What is a brand that used to be the 'Gold Standard' of quality but is now absolute garbage?

Dell XPS completely went to shit.

Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry

The problem is that even the higher end laptops tend to be terribly made. I have gone through multiple Dell XPS laptops where the screen attachment hinge has delaminated from the body. Same problem across several generations of relatively high end machine because they cheaped out on the construction

43 hours battery life: Dell XPS 14 2026 lasts almost 3x longer vs MacBook Air 15 M5 in web browsing test

Yeah XPS never again. I have got one in 2017 XPS 15 battery went bust 3 years later with Dell stopped producing the battery so the only replacement was with Chinese cheap knock offs. Buy a nice Thinkpad, that will last, battery takes 30 minutes to change and plenty of spare parts around.

Šta mislite o Macbook Neo?

noup, svaki dan radim sa novim laptopovima i sve su lošijeg i lošijeg kvaliteta. Danas sam spremao tri nova Lenovo e16, košta negde oko 1,300€ manje više i bože sačuvaj za te pare ja ne znam evo. Pre toga Dell XPS koji je još i skuplji, bučni dok se apdejtuju, sama izrada kućišta, svaki otisak prsta

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’

Panther Lake XPS 16 is so efficient, it draws just 1.5 W when idling for insanely long battery life

incredibly fucked up world we're living in where a dell xps has lower idle power draw and worse I/O than a macbook pro.

Having a ThinkParty, few hundred AMD T14 Gen 6 just came in.

I feel this so hard. Just started as new head of IT at an SMB, and am replacing our existing mixed fleet of HP and Dell with ThinkPads. Had a new P16s4 AMD arrive with artefacting out of the box, Lenovo cross-shipped me a new one within a week of my request. Send the old one back, no dramas. Had an

Is it possible to run an M1/M2 macbook air logic board independently?

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.
