Dell XPS 13 9370 (2018) - What's new?

2018-04-17
this is the new Dell XPS 13 9370 it's naturally the successor to last year's CES release the 93-60 which I did get to test although I did not review it and while those two laptops look very similar there are some differences so let's talk about those so what's new on the outside well they basically reused last year's overall design language however it has been refined a bit so you will notice it's a tiny bit shrunken it's thinner too the webcam has been moved to the middle of the bottom bezel which by the way is still not a good placement Dell and next to that webcam there is a face recognition sensor which is nice to see and the bezels have actually got an even thinner than before the 3200 by 1800 display option has been replaced with a 4k panel that is a bit brighter has better viewing angles and displays colors a bit better and lastly the last change on the outside the port selection has been modified so we went from a pair of full-size USB type-a ports with one USB type-c turnable three ports a full-size SD card reader and a headphone jack to a pair of USB type-c Thunderbolt 3 ports one USB type-c 3.1 port a micro SD card reader instead of the full-size SD card reader and we do get to keep the same headphone jack now this change does limit your options a bit when it comes to peripherals but Dell has been nice enough to at least supply it with a USB type-c to type a adapter out of the box which is something that Apple would never do however the real difference is on the inside and here we get the latest of Intel CPUs that being the eighth generation paired with your choice of surprisingly still ddr3 RAM up to 16 gig status your choice of SSD up to one terabyte of super-speedy m2 SSD and the battery has actually been shrunken from 61 hours to 52 and so with that battery change we do lose a few hours of use but it should still last an entire day which during my testing it has been able to do so that wasn't a whole lot right a few changes on the outside a new Intel CPU the same Ram and SSD options and actually a smaller battery yeah it doesn't sound like much but the new Intel CPU is amazing we're going from to physical and for a logical course to for physical course and eight logical ones that's that's double the core count this opens up a bunch of possibilities in terms of what you'll be able to do with this laptop that we've never before seen in such a small and portable machine you will be able to do photo editing and you will be able to do some basic video editing as well which I did try on the last generation model and that was just horrible with those two cores but now it works just fine so that's a huge improvement and so the only few compromises that I see with this new update are number one the battery life which has been slightly degraded number two the port selection and more specifically the removal of the very useful full-size SD card slot and lastly number three the price it is a bit more expensive so please do let me know what you think about this laptop in the comment section down below also feel free to let me know if you have any questions about this laptop also of course in the comment section down below and while you're at it also feel free to subscribe and like this video if you enjoyed it and if it helped you and with that said I guess I'll see you guys in the next video peace out
