Windows on Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme is finally what Arm laptops should have been

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.

Microsoft takes on MacBook Neo with new 'value advantage report,' claims Windows laptops offer double the RAM for less money and up to 56% longer battery life

I've been pretty loyal to Dell and have had some good computers. I came from a Dell XPS 13 from 2020 that had served me well, but had seen better days. I tried the 14 Plus because I didn't want to spend another $1300 on a laptop. But it feels like you have to do that with Windows to get something th

Your pick for the best overall laptop brand?

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

Any downsides to buying a Windows‑only Dell XPS and installing Ubuntu myself instead of getting the Ubuntu‑pre‑installed model

Years ago the XPS 13 developer edition had the fingerprint reader replaced with a simple power button as the fprint reader lacked firmware support on Linux. But since 2020 even that difference is gone. Should be the same hardware AFAIK. Certainly makes sense for Dell to use the same hardware and jus

Linus tests the M5 MacBook Pro in low-power mode in the latest ShortCircuit video

I did it for you. I talked in person with enterprise sales reps from HP, Dell, Lenovo, MSI, and Asus who brought samples looking for a thin and light without a ton of deck flex and a decent screen. The closest I could get to the MacBook was the XPS 13 but it was more expensive or the Razer Blade Ste

Buying a ThinkPad X1 Gen13/14 just for a summer internship. Debating on whether to get a Dell XPS instead. I've been a loyal MacBook user since my first ever keystroke.

Dell XPS laptops tend to be hit or miss. If you're looking at a new one, be sure to test out the keyboard first or be prepared to return it. The keyboard is wacky. (I am looking forward to seeing what the Dell XPS 13 2026 model ends up being. It's supposed to be lighter, cheaper, and not use the sam

Ubuntu 26.04 - ARM computers

I have a Dell XPS 13 9345 (Snapdragon X Elite) running 26.04 on kernel 7.0.0-13. Broadly it works well. I don't have sound though and power management is still not as good as it struggles to go into hibernation, so if its not plugged in, it will drain to 0 overnight. Camera, wifi, bluetooth, plugin
