  • I'm sure it's got a HUGE battery...

    From Alan@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 14 18:11:10 2023
    ...and that's all that counts, right!

    'For one, I only averaged three hours and 35 minutes of battery life,
    which would be a big problem even if everything else about this device
    was incredible.'

    <https://www.theverge.com/23630381/dell-latitude-7330-review-design-specs-price-features>

    And the reviewer goes on:

    'But even while on power, I could feel the thing chugging toward the
    higher end of my workload. For example, while I was operating a second
    screen over Thunderbolt, loading some files from external drives,
    running a few downloads, and trying to work over that in 20-ish Chrome
    tabs, the Latitude had visible slowdown. I don’t see this as an
    unrealistic office workload, so that’s concerning.'


    'My test unit (MSRP around $3,150, currently listed at $2,047) includes
    a vPro Core i7-1265U, 512GB of storage, and 16GB of memory. '

    Comparing a Latitude 7330 to a Mac of the same price:

    The 13" MacBook Pro gets you FAR more battery life (even if you want to
    argue that Apple's numbers are exaggerated)...

    ...and it costs nearly $400 dollars LESS!
