XPS 16 9640

The ONLY laptop I’ve ever owned that was/is comparable to my MacBook Pro is the Dell XPS, but even that still felt ‘off’

Yes! Exactly that. The Air’s throttling is fine. My use won’t be heavy loads. Web browser, soft phone, and a few apps. That’s it. Right now I’m stuck lugging an XPS 16 9640. They spoiled me with the Core9 Ultra and 4070 but… I very much do not like Windows.

Yeah TBH the victim complex thing is a turn-off. Like we have two brands with solid Panther Lake offerings that check a lot of checkboxes. Framework is ready for Linux out of the box but Dell seems to be mildly committed there too. I don’t see anything wrong with marketing being like ‘hey while you

On XPS 9640, the linux support is quite poor. Ubuntu 24.10 is mostly okay, but has many problems (depending on the Bios version long boot time or sometimes it does not boot at all). Sound issues with gaming on the Nvidia card. Unfortunately, Ubuntu24.10will be discontinued in less than a month, and

For the first semester, you don’t really need a computer, usually it’s pretty easy to finish the work in class. Although for the second semester, I would advise you to take a laptop, it’s worth it to work on the go! I did my first year of architectural technology and I can’t count the number of time

I was already leaning towards the Surface Laptop, but you've convinced me. You're right: the Surface is a more functional laptop. The only downside is that the 1TB SSD I had doesn't fit in the Surface Laptop since that requires a 2230 SSD, and I only have some 2280 SSDs. Ah well. I'm already preppin

You know you can install applications outside of the app store, right? Plus whatever doesn't have a native Windows application, you can use things like wine, parallels crossover but no I totally understand. I was highly looking at a Dell xps or Lenovo I think X1 carbon but for the amount of money th

Dell XPS is great, but its performance is significantly weaker than the M5 Pro, its multicore performance is at the level of a standard M5, and single, core performance is around an M3, which will be noticeable in everyday tasks. If this performance is enough, you can give it a try. However, for gam

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

Unfortunately, this is a practice that Dell already knows. On my Inspiron 16 Plus 7640, the TGP reported for the 4060 in the Nvidia Control Panel is 70W, but Dell blocked it at 60W. The same goes for the XPS 16 9640 with 4070...
