43 hours battery life: Dell XPS 14 2026 lasts almost 3x longer vs MacBook Air 15 M5 in web browsing test
Dell XPS 14 & 16 is designed to rival MacBook Pro 14” & 16”. putting it against the Air is just weird in the first place and intentionally misleading for the people less familiar with this stuff… not to mention the Air models have significantly smaller battery capabilities than the Pros MacBook Pros

This makes zero sense laptops never last as long as they say they will. But WHY?
There was a time when this was absolutely true. Panther Lake (and lunar lake before it) has closed the gap. Notebookcheck actually does idle power consumption tests. The Dell XPS 16 running Panther Lake averages 1.3w-4.6w at idle. The best performing Macbook averages 1.5w-9w at idle. Your right in r

Dell XPS 13 9370, I got this bad boy for about 57$ USD
Funny. I just rescued an XPS 15 9500 from the recycle bin at work. Stole RAM from another machine that had two 8GB sticks but had a bad mobo, popped in a $40 Dell OEM battery off eBay, and it works perfectly! It’s spotless. Apparently it died a few months into use and they never do anything with jt

XPS 13 - Batteries any better in newer models?
My XPS 16 9640 with a Ultra 9 CPU goes for 7-8 hours running the screen on 80% brightness doing development work, running WSL2 (Ubuntu) and some Docker containers (Docker running in Ubuntu). Watching movies on full brightness I'd estimate I'd still get 6-7 hours out of it. As an added bonus, the fan

XPS 15 9500 - 5 years old... looking for a replacement.
I swapped my previous XPS 17 9700 i9/64GB, for an XPS 16 9640 with Ultra 9 and 32GB memory... The XPS 17 9700 was a disaster from start and during the first six months, had the motherboard replaced twice, the screen, Bluetooth module and memory sticks replaced once over. I'm sorry to say things didn

Latitude vs. XPS laptop for medical school
I have an XPS 16 9640 Core 9 Ultra/RTX-4070/64GB/2TB/OLED-Touch in Black and it is a wonderful, but dense mother effer. Fast, heavy, 4-6 hours battery. Exceptionally happy with it. The 4070 is definitely thermal/power kneecapped but for me it was the lower cost config as there as a $1,350 discount o
