 I liked my original Dell XPS 12 2-in-1 a lot. So much in fact that I made this video that never got released because my hair looked awful. Other than some screen burn-in issues, it's been a fantastic machine and it's still in service today. Partly because since then there hasn't been anything quite like it. More recent XPS 12 2-in-1s have been Asus Transformer style tablets with detachable keyboards. Well, no more! A proper super compact 2-in-1 is back. The Dell XPS 1390 365 2-in-1 2017. Or as I'm christening it, the Folden Atrix 9000. Because Dell's name for it is terrible. INTRO Anker's PowerCore 5000 is a 2-in-1 portable charger and wall charger featuring 5000 mAh of capacity. Check it and their Valentine's promotion out at the link below. The Folden Atrix 9000 comes out ahead of its predecessor in most ways. Build quality is a step up with an aluminum and carbon fiber shell that manages to get lighter and thinner. Without losing any of that quality feel. So the razor blade stealth no longer stands out from other ultra portables at the starting at $999 price point. The screen is far from color accurate out of the box, but it's bright with great contrast. And Dell's trademark infinity edge that gives this 13-inch device a much smaller footprint than even modern competitors. Like the HP Spectre X360 2017. A 13-inch 2-in-1 that I covered here. It's very very totable and the performance compromise is much less than I expected. Dell claims that by dynamically boosting the power delivery to the processor, they have overcome the disappointing performance of last generation super low power Intel Y-series devices, while still achieving a fanless cooling solution. And I'm impressed. It won't hold up to sustained gaming loads with an external Thunderbolt 3 video card as well, due to its lower clock speeds and inferior cooling. But on battery, the XPS comes within spitting distance of the X360, which sports a much faster on paper Core i7-7500U. Though, nothing in life is free and it should also be noted that the battery life for both machines ended up being very similar as well. And on top of that, neither of them is capable of smooth 4K YouTube video playback, without running into CPU bottlenecking from time to time. Let's talk hinge. The satisfying but probably fragile and expensive to manufacture Ferris wheel is dead. And the industry seems to have collectively decided a 360 degree yoga style hinge is the way to make a single device operate in laptop, tablet mode or somewhere in between. So it comes down then to who makes the best one. And Dell's is good, if a little underwhelming next to the X360. They both have wonderfully smooth action, but HP managed to achieve a one finger lift while the XPS is actually kind of challenging to pry open. I.O. is another trade-off prospective XPS buyers will need to consider. I've accepted that I'll need to carry type-C dongles for the rest of my life, but I do wish that like the X360, it had at least one full-size type-A port in case I forget. The speakers are loud and sound quality good for an ultra portable, and the webcam is mostly decent with a very good array mic. But if you use yours a lot, you might not like its position at the bottom of the screen. You end up with that creepy looking down at you expression that isn't present on competing models like the X360 2017. More good news though, the onboard 2x2 Wi-Fi knocked my freaking socks off. This is the first time I've seen consistent 50 megabyte per second transfers on a laptop. It's using a year-old chipset from Intel, so it must just be a very excellent antenna design. Which brings us finally to the bad news. I'm not a huge fan of the bottom half of the clamshell. The fingerprint sensor is fast and accurate, but it really needs to be backlit so I can find it in the dark, and an IR camera here instead would be a welcome improvement next time around. The touchpad has a consistent click feel below the top quarter, and is much better with the speed turned down a notch and the palm rejection delay adjusted to quick, but it still jitters too much when operated two-handed. I give it a B+. As for the keyboard, it's not terrible or anything. The layout is mostly pretty good, especially considering how little space they had to work with, but there's also not much that I like about it. The soft touch finish combined with the very spongy tactile feel of the switches gives it a feeling kind of like typing on a sofa. Number row inputs register incorrectly when you press keys too quickly, and I hate, hate, hate the arrow key layout. Page up, page down, home, and end should be handled with function plus arrows, and don't need dedicated keys. This was really frustrating. Just about every other time I wanted to move the cursor one spot, I ended up scrolling the whole page. With that said, the Foldinatrix 9000 is a pretty cool little two-in-one. It's fanless, delivers top-notch battery life, comes equipped with Thunderbolt 3, is reasonably priced, and does all of this with a 360-degree hinge. Something you might not end up using that much, because it's still pretty heavy to use as a tablet. But with how little now that you're giving up, compared to previous convertibles for that hinge, hey, it might be time for traditional notebook users to consider converting. Yeah, I'll show myself out. Speaking of tools for the job, it's summer apparently. Something, something, boarding planes, trains, driving a car, leave your worries behind.
