Foreword:

In the notebook area, Dell has always had a good reputation. My first notebook was Lenovo's G450, which was regarded as a low-end machine at the time. At that time, as a student, I had such a notebook that was very satisfying. This notebook has always been with me, and then changed to a thin, but it did not take long to scrap, so I once again used the old guy. Now, with the demand for work and quality of life, the requirements for computers have gradually begun to increase, so we have been considering changing a notebook. Today I would like to say this Dell XPS 13-9350-R1609, its price is actually not very close to the people, more than 8,000 prices for today's public notebook market, be regarded as high-end. In terms of configuration i5-6200U 8G 256G FHD Win10 13.3 inches, is suitable for office and people who do not play games, and really make me feel comfortable, in fact, is the quality of Dell, the comfort brought by the metal body, It does give you an extra feeling. Well, no more nonsense, we directly out of the box, take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of this notebook.

Packaging display:

On the outer packaging, it is a common paper-shell package. In the middle is a big logo, which is concise:

The upper part is the notebook's bracelet handle, which is convenient for users to transport and carry.

On the packaging box, we can see the labeling of China's energy efficiency label, which still looks very power-efficient. However, as a notebook, do not need to worry about power consumption too much, after all, the price of the notebook has been determined side by side on your spending power:

Unpacking process and accessories display:

Open the outer package, there is also a small package, surrounded by foam wrapped around the package, can prevent the squeeze during transport. The phenomenon of violent transport is increasing. If there is not a good packing method, it is very easy to produce transportation problems. Actually proved that the notebook is well-preserved, there is no squeezing phenomenon:

Take out the accessories inside, we can see the left is the notebook's "small package", the right is the laptop's power cord:

After opening, we can see the unconventional parts of the product. After all, the accessories that can be used in the notebook are both:

In the details of the deal, Dell still shows the style of the big brands, even if the power adapter will also work on the packaging up and down a few, wrap-style storage method can also make you more convenient when carrying out:

In addition to the outer packaging, there is also an inner packaging, and the inner packaging uses all black tones, showing a deep:

Open the box, the texture of the notebook comes from the notebook metal, and I shot this picture, which is also wrapped around the notebook's protective plastic film, through the plastic film we can still feel the metal, and this metal I It has been known in several Huawei mobile phones. The silver aluminum shell will give us different feelings:

Because I always had finger prints when I was writing screen products, I bought a pair of gloves in advance to prevent fingerprint contamination. But then facts show that I have some miscalculations this time, because I was afraid of fingerprints contaminated with metal casing at first, but the resulting anti-dirty properties of the casing led me to save my gloves:

If you want to take out the notebook, you still need this simple pull plastic cover to help, because the notebook is fixed in the box is very admirable, you need a little hard to get the product out:


After taking out the notebook, the contents of the notebook's paper file are also placed on the bottom of the notebook, including the notebook's manual, package modifications, etc.:

Paper documents such as Quick Start Guide are not usually used:

Product details display (front, side)

(The style must change)

In terms of product display, I used another image style because the notebook was on my desk. From the appearance we can see off the "thin coat" thick metallic feeling, the use of anodized aluminum shell, with a metallic paint finish, so that the appearance of the entire notebook to enhance the grade value is not small. The product has two colors, in addition to my silver classic version, there is a limited edition of gold, and for me personally, do not like the local gold has been destroyed:

In terms of weight, the initial weight of the notebook was controlled at 1.2 kg, which is equivalent to the weight of 4 Coke. This weight is obviously very light, compared to my previous notebook, the quality may be better than a few grades:

The appearance of the notebook is not much decorative design, and some are still the middle of the classic logo, so that the entire notebook looks not so monotonous:

In terms of thickness, the thinnest part of the Dell XPS 13-9350-R1609 can reach 9mm. This thickness is still very thin, because 9mm is thinner than the diameter of a hairy coin:

On the port side, the performance of the Dell XPS 13-9350-R1609 is pretty good, because it also takes more slots:

In addition to the port, we can see the remaining battery indicator, showing the remaining battery, this indicator if you do not care is easy to ignore:

On both sides of the notebook, speakers are set:

Product details display (back)

The back of the notebook gives a very intuitive sense of screen segmentation, and each detail has its own unique visual sense:

Two long non-slip rubber pads can better fix the notebook. When you use it, you can feel a strong sense of friction. Even if the place has a certain degree of inclination, the non-slip pads can firmly hold the notebook. For you to have a better experience:

The middle is the control label and the service label. This metal frame can actually be uncovered. At the beginning, I didn't understand why this was set up. I thought it was a laptop stand:

After opening we can see some of the content above:

The cooling holes of the notebook are arranged in a rectangular shape. For this notebook, the feeling of quietness is still very good, but the heat dissipation effect is also reduced. However, when the measured temperature, the notebook's fever situation is still ideal, taking into account Is a new machine, if the back is not well maintained, the cooling effect will be reduced:


Product details display (internal)

Open the lid, we can see the black interior, the entire notebook is biased towards business, personalized place is much less. Of course, the so-called personalization is just looking at the above from the perspective of the top, there are still amazing places behind, but also need to open later:

The palm rest adopts carbon fiber material, which is lighter and thinner than plastic, and it feels much cooler, feels comfortable in hot summer, and has good sturdiness. This is one reason why the weight of the whole machine is lighter. At present, many high-end notebooks are using carbon fiber materials. Why is it high-end, because generally the price of notebooks with carbon fiber is not cheap, and we are looking forward to the real entry of carbon fiber materials into the era of cabbage prices:

There is a logo inside the notebook body that is too monotonous if it is not possible:

The notebook's key feel and feedback speed are places that make people feel happy. You don't need to spend much effort. The whole feeling is like stroking cotton. For some friends who like mechanical keyboard feedback, they may be somewhat disgusted. For this, it is also a place where the notebook can't break through. After all, you have to consider both thinness and touch. You can do it now. I personally feel that it is very satisfying:

The place where this notebook gives me the biggest surprise is actually the place where the touch panel is. The feeling of delicate lubrication is really comfortable. I also said to my family that this feeling is as smooth as baby skin. This is the biggest surprise for me in this notebook. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. Comfortable, only use this word to describe (sorry, the praise here is a bit high):

The power switch button of the notebook is designed in the upper right corner of the keyboard. The round button design looks pretty good. The slightly recessed design prevents the lid from being accidentally switched on:

After starting up, we can see the middle indicator, the overall appearance of glimmer, and will not be obvious, so that you will not feel dazzling at night:

Another highlight of the notebook is the design of the micro-edge frame. The 13.3-inch screen is equipped with a slim body. The addition of a micro-bezel makes the notebook look small. The 5.2 mm border design can be said to subvert the traditional screen border. The layout allows large screens to be carried:

For this notebook there is a more interesting place, that is, the location of the camera is designed in the bottom left corner of the screen, this has a lot to do with the micro-border design, for users familiar with the top of the screen, you may also need to be familiar with it :

Dell's notebook is with a backlit keyboard, can be clearly seen in low-light environment, so you can increase the accuracy of your input, allowing you to enter more accurate and comfortable:

The middle position of the edge of the notebook is also a power status indicator. When you are using it, you can see the power indicator. The brightness is still very comfortable and will not be dazzling:

This place with the indicator light we can see everywhere, and the overall feeling is just right, will not make you feel dazzling, some places if you do not look carefully and will not find:

Turn on the test (startup screen)

The laptop's system is pre-installed, so it doesn't require extra trouble. It just needs to be set up gradually as required:

The current Windows system is still very good to use, it is very easy to operate:

Here again insert the micro frame after boot:

The micro frame after booting looks better:

Startup measurement (noise)

The mute effect of this notebook is still very good, you almost can not feel the sound of the fan, in the off state, we can see the notebook noise is 36.5

After booting, we can see that the notebook's noise value is 37.7, and the rising value is almost negligible:

Turn on the actual measurement (endurance)

The life of the notebook exceeded my expectations, I adjusted the notebook to the highest brightness, and then opened the online video player to play video test notebook online life:

The power is turned off and turned to the highest brightness. At this time, the time is 23::4, and the battery power is 99%:

Because it was a test to be done at night, I couldn't move at more than two o'clock and I was sleepy. So as of 2:37, battery life is still 58%. The above display can also be viewed for 3 hours and 56 minutes. And 41% of the game was played for 2 hours and 53 minutes, nearly 3 hours. I'm personally happy with this endurance, because first of all it's very slim. I didn't have too much luxury for my life before:

Power on the test (software test)

The performance of the test notebook is definitely to rely on some test software, so I also conducted practical tests on the hardware and software of the notebook through several softwares, and the results are also expected:

The following is a screenshot of Lu’s master evaluation software. As for the conclusion, this looks more intuitive:

Tested the temperature pressure, the test results are pretty good:


The i5-6200U is a low-power version. It is a dual-core, four-threaded, Skylake-U type CPU with a 14-nanometer process. Its short-time Turbo maximum power consumption is up to 20W, long-time Turbo frequency is 15W, and the default frequency is 2.3GHZ. , maximum Turbo 2.8Ghz, support for virtualization, with 3MB of L3 cache:

THNSN5256GPU7 adopts 16nm MLC IC and default NVME driver under Win10 system. However, buffer flushing must be turned off in Device Manager to make writing speed normal. It should be a driving problem. Excluding this point to take a look at the read and write speeds of this hard drive, through the AS SSD Benchmark test, Seq Read – 2174.05 MB/s, Write – 931.34 MB/s, 4K - 64Thrd Read – 808.15MB/s, Write – 629.95 MB/s, NVMe M2 SSD has a significant improvement on 4K read and write, THNSN5256GPU7 is still satisfactory on the data:

to sum up:

Through the use of a while, this notebook gives me the greatest feeling is easy to carry, petite size and lightweight body, plus a strong endurance support, enough to allow you to go out and solve the needs of the notebook. The combination of a metal body and carbon fiber on the handle makes this notebook much better. But looking back at the hardware part, the configuration feels more like the configuration of a mid-range notebook. Only with the combination of metal body and carbon fiber material, the notebook's overall cost-effectiveness is right up to its price. The ultra-thin book will have some lack of performance. This is where technical support is needed at present.

The final suggestion is that if there are too many intrinsic pursuits for the notebook, it may not be suitable for this notebook; if it is a combination of technology and appearance association people, then this notebook is still relatively suitable.

advantage:

High value, small size, light weight, good feel

Disadvantages:

Ultra-thin notebooks will be limited in performance due to the use of low-power CPUs, which is the bottleneck of ultra-low-cost development.
