> 128 GB RAM

> $7k

heavy sigh

It’s unified RAM like on a Mac, so it also counts as VRAM. Go check what a 128GB VRAM GPU costs. I’ll be waiting.

And a similar spaced MacBook Pro (128GB RAM) is like $9k+.

It’s not like this is a horrible deal in that regard.

On Apple website, US one, M5 Max with 128GB is $7000. So yeah? lulz

$7k Windows XP Home

I boggles the mind they do this.

Yeah, not only it is ridiculous to have a laptop targeting devs to be Home edition, the oldie XPS Linux variants are long gone, yet Dell gladly sells server racks with Linux.
LoganDark•34m ago
Why would Dell selling server racks with Linux be the reason they should also sell laptops with Linux? Apple doesn't sell Macs with iOS despite selling iPhones with iOS. I get that Dell used to sell laptops with Linux, and that they should in general, I just don't see how selling server racks with Linux is in any way related.

Where is it saying ‘devs’? I mean the title is “Creator Edition” (as in ‘content creator’ as in doomscroll marketing bs maker)

Swing and a miss from Dell, yet again. Did someone just go "It's not got more than 128GB RAM right? OK Home is fine then" ??

I don’t use windows so what is the difference between home and pro versions of windows? My understanding is the pro version enables device management features needed by a corporate network. Is there a performance difference that would affect an individual developer?
ktallett•39m ago
Pricey. I do miss the days when the first Dell developer laptop was released.

Mandatory Windows.

Pass.

Is this for developers with a humiliation fetish?
jadbox•16m ago
What does this even mean
chvid•33m ago
Why are these running Windows? If you are targeting AI engineers surely you would be better of offering some kind of unix.

They target (slop) creators

Imagine paying $4K to use Windows in 2026

They completely wasted their XPS brand. The XPS 13 dev was the peak of dell and now it is horse shit. I haven't had a Dell laptop be bought for work since then.

Lenovo are quite good at the moment.

I bought the TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 14" with Ryzen 9900HX and 96GB running Linux and it's even better than my previous Dell XPS 15. Smaller, lighter and faster. And it only costs something like €2K.

Please stay away from Dell. Posting from the worst laptop I have ever owned, my Dell XPS that cost over 2.5k usd new. Yes, I hate it enough to rage-post about it on HN.

At least it sort of works after using the best thermal compound available, adding thick feet, and using it only on a cutting board to make sure an uneven surface like my lap doesn't reduce flow. Also, never place the charger on the carpet or it will shut itself off from thermal overload. Everything still randomly overheats with minimal workloads, but mainly it sort of works now :)

More expensive and worse than a MBP , congratulation. What type of jokes is this shit?

Dell Price $3,799.99 Processor NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X, 18 Cores Operating System Windows 11 Home Graphics Card NVIDIA Blackwell RTX 5120-core GPU Memory 32 GB LPDDR5X Storage 512 GB SSD, TLC Displays 16" Touch 3.2K (3200x2000)

How would this be for gaming compared to something like a Razer laptop with RTX 5070?
