Title: Dell XPS 16 Core Ultra X7 358H review: Out with Nvidia, in with Intel Arc B390
Post by: Redaktion on April 11, 2026, 20:28:32
For $400 more than the base model, the Core Ultra X7 XPS 16 configuration offers more RAM, more storage, and significantly more performance without needing to up fan noise, power consumption, or temperatures.

1.4w in standby? STANDBY, when only RAM should be suspended.

This is joke.

Dell� lost the plot.

They better get their house in order or Apple is gonna have them for breakfast... And this applies to all Windows laptop manufacturers in general.

It is now normal to be able to chose MacBook on many corporates. The only market moat Windows has is gaming, and that one is at risk too with the advances of Proton in Linux.

Tick tock Microsoft, Dell and friends.

How are you giving 87% rating to laptops with 240 Hz PWM? They will start burning sensations in eyes of the user in 30 minutes after use.

QuoteCON: OLED resolution is 3.2K instead of 4K
QuoteMinimum: 23.39 cd/m²
Again this author shines with total incompetence like in the Expertbook Ultra review.
One of the reasons the Dell has this sh*tty battery life is surely the oled screen.
The resolution for a 16" would be even with 2.5K more than enough and the battery way better.
Putting the 3.2K under cons because it doesnt higher 4K res is plainly stupid.
Nobody could distinguish the difference in pixels with 16", but clearly the useless impact on battery.

Also 23 cd/m as minimum brightness is also BS* .
Never heard of any oled display with this high of a minimum brightness.
If you dont know, what you're writing, pass along the article to others.
