@victorjavierlo Yea Dell XPS laptops have been great for me. I run Pop!_OS on them. Solid machines with pretty good battery life.

@Psy_Fer_ @pjacock In fact, I was debating between a Dell and a Mac. I’ve been a Mac user for 20 years, but I’m not sure if it’s time to switch—especially considering the price

@Psy_Fer_ @pjacock I need computational power, but my computer is very old… I mainly work on transcriptomics, RNA-seq, and scRNA-seq. For example, I tried running a WGCNA on my old computer, but it was impossible. I have two workstations in the lab where I do the alignment.

@victorjavierlo @pjacock I run a lot of test pipelines on my laptop. Even nanopore basecalling with the GPU. Then I have a workstation in my home Office, and then of course connection to various HPC and servers. As a Dev machine the dell is great and can get things done in a pinch. But realistically you should be doing heavy analysis on a workstation.
