Had to truncate the title, it's: 43 hours battery life: Dell XPS 14 2026 lasts almost 3x longer vs MacBook Air 15 M5 in web browsing test

Looks good overall, but that huge seamless trackpad looks like it will be a nightmare for touch typists. It blends in so well with the palm rest that it will be hard to avoid accidentally moving the cursor if you type with your palms resting. Dell will need that extended battery life to make up for time spent correcting typos.

I have employer-provided XPS 14 9440 and it's never unplugged from the dock because this annoying touchpad issue is too much trouble.

Why would they target professionals with a laptop that has such an anti-feature? I can understand it makes it easier to clean, but wouldn't that be more important for non-computer enthusiasts who don't care for their laptops?
