The battery life is quite horrendous. Bizarre not to offer usb c charging
Just web browsing lasted 85 minutes
The same model with an i9 13950hx and 4090 did 260 minutes.

USB-C probably can't provide the necessary wattage.
As for the battery life, I have no idea. I have a Lenovo Legion all-AMD and it's been quite good. The successor to mine apparently can last up to 9 hours for non-gaming workloads. It sounds to me like Dell messed something up here in a big way.
USB-C can deliver up to 240w… that should be enough to power any laptop.
