DELL XPS 13 2020

DELL XPS 13 2020 (9300)

It takes me awhile, before I finally decides to get the DELL XPS 13 2020 laptop.

I used to own a DELL XPS 13 2018, and I am very happy with the performance, until one day, I was amazed with the design of HP Spectre Folio 13 that I decided to get one.

During my purchase, I notice that the HP Spectre Folio is only available in Intel i7 Dual Core model, but there is a model with 2TB memory, i like photography and I have a lot of photos and the 2TB model gets my attention. Even my Dell XPS 13 was intel i7 Quad Core, i know that there will be a performance difference, but still i was attracted by the leather folio design, the flexibility of changing it from laptop mode to tablet mode. I got a HP Folio Spectre.

However, after using the HP Spectre Folio 13, i was so disappointed with performance. Just loading photos take a long long time, and I do a lot of editing on photos, aside from the regular office work using excel, words and a powerpoint. and Finally, I have to give up.

Since I usually change gadgets, when I get a new one, I pass on my old gadget to any family member, therefore, I missed my DELL XPS 13, and so far, it have been my best Windows laptop. Hence, I decided buy the new DELL XPS 13 2020 (9300).

Since the model is not yet available in the Philippines, and DELL website only accepts USA credit card, I have to use Amazon for my purchase. My laptop took only one week to arrived.

By the way, Last month I also ordered one for my daughter who convinced me 3 years ago to use a DELL XPS 13, because she is so satisfied with it. Since then she is still using her laptop and very happy about it.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, my children decided that we have our Family Weekly Devotion online, it a way for us for see each other every week for at least an hour or two, since we are all leaving far from each others, my daughter and son is about 300Km away. Back to Dell XPS 13 (2018) , I am annoyed by the video of my daughter since the old Dell XPS 13 front camera is below the screen and the angle during video all is not so nice.

I decided to bought her a Dell XPS 13 2020 (9300) model as a surprise. That was last June and it took one month for the laptop to arrived, due to difficulty of shipping.

I am now excited to use it my new laptop.
