I have an xps 13 bought 5 years ago. I'm getting also around 8-9 hours of browsing time if I occasionally open YouTube. Quite more if I only code and don't spawn docker apps like databases. Spoiler, I use Xubuntu with CPU frequency set to power save but again, I've used this laptop massively during around 5 years already.


My four year old XPS lasts an entire 10 minutes on battery doing nothing at all.

Though when I got it, it very easily lasted the entire day, even if watching videos and such.


Sad to hear that. But yes, once the battery is replaced you'll get again a more than decent laptop. Mine has 8gb of ram, which is still enough for most of what I do, including running VMs and docker compose intensively.


Replace that battery, it's an easy process!
