I don't like Dell as a company, but I've owned XPS laptops for years and haven't been able to find something I like better. The only real problem I have with it seems to be a Windows problem that other laptops also have (modern standby). My other complaint was with Waves MaxxAudio, but it hasn't bothered me on my latest XPS the way it did on the older ones. Not sure if that problem is fixed or if I just got in some sort of lucky configuration that made it go away.
- Prickle 3y agoI actually get around modern standby by simply replacing sleep with hibernate on everything. It takes longer to start up, but at least the PC isn't burning hot, or wasting battery. Waves is... incredibly annoying. Could be worse I suppose, but I wish it wasn't a thing. The computer will randomly shut off the audio jack so it makes audio issues even harder to diagnose. The number of times where I was monkeying around trying to figure out what was causing it. Ugh. I find that it usually involves 3 steps. The audio\mic quality downgrades, then entirely shuts off the mic, then shuts off audio. I have a Inspirion(?) G7 7790. It's an old machine by today's standards, but it has had many problems from the start.
