XPS 13

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

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.

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 the 2025 XPS13 over a year ago. After 2 repair attempts I send it back for a refund and got the FW13 Instead. Saved 200 in the process (same RAM, storage specs, similar motherboard). Your use case calls for a FW13 - the pro is an option, not at all a necessity. That would take care of the p

Hi there. I just bought an XPS 14 DA14260 Ultra X7 358H OLED and I'm experiencing the exact same issue (mine lasts 4-5h), I can't understand what's going on. I'm very familiar with battery durations throughout XPS versions (I've owned all latest 10 versions of XPS 13). I still own the XPS 13 9350 Ul

My Dell xps13 2-in-1 7390 (also 2019) was absolute garbage. I wouldn't be surprised if they did some equally inept things. They didn't include a hibernate mode. Only sleep, with Wi-Fi enabled. If I tried to put my ultra portable laptop in a backpack without shutting down entirely, it would try to li

When I ended up getting a new laptop a year into school, I decided I wanted something with a big screen (I have a lot of textbook PDFs and will have e.g. jaffe open in half the screen and my careplan template in the other half) and with a solid battery life, and that didnt have an intel processor th

Every company offering Macbook Neo like specs similar to the XPS13 are only making small batches of 1000 per region is a good estimate vs the $899 model, a Solutions Provider I "pre-ordered" a similar spec is still stuck as back-ordered so that is interesting. If the battery life is near those specs

The XPS 13 (the $900 16GB model. Not the $700 8GB model) is not a bad idea. you can knock off $100 with a rebate for students However personally I would rock a m4 macbook air, which can be easily had on ebay (refurb cert, warranty, return policy) for under $850. https://www.ebay.com/itm/298167419968
