Dell XPS 13 vs Dell G15

The battery life is very short (4ish hours) and it takes a long time to charge (about 1 1/2 hours). The brick on the cord gets very hot as it charges as does the bottom of the laptop. Otherwise it runs cool. I really like that there is no separate place to plug in the charger

I originally purchased a gaming laptop that also served me well for just general use, and had a 1TB space. This one has even shorter battery life (should have checked the reviews and I would have seen 4 hours, if you aren't even using it for gaming) and only the 512GB drive - of course which the OS is taking residence on so even less space. Probably great as long as you have it plugged in, but I travel a lot, so battery life sucks. I guess this is the cost when getting a better graphics card?

Laptop seems to be working "ok" as of now besides the WiFi issues everyone has been having and apps like Netflix and Hulu not properly working. Another thing that is concerning is the packaging. I'm pretty sure I was sent a used product considering it came in a cheap cardboard box and not in it's original XPS box/packaging. Also the laptop itself was not even wrapped in any kind of plastic or padding or anything and I am at a military base in Iraq

just got this today so only have updated and installed software but it's very responsive and smooth so far. Going to put BDO and New World (alpha Amazon title) on it via steam to see how it handles gaming on ultra and such. It should outperform my desktop that's 7 years old and can do it, this best be able as well! Have noticed it runs a bit warm already just to let you know, I bought a cooling pad for it but that's coming tomorrow I'll use these small fans I got for receiver in meantime. Will update later of course
