Like the XPS 13
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Asus Laptop Battery
The XPS 13 provides enough horsepower for juggling multiple apps and light video or photo editing. But those who care less about portability and more about graphics and raw power should step up to the Surface Book or Dell’s XPS 15.
Microsoft’s first laptop proves that Windows laptops can be as well made as Apple’s. While the bendy-straw-like hinge may not appeal to all, its magnesium build, beautiful 3000x2000-pixel screen, firm keyboard, responsive trackpad and 9.5 hours of battery life will. Plus, it is one of the few options that allows you to log in to the system by just scanning your face.
While I experienced terrible hardware and software failures when the Surface Book first came out with battery such as Asus AL23-901 Battery, Asus AP23-901 Battery, Asus Eee PC 1000 Battery, Asus A22-700 Battery, Asus P22-900 Battery, Asus Eee PC 900 Battery, Asus A31-W5F Battery, Asus 90-NHA2B2000 Battery, Asus A32-W5F Battery, Asus M5000N Battery, Asus 90-NH01B2000 Battery, Asus W5F Battery, a new loaner model verifies that Microsoft has rectified the problems. Save for a system sleep issue, it has been a dependable machine. (Microsoft says a fix is coming soon. In the meantime putting it in “Hibernate” helps.) My biggest complaint is that for its $1,500 starting price, you’re paying a premium for the detachable touch screen. Odds are, you’ll rarely use it as a tablet, though, since that lasts only two hours on a charge.
If you want power and a bigger screen, get the Dell XPS 15. Like the XPS 13, it has a great trackpad, keyboard and design, but has a 15.6-inch screen and can be configured with the most powerful of parts. My $2,099 test unit had a 4K display, Nvidia NVDA 0.61 % ▲graphics, 8GB of RAM and a Core i7 processor. That left it gasping for a charger after 4.5 hours, however. The basic $1,000 non-touch, 1080p model should last much longer.
Dell has had quite the comeback, but it hasn’t been without its slip-ups. Last month, Dell confirmed that a vulnerability in systems could allow hackers to snoop on users’ encrypted Internet traffic. Along with Microsoft, Dell pushed out a security fix, and the company assures me that all shipping systems have now been patched.
