Hello this is the second time asking you but can you please do a review on the new msi ge68hx? it's ok if you can't but if possible tell me and thanks!
Love how within 15 seconds of the video you've already summed up the XPS well. Also a 40W GPU (30W maximum TDP effectively) with a 2000P screen, really Dell?
well to be fair... every laptop that isn't designed for gaming is gonna have a overkill display for the GPU. Some people still to this day don't understand basic computer hardware and will spend ridiculous amounts of money on a laptop simply because it has a nice looking screen and sturdy metal design. It is the reason Macs exist, its the reason Dell XPS line exists. Stupid people that have money.
@@TheUchihasparky That is a silly statement as Macs also walk the walk, whereas the XPS tasks the talk but falls flat on its face. When Apple has changed PCs with innovation, people always spurt their anti-Apple rhetoric. The Apple Silicon chips were the first revolution in PCs since forever so your comment is hard to make sense of; more hate than making any sense.
@@TheUchihasparkyThat GPU TDP though is a joke in my eyes and whilst you mightn't game with it, it's a stupid amount of money to drop on a laptop for web browsing etc. Stuff like the Asus ROG Zephryus G14 would put this XPS to shame in regards to performance.
THE GPU is a joke but this has been the same story for previous models. The XPS 15 with 4070 is marketed at 50 watts but clocks all the way back to 35-40 watts when actually gaming.
Bruv. DELL has been far behind competition since 2016, 2017 I believe. Both XPS and Alienware lineup. Even when gaming laptops get so good in 2021, DELL was still incredibly TERRIBLE.
The value on this just isn't there and the design decisions (similar to ones that Apple realized were bad ideas years ago) are off putting. Buy an ASUS Zenbook or g14 if you want a 14 inch Windows laptop.
Or the excellent HP Spectre 14 2024. Apart from the lack of a dGPU option (although the XPS 14 is stuck with a near minimum wattage RTX 4050, so not great anyway) and the lack of a 64 GB of RAM option (personally, for these types of laptops for general users, 32 GB of RAM is fine), the HP Spectre beats the Dell XPS 13 and 14 hands down. And it's cheaper too! I've seen it with 32 GB of RAM and 2 TB of storage for $1,900. That's really great given it also has the 120 hz OLED touch screen on _all_ models. Literally do not buy the XPS lineup this year.
I'd go for the Zephyrus G14 with the Ryzen 9 processor. You get the best of both worlds if you want great battery life while also having good performance for gaming.
The new 2024 XPS 14/16 is such a letdown! The weak capacity touch keys, loud fans, short battery life, and overheating issues made me return mine after three weeks of use! I do recommend them at all. For the $2k+ price tag, they really messed up.
max profit, cut every corner you can get away with.Then the corners that'd be deal breaker for some people, you turn into upsell items (pay extra $ for GPU which sucks anyway, pay extra $ for 120hz OLED that you can't fully utilize, etc).
They could put it in, but with 99% of the world not even using Wi-Fi 6e, I suspect Dell thought that this year didn't matter. Especially as this is an ultrabook and wifi 6e is probably overkill.
It's amazing that Dell could design a laptop with an inferior keyboard to save space while still being much slower, heavier, thicker, and more expensive than G14!
The XPS 15 is still available on Dell's website and it's going to give you a way better experience than the 14 or the 16. You can get up to an i9 with a 4070, 64GB of Memory, and 8TB of storage for less than getting a Dell XPS 14 with only 4TB of storage, a 4050, and a Core Ultra 7. 3449 for the XPS 15, and 3789 for the XPS 14.
But the build quality on the 15 is trash and they never updated the motherboard. Old motherboard with 13th gen CPU is a heat disaster waiting to happen. The Dell XPS 17 doesn't have the motherboard nor build quality issues like the XPS 15. Only issues with Dell XPS 17 are the lack of portability and 720 web cameras. The web camera isn't too big of an issue if you never show your face on a Teams or Zoom meeting call.
Thank you so much for including linux support!!! Not sure if you included them before too but I really appreciate it! (p.s. if you can go into a bit more detail that would be even better. perhaps a linux distro installed on a separate external ssd/hdd that u can boot into?)
Ubuntu 24.04 is out, but I'd only expect the Wi-Fi to be fixed out of the box; the speakers on some 2023 laptops from Razer, Asus, and Dell have still been reported not to be working and the camera on recent Dell XPS laptops require firmware blobs afaik.
@@cameronbosch1213 thats just normal new hardware issues with linux. Give it a year and everything should work. I had speaker issues and subscribed to a mailing list through bugzilla and was constantly updated on the progress the community is making. Not too long later people already had patches available for you to patch your own kernel with. A year later (or less I'm not sure), the patches were then released on the latest kernel version. Now the only issues are nvidia related. Never buying an Nvidia gpu again (unless these are fixed). Fk nvidia.
Update: The Linux kernel version 6.10 will fix the Cirrus speakers not working on Linux (Cirrus is the brand many laptops from 2023 & 2024 used) but you might have to wait until Ubuntu 24.10 to get that kernel version, which doesn't release until October. Or you could use a different distro.
Somehow something wrong happened with the XPS Lineup over the years, I remember that few years back the only thing missing with XPS was better thermals. Now I think that the 2024 Zephyrus are the more correct progression of the XPS lineup instead of this. Great display, better thermals, better efficient components. Imho
I avoid Dell laptops since they issued Dell XPS 9500 with defective screen. It freezes when you work and you can't do anything until reboot. It has become work properly only after entire screen replacement.
Hard to believe i got my first gaming laptop back in 2017. The Dell 15 inch, i forgot what the model was called, but it was the same one Ned had in Spider-Man homecoming. Good times 😢
"I never thought that I would see a Blade 14 looking competitive. But Dell have managed to pull it off." Hahahaha! Yup, the XPS ship has sailed for me. 7590, 9500, and then 9530 (i9 4070, fhd). I've moved to Lenovo. I got the 2023 Legion Slim 7i (i9, 4070, 16G ram, 1 TB ssd) at $2099 (CAD). The 9530 with similar specs, but 40w dgpu and lower res 60Hz ips, cost about $1K more. Ya, no!
I have an old XPS from 2018 that still runs; the battery goes in and out so it remains plugged in. My Predator Helios 300 gaming laptop died after 3 1/2 years of use.
I will never get a XPS till they put back those physical function keys. To those who are getting this laptop, good luck to you finding those Touch Bar buttons under bright environment.
The Asus ROG Flow X13 is another contender in this space, slightly smaller and more portable with performance close to the G14 but in a 2 in 1 form factor
I have the 2023 model. It has a higher tier RTX 4070 and 40 watts of GPU power (compared to 35 watts and only an RTX 4050 on the XPS 14) but is smaller, has more ports, better thermals, a better keyboard and touchpad, and is a 2 in 1. I can't find any reason to buy the XPS 14 over the Zephyrus G14 or the Flow x13...
Hey Jarrod, as we all know that 4050,60 and 70 dont go beyond 100-105watts, then why companies market their laptops saying that the 4050,60 or 70 fitted in their laptop is of 140watts?
used a dell inspiron for 3 years, replaced by a legion laptop after realising my use case is too much for the poor laptop to handle, which is also said by a technician after he repaired my laptop and found me testing the laptop by pushing an AAA game, in which he said it wasn't an alienware, pushing that hard will just cause problems if pushed for too long
@@nicecarphill i have a dell precision 5540, and it just runs way to hot, always throttling even while doing mundane things. But the worst is that everything is locked down in BIOS but since its from Work i didnt just nuke everything. TLDR to much power for the formfactor and restrictive BIOS etc.
14:00 Ubuntu 24.04 just released. Maybe that will fix some of the problems like the Wi-Fi, although that might not fix the speakers or webcam, as I've seen many other laptops not have working speakers and I think some Intel laptops have firmware blobs that are needed for the webcam to work. If you want a Linux laptop, try System76 or Slimbook's options. Heck, even Framework's Laptop 13 and 16 are better fits for many people while CPU performance is much better. Heck, even the raw GPU performance on the 16 is better. Sadly, no DLSS, but you better Linux support and amazing upgradability.
Hey, i would really appreciate if you can help me, i am new to PCs and laptops and i am getting a gaming laptop as i stay away from home for prolonged amounts of time Between the lenovo loq and Dell G15, the 4060 models, which would you say is better ? Also i know you said in a few videos you wouldn’t recommend TUF F15 but that was due to the price, so if it is a bit cheaper than the two mentioned above, would you pick it over them ? These are the only laptops where i live with a 4060 in my price range
I still have my Dell xps 15 7590 that I bought used for 1200€ in 2019(i7 9750h, 32gb ram,1tb ssd, gtx 1650). It's a shame Dell hasn't produced a single laptop worth the cost of the machine since then...
XPS 14 just dropped the ball with fewer ports and electronic F keys. Hopefully the XPS 14 gen 2 fixes those issues with the Lunar Lake CPU. Also, it really isn't designed to be a primary gaming laptop. It is supposed to be for engineering and content creation with some gaming on the side. Apple's M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14 is better for content creation, and Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is better for engineering and content creation.
I planned to buy this in July, but lately I have learned about the explosion of Copilot+ PCs. Seems like Intel and Microsoft made a fool of us by encouraging us to buy Al PC with Meteor Lake, and then there came info that Meteor Lake's NPU chip will be much too slow to run the new real AI features! Now I'm not sure if it's still worthy to buy XPS 9440 now - after all this buzz about Copilot+ PCs, it seems better to wair for 'XPS 9450' with Lunar Lake :(
I like that Asus made the better XPS 14 with their Zephyrus G14 this year. Also how tf did they make a 14 inch laptop that heavy considering that it didnt even have crazy cooling with vapor chamber
I'm glad I had waited long enough until the G14/G16 was released. It's a clear win compared with the XPS lines in many aspects, especially for the pricing of what you get.
Hi Jarrod! Awesome and comprehensive as always! Will you be covering the new Legion 7i Gen 9 soon? Very interested to know how it stacks up with a HX CPU in such a thin design. Cheers!
Hey there Jarrod. I love your content and your dedication to being honest and truthful in your reviews. I always use your videos as a reference point in this clouded laptop scene that doesn't always talk about whats what. A very interesting laptop caught my eye recently. Colorful, a gpu manufacturer, released a laptop; the Evol p-15. Here in the Asian market, everything is overpriced and what you can get for cheap is just pretty bad, which forced me to not buy a gaming laptop and settle for an m1 air recently, as I didn't want to compromise on screen colour gamut and overall quality, something that is important to me. Though this laptop, not only performs well with the hardware it has, but also is priced well even compared to international standards. For $1100, you get a 13th gen i7, 100w 4060 and a qhd screen with 100% of the srgb colour gamut. This is unprecedented, especially here in Asia. (For reference, even budget laptops like the asus tuf cost upwards of $1200 with modern specs out here) I hope you can look into this new contender in the laptop space, and evaluate whether these laptops are a good buy for those of us out here.
Hi bro Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16APH8 (82Y9000QUS) $899 and Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 (83DV00FXUS) $890 Which one is better to buy in 2024. Or is here any other Gameing laptops in this price point. Please reply. Thank you 😊
Hello, could you hepl me with Asus laptops? Which one should I buy (prise is the same)? ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 (i9 13980HX, 4080) or ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 17 (Ryzen 9 7945HX, 4090)
Is it me or does everyone single laptop you review end up being not worth the price? Why do companies charge so much for gaming laptops and still end up making an underwhelming product?
Which is better dell Alienware m16 R2 ultra 9 4070 vs legion 7i 4070 Leaving the cpu which is good buy please help me I have to buy tomorrow please help me I trust you with eyes closed 😊
Wow! Dell really failed on this generation of XPS. I bought an ASUS Zenbook 14 with the same CPU but no GPU and 16GB RAM/1TB SSD for less than 1/2 the price of the XPS 14. This is in serious need of discounts
Hello, Jarrod. Can I reach out to you briefly about a laptop I'm trying to purchase? I don't use patreon, so I can't join your discord unfortunately. All I'm trying to find is a good laptop for mid sized indie game development; I've been considering the Asus Tuf F15 (2023 model.) with the core I513500H, Nvidia Rtx 4050. Found a 16 gigabyte model for around 900 or so dollars on Amazon. I was also wondering if it would run Linux well as I don't find Windows to be suited for me, nor will I lose much from changing to a Distro like Manjaro or any up to date general use Distro. Hope to catch a few replies, thank you.
probably unpopular opinion but i think hp omen 14 would be a very good alternative if someone is looking for a similar form factor, performance device.Only reason i wouldn't recommend it is because it seems bit poorly built, too much flex and wobbly hinge. Lenovo yoga slim 7i 14" and zenbook 14 2024 models are better value overall imo.
I tried xps 16 2024 in store. The trackpad, keyboard and design are way nicer than my m1 macbook except the speaker. Gonna buy this just for the design and windows (more intuitive and faster file management than the slow boring mac os)
@@JarrodsTech there were problems with it? Don't know why but there is nothing on UA-cam about this series. Is it budget or something? Can you suggest any 4070 laptop that is quiet and not very expressive? Currently using MSI gt62vr and felt in love with lack of noise even under load, that's why I'm looking for other msis
We're thrilled to hear that you like the Sensel haptic touchpad in the XPS 14! Would love to tell you more about it and what differentiates our technology if you're interested.
I hate this laptop’s design due to lack of accessibility. How the hell blind people are going to use it? Yes there’s quite options for them but still. Dell didn’t want try to think about it… Lenovo’s new thinkpad’s product introduction videos clearly says that accessible design… like little textures. When apple introduced the touch bar I was also upset. Apple is one of the most advertised by their accessibility features. At least they could have some taptic engine. People does not want to understand how the physical buttons, keys are…
This is such a bad laptop if you're visually impaired. They could have at least made the surface on the wrist rest that's not part of the touchpad feel a bit different or at least lit up the active touchpad area, but nah, they hate good design at Dell...
It is amazing how Microsoft and the big manufacturers have let Intel basically run the Intel/Windows laptop market into the ground making it a joke compared to Apple and their ARM platform when it comes to power, battery, no fans, or Pro with fans that never come on, and great performance and great hardware. MacOS, well that is a different story, but hey, at this point, any Windows Intel/x86 architecture laptop is pretty much garbage. They run hot, fan noise, keyboards on fire you can barely touch and use, random crashes with the new latest Intel Gen they are trying to patch. The performance of the Ultra is pretty descent, below Qualcomm, but we can't use ARM now, it is still another year or so out on real compatibility and usefulness. Just like Apple went to initially. But at least a there is a ray of hope with the MS Surface build quality and Qualcomm chip, hardware is really good and when it works, the Qualcomm/Surface laptop are really good. Fan almost never comes on that thing. But, it just isn't reliable enough especially in the business World. IDK...MS Windows and Intel have hosed the laptop market up, honest there is nothing of any redeeming value right now in the Wintel Laptop market worth buying.
Xps 13 Intel 7 155h so bad, the battery with 40% processing maximum settings from power management only gives 4 to 5 hours. How about those who use it heavily maybe 1 to 2 hours? I got an old Surface Book 1 that worked 3 to 4 hours same use and the battery was not good. And ram ... I got 32g which in papers so fast ... it's not. I compare running my task my old and new both are the same. To run it high I think I need to burn xps 100c ultra with plug my AC. I got so many Surface Pro and other brands and this is the worst keyboard ever. Who made this really drunk. So if you need hot and trashy go with xps 13.

The 2024 XPS lineup is what happens when a company copies what Apple does 3 years late.

If you want a Linux laptop, try System76 or Slimbook's options. Heck, even Framework's Laptop 13 and 16 are better fits for many people while CPU performance is much better. Heck, even the raw GPU performance on the 16 is better. Sadly, no DLSS, but you better Linux support and amazing upgradability.
Dell's really lost the plot lately, hopefully we'll see a return to form before too long.
I doubt it. We'd be lucky if we see any improvements by 2026.
let's hope it flops
Hey, i would really appreciate if you can help me, i am new to PCs and laptops and i am getting a gaming laptop as i stay away from home for prolonged amounts of time
Between the lenovo loq and Dell G15, the 4060 models, which would you say is better ? Also i know you said in a few videos you wouldn’t recommend TUF F15 but that was due to the price, so if it is a bit cheaper than the two mentioned above, would you pick it over them ? These are the only laptops where i live with a 4060 in my price range
I never thought I'd see the day when Razer would be price-competitive, even on 14' models.
Hey Jarrod! When is your Lenovo Legion 7i 2024 review coming ?
I still have my Dell xps 15 7590 that I bought used for 1200€ in 2019(i7 9750h, 32gb ram,1tb ssd, gtx 1650).
It's a shame Dell hasn't produced a single laptop worth the cost of the machine since then...
XPS 14 just dropped the ball with fewer ports and electronic F keys. Hopefully the XPS 14 gen 2 fixes those issues with the Lunar Lake CPU.
Also, it really isn't designed to be a primary gaming laptop. It is supposed to be for engineering and content creation with some gaming on the side. Apple's M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14 is better for content creation, and Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i is better for engineering and content creation.
I planned to buy this in July, but lately I have learned about the explosion of Copilot+ PCs. Seems like Intel and Microsoft made a fool of us by encouraging us to buy Al PC with Meteor Lake, and then there came info that Meteor Lake's NPU chip will be much too slow to run the new real AI features! Now I'm not sure if it's still worthy to buy XPS 9440 now - after all this buzz about Copilot+ PCs, it seems better to wair for 'XPS 9450' with Lunar Lake :(
I like that Asus made the better XPS 14 with their Zephyrus G14 this year. Also how tf did they make a 14 inch laptop that heavy considering that it didnt even have crazy cooling with vapor chamber
I'm glad I had waited long enough until the G14/G16 was released. It's a clear win compared with the XPS lines in many aspects, especially for the pricing of what you get.
Would this laptop be worth it if you aren’t getting the 4050 included and using primarily for college, or is something better for the money?
Depending on price difference, a macbook would offer killer battery life and still be plenty for similar tasks.
Hi Jarrod! Awesome and comprehensive as always!
Will you be covering the new Legion 7i Gen 9 soon? Very interested to know how it stacks up with a HX CPU in such a thin design. Cheers!
Hey there Jarrod. I love your content and your dedication to being honest and truthful in your reviews. I always use your videos as a reference point in this clouded laptop scene that doesn't always talk about whats what.
A very interesting laptop caught my eye recently. Colorful, a gpu manufacturer, released a laptop; the Evol p-15.
Here in the Asian market, everything is overpriced and what you can get for cheap is just pretty bad, which forced me to not buy a gaming laptop and settle for an m1 air recently, as I didn't want to compromise on screen colour gamut and overall quality, something that is important to me.
Though this laptop, not only performs well with the hardware it has, but also is priced well even compared to international standards. For $1100, you get a 13th gen i7, 100w 4060 and a qhd screen with 100% of the srgb colour gamut. This is unprecedented, especially here in Asia.
(For reference, even budget laptops like the asus tuf cost upwards of $1200 with modern specs out here)
I hope you can look into this new contender in the laptop space, and evaluate whether these laptops are a good buy for those of us out here.
Will there be omen 2024 amd and tuf a15 this years and when will it releas.
I only want to have an overview; would you recommend MSI to buy?
Hi bro
Lenovo Legion Slim 5 16APH8 (82Y9000QUS) $899 and Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 (83DV00FXUS) $890
Which one is better to buy in 2024.
Or is here any other Gameing laptops in this price point.
Please reply.
Thank you 😊
Hello, could you hepl me with Asus laptops? Which one should I buy (prise is the same)? ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 (i9 13980HX, 4080) or ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 17 (Ryzen 9 7945HX, 4090)
Is it me or does everyone single laptop you review end up being not worth the price? Why do companies charge so much for gaming laptops and still end up making an underwhelming product?
Are you new viewer? Cuz it is rarely happend last hear
Bought it. Its horrible.
would u recommend an hp omen 17 rtx 4090 intel i7-13700HX for 1850$? 4080 model is 1600$ is it worth the jump
Which is better dell Alienware m16 R2 ultra 9 4070 vs legion 7i 4070
Leaving the cpu which is good buy please help me I have to buy tomorrow please help me I trust you with eyes closed 😊
How if it compared with asus vivobook in same price? Which is better?
I am studying in China and I have seen a laptop with Intel i9 11900es CPU. But I can't find anything about it. Can anyone tell me more about this CPU?
15:57 100% agree! 😂
Is it really possible to use a double sided Ssd with 8tb?
Wow! Dell really failed on this generation of XPS. I bought an ASUS Zenbook 14 with the same CPU but no GPU and 16GB RAM/1TB SSD for less than 1/2 the price of the XPS 14. This is in serious need of discounts
I wouldn't even buy this for $1000. This is such a bad laptop.
Height and depth are same thing. Use length instead of depth.
Hello, Jarrod.
Can I reach out to you briefly about a laptop I'm trying to purchase? I don't use patreon, so I can't join your discord unfortunately.
All I'm trying to find is a good laptop for mid sized indie game development; I've been considering the Asus Tuf F15 (2023 model.) with the core I513500H, Nvidia Rtx 4050.
Found a 16 gigabyte model for around 900 or so dollars on Amazon.
I was also wondering if it would run Linux well as I don't find Windows to be suited for me, nor will I lose much from changing to a Distro like Manjaro or any up to date general use Distro.
Hope to catch a few replies, thank you.
Your tonal inflection is strong
Jarrod! A 2024 TUF review would be appreciated
probably unpopular opinion but i think hp omen 14 would be a very good alternative if someone is looking for a similar form factor, performance device.Only reason i wouldn't recommend it is because it seems bit poorly built, too much flex and wobbly hinge. Lenovo yoga slim 7i 14" and zenbook 14 2024 models are better value overall imo.
I tried xps 16 2024 in store. The trackpad, keyboard and design are way nicer than my m1 macbook except the speaker. Gonna buy this just for the design and windows (more intuitive and faster file management than the slow boring mac os)
Love to hear that you liked our trackpad. 🙌
@@SenselIncI hope it's better than the 2022 model, because that touchpad was terrible!
Will you make a Dell XPS 16 review next ?
Not worth it. Too expensive for what you get and all of the compromises Dell made.
10:18 you said 1200 instead of 2000
Those white backlit capacitive buttons look awful
Please compare 13700hx vs 13900hx vs 14700hx vs 14900hx
Could you do a review on Asus TUF F16 2024?
Impressive review!
whens ur Zephyrus G16 2024 review coming soon sir?
Why even bother with dgpu if laptop cant even cool it without gimping it. Another e-waste from Dell.

Bruh, what a shitty laptop and shitty upgrade options per dollar.
Alienware m16 r2 next please!!!!!
Hi man, can you tell me something about msi alpha c7vg with 4070? There is nothing about it :/
Haven't looked at alpha series since 2020 or something, hopefully it's better now..
@@JarrodsTech there were problems with it? Don't know why but there is nothing on UA-cam about this series. Is it budget or something? Can you suggest any 4070 laptop that is quiet and not very expressive? Currently using MSI gt62vr and felt in love with lack of noise even under load, that's why I'm looking for other msis
We're thrilled to hear that you like the Sensel haptic touchpad in the XPS 14! Would love to tell you more about it and what differentiates our technology if you're interested.
If it's better than the 2022 model, that's good, because the 2022 model was terrible!
@@cameronbosch1213 =) Quoting you on that, haha
what about the 16?
Nope. Still low wattage and not enough ports. And upgrade options are worse than the Dell XPS 17 from last year.
3:06 nice design?
3:48 yes it is
Do one for XPs 15 2023
Do the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16
Waiting on ASUS
@@JarrodsTech Keep doing your best, pal! :)
HP Omen Transcend 14 review when? TwT
I hate this laptop’s design due to lack of accessibility. How the hell blind people are going to use it? Yes there’s quite options for them but still. Dell didn’t want try to think about it… Lenovo’s new thinkpad’s product introduction videos clearly says that accessible design… like little textures. When apple introduced the touch bar I was also upset. Apple is one of the most advertised by their accessibility features. At least they could have some taptic engine. People does not want to understand how the physical buttons, keys are…
This is such a bad laptop if you're visually impaired. They could have at least made the surface on the wrist rest that's not part of the touchpad feel a bit different or at least lit up the active touchpad area, but nah, they hate good design at Dell...
Dells seem weirdly heavy. My
Work switched from lenovo to dell and my 16" is notably heavier. Its over 6lbs. Id never spend my own money on a Dell.
ive requested u alot times, but still irresponsive. Please a vid on legion 7i 2024
Zephyrus g16 2024??
It is amazing how Microsoft and the big manufacturers have let Intel basically run the Intel/Windows laptop market into the ground making it a joke compared to Apple and their ARM platform when it comes to power, battery, no fans, or Pro with fans that never come on, and great performance and great hardware. MacOS, well that is a different story, but hey, at this point, any Windows Intel/x86 architecture laptop is pretty much garbage. They run hot, fan noise, keyboards on fire you can barely touch and use, random crashes with the new latest Intel Gen they are trying to patch. The performance of the Ultra is pretty descent, below Qualcomm, but we can't use ARM now, it is still another year or so out on real compatibility and usefulness. Just like Apple went to initially. But at least a there is a ray of hope with the MS Surface build quality and Qualcomm chip, hardware is really good and when it works, the Qualcomm/Surface laptop are really good. Fan almost never comes on that thing. But, it just isn't reliable enough especially in the business World. IDK...MS Windows and Intel have hosed the laptop market up, honest there is nothing of any redeeming value right now in the Wintel Laptop market worth buying.
Asus ROG zephyrus g14 offers unmatched performance at a lower cost, plus its waay sexy 😍 and Jarod you know this 😅
I don't see who that "cool" mode is for. Who wants their laptop that loud?
Dell xps 16 please
Xps 13 Intel 7 155h so bad, the battery with 40% processing maximum settings from power management only gives 4 to 5 hours. How about those who use it heavily maybe 1 to 2 hours?
I got an old Surface Book 1 that worked 3 to 4 hours same use and the battery was not good.
And ram ... I got 32g which in papers so fast ... it's not.
I compare running my task my old and new both are the same.
To run it high I think I need to burn xps 100c ultra with plug my AC.
I got so many Surface Pro and other brands and this is the worst keyboard ever. Who made this really drunk.
So if you need hot and trashy go with xps 13.
Number 1 reason it's not worth it : Windows
Number 2 reason it's not worth it : Intel
13 seconds ago is crazy
"... and you know, that you ARE in trouble, when Apple has more ports than you do ..." 🙂🙂🙂
Acer predator triton 14 is way better than this in all aspects outside of screen
Bro even my MSI GF63 thin with an 4050 is performing better(no hate on me pls)
Dell thinks it's apple
Without having any of Apple's benefits.
Dell pickle❤
