Buying the latest generation of a laptop isn't always the best idea. Sometimes the changes are minimal, while the price on older models can be much lower.
When shopping for a laptop, it’s hard not to get sucked into buying the latest model. They’re often widely available and marketed as the next big thing.
Related The laptop underwent a major redesign in the sixth generation and a CPU update in the seventh generation, which was repeated with the latest version with Intel’s 13th-gen processors. The thing is, Lenovo didn’t just update to Intel’s latest generation, but it switched from 28-watt to lower-power 15-watt CPUs. Interestingly, the newer chips performed similarly, so there was no penalty for dropping the power.
The Dell XPS 15 and the Dell XPS 13 Plus are a couple of other examples of laptops that didn’t make huge improvements over their predecessors this year. Both changed nothing but the CPU and, in the case of the XPS 15, the GPU. The XPS 13 Plus in particular didn’t improve performance much and suffered significantly in battery life. The newest XPS 15 is slightly faster at creative tasks and gaming thanks to a faster GPU, but for productivity users, it’s a wash.
Sometimes, the changes are more subtle. Perhaps there’s an upgrade in the number or types of ports available. Most Intel laptops have already adopted Thunderbolt 4, for example, but perhaps it’s only the latest generation of a laptop that has the most up-to-date standard. Wi-Fi 6E is new as well, providing potentially faster speeds over Wi-Fi 6, and that’s something to look for.
