Finally, a 2-in-1 InfinityEdge. Dell has successfully translated its award-winning XPS 13 notebook into a convertible with many of its original features intact including the design and display. Users will have to sacrifice some performance and features along the way when compared to the latest Ultrabooks.

I don't understand that a so mobile device -we arent' talking here of a 17" -can have such good rate with a so crappy screen, even worse it is not matte.
I guess i have to not consider anymore the overall score.
A matte screen is not better than glossy in terms of color and display quality. Glossy will always get you better colors that "pop". Yes you will get reflections outdoors, but Matte diffuses light glare across the whole screen, so while you get less reflections, overall quality image is affected instead.
I don't disagree with that but i work with image and 3D and a matte screen is essential because while in perfect conditions a reflective screen might have a slight advantage in some circumstance it is just enough a small reflection to trash everything.
But my point was more strategic: a more mobile device has a more potential of being turned on in more varied places. So a matte screen is essential. Imagine going with this to a cafetaria and most public places.
As well as placing a lack of USB A on the cons list, Notebookcheck really needs to hold manufacturers to account for not including Ethernet. It CAN be done in a compact form-factor.
Can you comment on the pinching behavior that's present with regular XPS 13? Basically, if you open XPS 13 on your lap, it can catch and pinch your clothes or skin (eg. when you've got shorts on).
Other than the crappy keyboard, that's my only complaint I have with XPS 13 (ok, and 3200x1800 only available with touch screen).
I've always trust notebookcheck.net as the most technical reviewer on internet. But I found it's strange that other reviewer came up with drastically different numbers on colour space compared to yours.
Mobiletechreview - 97% sRGB, 76% Adobe RGB

LaptopMag - 107.2% sRGB

DigitalTrends - 97% sRGB, 75% Adobe RGB

It seems all of them are more or less confirming each other, only your numbers stand out. Can you investigate deeper on this issue?
btw they are also reviewing the 1080p version
XPS 13 9365 - An epic failure of a laptop, period.
As an XPS 9560-owner, I long for something that I can edit photos and draw illustratotions with on the go, and for some powerwerbrowsing like multiple tabs of 20+ page google docs.
Will this be suitable?
Proper laptop. Doesn't try to replace a desktop, instead perfects the components that make a laptop what its is. Excellent size, weight, battery. People who bash the 9365 are clueless. Fact it's completly quiet is adds A LOT to the experience. Any serious work will always be done on a decktop
