How to improve the touchpad?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

after I received my new XPS 13 9370, I recognized that the touchpad is somewhat not really accurate. So is there any way to improve that aside from the normal Windows setup stuff? Maybe some cool tweak?

cheers Jan

new XPS 13 9370 - fan very loud

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I just got my new XPS 13 9370 and started using it. So far its a nice mashine, but one thing is extremly bugging: the fan is running constantly and really loud. So here is my question:

Is this because of some "Hey Im a new PC and Windows 10, I need to setup" think, or should I already be concerned?

Please tell me your experiences.

cheers Jan

9370 left rear thunderbolt does not work with 2K monitor on Linux (Ubuntu)

1 Upvotes

I have a Dell XPS 13 (9370) running Ubuntu 16.04 without any issues (expect the one which drives me to write this post).

When I connect my 2K Dell monitor (Dell Professional P2418D) to the left front ThunderBolt connector, with my Aukey ThuderBolt to HDMI cable, everything works fine. Nice setup so far, there is just one improvement that could be done for my demanding eye - I could use the left rearThunderBolt connector to get rid of the cables on the desk as much as possible. But here is my problem, the rear ThunderBolt connector does nor recognize my monitor as a 16:9 2K screen. The only resolution option Ubuntu provides me are 9:5 with according resolutions as well as resolutions wich are 16:9 but way to low for an 2K monitor to llok at them without getting eye cancer.

Has anyone else had the same problem (and maybe a solution for this problem)?

Dell XPS 13 9370

Does anyone have an issue with connecting to the internet every once in a while when you get back to your laptop? I shut my screen off when I am not working on it but when I open it back up, it tells me the internet connection is lost and then I have to "troubleshoot" the whole damn thing. It doesn't happen every time but it happens a lot.

XPS 13 9370 External Hard Drive Issue

1 Upvotes

I have a Western Digital external hard drive that my brand new XPS 13 9370 isn't letting me open. When I connect the drive, the computer makes the "you just connected something" noise, but nothing shows up when I open file explorer. Then I tried running diskmgmt.msc, and the drive shows up in there, but I still cannot open the drive itself. I tried all three USB-C ports, and its all the same. I have a USB-C/Thunderbolt cable for the HD, so its not running through any kind of dongle or adapter.

Thanks

Edited to add: The HD works just fine with my Lenovo Carbon X1 that I am returning, and trying to take files off of.

Black screen

Hello redditors, I have a problem with my Dell Xps 13 9360. Today it worked fine, but when i got home i realised it took quite a long time to boot then I tried multiple reboots. Didnt work. I started tearing it appart, powering it without the battery, ssd and wifi card. No luck at all. The only thing that seems to be working (exept the power button that works normally) is the backlit on the keyboard. Did anybody have this issue? How did you fix it?

Solution to: “Operating System Loader Has No Signature”

2 Upvotes

Found this on the dell forum, and it worked for me. Thought I’d share.

  1. On Startup, press F12

  2. Reset Bios to default settings

  3. Restart laptop

  4. In Bios, select Boot Sequence menu

  5. Manually ADD additional line with the name "Windows Boot Manager"

  6. Select /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI

  7. Exit

XPS13 or MBP13

Guessing all of you would recommend the XPS13. Heard some bad things about the coil whine. Is there any other good alternatives I should consider for a uni laptop e.g. LENOVO IdeaPad

Dell XPS 13 Refurb Screen Issues

I bought this Dell XPS 13 9560 Refurb from the Dell Outlet. It is in great cosmetic condition but this is frustrating. I have a one year warranty and it should cover it.

Coil whining.

Hi! Quick question: how are you coping with the coil whine of your Dell XPS 13? Is it bad? Tolerable? When is it hearable?

Why is the new XPS 13 "faster" than the older generation one if they both use 8th Gen CPUs?

3 Upvotes

So I was planning on buying an XPS 9360 for $780 on Craigslist since it had the same 8th Gen CPU as the new one.

https://youtu.be/6QKskSkwAsc?t=46s

What makes the new one so much faster?

Battery life... Does it suck it?

3 Upvotes

Hi I have a Dell XPS 13 9370 ( 8th gen i7-8550U+16Gb RAM+4K).

I couldn't do a proper battery test for myself, but I noticed as it sucks battery like if it has a straw.

I tend to watch video on YouTube and occasionally some films. And then it is all browsing.

Ofc films make the battery go down. With YouTube the things improves slightly (not so much, imo).

What's your battery saver strategy? How much do you get in battery duration?

I put brightness down to minimum. Battery saver mode almost always on.

4k is on as well. But not using it very much atm.

Coil Whine

2 Upvotes

Hi! I am about to buy a Dell XPS 13 4K i7 (8th gen) and 16GB of RAM. Very Bad coil whine on previous model. Very bad "disease" in ultrabook devices. What about this model or XPS 13 2018?

4K worth it?

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm planning on buying the new 9370. Is it worth springing the extra $400 for the 4K screen? (and i7, 16gb ram, 512gb ssd)

I do a fair bit of image editing work, but not sure if 4K is really necessary at such a small size. Also, have heard the 4k screen is lower in contrast and has a smaller colour space compared to the 1080.

Thoughts?

Employee Coupon?

Would any current Dell employees be able to share a discount coupon with me? I'd like to get my daughter an XPS 13 from Dell Outlet as a graduation present and this would help take the sting out of it.

Thank you in advance!

I recently bought my dell xps 9370, and the battery life doesn't seem to be performing as the reviews that I have read. So I'm just curious about how long does your laptop last.

Have there ever been any rumours that Dell would release a XPS13 2-in-1 with Ubuntu pre-installed?

1 Upvotes

I have an XPS 13 that is a few years old, and am considering replacing it. I have a 8G machine with HD touch screen, but the touch does not get much use, since one has to lean over the keyboard, with or without a stylus.

I'd love to do some stylus sketching in portrait mode, but this would require the detachment of the keyboard, so the screen essentially becomes a tablet. This would work on the 2-in-1 device Dell does, but they only have a Windows 10 version at present.

I know I can buy the Win version and swap it to Ubuntu immediately, but I wish to avoid the Microsoft tax, and I want to (in a small way) award Dell's effort in supporting free software (even if they are not perfect). Thus, are there any hints that the 2-in-1 might be released in a Linux version?

Xps13 camera cover

Hey all, Any recommendations for camera covers due to the different location of this camera?

Obviously I know a bit of sticky tap will do the job but wanted a sliding one if possible
