Panther Lake XPS 16 is so efficient, it draws just 1.5 W when idling for insanely long battery life

[Redaktion]

The 16-inch laptop just barely cracks 1 W when idling to be much more efficient than most competitors. Real-world battery life tests show the system lasting for more than 24 hours of constant web browsing.

24 hours of real world battery life on a standard Intel PC. And all we get is mild applause.
If this had been a MacBook, we're be reading about how it CRUSHES the competition and is a game changer.
Usual double standard.

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.

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.

that is a blatant lie. their displays are absolutely not "much higher res". it's only a <15% difference and with the Neo is actually WORSE.
