Framework Laptop 13 Pro and highlights from the Framework [Next Gen]

Its expensive but even the prebuilt 385h with 32gb of ram andd 1tb ssd is competitive with like the dell xps 14 which is 100 dollars more (and has an oled over ips) sadly i bought a macbook pro 16 m5 pro to replace my 7840u framework 13 so im skipping this

The memory crisis continues to destroy MacBook competitors. The price of the two-year-old model has increased by $500 (price on the official Surface website)

What swung me to a Macbook Pro was that I had 3 or 4 machines bookmarked to be the replacement for my Dell XPS, once I had the money available... by the time I did have the money available they were all £400+ more expensive. I've just looked at one and it's nearly £700 more expensive now.

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

ASUS Zenbook A16 with top end Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme (X2E-96-100) now available for $1999.99

Surface are overprice and overated, far from a Dell XPS, a Zenbook S-seriee, a Thinkbook X ai or even a Thinkpad Carbon.. People who can preach Samsung or Surface never had a good laptop in their hands

Apple’s new CEO has a bachelor’s degree in….Mechanical Engineering

Dell XPS line is in a totally different price bracket though, it's going to cost 2x a Macbook Neo. Great laptop if you can afford it though. Same honestly holds for framework.

Should I buy a refurbished Dell XPS 15 9530?

At that price, even in the US where things are cheaper that seems like a pretty good deal. I have owned two of the Precision 5570 (one is now my daughter's machine, and I picked up a used one this summer as a spare for my 5680) and have been very pleased with them. That's the Precision version of th

Upgrade RAM in my Dell XPS 15 9530 or upgrade to a Surface Laptop 7?

Both make their own memory chips/ICs, so they’re just as good as each other. This Crucial kit here looks to be your best bet (fairly inexpensive, yet with moderate speed at a JEDEC rating..) You might also want to take a look at the service manual for your machine as well..
