Acer Swift X 14 vs Dell Precision 7760

“Haha, I know how it feels man. Unfortunate mistake though, it's not exactly your fault so don't beat yourself up about it. The lost money is a downside, but at least now you know what not to go for in a laptop in the future. Also, what the actual fuck is that dismal 42wh battery?! No wonder your battery life is horrible with that small ass battery. Definitely look for a different laptop and do NOT replace the battery. I use an Acer Swift X 14 (SFX 14-71G-55SR) and it's working wonders. Battery life on it is also shaky though, due to it having an RTX 4050 and an i5 13500H, but through some managing it gets you through the day. Performance is really good, so maybe look into that! I live in Europe and got it from Amazon for 1k on a lightning deal (original price is 1.4k) so it might be hard to find, but try your luck. If you're in America, you could find craze deals on Best Buy etc. so be on the lookout.

Battery life is amazing, display is even better than your current laptop, and all in all it's an extremely solid device. Maybe give it a go? Do be careful of [expert.de](http://expert.de) though, I've heard mixed reviews about it. This again is Asus, but it genuinely is a good laptop. Lenovo has its own LOQ and Legion series with DGPU's, but they're gaming laptops so their battery life won't be extremely good (roughly 4 ish hours) so I wouldn't recommend it based on your needs, but they're decent laptops as a whole.”

“I always preferred the Precisions over the Zbooks regardless of weight difference. If they’re the same price I’d definitely go with the 7760. It also has a larger screen which is nice. Not that it matters all too much now but new Zbooks are way more expensive as well”
