video! I just purchased the lenovo thinkbook 13x gen 4. It just got released not too long ago and the price just dropped by 500. I got it with the 185h 32gb for about 1400. I think overall specs it matches the xps and then some.
Yeah, but you can first finish watching the video first so you know what features I am looking for. And for sure, if you're looking for cheaper options, I am sure there are many other options out there even besides the Asus. However, I prefer the design and performance of the new XPS.
screen door effect on the oled makes it an instsnt non-buy. so distracting when looking at any white content. tested it & hp spectre at best buy. both have the same issue.
Great review thank you so much🙏 I just bought the laptop as well, the speaker sounds very good when I play music but when I play a conversation the speaker crush a little bit do you have the same problem?
I didn't have such a problem. You might want to try update the firmware. You can find them here: www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/xps-13-9340-laptop/drivers If you still facing the issue I suggest you reach out to the customer service. Dell has the top tier customer service in the PC market so don't worry.
Great Video, I went for the MSI Prestige 13 AI with Ultra 7 155h and 32gb option with OLED display. Still finding that the performance is definitely lacking compared to AMD. However with Intel updating Drivers im sure it will be greatly improved in a few months.
The Dell XPS 13 Lineup has always been my favorite series of laptops period. I'm so glad that after 12 years we finally have one that can preform decent in modern games! Before I always had to use an eGPU, now I can finally say goodbye to that!
@@prashantn687 configuration is a Qualcomm snapdragon x elite with 16 GB ram and 512 GB SSD. Display is 1920x1200 non touch. I use it for a specialized open-source video editor called kdenlive and for playing Minecraft. It runs Minecraft excellently and I make sure to use arm64 java. It does not get hot much (usually the fans never turn on)
Thank you for this review. Very good and detailed. I have ordered this laptop and immediately plan to upgrade the SSD to a bigger capacity, Dell is selling Gen3 SSD for this laptop searately.. While Crucial has Gen4 SSDs that they just recommended for the 9340. Do you know if it makes sense to get the later faster SSD or will the 9340 only support the Gen3 ones? How fast is the SSD as supplied (512Gb)? Many thanks for any advice.
The machine uses gen 4 PCIe SSD in m.2 2280 form factor. It uses micron crucial SSD by default, which is slightly slower than the fastest Samsung Pro lineup.
Not with my laptop. I suggest you always run a cinabench (downloadable via Microsoft store) test to give it some heavy load so you can spot the problem early on and get it replaced/returned if possible.
how to customize the keyboard backlit settings in a way where i only want to top row which is a touch part to be lit all thetime and other keys only to light up when its getting pushed . Any Idea ?
@@SimplestUsername macbook air feels quite low res. You get used to 4k. Can make everything smaller. And especially pdfs with hand writing and scientific symbols it makes a big difference.
I'm seeking help regarding mine which I got today. There's no charging indicator showing battery status. Is it defective product or same for everyone else?
I mean when the laptop is turned off, lid down, there's no LED indicator to show charging status. Like white while charging, red while needed to be plugged and LED off while fully charged.
I think that yours battery life estimation is wrong, you completely ignored all the other system consuptions, like SSD, Mems and the main factor, the display consuption !
PC Mark 10's standardized battery test has shown the battery last between 14-15 hours. So his battery estimate, with all those apps running in the background, is consistent with the above result.
