I bought my Yoga Slim 7 (4500u) three years ago because of your advice, and am now looking for a successor as I am graduating soon and need more power. I thoroughly enjoyed this laptop for the past years, and even though I did not need a new laptop a the time, still watched your videos as they are a joy to watch. Thanks for your fantastic videos, I already look forward to the next one :)

    To add to your criticisms of the Dell Inspiron 16, I bought it paying nearly £1000 GBP. Some of the USB ports didn't work out of the box, one of them 'stuttered' a problem I have never seen before. After several calls to dell they started going on about me having to reinstall windows, which I didn't think would even fix it. I sent it back as I would expect the USB ports to work on a £300 laptop.

      My father loves apple and always had for longer than I have been alive. While I do agree I like iPhones more than androids I have always used windows machines.
      He does a lot of photoshop and editing and it pains me that he spends so much on a work laptop when he could get an amazing powerful machine for the same price. Yes I know a lot of professionals use Mac’s and they are great machines, but for the price is it worth it?
      He also only has 8gb of ram! How does Apple get away with that! Ram isn’t expensive and they put the least they can in supposedly enterprise level laptops.
      More than anything I wish apple had better laptops so he could still use macOS with a decent machine that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

    I have the XPS 13 Plus from work. The Pros: The OLED screen is great, the thin bezels make the package very small, Windows Hello Camera is blazingly fast, so is the fingerprint reader and the keyboard is actually fantastic to type on (I really really hate to type on chiclet keyboards) with nice big keys stretching to the edge of the chassis.
    The Cons: Heat is a problem, the trackpad is a nice idea but it simply doesn’t work. Way too often it doesn’t click, gets stuck on the vibration or even actuates a click when I firmly press on the bottom of the laptop. Battery is… a disaster with this configuration. The function row is interesting. I kinda like the idea though I wished it had some force feedback. It mostly works for me just fine but having physical feedback from a “button” is something I dearly miss

The chasis is metal and has a glass trackpad with solid feelibg keys, I compared it to the HP Omen 16 i think the one Vostco sells and that ome just felt cheap.

    Any further opinions on MSI Prestige AI 16 for someone who wants a lightweight large screen portable device. I like a high density display with excellent color range and a good keyboard. It would be a secondary divice for windows. Sort of like a Mac Book 15 air. Also battery life is important and a 99 watt battery should do well with those specs.

    I have to wonder how many of these laptops could be better if the manufacturers weren't so tight with Intel, offering them first dibs on premium models (namely Dell). The fact that the framework was able to keep up with the Macbook was very telling and just goes to show OEM's favor Intel's money, over keeping customers happy.

    @Max_Mustermann 5 месяцев назад

    6:25 - honestly, 1920x1200 doesn't seem like a low resolution for a 13.4" display. I have a 16" laptop with a 2560x1600 display, which is only a slightly higher PPI (188 vs 168) and there are no pixels visible with the naked eye. Plus a higher screen resolution on a laptop doesn't mean more screen real estate, as one has to bump up windows scaling to be able to see anything.
    7:50 - WVA in Dell's terminology means "Wide Viewing Angle" I believe, as opposed to describing the technology used. So it could theoretically be an IPS screen, although likely a lower grade one.

    ive only got a few things i dont like about it is that if you hit the top of a key, towards the screen, it wont register an input.
    the right shift key is smaller than it usually is and the up arrow is where i would usually hit the right shift key

    Razer has had quality issues for a while now. My RTX 2070 had a swollen battery making the track-pad inoperable and noticeable bulging. I removed it and it's back to normal, but now I can only use it while plugged in.. 🤡
    I ordered a replacement battery from Amazon, but the metal case was bent and looked like it fell off a mountain, so I returned it and have been using this laptop plugged in only for two years.

    In terms of repairability and upgradability, only Framework laptops are the best ones, if you want them brand new. You'll better off with a used business grade laptop that will give you better performance with cheap upgrades, like adding more RAM and slapping an SSD.

    I love my AMD-based Framework laptop. It's not perfect, but it is close. E.g. some restrictions on port placement with the AMD model. So far, my Framework is the best laptop I have ever owned, right up there with old Thinkpads back when they were still made by IBM.

    most seem to be nice slick slick-looking 13 and 14 laptops. My Surface 5 is like over 6 years old (got it at frys), MS hasn't changed much to it casing-wise. It was small back then, but all these ultrabooks are as small now. Why I went to a big pc 2 years ago was because my 5-year-old MSI thin stealth was just too noisy (fan noise). I just got an HP Envy 16 with a 4060 a few weeks ago and it isn't as noisy as MSI. I haven't game on The HP Envy, just productivity and no noise. I had a xps 15 maybe 4 years at work, it was nice too for my 3d Revit. I threw revit on my hp envy with the Nvidia 4060, no noise yet.

    I was looking for the Acer Swift Edge - not for the super thin and light body, but for the combination of things I didn't find anywhere else. I searched for other reviews and opinions on fan noise differentiate greatly - some say it's loud only on high load, some say it's loud during web browsing. Seems like a difference between each single machine. Some say it started with bios update, which forces high fan speeds even with low temperatures. Does anyone have some recent info to this?

    I would like to add with the surface laptop part. I have a surface laptop 4 as my work laptop (metal version) and a surface laptop 3 with the grey fabric keyboard I got from work for free and the grey fabric turns brown after a couple years on the palm rests. I have tried using carpet cleaner on it but they will not come off so avoid any fabric surface keyboards if you do get a surface laptop and go with the metal version which imo look heaps better too.

    • @EmilFDT
      @EmilFDT 5 месяцев назад

      I don't know how you used the laptop but, I owned a Surface Laptop, with the grey alcantara fabric, and it looked and felt amazing during the three years I used it. It did not become brown on the palm rests like yours did. My father's work Surface Pro also doesn't exhibit this behavior on the detachable keyboard; which is also fabric.

    In my opinion many XPS laptops (maybe Dell in general) should be avoided.
    I have read about and experienced too many common issues that stretch across multiple product lines and Dell hasn't fixed in years.
    Rattling speakers, broken waves audio driver, fans constantly spinning on and off every few seconds, power delivery issues that causes constant reboots (especially waking from sleep). List goes on and on.
    Signed, a regretful XPS 9500 user. If you still buy any Dell after reading all this, I can only warn you to get an extended 3-5 year warranty. You'll probably need it.

      I recently purchased the Latitude 9440 and it is has none of the issues you are describing. Matter of fact it is the quietest and the great thermals keep it cooler than any other high or low end laptop I have ever owned--and I have had multitudes of them.
      I also have an 8th gen top of the line Precision and that at the time was the best laptop ever owned. But I will give it to Josh that XPS 13 plus (i7, 32 ram), which I had for one week and returned, was so pretty to look at but was waay too hot, and the fans ran way too much and battery life was atrocious.

      Yep, I had XPS laptops for ten years and unfortunately, they got worse and worse over time. My latest XPS 17 (2022) model suffers from pretty much every single issues you listed plus the display already broke twice with phantom inputs. And I performed a clean Windows re-install multiple times and it doesn't help either.

  • @Bunta1987qwerty
    @Bunta1987qwerty 4 месяца назад

    Another addition to this list should be the asus g14. I’ve owned the 2022 and 2023 models. They both have weak cooling for the hardware, the bottom gets over 60C, and the top is hot enough that I wouldn’t let my kids touch it as well. The Liquid Metal works its way off of the dies, and the turbo mode is double the tdp for maybe a 10% performance gain. The screens are only 300 nits and 400 nits respectively. Lastly, they both tried to update bios without warning me, while they were on low battery which would have bricked them if I hadn’t plugged them in. They seem like good value for the specs, especially on sale (around $1000), but they’re basically useless.

    • @cameronbosch1213
      @cameronbosch1213 5 месяцев назад

      How much RAM do you need? If you need more than 32 GB or so, the Blade 14 is better. However, if you don't and you want an RTX 4090 (not recommended in a 14 inch laptop), then I would go for the Zephyrus G14.
      Personally, I have recently become disillusioned with powerful laptops, especially below 16 inches. There's only so much room to cool powerful components.
      I would probably build a small desktop for use cases that need a lot of power and get a Framework Laptop 13 or 16 with AMD Ryzen CPU as a portable laptop.

    I agree with whatever you said. Charging hefty prices without an ounce of common sense. We all know the cons of Razer & Dell XPS laptops for years now, & these companies don't even bother to address the complains. Even Apple's $200 upgrade for every 256 GB increase.
