The Dell XPS Plus I have been testing for the past 2 weeks has an i5 -1240 P-series processor There is ZERO fan noise doing basic office work or running statistical programs. Same with the P-series Lenovo, HP, and Samsung laptops I have tested this year. It is not the processor that causes fan noise, it is the activity. Doing video and photo editing activities will generate fan noise. Doing basic office and school work will not generate fan noise. Further all Windows laptops have multiple power modes.

No, get spectre x360 14 2024

Also, every developer is different. If you're doing front-end stuff, this beautiful screen and tall aspect ratio could be clutch, while a data scientist might need something with a little more umph. Me, I'm a second year CS student who's never made my i7-11800h meaningfully spin. Besides, the uni offers us access to their high performance cluster for the course Parallel Computing, for which we have needed to run a 16 core/thread application. Try finding that in a laptop. Overall I don't agree with you @someguy321 that he completely missed the mark, but I think he's shoving the 'developer' group too much onto one big pile. Little nuance might be nice.

My experience is very similar to yours. I got the 2022 model and its great for performance. I think the reviewers point was that if you are using it for anything other than casual use, the fan will ramp up so he advises that people use it casually. I prefer it to my MBP but that's because the MacOS tired me out. The storage also made me not a fan. This is just quiet and easy, until you start gaming or have like 5 desktops open at once, which is fine and completely normal lol

Love my subscribers!

Yeah battery life must be very good on it

I'm looking for the version that has the least glare as possible, I mean least reflection, the most matte display I can find. How do you feel about that with your IPS version, please ?

@@SrhLglt The IPS version leans more to a glossy screen, than matte. But having said that, I don’t notice any reflection on a day-to-day basis. Plus the screen can get get extremely bright, if needed.

I got the same one today and I absolutely love it! I do wish it had an OLED, but the screen is awesome.

@@SrhLglt The Spectre models (in recent years) seem to have used an anti-reflective glass (not coating) which almost completely eliminates reflections. I have the 2020 Spectre 13" & with very few exceptions i'm yet to see a glossy display laptop which supresses reflections better. Regardless of the lighting conditions & display brightness, you hardly see anything other than what's on screen. I'm just hoping HP renew the 13" Spectre line in 2024 with an AMD processor option. Edit - my model has an OLED display, not sure what the IPS displays are like.

how is it @pureninja I want to buy it too

3rd time is a charm for this one

Also I’m wondering how badly the 4060 will slam the battery compared to the 3050 version

Is graphic iris xe or nvidia in 14"verion?

Comes at a cost of its battery. I have one myself but the battery lasts around 4-5 hours of light use with the screen set to 60 hz instead of 90 and the brightness and volume set to 50. Everything else about the laptop would be fantastic for college, but the battery life is a dealbreaker for daily use imo

Which one did you get?

oh I went for an omen instead, because I needed a graphics card on my laptop for my course! I am very happy with it actually!

​@@afonsolp7is it touch screen?

9i is next

Only if they change something substantial. I'm getting tired of the minor Intel 12th to 13th gen upgrades. We know the result... slightly faster

Yes, my review unit had that last year. This years model worked perfectly though in my testing.

Not on the 2023 model. I wouldn't

Boggles my mind.

1. MBs don't have touch screens, pen support, 2-in-1 designs, 180 degree screens, OLED screens, 4G/5G, instant on (face recognition), no upgradability, poor repairability. 2. Let's not forget all the class-action lawsuits filed against MBs - cracked screen, green screen, connectivity issues, thermal throttling, key boards, etc. 3. There is a reason MBs only have 8% laptop market share and 99% of corporatins, small businesses, educational institutions, goverment agencies, and nonprofits use Windows laptops and computer.

Hey, was your laptop's performance fast, especially when browsing? I bought mine, it was very slow. I got it returned and got a another laptop of the same laptop and see if the other one wasn't working because of defects, but this one also didn't work that well. It's very slow when browsing. I don't know if I should just return this one and get a whole different laptop instead. I bought this laptop because it had good reviews but I don't know if it's that great anymore. It seems like there aren't any problems with it as well, it's just the browsing speed that's bad.

How so?

if you are going to need to rum virtual machines, nope, not a macbook. Most students get macbooks, but there is a reason most of the computer science students get a good windows computer.

@@LOU2179 Thanks. I'll wait on @JustJoshTech next programming laptop video to make sure.

@@LOU2179 Can't you run virtual machine like on any other OS?

@@KaramoSusso you definitely can, but I assume that Sanders point is that its far more practical to just buy windows so you don't have to emulate it

@@JustJoshTech the 15.6 inch HP spectre with ips had no problem with fan noice and battery is good, I’m testing them rn, 13.5 with Oled dropped from 100 to 63% while 15.6 inch with ips screen still had 84%. I was much more prefer oled screen but now I’m really disappointed…. I’m thinking about return both of them back since I now understand how good oled is comepare to ips, and how loud 13.5 is comrpare to 15.6. None of them makes me feel satisfied right now……

They come with the laptops. Manufacturers differentiate their models by providing them

@@JustJoshTech oh ok, i thought you all had personal collections.

No. 3 by 2 aspect ratio screen and poor speakers aren't good for that

Lenovo Yoga 9i or a Macbook would be better

​​@@JustJoshTechhi, can you please help me. I bought this laptop. Since the day i got it and used it for almost two weeks it's been very very slow for some reason. I returned it thinking maybe there was some defects with that specific laptop. I returned it but got the same model just a new different one because I thought the problem was with that one laptop I bought. However the performance of both laptop was very similar, although the second 1 is slightly better and that maybe because i haven't downloaded anything on it. The thing is, downloading is fast but browsing is also very important for me for school work, and in this aspect it's very slow for a 16 gb ram and 512 (SSD?) Storage. I checked it at my school's tech support and used the HP support on my laptop. I optimized it so many times but that didn't fix it. And my school didn't find any problems with the laptop. Maybe the wifi of my home is the problem, but i have another laptop that's very fast when browsing and i use the same wifi, that laptop is also 3 years older and has 4gb ram, so it doesn't make sense to me how that is faster than this model laptop. Do you think i should return this one too or should i keep it? It's such a hassle to return a product a second time and the store i bought it from were nice people. I also am not very versed in technology, so i don't even know what to get other than this model. I bought this model because it has very good reviews, but i kind of feel cheated having both laptops of the same model not doing good on browsing performance. It impacts my productivity on school work so much. I don't even know if the reviews are actually true at this point. Also the laptop I compared it to is a pavilion laptop, it's touchscreen but I don't know if you can use a stylus on it to write. I am thinking maybe I should return the Spectre for a pavilion laptop, but when I searched online, it says spectre is better than pavilion. I don't know what to do. And sorry for making the comment too long.

Yes I agree with you. Last time so many people said they watch it at 1.2x or 1.5x that I wanted to try one a little faster. Next one will be more normal

​@@JustJoshTech I hope one of them is Zenbook S13 oled I7 1355U.

@@JustJoshTech I am excited about Zenbook built quality it’s just the heating issue that I am skeptical about

That is not true. Please send me the time stamp when I said or implied that no computer under $1K could do that?

​ @JustJoshTech I never said you said that. What I mean to say with my comment is that if recommend buying a pc for browsing the web at that price, I feel like you are just doing free advertising and encouraging people to buy something they don't need, also I assume you never tried cheaper alternatives. I feel like that because for doing easy tasks almost everything is more than okay and you can't just say that this pc (for you) is meant to do those things (minute 0:50) at this price unless you have a good reason (like sponsoring)

@@JustJoshTech oh and I also want to mark the fact that I'm hard criticizing but It's not my intention to insult you or anything, I just feel I have to say that

​@@valimalidudu7991 I pride myself in offering broad recommendations for people at different budget points. In many of my roundup videos "Best of" I offer budget options. At no point in any video do I imply you must spend $1K or more for web browsing. That being said, >=$1K laptops are often better for this use case. For example the Yoga 9i has substantially better speakers which make watching streaming movies a more enjoyable experience. In fact, in my next video all the latops are around $500 USD. I get that you feel compelled to say that, but perhaps it could have been phrased a little differently :) ... and lastly, regardless, thank you for being a viewer and contributing

The chips aren't available

AMD does not run Thunderbolt AMB thermal throttles their CPUs And AMB only has about 10% laptop market share. Further the average person has NEVER heard of AMD, but they definitely know Intel.

Not in the current Intel range. Not going to happen

@@JustJoshTech there is no pc that could be a m2 killer or equivalent ?

@@ouzzz_6480 Let me be clear. For casual users and video editors from a pure processor perspective and things that go with it i.e. heat, fan noise, battery life - No. The M2 dominates. But PCs have other benefits - 2 in 1 form factor, touch screens, gaming level graphics, can run Linux. Check out my video on Mac vs PC. I do not think PCs are irrelevant, but you loose on the CPU to gain in other areas.

@@JustJoshTech okok thanks 👍

MBs only have 8% market share, so the buying public are MB killers

Actually, I found several Asus ROG Intel 13th gen laptops keep CPU performance on battery to the point where even on battery, they beat a M2 Max MacBook Pro.

@@cameronbosch1213 And they last 2 hours...

exactly, all the frickin windoof laptop machines are trash! they are really far behind in performance, not even fair to compare :D

@@KaramoSusso Performance? No they are not. Intel 12th gen and 13th gen, not to mention AMD Ryzen 7045 EASILY beat Apple's best silicon. Battery life on the other hand you are correct. That IS a benefit of Apple Silicon, but the software and hardware lock-in is too much for me.

@@EliorHallo 3 - 4, but otherwise, you are correct. That IS one advantage Apple Silicon has. Though I'm waiting for RISC-V to demolish Apple Silicon in a few years.

@@JustJoshTech my $740 Thinkpad X13 gen 2 5650U that I bought end of 2021 begs to differ. im still in love with the machine. excellent performance (even in games 800P) and battery at low cost. i see many $1200 laptops these days that i are just not as good.

@@TheGrizz485 That is the most important thing. That you love the device you have. Everyone's use case is different.

both are trash compared to apple silicon

Unfortunately the chips aren't available. Thats why you don't see any Zen 4 thin and light laptops right now. None.

@@airjawcruz The market decides who has the best laptops and the market has spoken...

3 nm would likely be in AMD CPUs first, as TSMC is far ahead of Intel in regards to node fabs.

I don't understand either. PC Laptops have a big gap to close. 3nm on TSMC with apples chip design is really hard to beat^^

This one regularly goes on sale for around $1,250. I agree Mac is a higher quality, for sure. Plus it has better graphics. But this one has other benefits like tablet mode, touch screen, and it is cooler to the touch than an Air.

​@Just Josh And it doesn't have macOS, which I hate with a burning passion. And I can install Linux, and it WILL work, unlike Apple Silicon Macs, which Asahi Linux, despite being such a great project, hasn't left the alpha stage yet.

@@JustJoshTech I've had nothing but problems with HP. And they're worth practically nothing after two years.

Honestly, while I will always choose Android over an iPhone (and have a Galaxy Watch and Buds 2 Pro as well), I'll be hard-pressed to choose a Windows Device over a MacBook if they have the same price. The only reason why I went for a Zephyrus G14 last year is because I play games on a regular basis, and need apps on Windows for my work. Still, even my wife's M2 MBA is much better at everything else.

@@diwaalejandrogalvez796 Yep, if proper gaming is your goal (or running Linux) then Macs are still out of the question. For anything else they're miles better compared price for price. The Dells and the likes clearly got it in their mind to try and surpass Apple on cost (and lack of upgrades), without even providing more power in most cases. And they perform piss-poorly on battery. Mind you, Apple's war against 'repair your own' is starting to piss me off royally. And Samsung and Dell and the other idiots are starting to follow Apple.

Touch screen on MacBook when?

@@zkdd23 who needs a touch screen on a laptop haha this only creates awkward to use devices. Use a tablet for a touchscreen and a computer for everything else :D

​@@KaramoSusso alot of people need windows like me.

Yes, if you have a choice and are not restricted to Windows software, then especially in the ultrabook market, Macs are easily the best choice. Sadly, Windows have a natural monopoly where most gens over 30 is stuck in a Windows cocoon, unwilling to adapt or change. A monopoly like this will take a generation or two to adjust.

@@Anthony0855 Yeah I heard about that. But what is actually unique to windows? Is it company policy or what apps do you rely on that are windows exclusive?
