Help choosing between XPS 13 and Yoga 920

roboplex22 · August 14, 2018

So I'm an incoming freshman in college, and I'm trying to narrow down my choices for a good laptop. It doesn't necessarily need to be ultra powerful (I've already got a decent gaming rig at home), but it does need to be portable, well built, good looking screen, and I'd like it to be touchscreen for note taking. I don't necessarially want to spend over $1000, but if the price is right, I'd be willing to go a little over. I'm l pretty much looking for something that will get me through the next 4 years. I've found two pretty good deals online already, one for a Dell XPS 13 9370 with the 8th Gen i7, 8GB DDR3, 256gb SSD, and the 4k touchscreen, for $1199. Ive also found the Lenovo Yoga 920 with the same processor, SSD, and memory, but it's only got a 1080p panel. The 920 is $1000.

So I'm curious to hear if anyone here has experience with both of these notebooks. I've heard a ton of good things about the XPS, but I'm not as familiar with the Yoga. I'd love your advice, or if you have any other suggestions for other laptops, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks!!

Do you really need a 4k screen?!

If we are not comparing specs I would say the Lenovo, Ive had really good experiences with there warranty / tech support.

Plus they offer dirt cheap 3 year warranty on there laptops, for like 50$, Or if you want full coverage if you smash it from dropping it an extra like 25$.

And I think the Yoga just looks better, not a fan of Dells looks.

But this is my option!
