Đánh giá dell xps 9360 gen 8

I had lots of laptops in my life. Some even went as far as to make it very hard to boot from USB device (I am looking at you YOGA 9xx). This laptop won my heat the moment I saw the crazy amount of options you get in the BIOS. It makes it very easy for you to boot from USB, Thunderbolt 3 hub, even SDCard slot and install Linux. You can even reset the TPM 2.0 Security and have UEFI SMM security, and Secure Boot bios settings work with Linux perfectly to increase protection even further.

The first step is to update the BIOS, and the Firmware from Windows which will fix any hardware bugs you may encounter.

I installed the beta version of Ubuntu 18.04 and out of the box, everything worked just fine (audio, webcam, audio jack, SDCard, etc...). The wifi was not fully understood by Ubuntu so I just replaced the WiFi card with a year old Intel Dual AC card and wow the internet connection is fast and not even once the connection was lost or dropped. The average battery life I get in Ubuntu 18.04 is 9 to 10 hours and the laptop runs very cold (unlike Windows 10 which heats up this laptop slowing it down). I love the new Ubuntu 18.04 touch screen navigation feature, I don't use it as much but cool to show off to others. As a website full stack developer, I find the keyboard very comfortable and easy to adapt to. I am used to ASUS Zenbook keyboard and these ones very closely resembles them. Closing the lid and Ubuntu going to sleep and opening the lid which wakes up the laptop works fine (this is an issue in XPS-15). I tested the Thunderbolt 3 with a Thunderbolt 3 hub and all the components in that dock worked fine. Dock with two 4K display output you will need to install Display link software from their website.

So far I successfully installed Ubuntu 18.04, Fedora 20, Manjaro 18, OpenSuse, and Neon Linux. Good job Dell.

I have purchased Dell XPS 15 later on for my brother and wow it has lots of problems. Installing Linux in XPS 15 is a nightmare. So I recommend this XPS 13 for now.

I had a Dell XPS-13 9630 in this exact configuration: i7 8550U (8th generation processor), 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD and OLED display. It was a good computer once I got it fixed.

When I first received it, it would blue screen a couple of times a day. I contacted Dell and after diagnosis, they had me return it and they put a new main board in it. Worked fine after that.

But today, you can find the exact same configuration, with an 12th generation i7, for less money direct from Dell, if you're willing to take the unit with a white keyboard.

I bought this Dell Computer in August of 2018. My hard drive has crashed. Also, was losing battery charge after 18 months. Would not purchase this product again.

Buyers remorse. I have spent at least 80 hours back and forth with customer support and troubleshooting my laptop (I paid for premium). Bottom line is that they do not know what they are doing (Software Engineer here with about 30 years of experience with PCs). Expect extreme touchpad issues on windows 10. My original laptop had many parts replaced on site then depot-ed and came back worse. They finally sent me a refurb which had the same issues. I have tested 4 laptops with the same symptoms. Its a precision touchpad using the default MS driver so no Dell driver updates that that can fix this. Its a strange interaction between Synaptics / Intel / Dell hardware / BIOS and MS drivers. Ubuntu does not have these issues. Watch Dell support closely so they don't try and install random drivers from Softonic (or Alps drivers when its a Synaptics pad). Its total amateur hour over there.

Other problems that exhibited in all laptops were several dead and stuck pixels and microphone/speaker issues.

If support was good it could have made up for such marginal hardware. As it is, Dell support is abysmal and I would rather buy an Abacus before purchasing another Dell. I was a fool for ever leaving my MacBook Pro which served me well for over 5 years.

TL;DR

Hardware: 6/10 Support: 3/10

I had problems with this laptop while running architectural software (Autocad, 3DStudio): the beautiful, hi-res screen did not properly scale or display the graphics, which made it difficult to read and work with. Things look normal at the 1920x1080 standard resolution but it defeated the purpose of its hi-res screen which was the reason for the purchase. Also, the camera became useless for conferencing due to its odd location in the left lower corner. I have returned this laptop back to the vendor for credit; unfortunately and surprisingly, Amazon did not offer free return shipping, which was quite high by the time insurance for the full price of the laptop was added. A costly experience!

Incredible computer. I could not be happier with Dell's XPS line, both this one and the 2-in-1 model. I was a huge Lenovo Thinkpad supporter for many years, but Dell has surpassed all portable, ultrabook computers out there with their specs, battery life, and durability. This computer feels solid, yet I can easily travel with it anywhere. I have also tried the Surface Pro and Surface Book, both very capable devices, but they are far too expensive for what you get. This is in a great price range with amazing capabilities.
