REVIEWS THE BEST DELL XPS 13

13 9300 use Intel’s most advanced 10th-gen

CPU, the Core i7-1065G7. Its main

“weakness” is that it “only” has four cores,

while the XPS 13 7390 has a 6-core 10th-gen

Core i7-10710U option. That Core i7-10710U

also has slightly higher single-core

performance. Not to be outdone, the

advanced Core i7-1065G7 actually has far

better graphics performance.

Unless you know you need a six-core CPU

for intensive workloads (and don’t mind the

weaker graphics), the 10th-gen Core

i7-1065G7 offers the best balance.

So, who’s the winner? Again, it depends

on what you do with your laptop. For

graphics, go with the XPS 13 2-in-1 7390 or

XPS 13 9300. For multi-core tasks, the XPS 13

7390 is the faster laptop—if you can accept

far worse graphics performance.

Winner: It depends.

The 6-core Core i7-10710U has better multi-core

performance than the 4-core Core i7-1065G7.
