Companies like Dell make money on upselling, that's why they sell it for much more than otherwise. PC market is a very mature market with cutthroat margins.
Please include the weight of the laptop. It's very important! I don't care much about thickness after a certain point, but weight can go as low as possible. Especially in a 2-in-1.
3.1 pounds Thats about normal. But gets tiring if you're trying to hold it in 1 hand and using it midair with the other for more than like 10-15 minutes.
I think they included in part of larger dell announcement - not sure if they have a review on it alone plan.
I just receive mind yesterday about 24 hours ago and at first it seem to be noisy, but last night I realize it is not much different than my Y50 coming to noise - but screen is awesome with 4K version and using it sitting on my bed.
2in1 in higher end notebook designed to include gaming is awesome for me. It just seems more portable and easier to used than my Lenovo Y50.
I know some people will not like having the driver for Vega be from Intel - but it makes since on how they have the chipset - it so frustrating to have two drives on the Y50. I understand why they did it and believe they are preparing for Artic Sound changes coming next year or 2020.
The Inspiron 13 7000 with Raven Ridge... but of course the Latitude is in a different build quality class than an Inspiron (although back in the old days, they were basically the same!)
There's a typo in your table on the first page - it says "Core i3-8250U or 8350U" when it should be i5. The High/Model Tested column also lists a 128GB SATA SSD despite you getting the 512GB NVMe model...
Yes, I'd like to echo tipoo's comment. Please keep it up! Reviews of business and consumer notebooks are a lot more useful to me than the latest gaming laptops.
Yeah, about the lack of a nub pointer - Brett, you must be like the last surviving dinosaur on Earth who hadn't yet managed to evolve toward touchpad use. I haven't seen anyone using the nub (when available) in a very long time; the touchpads these days are by far superior in convenience and precision. But, the nub keeps getting included in business/workstation-class machines (with us all having no choice but to pay for it), and it's got to be all singularly your fault at this point... :P
Not trying to be facetious here: what is the use case for having a microSD reader? Many laptops are migrating to offering this where they used to offer regular SD readers, and I'm curious if this is user-driven or OEMs trying to axe a larger component?
Personally, I mostly use a laptop while traveling and I use a DSLR, so I find a regular size SD reader useful. But the only device I own that uses microSD is my phone and it's more of a hassle to remove the card and use a reader than just connect the phone via USB. I wouldn't be surprised if something like GoPros used uSD, but is that demographic that large? What else is uSD broadly used for?
In my own day-to-day computing, I haven't used a standard sized SD card in quite a while because the only thing I own that can accept standard sized SD cards is my laptop. It's actually a little bit annoying to go dig an adapter out of a desk drawer so I'd rather see laptops fall in line with the other consumer electronics that already have made the transition to microSD. At this point, standard SD seems a bit outdated to me.
This is a redundant comment, because a lot of microSD cards come with a microSD to full size SD adapter. You can just leave the adapter in the slot if it bothers you that much. Other people might actually want the full size slot for their camera SD card.
It doesn't bother me that much. That's why I said it was "a little bit annoying" rather than "it bothers me a lot" or "very annoying." It just ends up seeming like you're inflating my concern in order to invalidate my comment about my own usage (which I clearly defined right away as applying to no one else but me) in order to support an opposed viewpoint.
It's fine if you want a full size SD slot. Then again, what's stopping someone from arguing that you can leave the adapter in a camera instead of a laptop? MicroSD write speed is pretty high and competitive with standard sized cards. I used an adapter in the last camera I owned a few years ago because microSD was cheaper for the same capacity and speed when I was buying storage for it.
In my day to day use, I've only really seen heavy use of microSD in phones/tablets. I have to echo the earlier sentiment that it is usually easier to just connect the phone/tablet than to remove the microSD card. A great many cameras, however, use SD. I'm sure there are plenty of devices that make use of microSD, but outside of phones/tablets, I just don't run across them. Also, it is very easy to adapt microSD to SD, but not the other way around. Furthermore, as piroroadkill pointed out, it wouldn't be at all problematic to leave the microSD to SD card adapter in the SD slot if you wanted a more permanent microSD solution.
As i have seen the features and the specification of the Dell Latitude 7392 it is quite a great gadget to be owned. The Dell Alienware is also great gadget if you are a game freak. https://www.uaetechnician.com/alienware-support-se...

128gb SSD on the high model? Thought it was a joke until I went to Dell's site.crimson117 - Thursday, April 12, 2018 - link
Seriously, it's like a $40 difference from 128GB to 256GB for basic M.2 SSD's! Dell's charging $110 for the upgrade.IntelUser2000 - Thursday, April 12, 2018 - link

Don't worry, as long as it is easy to open the unit, you can put whatever drive you want in and it will come out cheaper than buying it from dell.I supposed the 128 gb is a typo tho. Someone copy-pasted and forgot to update the value.
At any rate, it will be better to buy the least storage option and replace it yourself.

Don't worry, if you need more storage they'll gladly sell upsell you to the XPS series for an arm and a leg more.stgs - Thursday, April 12, 2018 - link
What about coil whine? I was about to buy the new 7490 but since reading about the coil whine is still present in 7390 I'm having second thoughts.UltraWide - Thursday, April 12, 2018 - link
I have an hp spectre x360 15t and it has coil whine. I read that it may have to do with the cpu power delivery unfortunately...IntelUser2000 - Thursday, April 12, 2018 - link

Where's the AMD version? That's the interesting one...HStewart - Thursday, April 12, 2018 - link
Do you mean XPS 15 2in1 with Vega GPU. Typically AMD CPU at Dell have no real market value - just people want them but never really purchase them.piroroadkill - Friday, April 13, 2018 - link

I still use and love the Lenovo TrackPoint (or "nub" as you refer to it). It is not trendy, but it is still very good IMHO.hybrid2d4x4 - Thursday, April 12, 2018 - link
