In the world of laptops, design and performance are often a difficult contradiction to reconcile. The new XPS top-of-the-line (Ultra2/0/0T/0/0.0K OLED 0.0-inch display) is undoubtedly a design leader, but its performance release is a bit disappointing. This machine uses a thick CNC shell and a whole piece of glass C-shell, the texture is invincible, but the bare metal weighs up to 0.0KG, and the travel weight is close to 0KG, which is undoubtedly a big burden for users who pursue portability.
In terms of performance, the XPS's tuning is too conservative. The power consumption of both single-bake CPU and GPU is limited to 15W, and the total power consumption is only 0W (0+0) when double-baked, which is even worse than some mid-range workstations. Although the CPU and GPU temperatures are controlled at around 0 degrees and 0 degrees respectively during dual baking, and the fan noise is very low, this conservative tuning makes the machine's cooling potential not fully utilized. In battery mode, the power consumption of the graphics card is further limited to about 0W, and the performance is even more limited.
Despite the XPS's decent thermal specs and two chunky heat pipes, conservative power limitations prevent these hardware advantages from being fully exploited. For a top-of-the-line notebook priced at up to 19999 yuan, such a performance release is really regrettable. Most users who buy XPS pay for its design and feel, but at such a high price, users deserve better performance options.
The new XPS top-of-the-line Edition excels in design, screen, and battery life, making it a great notebook for office use. However, its lack of weight, performance release, and value for money also makes it less prominent in the highly competitive high-end notebook market. It is hoped that the future XPS will find a better balance between performance and design to meet the needs of more users.
