    Ive been looking at this computer for about 3 years and finally purchased it during a BB sale, I dont think I would be happy paying full price for it but discounted by $400 yes it is worth it to me. I replaced a 5 year old lenovo thinkpad carbon which I loved but it was aging . I think the typing experience is superior on the thinkpad beats the xps but I wanted a small package 15" laptop and this ticks that box. I dont game but just need something portable for light office work and bill paying- net cruising - photo editing on the go

      Well, I think you found a great laptop for what you need and for a good price.

    I got one open box, for a 13700h processor with basic and step above iris graphics its future proof for any productivity like office and adobe should be great but not for high demanding video editing or gaming but overall at open box bestbuy south of 900$ its a very good machine

      Sounds like you got a great laptop at a great price. Can't beat that!

    You're absolutely right that the M-series MacBook broke the mold. By comparison it makes otherwise good battery life look bad. I admit that my 16" M1 Pro (base) biased me against my 9530. It's my only "complaint" about the XPS. It's a solid, solid laptop. I have an upper-end iteration with an i9 and rtx 4070, 32G ram. This thing flies. Even the FHD+ looks really good.

      Thanks for your thoughts. I wonder what you think about the Snapdragon Elite X chips that should be coming out or Intel's future with the trajectory of their new Chips. Can they catch Apple, maybe even surpass them or does being windows based hold them back, Apple is to far ahead? Just curious.

    Do you think this could run AutoCad and Autodesk for engineering students

      @@nickcollins2021 I think it could but not that well. I think you could find something with maybe an RTX 4060 in this price range that would serve you better.

    Idk if you will see this comment but do you think this would work for an engineering student?

      Yes, I think it would work. It will limit you some if you get into large projects but I think you could make do with it.
