Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320

The Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320 is a sleek and powerful ultrabook that boasts impressive performance capabilities. Its i7 1260P processor, paired with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD, makes it well-suited for demanding tasks such as video editing and gaming. However, its thin chassis also means it can throttle when pushed to its limits, making it better suited for burst-speed applications like office productivity work. A unique integrated trackpad and touch-sensitive keys add to its sleek design, but some may find the lack of physical escape and delete keys a drawback.

Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 GU603

I'm disappointed to report that my experience with the ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 GU603 laptop has been marred by a significant aesthetic defect - peeling on the chassis within just 28 days of use. This is unacceptable, especially considering the device's premium price tag. In this review, I'll document my findings and attempt to debunk any potential misuse or human error that may have contributed to this issue.
