starting cse this year, need a laptop under $600 and i have no idea what i'm doing
What are the specs you need? I run off lease business Dell laptops from eBay. Last year I picked up an 11th gen Latitude 5520. These are around $150 now. The 12th gen is now common and around $230 for a 5530. The 13th gen is available in numbers starting around $350 for a decent Latitude 5540. These

Is it worth it?
To be fair, I get brand new Dells right out of the box with failed trackpads (no click, stuck, etc.) and that's one or two out of each batch of ~15 devices. I've had just one FW with that problem. My last company had the Latitude (5540?) line that had every single battery swell to bursting open the

Which of these options do you think best matches my needs? (T480s vs T580 vs T14 vs T14s)
Are you in the US? You can probably find a Latitude 5540 for $250-350 or so. Only thing it doesn't have (and I don't believe any/most 15-inch ThinkPads have this either) is a centered keyboard. Dell Precision 5530 and newer does have that, if you can deal with worse battery life. Otherwise 14-inches

Was super excited about Thunderboltâ„¢ Share until I read about the licensing
Ugh... Dell Latitude 5540. i7 1365U so similar to JHL8000 series TB4. Work forces me to use it. Although, I used my cunning to corner the approver of hardware and I'll be getting a ThinkPad. Just been delaying on deciding which one, X or T. The new Panther Lake T series looks amazing. LPCAMM2 is now

Dell Latitude 5540 -what power adapter?
I am getting the opposite problem. I needed to replace the adapter for the Latitude 5540 laptop. I ordered the 100-watt adapter directly from Dell, as it is the replacement part connected to the Service Tag. They screwed up the shipment by sending only the power cord. Now, they refuse to send me a r

Should I buy the Dell Inspiron 16 7640 2-in-1 16GB version now or wait for the 32GB version to come back? (OPINION)
Welcome. At your budget, I'm not sure there's something appropriate from Dell right now but if you can stretch your budget there have been some XPS 15 9530 on a stupidly high level of discounting on Outlet. The least expensive is $950, though. There is one Latitude 5540 via Outlet in the same price
