Dell XPS 13 9310 with Intel Core i5-1135G7 is an absolute steal for buyers in the UK right now at £999

[Redaktion]

The new Dell XPS 13 9310 with Tiger Lake i5-1135G7 is currently priced at £999 (US$1,388) on the company's UK site at the moment. This is an incredible price for the high-end laptop, and it also happens to be the same price tag as the even newer Dell XPS 13 9305 with the same Intel chip but worse display and smaller-capacity SSD.

I can't believe I'm typing this but an M1 Macbook Air is better value with those specs in the Dell. 8GB RAM in both, better screen in Macbook (2560x1600), better battery life, better performance, Dell has more storage. Price is similar.

Except it has M1 which can not run all apps. Why do ppl keep comparing laptops to Apple ones... no to mention it will not run windows.

NO laptop with 8 Gb RAM and retailing for > 1000€ is an absolute steal.

Who needs windows? I have been a windows power user for over 5 years, and when I switched to macOS, while I had to get to know all the shortcuts and how to use it correctly, I loved the optimization that apple has done. Not to mention that their ecosystem that apple has created is absolutely amazing. Plus, it can run all apps, since Rosetta 2 can emulate non-native apps with 70% performance, which is impressive. I am a music producer, and I downloaded FL Studio, which worked as if I was on an Intel Mac.

Laptops without dedicated buttons for touchpad or at least trackpoint/ThinkPad are craptops which don't exist for me. I am so happy Lenovo sticks to the tried and tested ThinkPad design and doesn't fool around with it every generation.

any opinions on the fujitsu UH-X compared to this dell?
It's currently about the same price. 16GB RAM, same intel CPU, 1TB SSD, full of ports and made in japan

Why is the screen so small?

What would a person buy this for, because the screen is too small for most applications?

A R5-4600H is significantly faster anyhow.

Different ecosystems, different uses. Some people can choose either, some can't. Some will have this decision made for them. End of story.

You've seriously never seen a ~13" laptop? Or have you doubted their usability for all these years?

Also, diagonal is 13.4", so just 1.5cm than 14" - which is the standard size for business laptops today. And thanks to 16:10 ratio, it's actually taller than 16:9 14" would be. Many people will find it more comfortable, with larger working space.

Battery life of this is circa 4-5h tops, so if that's your aim there are way better machines on a similar price range ( I own one, but you can also just search online for the many people reporting the same ) it's ok priced I wouldn't say it's a good deal.
