yeah, but it still has no Mux, right? So battery runtime with the RTX5050 will be worse. I'm pretty sure it's possible to retrofit the 90wh battery to any pro model. Screws look identical. I wonder if the 77wh battery just has more reserve cells (and worse batches) for better longevity or is actually different. For the case I mean min 4:22 to 4:23 - that is quite different from the old models. At 5:11 it's very visble too.

If this POS bill becomes law, 3D printers will be just the start. The brain cancer will metastasize and spread to everything that runs on firmware and software. I used to think blue was a pretty color, but now I find it projectile vomit repulsive.

Thanks! I'll look at the forum ledstrain.org. Do you think I'll get better if I change my screen with the 4K dream color?

Did anyone with problems under load, sound hick-ups etc. already tried to put the machine under load with Live-Linux? There are different benchmarks as well and might be a good additional argument if there are serious hardware problems or Microsoft, drivers and bloat-bullshit by Dell are more likely to blame.

Hi maro, just use the latest WQHL driver. That should do the trick!

Yes, this card is perfectly made. Although the other cards are also good. But this card is geometrically well done.

True

so far, ive now installed A15 bios and then the unlocked version, ive now also installed game ready 2080 super notebook drivers - it runs better and seems to manage more gameplay before a crash, im going to investigate further with graphical settings seems to be underload it kicks the gpu off, it never does reach max temp, power draw can be the only conclusion, i need to research the shunt mod as its difficult to find this out. i also have somthing very strange which has happened since ive installed this card, on 3d mark its hard locked at 60 fps unless i go window mode, ive checked many settings in the nvidia control panel, i have changed the DVR options in windows and also switched off gamebar.

Just a thought about "AI developing consciousness" I do hope he is correct, ai can be a useful tool but have you tried using it? Bloody stupid sometimes. TLDR: self aware ai can not exist because of how consciousness works in the human brain (and I assume all biological brains) 2:15

I got hands on an almost brand-new MS Surface Pro 11 OLED, but i fear that no current Linux distro will be able to support a detachable with current hardware. Even the Linux on Surface project hasn't done any reliable testing on this model I will throw a couple of distros at it and will see, if something is working. If not, i can always switch back to Windows 11. Fedora has a Mobile Spin version available, but this is intended mainly for smartphones. Ubuntu is already a track record of supporting touch&pen on some devices, but none with current hardware. I'll keep you posted on my journey, but my hopes are dim.

People don’t trust Windows or Microsoft Microsoft reportedly admits Windows 11 went off track, cuts back Copilot, and promises real fixes in 2026. Trust in Windows has eroded for predictable reasons, such as the persistent bugs, poor update quality, and basic functionality getting worse.

Nvidia's plan to invest $100 billion in OpenAI appears unlikely

some, it confirms storport.sys + iaStorVD.sys were interfering before (a clean fresh windows install after the BIOS change is highly recommended for perfect driver stack) did you uninstall the Intel Intel Rapid Storage / RST drivers and revert to using windows native drivers? In Device Manager > Storage controllers > uninstall any remaining Intel RST entries (right-click > uninstall device (select to also delete drivers), reboot). Let Windows use its standard NVMe driver. > Rerun LatencyMon - storport/iaStorVD spikes should drop significantly. ACPI.sys and kernel stuff here point to throttling. Disable CPU features like Intel SpeedStep or C-States in BIOS to keep things steady during benchmarks. also for your NVME controller, look for firmware update for it or if possible test with alternate drive just for validation purposes. as for NVIDIA involvement clean reinstall drivers with DDU tool, and check for power saving modes in NVIDIA Control Panel that might be interfering. Quick tweaks (do these anyway): Power plan - High Performance (disable all sleep/USB suspend in advanced settings, in particular look for and sleep features for the NVME drive or power saving nonsense). Update BIOS + chipset drivers straight from Dell's site for your your exact model (do not count on the drivers that shipped with the default system). NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Power management mode = Prefer maximum performance. Uninstall Dell SupportAssist / Optimizer if installed (known latency contributors). Rerun LatencyMon after each change to confirm drops.

I've had it fail exactly once. Dell Precision 7560. Dell replaced the motherboard and I ran the BIOS update tool to get it up to the then-current BIOS. It appeared to complete successfully, but it never booted up again after that, it just showed a black screen forever. Dell had to replace the motherboard a second time.

Thanks! Yes, I have the RTX 4000 Blackwell GPU. I've disabled it but still experience the same issue. Do you think the ACPI.sys error points to a hardware or software issue? I've attached the LatencyMon results after disabling the Nvidia GPU.

This is great, thank you very much. I've switched to AHCI but I unfortunately still experience the same problem. This is the LatencyMon results after changing to AHCI:

on laptop have less issues then on desktop 😄

Hello everyone i need to use a gtx 1070 to work with rtx 3080 what is the method? ..and rtx 3080 has a latest nvidia driver 591.86 and gtx 1070 stuck with 582.28 .. what i do ? i already installed them at mxm slot with pwr cables i am using a modded p870tm bios for rtx 30xx but i want to use a gtx 1070 in a slave mxm slot and i didn’t see 1070 in bios only the laptop see rtx 3080 in Bios and device manager .. but i see other devices it’s called ( 3D video controller) when i open it i see error code 28 and the details of hardware ids is the 1BE1 what is the problem and how i can fix it to use the two gpus together thanks ……

absolutely agree! this is the main reason i didn't suggest more steps atm and was carefully building up to it from the logical starting point. (i did notice both the ACPI issue and NVIDIA potential)

The biggest offender on there by far is ACPI.sys. That value 43ms is way too high. (I care about "highest execution" more than "total execution". This is saying that there was at least one time where ACPI.sys grabbed control of your system for a full 43ms straight. A high number in "total execution" is fine — a driver can do a lot of work as long as it is returning control quickly.) ACPI is power management. Unfortunately, even having a starting point like this, it can be difficult to figure out "what to do about it". Question, though. Does your system have an NVIDIA GPU? Can you go without it for a while (assuming graphics switching is turned on)? Try disabling the NVIDIA GPU in Device Manager and see if you still run into the stuttering behavior. @MyPC8MyBrain is right, disabling RAID in BIOS can help if you don't actually need it. But I don't think that's going to be the main problem here.

I have used very little my RTX5050 since I bought the laptop, at home I have an 3080 eGPU and I am gaming much less than I thought I would when I travel. I mostly did the upgrade for the extra CPU oomph's. If I needed the new model I would not mind omitting the RTX5050, but you get other goodies with it: IPS instead of OLED, 4 speakers instead of 2 and higher Wattage and above all 90Whr battery instead of 77hr.

The bezels on the screen look exactly the same as the new ones on the video. I cannot say about the feel, magnesium alloy never felt plastic to me, I just compared the feel with my 2023 and feels similar, so I guess it is not, but the frame and design are absolutely identical.

I'm pretty sure it's testing once an oled version with X7! And an ultra7 IPS Version in comparison. In some places there is comparison with the old 255h with Nvidia 5050, the X7 seems to beat 4050 Nvidia but Cannot keep up with 5050.
