Lmao yessir Ima so poora can’t afford a machine that forces obsolescence every few years, made in a sweatshop, not allowed to repair, made a deal with ARM to kill off competition, walled garden designed, lobbies the governments, takes a picture of you every few seconds, preferred by the CCP machine.
Oh gosh if only I could afford a new machine every 3 years from Apple but it costs approximately $70 per month oh no so expensive ohmagod how can we mere peasants?
Listen dude you’re paying more to save a negligible amount on power, have a battery that lasts slightly longer than the competitors and much longer than anybody will ever need it to, and suffer much worse customer service. And you think its a status symbol or sign of wealth? You got scammed.
Every 3 years? regular laptops maybe last that long, but I am pretty sure macs last a fair bit longer, I was still working on a 2015 model in 2020 without any issue, only reason I stopped is I had to give it back.
I will be using this one for at least 5 years if not longer.
have a battery that lasts slightly longer
slightly doing a bit of heavy fucking lifting there, lmao. try 2x,3x,easily 5x in some cases.
And you think its a status symbol or sign of wealth?
I don’t, not sure where you got that from, I just think most people hating on it do so because they can’t afford it, which seems to be case a lot.
Frequent freezes and crashes on battery power, mainly returning from sleep. It improved after I uninstalled all dell apps and made various tweaks, but I still get them sometimes. This is a common issue, and well it really sucks. There have been a lot of bios and other driver updates coming out, I hope it eventually gets sorted. I don’t have the time to wipe my OS and do constant maintenance. I have a feeling a lot of this is Windows 11 related with all these sleep changes.
Sometimes battery drains quickly to zero (e.g. from 60% to 0 overnight with lid closed). Again, related to the new windows sleep behavior. I’ve disabled a lot of windows background sleep services which did improve it, but it has happened since still. Again, pretty terrible if you have to worry if your laptop will have battery if you close it with 60%. Forces you to keep adapter handy.
Battery life is not good. I got the regular non-oled, non-4k screen and very glad I did. The screen looks very good, and battery life is unacceptable with the higher res screens for a laptop. Dell really needs a QHD option.
There is also the drastic difference in performance on battery vs off, but that’s par for the course for windows machines.
tell me more about that 19 hours battery life, lmao.
as per the proof above, yours is bigger bullshit, or are we now okay with quoting manufacturer specified battery life and running with it and completely ignoring real-use-case battery life as long as it fits or preconceived biases?
Who are you bullshitting, lol, literally in the comments it says it’s the fault of a third party app.
I have also done more than 18 hours, so I don’t care about manufacturers specification, since I do have first hand experience, which you might dismiss as anecdotal but the thing is, I don’t care.
How long did it take you to find that reddit thread with the whole ass 3 comments btw? Lol

Whatever you need to tell yourself, lol.
TIL that 18 hours is 2x, 3x, or even 5x the 19 hours you get from a 2024 Dell.
if you think Macbook is a scam, not sure how you can say dell is good lmao: https://www.reddit.com/r/DellXPS/comments/12kk5to/xps_15_9520_6_month_review_issues/
tell me more about that 19 hours battery life, lmao.
I didn’t say Dell was good, I said your claim was bullshit.
You shouldnt be using sleep overnight to begin with, you should use Hibernate. Sleep leaves the computer on unattended. Skill issue on that one.

The 18 hours from Mac Book is also manufacturer specificied, and if random reddit comments are proof of widespread malpractice then here: https://www.reddit.com/r/macbook/comments/1d6jtuh/battery_problem_on_macbook_pro_m3_pro/

So my random reddit thread is bullshit and obscure but your random reddit thread is legit and relevant?
