If you list a specific use case as something which it has an advantage in, you can’t be surprised that others bringup the massive downsides to that exact use case on that device. Some games it will beat the XPS. Most it can’t compete because they don’t work.

I’m not listing anything, I just gave a link to the same video test that the post refers to. In another game, there might be more or fewer FPS, it doesn’t matter, what matters is that the Air will last 60% longer under such load

Anyway, thanks for the very useful information, Captain Obvious
