Dell XPS 13 9380 — Built Different. The Premium Ultrabook at Ksh 36,500.
The XPS 13 9380 is not a business laptop. It is Dell's consumer flagship ultrabook — the machine Dell made for people who wanted the best-designed, best-looking, most portable Windows laptop available. At Ksh 36,500 with 16GB RAM and a 4.60GHz i7, it brings premium design into reach. Browse all Dell models.
The Core i7-8565U is Intel's refined 8th Gen Whiskey Lake processor — a silicon-level improvement over the original 8th Gen Kaby Lake-R, delivering better sustained performance and lower thermal output at the same TDP. The 4.60GHz single-core turbo is competitive with many 10th Gen i5 chips, making the XPS 9380 feel fast and responsive for all everyday professional tasks. In a machine this thin (7.8mm at its thinnest point), Intel's power management and Dell's thermal design work together to sustain performance without the fan noise that afflicts lesser ultrabooks. With 16GB of LPDDR3 RAM — note this is soldered and cannot be upgraded — the XPS 9380 handles demanding multitasking without memory pressure. 16GB at this price point is generous; most competing ultrabooks of this era shipped with 8GB.
Dell's InfinityEdge technology reduces the display border to just 4mm on three sides — so thin the screen appears to float edge-to-edge. The practical result: a 13.3" display in a chassis smaller than an A4 sheet of paper. The 400 nits brightness is significantly higher than the 250 nits typical on business laptops at this price — comfortable to read in direct sunlight on a Nairobi rooftop or near a window. The 100% sRGB colour accuracy means photographs, design work, and presentations display with accurate, vibrant colours rather than the washed-out panels found on budget machines. The IPS panel delivers wide viewing angles — colours don't shift when colleagues look at the screen from the side. This is the best display in our entire certified range at this price.
The XPS 13 9380 chassis is machined from a single block of aluminium — the same manufacturing process used for premium watches and aerospace components. This produces a chassis that is rigid, cool to the touch, and resistant to the flex and creak of plastic alternatives. The carbon fibre palm rest is lighter than aluminium and more comfortable against the wrist during long typing sessions. The seamless glass precision touchpad has no visible seam or border — it feels like a single piece of glass integrated into the machine. At 1.23kg, the XPS 9380 is lighter than every Dell Latitude, every ThinkPad, and every HP EliteBook in our range — making it the machine of choice for professionals who carry it all day.
2× Thunderbolt 3 + USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 — The Port Story
The XPS 13 9380 has no USB-A port and no HDMI port — a deliberate design choice to achieve its 7.8mm minimum thickness. What it has instead is two Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports at 40Gbps — the fastest data and display interface available. Each port supports: 4K display output (or dual 4K from a single TB3 hub), USB-C charging from either side of the machine, external GPU connection, and NVMe SSD enclosure speeds. A third USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 port handles data and display at 10Gbps. A USB-C to USB-A adapter (Ksh 500–800 at Luthuli Avenue) covers legacy peripherals. A USB-C hub with HDMI (Ksh 1,500–3,000) adds HDMI and multiple USB-A ports for desk use. The trade-off is worth understanding before purchase — if you need direct USB-A or HDMI every day without an adapter, a Dell Latitude or ThinkPad will serve you better. If you primarily work wirelessly or at a desk with a single USB-C hub, the XPS's port selection is entirely modern.

Frequent Travellers
1.23kg and 7.8mm thin makes the XPS 13 9380 the machine you forget is in your bag. For professionals who fly, take Matatus long-distance, or commute daily across Nairobi — the weight saving versus a 1.5–1.8kg business laptop is felt in your shoulder by end of day.

Dell XPS 13 9380 Kenya
Common questions from Kenyan buyers about the Dell XPS 13 9380.
-
The Dell XPS 13 9380 with Core i7-8565U, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, and 13.3" FHD InfinityEdge display is available at Ksh 36,500 at Tech Convenience Store, Nairobi CBD. WhatsApp 0714 722 264 to confirm stock. We deliver countrywide across all 47 counties in Kenya.
-
No — the 16GB LPDDR3 RAM is soldered directly to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded or replaced. This is a permanent hardware decision made at manufacture for thinness. The good news: 16GB is generous for an ultrabook at this price — most competitors shipped 8GB — and handles all professional multitasking comfortably. The 256GB M.2 2242 NVMe SSD, however, is replaceable — upgrade to 512GB or 1TB at Luthuli Avenue when needed.
-
No — the XPS 13 9380 has no USB-A port and no HDMI port directly. Its port selection is: 2× Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C), 1× USB-C 3.1 Gen 2, 1× MicroSD, and 3.5mm audio. To connect USB-A devices (flash drives, mice, keyboards) or an HDMI monitor, you need a USB-C adapter (Ksh 500–800) or a USB-C hub with HDMI (Ksh 1,500–3,000) available at Luthuli Avenue. This is a deliberate design trade-off for the machine's 7.8mm thickness. If you need daily direct USB-A or HDMI without an adapter, a Dell Latitude or ThinkPad will serve you better.
-
Choose the Dell XPS 13 9380 (Ksh 36,500) if: display quality (400 nits, 100% sRGB, InfinityEdge), build premium (CNC aluminium, carbon fibre), weight (1.23kg vs 1.38kg), and 16GB RAM matter most. Choose the HP ProBook 630 G9 (Ksh 36,000) if: you need USB-A and HDMI direct without adapters, want the newest 12th Gen processor architecture with 10 cores, want Wi-Fi 6E, and prefer a traditional business laptop form factor. For design and portability, the XPS wins clearly. For connectivity and processor generation, the ProBook wins. The price difference is Ksh 500.
-
The Dell XPS 13 9380's 13.3" InfinityEdge FHD IPS display is the best display in our entire certified range at this price. At 400 nits brightness, it is significantly brighter than the 250-nit panels on most business laptops — comfortable to use near windows and in outdoor café settings common in Nairobi. 100% sRGB colour accuracy means photographs, design work, and presentations display with vibrant, accurate colours. The 4mm InfinityEdge bezel makes the screen appear edge-to-edge. IPS panel delivers wide viewing angles — colleagues looking at your screen from the side see accurate colours, not washed-out panels. The only display in our range that surpasses it is the MacBook Air M1's Retina screen at Ksh 56,999.
