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

Any good recommendations for college? Budget is $900-$1500

Tell us your preferences first. Will u use it for gaming? Do u prefer battery life over performance? How light do u want the laptop to be? If u don’t game, then MacBook is one of the best out there. If u don’t like Macs, then Dell XPS series, Lenovo Thinkpads, yoga slim 7x, HP omnibook, MS surface p

Dell XPS 16 : should I pull the trigger ?

Yeah I'm torn between this (though I'd get the cheaper X7 358H chipset as the gain of the X9 doesn't seem to be worth the extra £££ and probably 32GB) and the Samsung Galaxy Book 6 Pro (X7/32GB/1TB). I've had a Dell XPS in the past and it was great but the 2 things that have me swaying towards the S

Laptop recommendations

A bit late to the party, but I will "echo" some of the sentiments already in the thread.I am currently a postdoc in comp chem, and I started "messing with these things (e.g. linux distros)" since I was in HS, as many of our fellow nerds. The TL;DR answer would be that nowadays most laptops are decen

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

I suggest simple modification for XPS 14/16 2026.

I’ve used Dell XPS laptops for a very long time, but this is the first time I’ve encountered a gap like this. I have never had to make this kind of modification with my XPS 15 9510, XPS 16 9640, or XPS 14 9440. I’m truly satisfied with Dell products.

Questioning the quality

How much did you pay for it? A premium 16-inch laptop with a better build like Zenbook S16, Dell XPS or Lenovo Yoga Pro 9 can exceed 2000 euro. I bet you paid a lot less. Margins for manufacturers of Windows laptops are actually fairly slim, so the well-built ones are really expensive.

Engineering Laptops

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. Everyone thinks are big, hot, clunky, loud, and have shit battery life. In reality as long as you look beyond just specs, watch revie
