Re: Holidays....yay
Since being retired we like to get away from the dreaty dark British winters. Prior to Covid we had two lengthy stays in Malta and a week ago I came back from a month in Kenya. My wife is staying a bit longer with family and will be back next week. We did not do much, it was just relaxing with plen...

Re: Jokes & Funnies
Q. What's the last thing that goes through a fly's mind when it hits your windscreen?

Re: What laptop should I get?
I bought the Dell Latitude 5520 for £162 (£180 with 10% cashback). It's 15.6". Which suits my Finance Dept Clerk type mobility profile very well. It's under £200. It has an 11th gen Intel i5 1145G7 CPU with the Iris graphics. This is a step up in benchmark performance over the Intel 8th, 9th 10...

Re: What laptop should I get?
The RAM is the least important factor. What with used 8 GB RAM sticks starting from about £10.
Everything else is of some importance.
Even if some of them are only important for about an hour per week. With that hour being when I'm using Darktable...

Re: What laptop should I get?
My vote is still with the Lenovo Slim Pro 14, it's open box so you are starting off with a good saving. I know you've said your budget is £2k, but that is one hell of a lot for a home computer. I look at laptops as having a 3 year life span before you want to change, if buying the Pro 14 and you di...

Re: What laptop should I get?
The budget does allow to buy new. There's 3 new laptops in my shortlist. ;) As a user experience I think Windows has gone downhill since 7. Especially bearing in mind that the competition in Linux has moved on nicely over the last 10 years... I don’t like Windows and avoid it as much as possible bu...

Re: What laptop should I get?
I think there's something to commend every laptop on the list. Making this the opposite of a Hobson's choice - as laptops go. :grin: For example, the cheapest laptop on the list, the Dell 5591, has the option of fitting a 92 whr battery (for £45 if it doesn't have one already). This gives it a reass...
