i bought one, with the i7 but only FHD version.

My review :-

-The sound speaker are ok.. but not the best

-Battery was superb, with 60 whr, 50% brightness, I got 9-10 hrs battery life easily, maybe

-the performance are superb for kabylake i7

-i upgraded to 1tb intel 600p ssd, so its massive for storage

-8gb ram is more than enough to handle autocad, office works

-the heat review is true, but nothing to worry about

-extremely light on a 13 inch size

i switched from xps 15 to this one...for productivity, its a top notch, forget Macbook pro or any other ultra book

GET THIS ONE INSTEAD !!!!!

hey.. i've been thinking should i consider macbook pro or this xps 13..

the speaker on macbook is better. ( i think , judging from demo machine. )

unfortunately - i cannot find any xps 13 for comparison

Well, i never use macbook before so I dont know. Probably depends on your profession/ preference
I use my XPS a lot for engineering stuff, attend meetings, most of the time on office and outlook.
Need to be connected also to company server for files. Printing etc and the lists go on.

Though Macbook pro might be able to do the same. still its a learning curve for me, plus, a hefty price for bigger storage,
that what bugged me a lot.

So my XPS I changed my ssd to 1 TB and extend the warranty for 2 more year. That will be my plan on using this.

Still there might be new CPU coming next year or so, but the performance aren't noticeable.

Macbook, ios and apple brand, they will give you a premium feeling at a premium price, no doubt.

If the user experience is taking the weight here, go for Macbook Pro, weighing the punch to get the jobs done by any mean, Windows is the solution.

Or, why not both, that will solve the OCD tongue.gif

Choose the system you are comfortable with. After all it's OSX and Windows 10.

If you plan to run Windows on MBP, better get the Dell XPS smile.gif

You can run original windows 10 on macbok pro, its called Parallel. Quite famous and very advance I assumed.

I used both Mac and Windows..

My point is if the user want to run Windows OS, run a laptop that run Windows, Windows on Mac will not perform well as a Windows on XPS 13.

Parallel and VMWare are both VM emulator. It doesn't perform well on top of a virtual machine.

Running Windows on bootcamp will not give you the optimal performance on Mac as well.

To me Macbook Pro or XPS, it's user OS preference, if you are OSX user, you will like what OSX can do, it apply the same to Windows users too  biggrin.gif

o,good to know on the VM performance...

I am planning to buy the XPS13 Kaby Lake (7th generation Intel i7) and upgrade the storage with my personal 1TB SSD... Just curious if that would void your warranty?

Nope, changing the storage wont void the warranty at all

Did you get your unit from Dell Malaysia website?
Did you get your unit from Dell Malaysia website? How much was it? Did you like your touch screen?

I just bought it from Lowyat. Roughly around RM 55xx. Its a FHD, I7, 256Gb. I don't like touch screen as since I will never use it. The touchpad is excellent enough except if if you're using Chrome, 2 finger scroll would be a bit problem(only sometimes).

The one you bought in Lowyat does it under Dell Malaysia warranty? I am interested the FHD with i7. Dell website only has i5 processor for FHD setup.

yes , it has the warranty from Dell, just go to dell website and register your product.

The main advantages are less quality issues and hiigher QC. Not specs. Higher capacity doesn't 100% mean more battery life

XPS 15 is plagued with issues - for years. Never recommend it (the iGPU model is still OK but not available in Malaysia). Not to be confused with XPS 15 9575 2 in 1 which is decent but I hate the non-upgradeable RAM and high price

i thought they fix the thermal issue, modifying the flow
