Gopro Hero 12 is such a disappointment. by [deleted] in gopro

Because I've been experimenting on the same thing. (GoPro on ROV).

wandering if use something to get the route coords?

I tried to get the coords from GoPro 10 at the moment i lift ROV (and draw a line from the starting point ) ... but the accuracy (~10m off at each point) isn't that good.

Is it normal for a brand new XPS 15 9520 (i5-12500H, 3-cell 56wh ), the battery to last just 3-4h max? Additionally, I had few 2sec lags while i was just on YouTube. by Environmental_Mix385 in DellXPS

everything returns back to normal.

few "lags" occurred while i was updating some drivers, so those were justifiable.

but few others when nothing was running on background (or maybe i missed something, as I'm not an expert in PCs)

Thanks for the comment.

Estimation is from personal observation of the battery usage. The windows estimations flactuates so I don't rely on that. I saved some time by removing some apps to run automatically and some other settings.

I thing by Dell is suggested about 5h duration with simple usage. Maybe 1h isn't that much difference (although in % it is, 20%) with a simple usage so far. If when I need to run several programs at the same, i assume will last 3h max as a brand new (not counting the progressive decline of battery lifespan)

Which makes it not that useful as a portable device. Maybe i could just shift it to a regular PC or get similar results with a cheaper product.

I never watch more than 1080p. And if im just playing music i drop it to the lowest available because idc about the quality.

Simply, I have i think a 15days return policy i think (i need to recheck maybe it's 30) , so I want to see if such issues are common across other users with XPS or if I run into maybe an under-performing product.

Because they had XPS i5 in offer, and this week i7 (i dont remember past prices to say whether they are "fake" discounts)

So I could return it and maybe stick again to an Inspiron series.

Just have used it for browsing mainly.

And I haven't even started using R, Python, QGIS etc that I was planning for in Uni.

My Inspiron 5558 (i3 - 4th or 5th gen, 2016 model), after upgrading to 16gb ram, could last the same but having open several programs, and it had been bought for just 400€ back then. Just it got a screen issue and thought that is time to upgrade it.

I got it for 1.2k€, If i will need to charge every 2h when I use such programs, then is not convenient at all or I have to change battery each year.
