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

I've had really good luck with Dell Inspiron and Precision laptops. I use an Inspiron 15 for multi track field recording (film and TV work mostly, but some music) and my fiancee has a Precision 5680 for 3d modeling and motion graphics. Both are great machines and I'd gladly take the Precision over a

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.

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

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

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

Well that laptop seems like a very good one. So if it's in your price range and you like it - could go for it. Definitely need windows. Otherwise you'll probably need to use a Windows emulator due to compatibility issues... Just save yourself the trouble and do windows. If anything I would say that

HP ZBook Studio G10 = lighter, upgradable RAM, has DisplayPort, excellent thermals. Dell Precision 5680 = sturdier build, stronger speaker/display, but soldered RAM and no DisplayPort. So...it depends what you care about

Apple killed the 15" screen, but for me, 16" is a nice happy medium between 15.6" and 17" especially with the trend to small bezels - I really like my Precision 5680, I just want something with a lot more VRAM for local LLM use. The 15" widescreen models have pretty consistently had a numberpad at t

I expect you'll enjoy the P16s. My coworker who has the trial P14s I got to check out briefly is very happy with his. Yes, it has a numpad, but it seems that every 16" laptop with decent build quality has one, so it's unavoidable. Every one with an AMD chip, yes. There are a few Intel models in Dell
