The XPS cases are more durable than the latitude
Eh… Maybe? I worked plenty with Latitudes but never even used a XPS, but Latitudes aren’t bad build-wise. There are entry-level Precisions without dedicated graphics, and at least here in Germany they seem to be cheaper than comparable XPS-Laptops.
The latest XPS laptops really seem like they wanted to copy MacBook Pros from a few years ago with the touch function keys and the barren I/O.
I never really understood the purpose of the XPS line anyway. If you want performance, buy a Precision; if you want a light robust laptop with decent I/O, get a Latitude; if you want a MacBook, get a MacBook.
With that being said the new naming scheme feels like a joke. What’s wrong with recognisable model names?
While the IT infrastructure of some businesses over here is abysmal, most companies should at least have hardware recent enough to support Windows 11; especially if they’re otherwise entangled in the Microsoft monopoly ecosystem.
Interesting they would recommend that, I mean it’s pretty cool of them but they sell antivirus software that AFAIK is only available for Windows.
Almost like they care more about giving good advice than making money… Impossible.
Did the quality really go down? I don’t go to McDonald’s very often but I think the quality has improved a lot from what I remember it being in the 2000s/2010s. It’s still mostly unhealthy slop, but sometimes that’s exactly what you need.
Granted, I’m in Germany; I can’t speak for any other country’s locations
He’s totally not doing it to get Trumpf to like him. He’s gonna get his own imaginary political role.
I was honestly on the fence of getting a MacBook recently as my first newly purchased Laptop, but ultimately decided against it.
Got a fully decked out ThinkPad P14s instead for about 1800€. Meanwhile the new M4 MacBook Pro starts at 1900€. But I agree that Macs still are good value compared other Apple products.
I’ll try to cut down unnecessary purchases and my sugar intake.
No it’s not? Literally just got a new passport and they didn’t say anything about digital passport
It’s the attention span shrinking as time goes by.
I have a brilliant idea actually; a video sharing site with a maximum video length of one second. “How much can you fit in a second? Find out for only $10/month”
I’ve only heard good things about Aorus (which is basically Gigabyte), though
Who green lit this? I really hope that person gets fired immediately.
The lack of any visual link to ASUS isn’t even the biggest problem for me; it’s that ASUS rolls out a program that (presumably) puts itself in autostart by default and just pops up without prompt at all.
Edit: There’s a fucking setting in the BIOS to auto-install ASUS’ bullshit software? And it’s enabled by default… jesus fucking christ
I hope so. Canadians are great, eh?
Not really, they gave me a choice (“feel free to”) and I chose not to…
I probably just woosh’d myself, didn’t I?
I’ve got no reason to hate you; I don’t even know you.
I meant Elon. Sorry if that wasn’t clear
Unrelated, but can I block keywords on the desktop site, too? The less I see of this fucker the better
I know that the XPS is meant to be a prosumer product but I think the comparison is fair either way, mostly because you can actually buy both as a consumer. Dell doesn’t lock you out from buying a Latitude if you’re not an enterprise customer.
Latitudes aren’t sold at big box stores, that’s about the only difference the target audience makes to the general consumer.
