XPS 16 9640

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

You ever solve this? After going through everything you have described with my xps. For me what finally got my 4080 being used was Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings>change advanced power settings>PCI Express>Link State Power Mgmt>Set to off Xps 16 9640 Windows 11 pro

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.

I have been in the it industry for close to 30 years, so I feel I have a good handle on what I need internally... I was looking to get some insights on form factor experience. Given the point of comparison is a 2018 model that's two chassis back (the XPS 9570) even the 16" will feel quite a bit thin

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

I would beg to differ. First of all, even if it is a Windows laptop, DONT get a gaming laptop because many have cheap build quality and low battery life - but there are a few options that do not follow this trend. Instead something like a Dell XPS with a GPU is great. And of course one can get a Mac
