The Dell XPS 13 9310 2-in-1, released in late 2020, is Dell's premium 13.4-inch convertible ultrabook — a full 360-degree hinge design that transforms between laptop, tent, stand, and tablet modes. Wrapped in a signature CNC-machined Platinum Silver aluminum shell with a black carbon-fiber palm rest, it targets creative professionals, students, and mobile executives who need one machine that can take notes with an active pen, present in stand mode, and still handle full-power productivity work. Powered by 11th Gen Intel "Tiger Lake" processors, Intel Iris Xe graphics, and one of the industry's first 16:10 InfinityEdge touch displays, it stands apart from the clamshell XPS 13 9310 that shares its model number. Because this ultrabook was fully customizable at checkout, your exact combination of core parts dictates its final resale price. Many people don't realize a premium convertible like this still holds strong resale value long after purchase — trading it in for cash through our service is often faster and simpler than listing it yourself and dealing with buyers.

Confirming your XPS 13 9310 2-in-1

This is the trickiest part of selling this specific laptop: Dell used the same "9310" model number for two completely different machines. The clamshell XPS 13 9310 and the XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 share the same number but use different internal hardware, different chassis, and different regulatory model numbers. Here's what confirms the 2020 convertible version:

✅ Dell XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 (2020)

  • Regulatory model: P103G (type P103G002)
  • 360-degree convertible hinge — folds flat into tablet mode
  • Processor: 11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake low-power (13W) — Core i3-1115G4, i5-1135G7, or i7-1165G7
  • 13.4-inch touch display with Gorilla Glass 5 (all configurations touch, no non-touch option)
  • Distinctive MagLev keyboard (magnetic, shallow-travel)
  • Release year: 2020 (sold through 2021)

❌ Not this page if you have…

  • XPS 13 9310 (clamshell) — same "9310" number, but does not fold flat; uses regulatory model P117G, 28W Tiger Lake chips, and offers an OLED display option
  • XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 (2019) — nearly identical chassis, but with 10th-gen Ice Lake processors (i3-1005G1, i5-1035G1, i7-1065G7)
  • XPS 13 9315 2-in-1 (2022) — the newer detachable tablet-style successor with a completely different design

Fastest way to confirm: The convertible hinge is the giveaway — if you can fold the screen all the way back until it touches the bottom of the laptop (a full 360 degrees), you have the 2-in-1. Then flip the laptop over and look at the label on the bottom cover for Reg Model: P103G — this is the 2020 XPS 13 9310 2-in-1. To double-check inside Windows, press Win + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter — the "Processor" line should show an 11th Gen Intel Core chip ending in G4 or G7 (i3-1115G4, i5-1135G7, or i7-1165G7).

Display & audio

Display

Signature 13.4-inch InfinityEdge touch display panels in a productivity-friendly 16:10 aspect ratio, both anti-reflective, anti-smudge, and covered in Corning Gorilla Glass 5 with Active Pen support. Two configurations were offered: standard FHD+ (1920 × 1200) at 60Hz with 100% sRGB and 450 nits brightness, or the flagship UHD+ (3840 × 2400) at 60Hz with 100% sRGB, 90% DCI-P3, and 450 nits. Both include Eyesafe blue-light reduction. Note: unlike the clamshell 9310, this convertible does not offer an OLED option.

Audio

Dual stereo speakers (2W × 2 = 4W total) tuned with Waves MaxxAudio Pro, paired with a dual-array digital microphone cluster for clear voice capture in meeting scenarios.

Ports & connectivity

The XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 uses an ultra-minimalist all-USB-C port loadout to preserve its thin, foldable profile. A USB-C to USB-A adapter typically ships in the box to bridge legacy accessories.

Left Side
  • 1× Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C / USB4) with DisplayPort 1.4a & Power Delivery (40 Gbps; either USB-C port can charge the laptop)
  • 1× microSD card reader (microSD only — this is not a full-size SD slot)
Right Side
  • 1× Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C / USB4) with DisplayPort 1.4a & Power Delivery
  • 1× 3.5mm headphone/microphone combo jack
  • 1× Power/lid sensor button with integrated fingerprint reader

No built-in USB-A, HDMI, or Ethernet ports. The 9310 2-in-1 relies entirely on its two USB-C / Thunderbolt ports — legacy connections require the included dongle or a separate adapter. There is also no separate DC charging jack; charging is handled through either USB-C port.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm my laptop is the XPS 13 9310 2-in-1, not the clamshell 9310?
This is a common point of confusion since Dell used the same "9310" number for both a clamshell laptop and a 2-in-1 convertible. The easiest test takes one second: try to fold the screen backward past 180 degrees. If it folds all the way flat into tablet mode, you have the 2-in-1 (this page). If the hinge stops at the normal laptop-open position, you have the clamshell XPS 13 9310 (a different sell page). To double-check, flip the laptop over and look at the label on the bottom cover for the regulatory model: P103G is the 2-in-1, while P117G is the clamshell. You'll also find a 7-character Service Tag on the same label, which our team uses to look up your exact factory build. For step-by-step help, see our Dell laptop model number guide.
02 How is the 9310 2-in-1 different from the 7390 2-in-1 or the 9315 2-in-1?
Dell's XPS 13 convertible line went through three iterations that are easy to mix up. The XPS 13 7390 2-in-1 (2019) uses the same MagLev-keyboard chassis as the 9310 2-in-1 but with older 10th-gen Ice Lake processors (chips ending in G1, like i7-1065G7) — check your CPU in msinfo32 to tell them apart. The XPS 13 9315 2-in-1 (2022) is a complete redesign into a detachable Surface-style tablet with a removable keyboard cover — if your keyboard clips off magnetically, that's the 9315 and it belongs on its own sell page. If you have a fixed 360-degree hinge and an 11th-gen Intel chip, you're in the right place. For a full list of XPS models we buy, visit our Dell XPS trade-in category.
03 Can I trade in an XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 that has wear or system issues?
Yes, you can. We purchase laptop hardware in all operational states. Whether your convertible runs like new, has a swollen battery pushing up the trackpad or bottom cover (a known issue on this and related XPS 13 generations), suffers from a cracked touch screen, has hinge play, MagLev keyboard sticking, or won't power on at all, adjusting your condition grading choices above will lock in a firm cash value. Our technicians test every device on arrival, so being upfront about any known issues avoids a revised offer later. Because the RAM is soldered on this machine, memory-related faults have a bigger impact than on laptops with removable modules — but even non-functional units still carry meaningful salvage value thanks to the premium touch display, aluminum chassis, and Thunderbolt 4 hardware.
04 Which internal configurations raise my 9310 2-in-1 trade-in value the most?
Many people don't realize how much the display choice matters on this specific ultrabook — the UHD+ (3840 × 2400) touch display was a premium factory upgrade that resale buyers actively seek out, and it consistently commands a stronger payout than the FHD+ configuration. After the display, the Core i7-1165G7 processor, a full 32GB LPDDR4x RAM kit (particularly valuable since it's soldered and can't be upgraded later), and a 1TB or 2TB SSD will all elevate your final check amount. Because the 2-in-1 is often bought for note-taking and design work, including the original Dell Active Pen in the box (if you have it) can also modestly boost the payout. Select your exact specs above and the offer updates automatically.
05 Should I wipe my SSD first, and what is the payout process?
We highly encourage saving your local personal files (including any handwritten pen notes stored in OneNote or similar apps) to an external drive or cloud storage, signing out of your Microsoft, Dell, and any productivity or creative software accounts, and running a factory reset via Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC before packaging. If your unit was managed by a corporate IT team or school district, be sure to release it from Intune / Autopilot enrollment first — otherwise the device may re-lock itself when it connects to the internet. You do not need to unscrew or pull out the M.2 SSD yourself; our technical team handles certified, multi-pass data sanitation on all incoming drives — review our data erasure protocols for details. Once your laptop arrives and our intake team wraps up functional testing, payment is approved within two working days via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or a mailed check. The prepaid, insured shipping label is completely free. New to this? Our full how it works page walks through every step.
