43 hours battery life: Dell XPS 14 2026 lasts almost 3x longer vs MacBook Air 15 M5 in web browsing test

Having a ThinkParty, few hundred AMD T14 Gen 6 just came in.

Had a new P16s4 AMD arrive with artefacting out of the box, Lenovo cross-shipped me a new one within a week of my request. Send the old one back, no dramas. Had an

Linus Tech Tips - I Should Have Invested MORE in Framework April 21, 2026 at 11:00AM

I had a Dell XPS I had to repair a bunch (charge port died repeatedly, keyboard died) and it was miserable buying salvaged or 3rd party parts and disassembling the bloody thing without breaking it. Then a plastic tab connecting the hinge to the chassis snapped and... you could just never close the l

ASUS Zenbook A16 with top end Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme (X2E-96-100) now available for $1999.99

Surface are overprice and overated, far from a Dell XPS, a Zenbook S-seriee, a Thinkbook X ai or even a Thinkpad Carbon.. People who can preach Samsung or Surface never had a good laptop in their hands
