Whoa, what laptop did you end up getting? 64GB? Nice!

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It was an HP Elitebook with 64GB of ram and 1TB nvme drive for $800 (it had stacked discounts at the time). The price then shot up a month later to twice that, so I can't really regret it based on the current ram price insanity. Still, my coworker just got a framework a few months ago and I can't help feeling jealous. I am mostly annoyed by the lack of built in ethernet port, fuck wifi.

Thanks! Yeah, lack of ethernet ports is annoying. I bought a USB adapter to have one.

I mean, I did the same, but I've tried a few now from reputable brands and they keep timing out or just not working properly until I reboot.
