All set up and I'm using it now. As quick as the Mac for browsing and other general use, a better screen than the Mac, but the fans do run under load. Battery life is nowhere near the M1 Mac, but what is? Dell overall quality is about the same. The trackpad is a joy to use. Accurate and has a nice click action. The keyboard has a different feel vs. the Mac but is as good. All a major improvement over the HP.

Setting up the Dell was a very easy. Copied over the data files, installed the apps, and logged into all my accounts. Last item now is to recreate the Outlook signature files.

The combination of the his-res UHD OLED screen and the i9 processor yields a user experience equivalent to the 16" M1 Mac. Both are awesome.

And, when I get one more $8 cable from Amazon I'll have a dongle/adapter-free computer. The power supply, monitor and USB hub will all be USB C. All 3 onboard USB ports will be used, but my hub has 4 vacant slots.

And, I'm running licensed W11. Every app I had on the Mac, or an equivalent, is on here.

The HP is off to a new career running flight sims at the local high school for the spring semester.

You had to recreate items? When you "copied over the data files"?

How 1990s.

I had a USB A/USB C dongle for the USB hub on both the Mac and the Dell until I found a cable on Amazon that I did not know existed. It's USB B 3.1 male to USB C male. Never needed anything like that on the HP. Another learning experience.

So how much worse is the Dell’s battery life?

For a laptop, I like to minimize the number of plugs I have to pull in order to
carry it away…I’d move those onboard connections onto the empty hub.

Word is that MS has to wait for an “exclusive” ARM license agreement to expire
in early 2022 before they can officially support W11 to the Apple silicone.

That’s a bit tight for assuring no infant mortality failure risk from the new PC.

You have a few long battery life options that compete with apple, if it's something desired.

I have a program I use as well, but it's a bit different. Any horrendously
wounded sleep deprived whacko could easily do the same. Now that nobody
is responding to David Shill Brooks, he's making it sound like he's gotten
what he wants -- when in fact, people are just sick of his shit. David
Shill Brooks claims that he uses Windows, while you know he never used
it on anything but an emulator and really experienced it.

I just configured a kill filter and do not see the flooding. David Shill
Brooks's attack has made a veritable mess of usenet via Google Groups,
so I don't even bother trolling the group with my phone anymore. One good
thing he has succeeded at with this crap is that the David Shill Brooks
ban will never be lifted.

Battery life, based on some reviews, is about half the 16" MacBook Pro. Tom's Hardware tested both the new Mac models at 14-15 hours. The 9510 tested with the OLED screen from the same source was 7-8 hours. Still a full day, but nowhere close to the Mac. Good news is that about 10 screws hold the battery in and it's userreplaceable.

Interesting on the ARM front. We will see!

Will DisplayPort run off a Hub? The other two are the hub and power.

I hear you 5 by 5 on reliability. I have all data files backed up locally and on OneDrive. The HP is on indefinite loan, and I can get it back. I stripped all the personal apps and data file. It would take a few hours to restore all that.

I'm good with 7-8 hours. The UHD video is something to behold.

I’ve generally found all battery tests to be fairly optimistic. Plus it seems
that when one really needs battery life, there’s never enough. Case in point,
a long airport layover with limited access to power…”ah, my seat has a plug,
so I can drain it here…” is when that seat power plug is broken.

A good hub will.

This one will do dual 4K monitors, or a single 5K up to 8K:

A few friends professionally do IT support in education; expect it to

Odd, then, don't you think, that they don't list a spare battery among
the parts you can purchase for your Dell XPS 15, isn't it?

That is, assuming you bought the Dell XPS 15 9510: the only laptop
listed on Dell's site that matches the specs you presented.

And then there's this:

'Users cannot replace this laptop’s battery without support. Ask a
Dell-authorized technician to install a new battery or use an external
battery.'

What's your backup software, Idiot? Please tell me it's not what
Microsoft offers in Settings for Windows 10 (and I assume 11, although I
cannot claim actual experience with Windows 11 backup yet).

I knew that the 3 USB ports on the Dell were all I needed. Just asking a simple question, asshole.

OneDrive offline, File History local drive, the Windows 7 system with total C: drive selected on local drive, and a Windows Image done yesterday on local drive, asshole.

As I expected...

What precise model of Dell XPS 15 do you have, Liarboy?

It must be production run of one.

I have a XPS 15 9550 from Late 2016. When I upgraded the RAM I noticed
the battery could be replaced without too much effort. Just have to
take the 10 screws or so off the bottom plate to access it. Would be
considered a "professional" type repair but it does not look too hard
and am sure I could do it.

Assuming I could get the battery from Dell.

The Idiot's implicit claim was that he could deal with too short battery
life by swapping batteries...

....and that's why he's also known as "Liarboy".

One more thing. Some jackass companies(like Tesla) embed ID chips in
their products. So as to make you buy replacement parts only from them.
Dell may also. If the battery were to have an embedded ID chip in it it
may actually require a certified technician to "program" its replacement
to be recognized. Don't know that to be the case but battery
replacement "looks" simple enough.

No asshole, it was a swipe at Apple's relatively difficult battery replacements in some recent devices.

Never heard of that on a battery but suppose it's possible. Amazon has a wide range of XPS replacement batteries available.

And that is the precise machine about which the quote I provided was
written, Idiot Liarboy!

Do you see the search string in that URL, Idiot? Are you bright enough
to decode it? Let me help:

"dell%20xps%209510%20replacement%20battery"

Now take all the "%20"s and replace them with spaces:

"dell xps 9510 replacement battery"

And Dell's official word on the subject is:

'Users cannot replace this laptop’s battery without support. Ask a
Dell-authorized technician to install a new battery or use an external
battery.'

Then you should learn to write with better paragraph structure, Idiot.

You started a paragraph about battery life and ended it with a sentence
about the battery being "userreplaceable" [sic]. Explicitly, sentences
in the same paragraph are discussing the same topic.

"A paragraph develops ONE main idea through a series of related
sentences. This main idea is usually introduced in the first sentence of
the paragraph, called the topic sentence. The idea is then developed
further through the sentences that follow."

<https://libguides.newcastle.edu.au/writing-paragraphs/structure>

"Battery life, based on some reviews, is about half the 16" MacBook Pro.
Tom's Hardware tested both the new Mac models at 14-15 hours. The 9510
tested with the OLED screen from the same source was 7-8 hours. Still a
full day, but nowhere close to the Mac. Good news is that about 10
screws hold the battery in and it's userreplaceable.[sic]"

You agree that's your original paragraph, don't you, Idiot (the "[sic]"
indicating your typo not mine)?

So... ...what is your first sentence; the "topic sentence"?

As an old retired Electronics Engineer I am weary of much of the junk
sold on Amazon and prefer to use exact manufacturer replacement. A
poorly constructed Lithium battery could result in a fire and burn your
house down.

The point was that the replacements don't seem to need a chip. I'd get one from Dell for the exact reason you cite.

The typo is on me. Battery life is the topic. That last sentence is related.. The Dell could need more cycles and wear out faster. But it is easy to replace.

It's simple to pick by focusing on a few special cases clashing from
what is something more common like 3d printers. What is more important
from an advocacy standpoint are the common values. Kelly Phillips failed
to give a case study of a profitable company that has earned its position
by not focusing on its customers and wares.

We're all sorry Kelly Phillips's a paranoid, narcissistic, delusional
liar but that's not gonna change anything <shrug>.

If Commander Kinsey has 'myFile.pdf' open in an application such as
MS Word and you want to change its name to 'windows.txt' via a preset
script when connecting to a NFS host, Commander Kinsey's method might
be of value.

Utter bull by an uninformed, tall-tale telling, manipulative, co-trolling
moron who couldn't tell the truth no matter what his socks/shills say.
