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
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/

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?
No, yours is immediately clear that it’s the fault of a third party app, mine doesn’t have such a thing, are you sure you are okay, like mentally?
