I get asked more times than I'd like, "What is the best laptop."  My answer was always, "A desktop."  Now I actually have an answer.  This is the best laptop.The first thing I noticed when I pulled it out of the box was the weight.  This is a very heavy laptop, but it's also extremely rigid.  This feels to me the way those heavy duty industrial laptops back in the day felt.  The metal case is extremely noticeable, and it's so shiny (especially around the edges) that it feels like it's made out of Robocop.After I turned it on, I noticed 2 things.  The first is the very nicely lit keyboard.  I work nights, and most of my computer time is done in the dark.  This keyboard is dead easy to read, even in front of my multi-monitor setup blasting light down on top of it.The second thing I noticed was the screen.  It's the most crisp looking laptop display I've ever seen.  It's easy to see even at steep angles, so I can still peek and see what's going on even while it's folded down to get a look at the monitor behind it.The 16:10 aspect ratio is something that I hadn't used before.  To put it in perspective, most displays are 16:9, and the old displays are 4:3, which equates to 16:12.  So this is one step closer to an old school tall profile display, and I really like it.  When I open Adobe Premiere Pro, if I have to use it all on one screen, the biggest issue I have is that the size of the timeline reduces the size of the output video.  Since this is taller, it gives more room for both the timeline and the output, resulting in a much more easily seen final output.  That makes this a go to laptop for editing when I don't have an extra display to attach to.  It's also great for typing or coding as I have more space to see the bigger picture, more like a typical monitor turned on its side.  The color on it is absolutely perfect.  I hate editing on laptops because I know when I get home and look at the final product, the video is going to look terrible by comparison.  With this display, I can actually rest comfortably knowing that the final product is going to be as good as I expect.I tried Cyberpunk 2077 at max settings with ray tracing on.  Yes, that was too much for it.  However, at 1920 x 1200, it was actually playable.  It's very fast with ray tracing off.  That's not a big surprise as this game is ridiculous to begin with.  One of the big things I noticed was actually when I tried taking pictures of it.  Most of the time, on displays, I have to really drop the contrast and backlight, and take long exposure pictures to get a clear image of the display.  The pictures I took of this screen were all at normal contrast and in broad daylight.  There's no light bleed, or otherwise nasty imperfections.  Even on the Dell Logo when it boots up that's pure white on black, I see no bloom.  It's very impressive what this display is putting out.The 32GB of ram is fantastic for me.  I use way more ram than the average person, but most people will eventually find a need for more RAM.  Minecraft.  This game doesn't need a lot of RAM, but the bigger you build, and the more you explore, the more RAM you need.  32GB is as much as I've ever used in Minecraft, and I've played for years.  Beyond that, people that obsessively open new browser tabs can see that RAM consumption shoot way up.  I'm one of those people.  I use way more RAM than I need to, and this laptop never has a problem with it.  Not only is the RAM plentiful, it's also very fast.When I started navigating the menus to get it setup, I did it all through the touchpad.  I can easily say that it's the most natural feeling touchpad I've ever used.  It's extremely responsive, and it's big enough that it's easy to use from one side of the screen to the other without having to lift my finger.  I'm used to always needing to carry a mouse in my laptop bag, even for simple tasks, just because I refuse to use them.  This is the first touchpad I'm actually happy to use.  It's also very nicely complimented by the display itself acting as a mouse.  The touch screen is accurate enough that I never had to try to press the same button twice.  Even small X's for closing windows worked every time.It uses Wifi 6!  I'm fortunate enough to have a Wifi 6 router, so I was able to fully use the capability of this laptops Wifi card.  I'm always pushing for getting devices with Wifi 6 because it's just so much faster.  I downloaded Cyberpunk 2077, and it took just as long as it would have if it had been hard wired directly to the router.  Every web page is extremely responsive, and anything on the internet feels like I'm running ethernet.  I love it.It's solid.  I can hammer away on the keyboard without the screen wobbling around.  When I'm in the middle of writing, the last thing I need is a laptop that's shaking around so I have to stop and wait for it to stop so I can see what I'm doing.  This thing feels like it wants to to get out what I need to get out, and it'll do anything to help me accomplish it.  The keyboard feels very natural.  I have big hands, and key spacing is important to me.  It takes about 5 seconds to adjust from a full desktop mechanical keyboard to this keyboard, and then I can just go.  The keys are also extremely soft.  So much so, that I wish my cherry keys were made out of the same material.  It feels like a velvet, or some kind of premium car interior.The speakers are really good.  I'm used to having to bring a set of speakers if I take the laptop on vacation as they're always just bad.  These actually have enough output that I can watch a movie comfortably in a hotel with the windows open.A while back there was a term they referred to some laptops where they called it a mobile workstation.  They usually had about 30 minutes of battery life, but they were designed to be powerful desktops that you could transport and get a lot of work done without getting frustrated.  This laptop is the closest thing I could imagine to that old term, but with a new tank of a laptop, that also has a damn good battery life.The I9 processor is an absolute monster.  This is the first computer I've used that can actually compete with my custom built desktop.  I use Handbrake a lot.  For re-encoding video, especially when Adobe doesn't support it, it's the best option I've found.  The only problem is, the nvidia encoding results are mediocre at best.  That means I need to use all processor encoding, and that takes a long time.  This processor is actually faster than my desktop at re-encoding, and that's saying quite a bit.  It does get warm, but I haven't had it throttle.  I keep it raised on a laptop stand for convenience, but also to help with air flow.Overall I can't say enough good things about this laptop.  It's really my dream laptop.Highly recommended.
