Ok Lenovo USA, where are the Intel Panther Lake laptops?

I still haven't seen the HP Elite G2i out yet either. Only seeing Dell XPS w/ that awful keyboard/mouse..it's hopelessly bad.

I was at CES today and saw the Dell XPS

Awful keyboard with no function-keys. I would have considered it, but the keyboard is a dealbreaker for me. I bought an XPS 16 (9640) this summer and I hate that I have to bring a separate keyboard everywhere. Tbh, I really hate the machine.

Dell Premium 14/16 decision

First, you don't discuss what you need it for, and why you're upgrading now. This is important, as other than the size this will drive a lot of the decision. If you don't need the highest-power processor and/or a high end dGPU (and you're US-based) DellRefurbished is selling the Precision 5570 for a

Which laptop has the puffiest, juiciest keyboard?

I use a XPS 13 7390 at work. Chat and email support with the occasional phone call. This IMO was the last generational release of XPS notebooks that had amazing keyboards. My XPS 16 9640 I use at home is terrible to type on so I sub in a Logitech MX Mini.

The evolution of laptops

I want a framework but the company said XPS 16 9640 and the keyboard is total ass. I went back to my XPS 15 9500 and didn’t tell IT. I suspect I’m not the only one since nobody has asked or “noticed”. (New machine is the dark graphite color and my old machine is light silver, kinda obvious.)

Dell latitude 5410 paint peeled of

Yes! And unsurprisingly the line is ending with their worst keyboard and trackpad design. XPS 13 7390. Aluminum and Carbon Fiber. Kinda slow though. XPS 15 9550.Aluminum and Carbon Fiber. XPS 16 9640. Aluminum and Glass with a new shitty keyboard and trackpad full of regrets. Started on the 13, bump

XPS 16: Worth it under $1000?

Dell Outlet in the US (not "DellRefurbished," which is lease returns) tends to have better quality control than new, and has the same warranty. If you can find the configs you need, it is the best way to buy Dell. The keyboard sucks rocks. It's not just the lack of real function keys (without even a
