Looks good, and quite slim, is it worth spending extra for an xps as would like a slim laptop with decent spec

I've had experience with a few Pavillions. They're pretty light and pretty sleek. I actually think they're a very good size for their price range. Be aware though, the 2/3 that I've had dealings with didn't have the removable plate on the underside so you can get access to the RAM and/or HDD, if you ever want to upgrade or change.
This should be pretty nippy too, as its got a decent CPU, DDR4 RAM and an SSD.
Decent price, too. Hot, IMO.

Anybody got this laptop? What's the battery life like, is it anywhere near the 10 hours stated?

Don't understand why these laptops only have 128gb ssd, i understand cloud storage but think you need at least 256

Yeah, after 12 months of Windows Update you will probably have 30+ GB of .msi and .msp files clogging up your drive.
There is no guaranteed safe way of removing them and MS does not offer a way to shift them to a second drive etc.

Depends what you want it for. It would be adequate for me as I have other PCs for games and network storage for media.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago, for same price from same place.
It is an excellent laptop, good build quality, great screen, good sound, nice and light and very fast.
I wanted to add a 1tb 2.5" I had spare as was worried about it only having 128gb SSD.
It was not easy to open and unfortunately the SSD is located right where you'd need to put the 2.5" so I'm buying a hdd case.
There is a spare ram slot inside.
Battery life is very good too.
Hope this helps :smile:
