yes it's a lovely machine but at the price there should be more quality control in China. My brand new machine has a broken pixel, an annoying square of bright blue light that you can see against dark backgrounds, this is not covered by guarantee … it is very annoying
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello daniel,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear about your experience. Below I have provided steps to perform a hard reset if this should happen again. We also recommend running a hardware diagnostic test. I have provided the link below.
1. Power off the laptop. Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds. 2. Disconnect the AC adapter or power cord, and remove the battery. Note: For Dell laptops that have a non-removable battery, see the Dell knowledge base article How to reset Real Time Clock (RTC) to recover your Dell XPS, Dell Latitude, or Dell Precision laptop. Note: For certain Dell Latitude laptops, we recommend you try and recover the laptop using the forced ePSA method. See the Dell knowledge base article How to Use Forced ePSA to Recover from POST or Boot Failure. 3. Disconnect all external devices or peripherals like USB drives, printer cables, and media cards (SD/xD). 4. Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds to drain residual power. 5. Connect the AC adapter or power cord and the battery. 6. Power on the laptop. Full Article: https://dell.to/3iIh4GY

The Dell Support Assistant popped up suddenly on my screen and offered ways to check the health of my new XPS laptop, but no matter what "Run" button I pressed, nothing happened. Frustratingly I cannot find that same assistant on my PC to reopen it now I have shut it down. so all it has done is waste 30 minutes of my day. Awful!
Microphone doesn’t work, nothing seems to fix it. Should not be this broken considering it is brand new

I love the features and the size. It meets all of my requirements for business, travel and home use. The only thing stopping me from giving the XPS 13 a 5 star rating is that the built in microphone and speaker are barely useable for Zoom calls. A decent blue tooth headset resolves that issue.

The Dell XPS 13 7390 is a great computer, but might not be that worth it at original price. However, the only downside of this computer is that it sometimes gets very hot, especially when you run a heavy workload on it. This computer is all one needs if they want to browse the web, edit some videos, and maybe even do some light server processing. The best part of the computer is that it can boot up within seconds. I would recommend this product to any typical computer user. If you are a person who does more heavy server computing, this product may not be for you.
Had my XPS 13 for just over a week so far and I'm very pleased with it. Ideal laptop device, light, but sturdy. Great screen, and performance is great.
