Dell XPS 13 9350 or Dell XPS 13 9360

Hi ,
I need to choose between the Dell XPS 13 9350 which is a i7 6th Gen processor with 16 GB RAM and 512 SSD and a
Dell XPS 13 9360 which is an i7 8th Gen with 8GB RAM and 256 SSD .
My main use would be Word , emails and browsing .

I need to run Windows 7 and am told that processors till 6th Gen only support Windows 7 . Is the true ?

Also I am told that the Dell XPS 13 9350 has battery life issues - is this true ? Can it be rectified .

I have looked up refurbished n Ebay and both cost me around $900 so which should I buy for my need.
Thanks for reading my post . Please advice.

 

If you want to get patches for Windows 7 and 8, you'll want to avoid 7th or 8th Gen Intel CPUs. A shame that they've made this decision, but it's not worth running an unpatched OS. I think that should play a major factor if you want to run Windows 7.

 

I'm using Dell XPS 13 9360, I can say this is a great laptop with great features, everything runs smoothly.
Here is the review,

Pros:
super quick.
easy on the eyes
picture quality is great,
touch screen works amazingly!
read a lot about the keyboard being too shallow, i don't think so at all.
track-pad is smooth and responsive.
hardware works well (i'm not a gamer so can't comment on gaming)
solid build quality
(everything about this laptop is pretty much top class)

Cons:
-Webcam is at an odd place (bottom left) if you do a lot of interviews or something a long those lines it could get annoying.
-I've had WiFi issues (windows 10 problem, not hardware), so make sure you update all your drivers and bios from the dell website.
-It is difficult to open the laptop up, will have to use both hands.

Hope this will help to take decision.
