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

Laptop for Education Major

I'm going to strongly disagree with these folks on the Latitude 7450. If you can get one with 32GB of RAM, then perhaps, but the 7450 cannot have it's RAM upgraded - it's soldered onto the board, and is not replaceable. The Latitude 5440/5450 (14" screen) or Latitude 5540/5550 (15.6" screen, and ful

The sound quality is extremely poor unless I toggle the audio enhancements

Thank you for the details. I recommend running SupportAssist as it can help by automatically correcting driver or configuration issues. The audio behavior you are seeing on the Latitude 5540 is almost always caused by a software or driver issue rather than a hardware problem. When enhancements are t

Need to buy a laptop, very limited options

No wonder you are a gaming laptop crashed since you have 200+ tabs opened. You need at least a minimum 32gb ram. Here's some laptops recommendations: • Dell Latitude 5540/5550 • Asus Vivobook S16 M5606 • Lenovo Thinkbook 14/16 G8 IAL

Der richtige Laptop zum Entwickeln

Hab ein DELL Latitude 5540 von 2023. Bin sehr zufrieden: i7-1370P (14Kerne, 20 Threads), 64GB RAM, 2TB Platte. RAM muss man ggf selbst aufrüsten, die bieten vom Werk aus oft nur max. 352GB. Und die SSDs von denen sind auch sündhaft teuer oft. Gebraucht 850€: www.ebay.de/itm/405919751493 Ram verdoppe

New E16 G3 VS Used T16 G1

If you have new laptop money, the E series is fine. If you do not have new laptop money, especially if you're in the US, you can typically get Dell Latitudes for way less than what used ThinkPads cost. (15-inchers will be the wildcard but as a fun example I recently passed on a Precision 5530 for $1

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

Laptop making weird crackling sound?

I think it's an issue with the fan as I have an SSD. The model is a dell latitude 5540.
