If this had been a MacBook, we're be reading about how it CRUSHES the competition and is a game changer.
Usual double standard.

Its because this Dell XPS 16 has a 1080p display which lowers idle watts, not only that its a LTPO display meanning it goes down to 1Hz. Apple's laptop displays are much higher res than 1080p.

Mainly thrifty shoppers who do not wish for Window's or Linux and don't have needs or use for higher performance (AND costly!) systems.

Frankly, quite a bit can be done on/with a Neo. While larger than an iPad the Neo offers more functionality and use cases 'out of the box'.

Surely a 'market reset' on what can be had & done with a $600 computing device.

Isn't this actually well-suited for foldables due to the USB placement on the left? That allows a foldable to just out on the upper side of the controller rather than the lower side (as with most right-side-usb controllers) where it awkwardly just into your body. The GameSir X2S is the only plugin/passthrough controller I've found that has this nice orientation with my Fold 6.

You lost your laptop, you blame Xiaomi, and no one wants to help you, you expect 1 to 1 free replacement?

Lenovo do offer free replacement for laptop loss?
HP do offer free replacement for laptop loss?
Dell do offer free replacement for laptop loss?
MacBook do offer free replacement for laptop loss?
Acer do offer free replacement for laptop loss?
Asus do offer free replacement for laptop loss?

Finally 12 GB VRAM on a 128-bit bus?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_RTX_50_series#Mobile
RTX 5050, 5060 and 5070 have a 128-bit bus width. It does make most sense to connect the 3 GB dense chips to the fastest 128-bit GPU chip (5070).

3dmark.com/search - Steel Nomad:
5070 Laptop (8 GB VRAM, 128-bit bus width): Average score: 2985
5070 desktop (12 GB VRAM, 192-bit bus width): Average score: 5304

While the current 12 GB VRAM gaming laptops use the bigger, faster and more expensive 192-bit GB205 GPU, many games at settings where 8 GB VRAM becomes the limit, would run much better, if 12 GB VRAM was available.

Laptops using the 192-bit GB205 GPU are most of the time big, heavy, and expensive. The ones with the smaller chassis are even more expensive and may still have a loud(er) fan (because the chassis is smaller) and/or higher temperatures (there's no free launch).

128-bit/32-bit per GDDR7 chip = 4 GDDR7 chips, each 2 GB = 8 GB VRAM (current).
192-bit/32-bit per GDDR7 chip = 6 GDDR7 chips, each 2 GB = 12 GB VRAM (current).
128-bit/32-bit per GDDR7 chip = 4 GDDR7 chips, each 3 GB = 12 GB VRAM (new).

5090 MaxQ (=300W TDP) 48 GB VRAM desktop GPU using 3 GB chips when, tho? Asking the real questions.

Very true but unfortunately positive Apple articles get so much more clicks and attention farming. Partly the reason why simple things get praised so much, because Google SEO just prefers it.

Quote from: Andreas Osthoff on March 12, 2026, 17:16:54Thanks for the note with the power draw, I will add them later in the other three reviews!

Hi Andreas,

Gentle reminder that you wanted to add the Cinebench R24 power draw with external monitor information to the M5 13", 15" Air and M5 Pro 16" reviews!
