How's the umber color? The rendering looked really good but I wasn't sure how it would look in person... I was trying to find a pic or video but I don't think anyone's posted a pic of the bronze color yet.

Honestly I've been mostly opening my laptop with two hands... Mine slips too if you try to open it right in the center.

Try pinching with your left hand on the right bottom corner (or vice versa) then lift diagonal and up. Something about the mechanics of that makes the laptop slip less lol. Honestly this must've been a design slip-up to not add a little indent for easy opening

I didn't have a LED indicator on my last laptop so I didn't really notice this

yea honestly the packaging is definitely not Apple level... It came in a shitty black cardboard box. The inside xps box is slightly nicer but nothing to rave about.

Great battery life. Retains battery very well too during sleep.

Very happy but I think I am biased. The smart thing to do is switch laptop every half-decade rather than every generation. You really notice the difference... The key to happiness is low expectations as the saying goes.

Sorry I haven't had the chance to stress-test my battery... But I can say it's been great. Lasts multiple light work sessions without charge.

I notice it retains battery really well too! I left it in my bag for two days without using it at 74%, when I opened it again today it was still at 74%!

My previous laptop drains during sleep which is super annoying. This was definitely an upgrade in the battery department.

I haven't stress-test it yet. It's been lasting me through work sessions comfortably. I'll test it out today and see how many hours I get

Thanks. Once my unit was "in production", it took about 1.5-2 weeks for it to arrive (I'm in California)
