DELL XPS 13 9310 for Hyper-V and general admin work

[dink]

As I do a mix of home and office based working need to get a laptop, took advantage of early Black Friday deals and put an order in for a DELL XPS 13.4 9310 32GB 1TB with the i7-1185G7 4C/4HT CPU and the 1920x1200 display for around £1200.

I’ll be using it for chrome (5 / 6 tabs usually), and Hyper-V (with Windows 11 Pro) with around 3 VMs (DC, SQL server and a client), plus some sort of VPN client - my only worry is the low power processor, anyone running a similar config able to share some thoughts please ? Have until early December to cancel so happy to consider other options.

Thanks.

Thanks although I need an intel based laptop and prefer 13inch for portability.

OK,
Try checking the hp envy line, past 2 Yrs thr been top 2 in the 13inch laptops with the dell xps

Thanks already looked at the envy but can’t get the same specs as the XPS for the price, so you think the i7-1185G7 will be sufficient for running virtual machines? Bit out the loop with non-apple laptop processors coming from a M1 MacBook.
