@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

@victorjavierlo @Psy_Fer_ @pjacock if I was buying a non-Mac today it would be a @frameworkcomputer. Also really cool is @starlabssystems.

@jni @victorjavierlo @pjacock @frameworkcomputer @starlabssystems I wish I could get a framework but it's limited in Australia last time I checked

@Psy_Fer_ @victorjavierlo @pjacock @frameworkcomputer @starlabssystems check again? I haven’t gone through the full check out procedure but it looks like they’re available now! (And have been for some time — but just after I got an M1 Max MBP, which to be fair I remain very happy with.) (But won’t be as soon as something fails of course. 😭)

@jni Ahh you are right! they now ship to Aus and have everything in AUD. nice!

They are a bit pricy though compared to to a dell.

I think the only thing that would stop me buying one for my next laptop is they don't have Nvidia cards. I kinda need one for doing small tests of my tools. (cuda requirement). If they can somehow add those, it's an easy buy from me. I could upgrade the GPU too which would be awesome!

@Psy_Fer_ I mean don’t get me started on the nvidia monopoly on GPU computing. 😜 But, I get you. 😢
