The Windows Laptop Problem
The ONLY laptop I’ve ever owned that was/is comparable to my MacBook Pro is the Dell XPS, but even that still felt ‘off’

Is it possible to run an M1/M2 macbook air logic board independently?
Yes! Exactly that. The Air’s throttling is fine. My use won’t be heavy loads. Web browser, soft phone, and a few apps. That’s it. Right now I’m stuck lugging an XPS 16 9640. They spoiled me with the Core9 Ultra and 4070 but… I very much do not like Windows.

What kind of computer applications are used for engineering? Should I ditch my Mac?
Check out the College of Engineering laptop recommendations, they typically give the best advice for new students looking at computers I’m CCE, but for me a Dell XPS has been goated for both school and personal uses

Laptop recommendations
A bit late to the party, but I will "echo" some of the sentiments already in the thread.I am currently a postdoc in comp chem, and I started "messing with these things (e.g. linux distros)" since I was in HS, as many of our fellow nerds. The TL;DR answer would be that nowadays most laptops are decen

This makes zero sense laptops never last as long as they say they will. But WHY?
There was a time when this was absolutely true. Panther Lake (and lunar lake before it) has closed the gap. Notebookcheck actually does idle power consumption tests. The Dell XPS 16 running Panther Lake averages 1.3w-4.6w at idle. The best performing Macbook averages 1.5w-9w at idle. Your right in r

Framework claims Dell is trying to derail Framework's marketing by sending influencers Dell XPS laptops
Yeah TBH the victim complex thing is a turn-off. Like we have two brands with solid Panther Lake offerings that check a lot of checkboxes. Framework is ready for Linux out of the box but Dell seems to be mildly committed there too. I don’t see anything wrong with marketing being like ‘hey while you

Dell XPS 13 9370, I got this bad boy for about 57$ USD
Funny. I just rescued an XPS 15 9500 from the recycle bin at work. Stole RAM from another machine that had two 8GB sticks but had a bad mobo, popped in a $40 Dell OEM battery off eBay, and it works perfectly! It’s spotless. Apparently it died a few months into use and they never do anything with jt
