Dell XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 Review: Better than the XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 in one specific way

Name: Dell XPS 13 9310 2-in-1
Brand: Dell

Should you even bother? A simple processor swap has done wonders for the XPS 13 convertible. Raw CPU gains are not as impressive, but the graphics are up significantly without impacting battery life or power consumption.

XPS Tiger Lake Touchscreen Intel Evo Laptop

The Dell XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 shares the same chassis as the 2019 XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 but with newer Tiger Lake-U 11th gen Intel options to replace the older Ice Lake 10th gen options. Thus, key features on the 7390 2-in-1 all remain untouched on the 9310 2-in-1 including the MagLev keyboard keys, vapor chamber cooler, 13.4-inch 16:10 touchscreen, and properly positioned webcam.

Our test unit has been configured with the Core i7-1165G7 CPU, 16 GB LPDDR4x 4267 MHz RAM, and 1920 x 1200 touchscreen for approximately $1600 USD. Other options include a Core i5-1135G7 CPU with half the RAM or higher-resolution 3840 x 2400 display. No OLED options are available unlike on the XPS 13 9310 clamshell.

We recommend checking out our existing review on the XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 to learn more about the physical features of the chassis as all our comments also apply for the 9310 2-in-1. This review will focus on the performance of the XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 and what users can expect to gain over the older but visually identical 7390 2-in-1.

Competitors in this space include other 13-inch subnotebook convertibles like the Lenovo Yoga 6 13, Asus ZenBook Flip 13, Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 13, or MSI Summit E13 Flip. A clamshell version of the XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 is also available simply called the XPS 13 9310.

Case — Still the Sleekest Convertible Around

The chassis remains identical to the XPS 13 7390 2-in-1. However, the way Dell measures dimensions have changed since then and so the official measurements are now 14.35 x 297 x 207 mm instead of 13 x 296 x 207 mm on the older 7390 2-in-1.

Connectivity — Now with Thunderbolt 4

The two Thunderbolt 3 ports on the previous generation model have been updated to Thunderbolt 4. This won't make a difference for most users save for those who intend to connect external graphics.

Webcam

The low resolution 720p webcam remains unchanged which is a real bummer. The latest Razer Blade laptop upgraded its webcam from 720p to 1080p without any other changes to the chassis and so it would have been great to see something similar on this XPS 13 refresh.

Maintenance

No major changes to the internal layout of the XPS 13 9310 2-in-1

Accessories and Warranty

Extras include a USB-C to USB-A adapter since the system integrates no full-size USB-A ports. The packaging is also made completely from recycled materials and 25 percent ocean-bound plastics which are nice environmentally friendly touches.

The standard one-year limited warranty applies with many extension options if purchased directly from Dell.

Display — We've Seen this Before

Dell is using the same 1200p Sharp LQ134N1 IPS panel across all of its 16:10 XPS 13 laptops including the XPS 13 7390 2-in-1, XPS 13 9300 clamshell, XPS 13 9310 clamshell, and our XPS 13 9310 2-in-1. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as it continues to be a bright, high quality 13.4-inch panel with excellent color coverage (>99 percent sRGB), high contrast, and sharp pixels with no graininess issues whatsoever. The slow black-white response times are still a weak point meaning ghosting is very noticeable especially if gaming.

A higher resolution UHD+ (3840 x 2400) option is available which we suspect to be the same Sharp LQ134R1 IPS panel as found on the XPS 13 9300.

Almost no uneven backlight bleeding on our unit

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
40.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 22 ms rise
40.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 18.4 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 97 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
55.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 27.6 ms rise
55.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 28 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 91 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM detected

2500 Hz

≤ 25 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 2500 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 25 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 2500 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17900 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance — Intel Tiger Lake-U to the Rescue

Processor — Underperformer

CPU performance fluctuates heavily much like what we observed on the XPS 9310 clamshell equipped with the same Core i7-1165G7 processor. CineBench R15 xT scores can range from 480 to 750 points, respectively, compared to the more consistent clock rates of the XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 or ZenBook Flip 13. Processor performance can therefore be slower than the last generation Core i7-1065G7 at times.

Our unit was set to Ultra Performance mode via the Dell Power Manager software prior to running any benchmarks for the highest possible scores.

Storage Devices

Our test unit ships with the same Toshiba BG4 PCIe3 NVMe SSD as found on the older XPS 13 7390 2-in-1. However, we wouldn't be surprised to see some units ship with Micron SSDs instead. There is no support for PCIe4 speeds unlike on the latest Vaio Z.

GPU Performance — Huge Gains Over Iris Plus G7

Iris Xe Graphics performance is a significant upgrade from the Iris Plus G7 on last year's XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 by as much as 60 to 90 percent according to 3DMark benchmarks. Users should see the biggest jumps for titles that support DX12 over DX11.

Performance is not always steady, however. For example, simply idling on Witcher 3 at low settings for an hour would result in fluctuating frame rates between 70 and 98 FPS. Thus, while performance is great on average, it may periodically dip slower by quite the margin. This behavior is something we've observed on previous generation XPS 13 models as well.

Emissions

System Noise — Quiet under Most Low-to-Medium Loads

Fan behavior is nearly identical to what we observed on the XPS 13 7390 2-in-1. The main difference is that fan noise may boost sooner when running high loads like 3DMark 06 possibly due to the higher Turbo Boost and PL2 limits of Tiger Lake-U when compared to Ice Lake. Otherwise, users can expect a fan noise between 38 to 43 dB(A) when running demanding loads or up to 27.2 dB(A) when video streaming or web browsing against a silent background of 24.3 dB(A). The new Galaxy Book Pro 360 13 would exhibit similar results.

Fan noise profile (White: Background, Red: System idle, Blue: 3DMark 06, Orange: Witcher 3, Green: Prime95 stress). Our test unit exhibits slight coil whining or electronic noise as shown by the small peak at around 12k Hz

Stress Test — Cycling Clock Rates and Frame Rates

When stressed with Prime95, CPU clock rates and temperature would spike and remain stable up to 2.9 GHz and 100 C for the first couple of minutes. Thereafter, clock rates and temperature would drop and stabilize in the 1.8 to 2.2 GHz and 66 to 75 C range, respectively, even when set to Ultra Performance mode via the Dell Power Manager software. In comparison, the Ice Lake-powered XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 would stabilize at both higher core clock rates and temperatures. Thus, it appears that the newer XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 is aiming for lower core temperatures albeit at the cost of higher Turbo Boost performance. The cycling clock rates when under stress mirror our cycling CineBench R15 xT loop scores from above.

GPU clock rates would also cycle between 800 to 1280 MHz when running Witcher 3 which also mirror our cycling frame rates mentioned above. It's unfortunate that there is no "steady performance option" available on the XPS 13 for users who might prefer it over this cycling behavior.

Running on battery power will limit performance. A 3DMark 11 test on batteries would return Physics and Graphics scores of 9805 and 5106 points, respectively, compared to 11424 and 6569 points when on mains.

	CPU Clock (GHz)	GPU Clock (MHz)	Average CPU Temperature (°C)

Power Consumption — Much More Power Efficient

The system consumes less power when gaming than on the older XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 despite the substantial increase in graphics performance. This shows how much of a leap Iris Xe can be over the Iris Plus G7 in terms of both power efficiency and performance.

Power consumption when running 3DMark 06

Witcher 3 power consumption on Ultra 1080p settings

Consumption would spike to 47.5 W when initiating Prime95 stress before steadily falling over time

Initiating Prime95+FurMark would draw up to 47.5 W for about 10 seconds

Battery Life — Double-Digit Runtimes

Runtimes are very close to what we recorded on the XPS 13 9310 clamshell while being almost two hours longer than on the older XPS 13 7390 2-in-1. At 11 hours of real-world WLAN browsing, the battery should be sufficient for a day of productive use.

Charging from empty to full capacity still takes about 1.5 hours. The 45 W USB-C adapter can be used to charge other devices as well.

Verdict — Faster at No Additional Costs

In review: Dell XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 Core i7-1165G7. Test unit provided by Dell

The XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 offers significantly faster graphics performance than the XPS 13 7390 2-in-1. Better yet, the system accomplishes this under the same power envelope meaning users are getting better graphics without needing to sacrifice battery runtimes, surface temperatures, or fan noise along the way. If you do a lot of graphics editing work, then you will no doubt benefit greatly by moving up to Iris Xe from older UHD Graphics or last year's Iris Plus G7.

Intel Iris Xe has been a huge boon to the XPS 13 series, but the unsteady CPU and GPU clock rates when compared to most other Ultrabooks or subnotebooks may be vexing to some power users.

Unfortunately, processor performance has barely improved from the Core i7 XPS 13 7390 2-in-1. Clock rates tend to fluctuate much more readily on our Core i7 XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 while the lack of any new display options is one less incentive for owning the newer model. As a result, many home users will find little to gain at best from the XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 when compared to the XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 especially when the older model can be found cheaper.

Price and availability

Our Dell XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 Core i7 configuration is now widely available across most retailers including Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, and Newegg for approximately $1600 USD. Alternatively, users can also purchase directly from Dell.com.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
