    Nice review, glad you like your XPS. I found a local seller on a classified site and picked up a XPS 9250 w/ i7 -12700H, 16gb ram, 512gb SSD and RTX 3050i graphics card. It only had the FHD 1920x1200 ips screen but I typically hook it up to my OLED tv and close the lid and use an external kybd/mouse. I'm very happy with it so far, I'm an eletronics engineer and have to run windows for the programs I use and this thing is very fast. I got it for an insane price of $250 so I upgraded to 32gb for another $100. It's a 2022 model but I think I'll redo the paste as you did on the cpu and gpu to see if it runs cooler. Keep up the good work, I did subscribe and hope to see what the other laptop you picked up is.

I'm working my way up to the AWU. That one I feel like is going to be a big project that I haven't put time into producing, yet. It's a great Apple device and it deserves a quality video.

    Thank you for this amazing review. As of someone who’s willing to buy a new laptop, i was wondering what about a older laptop with insane specs and this made me wanna buy one for sure. The only matter i am concerned about is the noise in fans. I’ve had an asus rog and it did bother me a lot specially in class. I was wondering if this laptop has fan noise issue. Again thank you so much and i really enjoyed the video! Cheers mate!

    Hey, I'm planning to buy one from the same seller, I'll be using it mainly for coding and watching series (I'm wondering if it could run some emulators like cemu or yuzu). So I would like to thank you for your review and advice, and if you have anything else to say about your experience with the device or if you had any other issues like throttling or random restarts, I would like to know. Thanks in advance (sorry for any misspelling, english is not my native language)

    It does thermal throttle, yes. However, I think you have to look at it for what it is. It's a slim laptop with not a lot of opportunities to exhaust heat. That's due to the massive processor Dell puts in these. There's tons of performance metrics on this laptop by now so I'd recommend looking at those and if that performance is what you are looking for then perhaps this laptop may suit your needs. Despite the thermal throttling, mine was able to edit 4k h.265 footage which is pretty impressive given this is an older laptop.
