    battery is not very big for a 15 inch laptop. 42Wh isn't a lot.

    • lostn on 10/05/2019 - 14:59

      True.

      It's mainly for being plugged in. I have the same problem with my Inspiron 15 7000.

      XPS 15 is a good laptop though. Has 97 Wh in a thin chasis.

  • BamBam cheapsk8 on 10/05/2019 - 14:49

    Why is it 1148 through the link?

      It has AC WiFi how is it slow?

      • asa79 on 10/05/2019 - 15:47
        +1

        AC 1X1 so about 433Mbps Max speed, so technically wireless N would of been faster.

        If it was 2x2 woukd of been about 1.73Gbps

        • lostn on 10/05/2019 - 16:12

          For the internet, that's more than fast enough.

          For transferring large files, you're a glutton for punishment if you want to do it via wifi.

            @lostn: Only if your in australia as other countries have up to 1Gbps internet

          • Balmaino on 11/05/2019 - 11:05

            @lostn: not rly when decent ac wifi has more possible bandwidth than even gigabit ethernet

        • spaceflight on 10/05/2019 - 18:50

          The mimo antenna configuration on your laptop will only give extra speed if the router has the same or more antennas and supports mimo.

          Having a 2x2 or 3x3 laptop will not give faster speed by itself.

          • asa79 on 10/05/2019 - 21:34

            @spaceflight: Which most decent wireless access points have:

            • Google WiFi 2x2
            • UniFi AC Pro 3x3
            • UniFi AC NanoHD 4x4

              @asa79: You've listed 3, only 2 of them are targeted at consumers. None of them are an all in one unit which most people have.

              Why not look at the cheap modems the ISPs provide plus the cheap ones people buy from stores.

      Not sure why the neg vote for pointing out that is slow wireless

        That's 4.33 times faster than the fastest NBN plan that is generally available.

        • asa79 on 10/05/2019 - 23:11

          So you don't transfer files to a NAS or stream anything local?

          But then based on your answer you probably don't need fast transfer speeds

          • spaceflight on 10/05/2019 - 23:23

            @asa79: 433mbps is fast enough for a nas. It's 50% of the maximum speed that the ethernet cable can handle.

            I don't have anything that I can stream that even needs 1/8 of the maximum wifi speed. You probably don't either because you could run 3-4 8k streams and 8k content is hard to find.

            • cheapobargainer on 10/05/2019 - 23:32

              @spaceflight:

              It's 50% of the maximum speed that the ethernet cable can handle.

              i highly doubt you cloud ever reach the max advertised (433mbps) speed with wifi…
              i have a 1300mbps wifi but with direct line of sight and 1metre away i could only get ~450mbps real world speed out of it

              and also wifi is simplex while $5 ethernet cable is duplex
              if ethernet is advertised like wifi, they would be called Ethernet2000 for 1gbps

              i guess my point is dont compare wifi with ethernet, but i agree this 1x1 wifi is ok for many consumers

              • spaceflight on 10/05/2019 - 23:36

                @cheapobargainer: Exactly! Because in the real world there are other wireless networks on the same channel and interface from other devices which limit the maximum speed you can get.

                And even if you could always get the promised wifi speeds, for that one time ever I need to copy the entire laptop HDD over wifi I think I can wait an extra 30 minutes.
                Or I could just plug in a $5 cable.

            • asa79 on 11/05/2019 - 11:17

              @spaceflight: Guess your NAS is 10/100 then ok

              • spaceflight on 11/05/2019 - 12:53

                @asa79: Guess you are not very good at maths then ok.

                433mbps is fast enough for a nas.

                That would mean my nas is 1gbps because it would be impossible to get 433mbps with a 10/100 nas

                • asa79 on 11/05/2019 - 14:26

                  @spaceflight: It's funny how people are happy with half specced. Good on you

                  You probably argue that 10/100 lan is faster then wireless Ac too

                  • spaceflight on 11/05/2019 - 14:54

                    @asa79: It's funny how people don't understand the difference between theoretical maximum and real world speed.

                    You probably argue that 10/100 lan is faster then wireless Ac too

                    You should stop, we already know you are bad at maths and it seems you can't understand what I've said.

                    • asa79 on 11/05/2019 - 16:57

                      @spaceflight: yea becuase 448Mbps compared to 1Gbps, you cant seem to understand that its slower.

                      But like i said, each to their own, you can have your slow wireless. Too slow for my needs, but if your happy with a 448Mbps like to your devices, thats fine

                      • spaceflight on 11/05/2019 - 20:10

                        @asa79:

                        you cant seem to understand that its slower.

                        If you bothered to read and understand you would know I never said that.

                        Too slow for my needs, but if your happy with a 448Mbps like to your devices, thats fine

                        I'm happy with what I can achieve and what I need.

                        You can have as much 2x2 mimo claimed theoretical maximum of 1.73Gbps as you like.
                        In the real world you will never get that. Your nas can't even provide data that fast because the cable that connects it can't.

                          @spaceflight: In real world I get faster then 448Mbps on my current laptop wireless. But no point talking to people that dont understand internal transfer requirements

      They should have power outlets at uni.

        Good in theory, but it's annoying to carry around a charger all day and regularly having to recharge wears out the battery faster (plus, power outlets aren't everywhere so you're always worrying about when/where to charge). Bit of an issue when spending >$1k imo.

          You probably don't want to carry this around uni. An iPad / surface go should take care of uni needs.

        • lostn on 13/05/2019 - 19:28

          You're going to have to charge anyway if you use battery right?
