I recently bought a Dell Latitude 7430 with an i7-1265u, 10 cores, 1.8Ghz, 16gb of (I think) DDR4 RAM, and a 256GB SSD for 250$. I still have time to return the machine. I was wondering whether I got a good deal here or not.
My purpose is mostly for general school stuff. Spreadsheets, docs, Zoom meetings, and the like. I might be getting into the world of CS, but I’m not at a point yet where I would need much power.
Still, the 256GB of storage worry me. And unfortunately it can’t be upgraded. Still, if I’m not doing much besides all of the basic tasks expected of a work laptop, do I really need more?
Should I consider returning it and try to get another deal? Keep it? Or something else altogether?
nah it’s utter shit, you should send it to me so I can dispose of it properly.
wtf, dude 12th gen i7, is it enough?! I run a 1st gen i7 on desktop and a 4th gen on laptop and my workload exceeds yours significantly.
storage can totally get upgraded with a bog-standard NVMe SSD. RAM can’t but it’s doubtful you’re gonna need more than that for standard desktop work, unless you’re into VMs, docker, and the like.
