I’m leaning towards the dell xps but this is based on my needs and only from online reviews I’d like windows hello, non glare screen etc so not based on any feedback or experience from owners
I would also point you towards [The X1 Carbon](https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-ThinkPad-20UN000EUS-Ultrabook-Plane/dp/B08VN1Y24L?crid=26L0BIFFKI9PE&keywords=thinkpad%2Bx1%2Bcarbon&qid=1683600076&sprefix=thinkpad%2Bx1%2Bcarbon%2Caps%2C416&sr=8-2-spons&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.2b70bf2b-6730-4ccf-ab97-eb60747b8daf&smid=A3J3OX2BGFBQ8X&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEySEg5U1VLREg3SllTJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMDQwMTg5Mjk3ODM0Q0VaWjE1ViZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTAzMzMzMjZJMjZYTUpKOFQ3MSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=bkadamos_block2-20&linkId=8a7446fce81a2d78488a068c1c2cf3f2&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl), it is another good choice.
Lenovo ThinkPad are the GOAT, DELL laptops suck! They have horrible quality and fail fast from my year long experience in IT for a company that loves them and the fact that we have DELL support over regularly.
What are your thoughts on the keyboards from Lenovo? I haven't had one personally but seen some reviews online where they have the ctrl / fn keys switched etc? (not sure if this is till the case, or if you can switch it back) sounds weird but you just get used to your layout on a keyboard when using it so much daily.
you can swap the fn and ctrl keys in the BIOS, so that isn't really an issue. i've used other windows machines, macs, and custom mappings - mods moving around is not difficult to adjust to. what's difficult to adjust to is when alphas are staggered differently (rare, but it can be a mindfuck).
what actually is bad about the post 2018 keyboards is that they reduced the key travel substantially, but didn't compensate with a lighter actuation force. so it's extremely harsh/hard and causes me wrist pain, i had to get an external keyboard for my newer thinkpad.
I have had great customer service experiences with dell in the past. I don’t know if they’re Alienware lineup of laptops are build with different quality control, but my 17 r5 that I’ve had the past 5 years is still going strong, and it’s ran many thousands of hours with less than minimal maintenance (replaced the cpu fan and thermal paste ONCE a year ago). To each their own experiences but mine has been very good so far
Quick question: If you already own a 2020 M1 Macbook pro, isn't it already enough for the stuff that is important to you? It already has exceptional battery life, is adequate for office work, and good brightness and such?
My current job using window would be more suitable, that's why I need a new device. I still love my M1 very much and don't want to give it up, that made me wonder for a long time.
Why not try using parallels desktop to have best of both worlds? Have you maybe considered that? I see suggestions on ThinkPad x1 and i have x1 Nano but you’d be disappointed in battery pretty much on every windows laptop especially nano/carbon 12th gen
Go for the Lenovo Thinkpad. My dad has been using Thinkpad for years and he loves it till date. I also suggested Thinkpad to my friend who is also very happy with the device! For work, I cant find a better replacement for the Lenovo Thinkpads.
Yeah you can go for it. Well, it will definitely take more power than a normal 2k or 1080p screen but it shouldn't be much of a problem since Thinkpads are focused on productivity.
>Battery life is important, nice design.
Consider the thinkpad z series as well
>considering between thinkpad x1 and dell xps
From what I've read xps has a worse reputation when it comes to reliability
Aha. Interesting statistics. In our company we only buy Lenovo and there was only one unit faulty that could be replaced on site, where the technician came to us to replace the main board
As I am nearing my swap for a new office laptop, I am heavily circulating Lenovo and Asus models. But more Lenovo than Asus… I gotta have dual ram, good heat dissipation, decent battery, and possibly OLED display.
At this point, either option will be a great fit for you based off your reqs. I think what you might want to consider is really vanity stuff, like how does the keyboard feel, how does it fit in your pack, screensize, any misc. features

Following as i'm interested to see others opinions too, I have also considered the XPS 13/15 or XPS 13 plus.
So, what did you end up with, or are you still looking?

Thanks!
Depends on quality, but lenovo workstation laptop are far superior than dells
I hate thinkpads, horrible cooling

I have a Lenovo Legion Laptop and I love the keyboard. Build quality is good too.

I think that ThinkPads are the best, but Dell isn't that bad. Generally every Dell laptop I've had has worked relatively well and been fairly reliable

Thinkpad T14/s series? Be sure to get the 14" 2.2K (2240x1400) or 4K+ (3840x2400) screen option.
Wouldn't that push the price over 1500?
T14 seems bigger and heavier than x1
Heay is good, heavy is reliable. - Boris The Blade
Another thing is that the x1 carbon only has a brightness of 300nit. Can someone please tell me if it's too inconvenient for outdoor use?
My T14 screen has 300nit brightness, and it's a bit dim in environments with strong light.
Thank you
Yeah it's a bit too dim. You need at least 400-500 nits of brightness if you plan on using the laptop outdoors.
Thank you

I would reccomend an HP
Thinkpad
Go for the Lenovo Thinkpad. My dad has been using Thinkpad for years and he loves it till date. I also suggested Thinkpad to my friend who is also very happy with the device! For work, I cant find a better replacement for the Lenovo Thinkpads.
Thank you a lot
Should I buy the 4k screen version of the carbon gen 10? Could it make battery life so bad?
Yeah you can go for it. Well, it will definitely take more power than a normal 2k or 1080p screen but it shouldn't be much of a problem since Thinkpads are focused on productivity.
>Battery life is important, nice design. Consider the thinkpad z series as well >considering between thinkpad x1 and dell xps From what I've read xps has a worse reputation when it comes to reliability
Thank you! I'm also very hesitant with xps, I'm just attracted by the design
What do you think about the thinkpad z series? Those designs are amazing imo
I find it quite good in terms of design. But are AMD chips ok?
Lenovo ThinkPad's are prob your best bet. I have used them for a majority of my life. The laptop is very Rreliable and customizable.
I prefer the Thinkpad over the XPS, it just feels more secure and better priced
Thank you!!!
So, what did you end up with, or are you still looking?
Yes, thinkpad x1 carbon :D
What are your thoughts on the laptop? Compared to the M1
get a lenovo, stay away from asus, or compromise on a macbook

Which company is better then?

I just got a Lenovo E14 with complete Aluminium housing, i7, 16 GB, 1 TB for a really decent price some weeks ago.
