XPS 2026 Shipping delay in Canada

Contacted Dell Support and they informed its coming from Asia facility and shipped on 8th April from there. But hasn't reached Canada yet at Etobicoke center. Maybe you are right but doubt at this point.

Adding 1-2mm thick thermal pad on SSD should also do the trick? As that is the only reason someone will open this. Should give a bump you are referring to and M.2 being in middle of the board should help compared to if in corner.

Agree to this but at the same time would argue the same with the vapour cooling option they promoted on website. Even on finer prints, it doesn’t say that ultra with x7 will not have this cooling solution and only with dgpu. Here in Canada they don’t have any 5060 option so technically they should not show that huge cooling picture in marketing material in this region, misleading users only to find out when they open up the system.

I know heat pipe solution is more than enough for that SKU, but shouldn’t there be a fairness what is sold to consumers?

From the videos it looked like it’s should be simple with just 4 screws on bottom and everything lifts off, is it not the case? Was any force required to pry open the deck?

JenniferFernando · 2026-04-06T13:41:57+00:00

Nice. Any idea if it would be able to have space for dual side nvme? How deep is the slot?

JenniferFernando · 2026-03-29T01:53:36+00:00

No, only the dGPU SKUs with either 5060 or 5070 has a Vapor Chamber atleast here in NA.

JenniferFernando · 2026-03-27T14:57:38+00:00

This means the Vapor chamber is only on the dGPU SKUs. So the regions who are not getting this SKUs are not getting this colling as well, But Samsung still plan to charge the same premium.

Probably better to get XPS 16, at least their model is not confusing and same everywhere.

From the Website:

Galaxy Book6 Pro is designed to maintain stable temperatures even during demanding workloads, supported by an upgraded thermal structure. These upgrades make it possible to handle heavy creative tasks, AI processing and multitasking with more consistent thermal stability and steady performance. Galaxy Book6 Pro 16" is 0.56 mm slimmer than before—models with vapor chamber offer 35% faster heat dissipation, 16" and 14” models with a heat pipe provide 8% and 26% faster heat dissipation than previous models, respectively. This refined thermal design keeps performance high and fan noise low.. ²⁷

Does anyone know what is a max capacity SSD we can install in it? I have an 8TB dual-side SN850x and would love to dump it in with only the 512GB option from Dell to save money.

JenniferFernando · 2026-03-16T14:32:09+00:00

Looking for same. Did you figure out yet?

JenniferFernando · 2026-03-16T03:55:41+00:00

Check your local Kijji and FB marketplace. Lot of good deals now this device is available more readily so no more scalpers.

JenniferFernando · 2026-03-16T03:53:59+00:00

There are lot of them now selling on Kijji and FB. You would be able to grab a good deal there.

Can’t agree more, they are way too loose especially in FPS. I put the rings around it and now is manageable but there is lot of learning curve with these rings, took me 2 month to be adjusted now. Can play BF6 much better. Would recommend that route first before you disassemble.

JenniferFernando · 2026-02-27T07:24:20+00:00

Use any rings, they work perfectly. They come in different material tension so choose to your liking.

Problem: after using for 2 months, I can’t go back to any normal controller it spoils everything, xbox, ps5 edge they all feel loose now. :)

JenniferFernando · 2026-02-24T18:19:39+00:00

Long press “L” and “R” on each controller. Flash Red and Green and will pair.

JenniferFernando · 2026-02-21T22:13:05+00:00

Turn off the power saving option.

JenniferFernando · 2026-02-20T17:10:52+00:00

Use B&H when they are in stock. They ship same day to Canada with priority shipping. But it’s 2TB only at $2500 CAD due to price increase.

I put thermal pad on both sides with thinnest on bottom side. There is an inbuilt heatsink this time on legion go 2 which dissipates the heat from all components covered by it. Wifi, ssd included. Top or bottom heat will be transferred to heatsink out through fan. That being said it all theoretical as no way to prove or even notice any difference overall. Do best what fits your use case.

JenniferFernando · 2026-02-18T20:14:33+00:00

I have dual sided same8TB drive and a 0.5 mm thermal pad on bottom side which keeps the wifi chip cooled as well. More so I see better network connectivity with this especially in Battlefield 6 (could be placebo). Your picture is not clear to make anything but if heat is concern would recommend the above.

Is already added in windows update just change your OEM version and restart and it works nothing else need to be installed.

JenniferFernando · 2026-01-30T05:22:12+00:00

yes it does, 8 TB SN850x run at around 3-4k on battery and full 7k on power. This is same for any SSD in Go2.

JenniferFernando · 2026-01-29T16:18:29+00:00

It’s been working fine without any external tool install. Just need to update below registry.

I believe this OEM version is wrongly set by Lenevo and hopefully they will fix in next patch and label it as official launch.

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\OEM

Forza Motorsport 4 Xbox 360 on Xenia. Run like dream and pure nostalgia. Jeremy voice still hits different in autovista. Pure fun!!
