I’ve been looking at the Intel meteor lake reviews since it came out and everyone seems to be hating it. The cooling doesn’t seem to have improved and the performance is basically the same as 13 gen. Is this a confirmation that the 2024 XPS will be a disappointment too? I don’t see how dell can keep making more capable laptops every year if the cooling doesn’t change at all, and it looks like the hopes that the cpu cooling would be better ended up being a major failure.

    Wrong. First of all Meteor Lake didn’t come out yet and there are no reviews of it, so you are fully mistaken here. 14th gen desktop is Raptor Lake Refresh, and everyone that doesn’t own one hates it but the people that do own one love it. My 14900K does 6GHz at more than 100mV less than a 13900K/KS would.

    Yes, Dell XPS sucks (regarding performance) and always did. It’s a thin-and-light laptop. The one I got has a 3050Ti with a TDP of 35W… It performance is slightly over half the 2060 of my Dell G3 (where GPU gets 70W). XPS is hot and slow. But its light and compact. Physics…
