Dell XPS’s are superficially nice machines but the power management is comically broken. They overheat and drain their battery while sleeping. You’re lucky if you close the lid in the morning and there’s still juice left by 5pm.

Not just Dell :(. I had a Lenovo T14 AMD. The battery would drain overnight in S3 sleep. To add to the offense, if that'd happen it often wouldn't charge with the supplied Lenovo USB-C charger anymore. However, a borrowed MacBook USB-C adapter would bring it back alive within a few minutes.

The first time I was pretty sure the laptop turned into a brick. Of course, this happened hours before I had to give a lecture.

Chalk HP up there, too. Had a ProBook 430 for work, with an 8th gen Intel, so before the S0 circus. It would eat through the battery in S3 like nobody's business.

It was only marginally better than my current joke of a computer, an EliteBook G8, but this one at least doesn't even pretend to sleep (no support for S3 at all).
