XPS 15 9530

Its expensive but even the prebuilt 385h with 32gb of ram andd 1tb ssd is competitive with like the dell xps 14 which is 100 dollars more (and has an oled over ips) sadly i bought a macbook pro 16 m5 pro to replace my 7840u framework 13 so im skipping this

What swung me to a Macbook Pro was that I had 3 or 4 machines bookmarked to be the replacement for my Dell XPS, once I had the money available... by the time I did have the money available they were all £400+ more expensive. I've just looked at one and it's nearly £700 more expensive now.

My daily use laptop is a Dell XPS 15 7590. Bought it in 2021 and barely used it for years until I got a job that required a laptop. Popped some fresh 16gb (32 total) sticks of ram, a 1tb ssd with a fresh custom windows 11 install. Besides the screen, it’s just as good as any modern laptop under $150

That Dell XPS is incredibly low value for what you are paying for it. It can most likely run it, since E:D will run on basically anything above a toaster. But only a 512 GB SSD is basically criminal for two grand. As much as I hate the bloatware they come with, I find the HP Victus line to be decent

Check out the College of Engineering laptop recommendations, they typically give the best advice for new students looking at computers I’m CCE, but for me a Dell XPS has been goated for both school and personal uses

E bakit kinoconsider mo pa mac in the first place kung issue pala pera? May dell xps naman or mga ultraportables dyan na windows, mas mura din ng konti

That model uses the Intel 7 355. The integrated GPU in that is the Intel Graphics 4 Xe3. Its performance is... not very good. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Graphics-4-Xe3-Panther-Lake-Benchmarks-and-Specs.1193658.0.html About the only good thing I can say about it is that it about matches the

Don’t buy surface it’s a waste of money, if you need windows get a thinkpad. Dell xps is also pretty good

There are a lot of late-cycle laptop buys, and honestly that is the same tradeoff, because every saved dollar can become a hidden maintenance cost. For your setup, the Dell XPS 15 9530 Refurbished is practical if battery health, display, and warranty window are documented, since it keeps a dGPU lane

Model matters most. You can’t generalize gaming laptops because they aren’t consistent. Some gaming laptops suck and the ones that suck seem to control the narrative. Everyone thinks are big, hot, clunky, loud, and have shit battery life. In reality as long as you look beyond just specs, watch revie
