XPS 13

Definitely a win11 problem, switching my aging Dell XPS 13 9310 over to Fedora Linux made it snappy again and breathed some life back into it. The problem is likely their recent push to virtualization based security and copilot, both of which are pretty resource hungry and can slow down the operatin

You're probably right that it being the work provided laptop makes the comparison complicated. But my bare minimum expectation is to not find my laptop dead in my backpack after putting it in sleep. I briefly tried a Lunar Lake powered Dell XPS 13 and compared the app launch times and excel performa

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’

I bought it even though I hate that 300 nit screen. so add $100 and the hassle of swapping the lcd. 16gb is plenty for my Linux use I plan to use Cachy and sell my XPS 13 12th gen Intel. Love that little machine but it’s way underpowered.

I have an IBP 14 Gen 9 AMD. Main issues I have with it are: Battery is about 70% health now, Intermittent sleep issues, Hangs on connecting HDMI sometimes, Some of the screws were loose on arrival, Video doesn’t work with my USB-C dock, No Ethernet drivers in mainline kernel.

I can't speak to the 16 as I haven't been hands on with one, but none of those downsides really apply to the 13. My 13 AMD edition has one of the best touchpads I've used on any laptop, reasonable bezels, solid battery life, an excellent screen (I love the 3:2 aspect ratio), a great keyboard, etc. I
