Battery Life

So lightweight!

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

New job and can get any laptop under $1500.

It has a long battery life so you can leave your charger at home when you take it on the road. 15.6" FHD Display 1920x1080 IPS, AMD Ryzen 7 4700U, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe.

Performance

BEWARE!!!! Paid full price for a new one and received a used one!!!

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

Decent laptop hampered by a broken store

The ryzen 5850u is certainly a little beast of a CPU running on a 65W laptop. The 2.5k "low power" screen is the sweet spot for me. My fonts are super crisp, but I'm not wasting electrons on driving a 4k 13" monitor (which is silly)
