Late last year, the #Dell laptop (Inspiron 15 5405) I bought, broke. I had gotten it very cheap second hand (£250) and it was the best CPU I've ever had (#AMD Ryzen 5 4500U) attached to the worst chassis man has ever made; I can only describe the computer as having been designed by people who never used it, or even saw one assembled. The metal hinge bracket smashed the display due to the flimsy plastic screen housing. The second M.2 slot is physically unusable(!) because the speaker molding is too close for even the smallest M.2 board (2230?)
I've been limited to a netbook for the last few months and it's been hard work. 1GHz + 4GB RAM is hell when you're trying to do anything creative and switching to Linux in the process.
I've just ordered a new laptop, this time a Thinkpad T14s Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U / 16GB RAM. I would have been overjoyed just to stick with another 4500U as all my previous laptops were #Intel and performance was just utterly miserable, especially with games and I say that as someone who only plays games older than 2010!
The moral of this story is never buy a Dell, no matter how good the price!
