XPS 13

You said a lot, and I didn't read ALL of it, but what I read I agree with 100%. I've used linux since 96 and recently I've moved everything to Wayland because plasma was removing support for X11 and also Wayland just works better for arm SBC framebuffer devices in many cases. I use my work computer

I have briefly tried a Lunar Lake laptop (Dell XPS 13) and it did not feel as snappy for my workflow. PTL laptops are too expensive right now for what they offer.

I personally question how much software optimisation can be done to be honest. One of the biggest resource hogs on my machine right now is hilariously Spotify, at a whopping 1.8G of RAM split over 9 processes. Then I've got Discord with 8 processes at 1.7GB. That's 3.5G, or nearly half the RAM gone

I am Tony Stark. btw, its dual boot Dell XPS 13 9310. I use Linux mostly for school work. Gaming is lowky bad.

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

You're not wrong. The days of other *nix with graphical ui as a share is essentially nothing today. Soarlis is gone. Irix is gone. Next is gone... you name it, it's gone. It's essentially FreeBSD at this point, and it's not much. There's macos, but that is not applicable. I wouldn't argue that point

There is no XPS 13 with an Intel Ultra x7. You are probably looking at the XPS 14. The Dell XPS 14 with the X7 358H, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD and the 2-8K OLED touch screen is 2309 USD. The framework 13 Pro with the same processor, 32GB of RAM, 1TB SSD and Windows is 2299 USD. Not sure where you are g

But my bare minimum expectation is to not find my laptop dead in my backpack after putting it in sleep. This is a problem born of how Microsoft has implemented modern standby, not a hardware issue. I briefly tried a Lunar Lake powered Dell XPS 13 and compared the app launch times and excel performan

I’ve just moved from a 2/3 year old dell xps 13 i7 16gb to a 2020 MacBook m1 8gb and it’s so much more responsive and boots up so quickly!

The XPS 14 is a thin and light laptop specifically. You should be comparing that to the MacBook Air, not the Pro. But also, I'm seeing that the XPS 14 isn't currently being made, there's either the XPS 13 or their '14 Premium' currently. Regardless of which of those you want to look at, neither have
