XPS 13

Battery life is mostly a platform property. You need to get all your ducks in a row from the low-level hardware all the way to applications. Hardware design choices by the manufacturer matter, and firmware is important too. In the end, with some laptops you get awesome power efficiency under Linux o

Wipe it, and install Windows 11 IoT LTSC. Never use the image that comes with the laptop. I’ve got the current XPS 13 9350 and this easily lasts me multiple days before I have to charge. In a day, I can keep going with ease.

I missed out on the first Framework by about a year thanks to my cat dropping water onto my MPB. Ended up with an XPS 13. 32GB ram and a 512GB SSD was good back then, and still good now, but my battery is below 70% life, I'm sick of the maglev keyboard, the stupid carbon fibre on the palm rests is g

I don't trust any of them. I'll have to buy a new laptop in due time because I can't upgrade the RAM. I currently have a dell xps 13 from 2018. It was basically the top of the line one that i got at a black friday deal for 30% off. Had to replace the battery once, which is fine, but now with windows

I've had several XPS 13's and an XPS 17. Love them, but my Framework 13 takes the cake and gets the most usage. The new XPS 13's have really frustrating design (e.g. Where does the trackpad begin and end? WTF did Dell do to the function keys???) XPS Pluses Very vibrant IPS screens (I always prefer t

Why is the idle draw so much higher than that of the XPS 13 lunar lake? I would have thought Apple's experience with smartphone and tablet mainboard design/power management would let them do better than that.

My old 11th gen i7 1187g XPS 13 would last 10hrs consistently.

I have an XPS 13, which is almost the same age, same form factor and a few hundred euros cheaper. It has 16GB of RAM instead of 64, and a consumer-grade Intel CPU. Now, the Speedometer 3.0 results are ~30% higher, real battery life is the same as IBP, sound and mic are both decent, the webcam doesn’

XPS-13 used to be great, until Dell replaced the line with the overall worse XPS13-Plus design (it's actually Minus). Framework 13 is great. Finding something that can compete with M-chip Macs on battery life is going to be challenging.

I bought my X1 Carbon Gen 10 in 2023 not because it's the fastest. I travel a lot usually backpacking for months at a time and weight is a very important consideration. It's also sturdy and well built. Good battery life on Linux. At the time my top contenders were X1 or Dell XPS 13. Having Linux ins
