When you have a fairly large budget laptop, you can afford a great computer. But there are so many choices, you risk you to invest your hard earned money on a machine, and you may regret it one day.<\/p>\n

So, we\u00a0weren’t surprised to\u00a0see forum user talhaaslam650 ask this question:<\/p>\n

“So I am looking for a laptop for my university,\u00a0and it\u00a0should handle light photo editing and offer good Dell xps m1330 laptop battery<\/b><\/a> life for general use. $1,000 is my budget, but if the laptop is worth it,\u00a0I can go $1,100. Kindly suggest the best laptop in this range.”<\/p>\n

Well,\u00a0talhaaslam650, we kindly thank you for\u00a0this question,\u00a0and\u00a0have an answer: the $899 Dell<\/a> XPS 13 9360, with a 7th Generation Intel Core i5-7200U processor, 8 GB RAM, and a 128 GB SSD. Not only is it fast enough to handle all of your classwork\u00a0and\u00a0photo editing; it’s also\u00a0extremely lightweight at\u00a02.78 pounds, so it’s easy to bring from class to class.<\/p>\n

But, before you\u00a0run to Dell’s website, let’s go over why\u00a0I specified the\u00a09360 model number.\u00a0Rather than the most current XPS model we tested\u00a0this month (Jan. 2018), the 9360 is a device from 2017. Why are we recommending last year’s model? It’s simple, actually: It’s because you\u00a0mentioned how important battery life is to you.<\/p>\n

We agree that a long-lasting laptop is important, and that’s why we’d recommend this 2017 model, which lasted 16 hours and 5 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test (web browsing at 100 nits). In contrast, the XPS 13 9370 (2018) model topped\u00a0out at\u00a012 hours and 37 minutes. That extra\u00a03-plus hours can make\u00a0all the difference between\u00a0a machine\u00a0that lasts through your afternoon classes without its power cable, and one that dies during a critical lecture.<\/p>\n

The other reason I’m recommending the\u00a09360 is because the model we suggest is $100 less than the cheapest 2018 version ($999),\u00a0which would max out your budget. This way, you’ve got money left over for food\u00a0purchased outside of\u00a0your university’s meal plan. But, if you want more storage, we wouldn’t argue\u00a0against the $100 upgrade\u00a0to turn this notebook’s 128 GB SSD into a 256 GB drive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
