XPS 16 9640

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.

This. I have the XPS 16 9640 so basically the same laptop but chungus version. When the system is in this severe of a hard-stop crash, it takes an awkward amount of time holding down the power button for the system to fully power off.

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).

I think XPS 16 9640 is significantly different than the previous XPS 15 models, and this is because you have no problems. But the XPS 16 is simply problematic with Linux (I am running Linux on mine since about November last year. It was not perfect but I can manage it).

To quote Biden and Kamala, "don't."I have used Dell laptops (XPS) and still have a Dell XPS 9340 Intel Ultra 7 155h laying around, catching dust.Laptop + Windows + Dellis a death combo, and I know what I'm talking about. Dell always installs its software, which messes up the system; it updates the B

The worst part is the fact that a lot of these really premium laptops like dell xps or asus expertbook depend on a lot of drivers that are not available on linux, so you can’t really switch without losing some hardware functionality (like touchscreens, high def webcams, hifi audio, etc).

I have an XPS 16 9640. After more than one year, Linux is still has issues. The webcam works on almost no distribution (even if it does than the quality is not ideal) - intel IPU6 drivers are poorly suppoerted. There are sound problems as well. Read https://www.reddit.com/r/DellXPS/comments/1b9ddhz/
