Just a quick question what's the best laptop to write stories on? What does everyone use?
Power-wise, anything works. Even a chromebook. The two main things to consider for writing are whether the screen is easy on your eyes and if the keyboard is good. My day job is programming, so I use a Dell Precision 5680 that I got for personal programming projects. It's entirely overkill for writi

Pro Max laptops
I have been using Dell Pro Max 14 and Dell Pro Max 16 which are basically the successor of Precision 5000 series.. Anything Pro Max 14/16 Plus is Precision 7000 series successor. Pro Max 14/16 Premium is successor of Dell XPS Now coming back to the performance of Pro Max. I love both of them. They a

Can someone recommend a manufacturer that makes computers with Linux Mint?
hmm as I said, I had several Dell, all working well. Currently on a Precision 5680 model. Previously I had XPS and Inspiron... Everything always worked well out of the box. I had some old Thinkpad too (don't remember the model as it was years ago): no problem with that too. The only one that I had s

Dell precision 5680
i looked into this for someone else last week. the precision 5680 with rtx 4090 runs at about 80w tgp plus dynamic boost up to around 95w. not a full power desktop 4090 obviously but pretty solid for a workstation laptop. dell keeps it a bit lower than gaming laptops for thermals. you can check nvid

Need help choosing MacBook / Windows for Live Production! (really confused)
My partner recently got a Dell 16" Precision 5680 and it's a seriously impressive machine. Build quality is at least as good as a modern MacBook Pro and performance is very impressive. She does 3d modeling and animation. I'm far from an expert on laptops so I don't really have specific recommendatio

Laptop Recommendation
Software development includes game development in unity (hobby), as well as front and backend development (work). Hobby-scale unity should be fine on anything modern as long as it's got enough RAM and a decent GPU. For FE/BE development, is that mostly microservices/other small stuff or are you deal

A new Dell Pro Max 16 Premium(And my thoughts)
There are some inaccuracies in what you're saying. Firstly, the Precision (now called the Dell Pro Max) is neither lighter nor thinner. I have experience using both the XPS 16 and the Precision 5680, yet the latter is certainly superior in terms of performance. As for the keyboard, while its shape m

Company Issued Laptop
I have a Dell Precision 5680, Core i9-13900H, 64GiB of RAM, 1TiB disk. My only complaint is that it's too big and heavy. I almost never open it, I just dock it at home or at the office, and I'd much rather have a 13" with similar performance to carry around.

Business Laptop Recommendations?
I've been running a Dell Precision 5680 workstation for the past couple years. 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, zero issues. Since the Pro Max is the successor to the Precision series, I'd imagine they will be awesome as well, but who knows.

Suggestions for a computer for general/office type use
Not sure where your information comes from, but if you don't go for bottom-of-the-barrel consumer models, both Dell and HP make quality laptops. You'll spend a couple grand on a good one though, no matter who makes it. I still have my Dell Precision 5680 Workstation laptop from a couple years ago wi
