Here it states that it has a worse performing battery than the XPS: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/07/frameworks-new-lightweight-modular-laptop-delivers-o

  Interesting. Tom's Guide says pretty much the exact opposite, with the XPS coming in at roughly 78% the battery life of the Framework. > In our battery test, which sets the laptop’s screen brightness to 150 nits and tasks it with endlessly browsing the web via Wi-Fi, the Framework lasted 10 hours and 17 minutes. That’s better than the Dell XPS 13 (7:59) https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/framework-laptop-review-the-anti-macbook-has-arrived#framework-laptop-review-battery-life-xa0 https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/framework-laptop-review-th... Maybe the XPS 13 configuration was different? Or maybe the tests were different in nature? Ars used PCMark 10, which is a standard benchmark that Dell could have specifically optimized for. The Ars review does have this to say later on: > The Framework also manages surprisingly high battery life under Ubuntu—in our semi-scientific video playback test, Framework runs neck and neck with the outstanding Acer Swift 3 at just over five hours, with everything else (including the XPS 13, which in this case is hampered by a 4k touchscreen display) trailing well behind.
