    I’ve had two different XPS laptops over the years, I finally switched to MacBook last year and got an M2 Pro after hearing great things about the M-series chips and battery life. The XPS’s were good for the first year or two but after that, their performance quickly diminished and battery life was always not great.
    Could not be happier with the switch, and I can access my Microsoft apps just as easily on MacBook without issues. It’s insane the difference in quality and performance I’ve noticed between the two considering they’re very similar price points. Never buying Dell again. Still use a PC desktop though.

    I also have M2 MBP, and it works as expected, 66% reduction in power usage in LPM. Can someone confirm with M3? I called apple support, they told me to wait 2-3 days for feature to start working, because Macbook is new, I told them that it does not make sense, but ok...

    Nice. I just bought my first macbook at 49 , an Air M3 ..I've always been a windows guy. This video confirms the exact issues I've always had with my Windows laptops. Power/heat/fans and battery life and overall reliability that it's going to power on if I haven't used it for a few days. I still have a gaming Windows desktop but having a laptop I can count on with battery life/silence and performance the M series air is killing anything windows and I still run Parallels/Windows 50 percent of the time on the AIr. I'll bet the M1 air could have been close or have beaten this XPS with those scores you have.

      not a big of a diference, but go for at least 16GB of ram or you're done.
      if you don't have a big budget, go for the air M2 16GB 256GB, and that would work just fine.
      but if you have >1500 dollars or maybe want to have 1 more year of OS update, then get the M3 (still 16GB of ram, that's important) cause thay only have 512GB storage version for the 16GB one, but with this price range, go get a discounted macbook pro m2 pro then.
