We were eager to see how the latest 9305 with its 16:9 display would perform in the test. For this, we acquired the entry-level model for 999 Euros (~$1,212). At the moment, the price is 1,079 Euros (~$1,309), probably due to an increased demand.
And there's a dependable rationality for that, because what semen across as a "low-cost XPS" is barely subscript to the "big" XPS 13 9310. The undimmed, vivid display display color excellently out of the corner, but unfortunately, brightness is somewhat choke on battery ability. along the other hand, the event quality is identical to the 9310.
The performance of the Tiger lake core i5 is optimally utilized, something that can't be achieved by every trial device with this SoC. The XPS 13 never truly become forte, not flush in Dell's performance manner.
The M.2 SSD is upgradeable, but the ram is not. This should be take into history when buy the device, because the 8 GB of the review sample might become scarce in the foreseeable future. Especially when you become beyond office application and network shop. Unfortunately, a poor 720p webcam continue to be use.
All in all, the XPS 13 9305 is a well-rounded subnotebook that is only inferior to the 9310 in terms of its display size, which is ultimately a matter of taste.
