    Kinda wish they had included a decent GPU or not bothered, the MX350 is piss weak.

    Good otherwise.

    • LittleTicket on 26/05/2021 - 13:15

      Was going to ask what’s this like vs a 1650 etc

      • bighalf on 26/05/2021 - 13:18

        About half the gaming performance by the looks

    • bighalf on 26/05/2021 - 13:17

      Yeah it’s certainly not a gaming machine and I haven’t tried to be honest. The main processor has the built in Intel Iris Xe GPU, so it’s fine for Photoshop etc.

      • HasToBeADeal on 26/05/2021 - 13:30

        Did you had a chance to try 144Hz refreshrate monitors via dock or usb c and does it support two of them?

        • bighalf on 26/05/2021 - 13:36

          No, I use a Dell WD15 dock with a boring 22” 60hz monitor most of the time. Having a Lightning port I would guess it would handle two 4k monitors at 60hz. Not sure about 144hz though.

      Correct! The 350 is functionally the same as the iGPU! IF it had 4gb of vram it would have been fine…but gaming at 2gb is incredibly rough. The iGPU with access to 4gb+ makes it just better haha.

      There are only a few cases you need both the CPU and gpu to be going full throttle, with low vram usage, when this configuration could be helpful.

    Thunderbolt 4 is the gem

    If the MX350 is no better than Vega7 then probably better to get a deal on a Ryzen 4800U ultrabook.

    • bighalf on 26/05/2021 - 13:48

      Probably won’t find one with a 1TB SSD at this price, especially with more than a 1080p display etc. Depends what you want, Lightning? The 4 core 8 threads get the job done well enough for me.

    • Merlict on 26/05/2021 - 13:52

      In a perfect world Dell would just put Ryzen in these and the XPS already :/

    the keyboard on these are so mushy and has like zero travel. be warned.

    • bighalf on 26/05/2021 - 13:52

      Feels like a normal laptop keyboard to me. I used to have a 2018 MacBook Pro with the low travel keys, and these travel 2-3x as far. Very little reasonable flex in the deck, but it depends on how you type I guess.

      One complaint I do have is when the backlights are on, over silver keys, they can hard to discern lettering etc.

        i had 2018 MBP, the butterfly was exceptionally bad. this is ofc better compared to butterfly, but it does have one of the worst keyboard on the market.

        i was ready to pull the trigger for 14 7000 but tried it in store and was shocked by how terrible it felt. Went with LG Gram in the end.

    I recently got this exact model for work. Things to note,
    -Fan can be loud even when on idle
    -Battery life barely lasts 1-2 hours on easy work loads
    -Display isn't that bright or clear
    -Also the MX350 GPU is only just equivalent to the inbuilt Iris-Xe graphics

    • bighalf on 27/05/2021 - 14:37

      Interesting, my machine barely ramps up the fans, and my battery easily lasts a full work day for my use (light web and heavy 64 bit Excel). I don’t have the screen set at full brightness because I don’t sit out in the sun using it. 300nits is adequate for the class of machine, and the display is tack sharp.

      You must have something running in the background wasting resources.

      The Xe iGPU uses system memory where the MX350 has it’s own. It also generates heat on the same die. Overall it’s better to have a low end GPU than nothing, but it’s certainly no gaming chip.

  • OneArmedGraphics on 26/05/2021 - 17:34

    How much better is productivity with the 2560 x 1600 screen resolution? thinking tasks like graphic design, web & spreadsheet work. I currently have an old Asus Ultrabook with 1980 max. I'm guessing its really good with things like tiling web pages & Windows. I don't have the best eyes these days, is there a risk that text or icons will be annoyingly small?

    • CheapWrangler on 26/05/2021 - 17:43

      At 14.5 inches it won't be better at all.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/05/2021 - 17:58

      You'll have to scale Windows to 200% to be able use it and that'd cancel increase in resolution.

    • bighalf on 30/05/2021 - 07:17

      16:10 is a bit better for productivity and web, and the resolution will give you a sharp screen to design on. Scaling would be a personal preference, I have mine set at 150%. Depends how small you can work with (I used to set my MacBook on its smallest setting).

      I would imagine most of the time you would design on an external monitor anyway, so the QHD is a good backup, and I believe the same aspect and resolution as a MacBook Air (just slightly bigger).

    4-Cell Battery, 52 Whr (Integrated)…………..pass

    • bighalf on 27/05/2021 - 14:38

      What are you looking for in a machine of this size / weight / price?
