I've lowered my next laptop spec reqs

My one qualm is the soldered-on RAM, but I’m extremely unlikely to need more before the entire machine needs to be upgraded again.

What do you think? Too little for the price?

The soldered RAM is… SOOOO… annoying. Nearly all models except gaming systems and mobile workstations have adopted it. RAM limits have almost always been the driver for machine replacement for me…

I wouldn’t choose something that large or heavy, myself. Too BIG for the price :slight_smile: but I think in this market you won’t get an Ryzen 6000 series CPU much cheaper. I’d favor a 14" myself. ASUS had one that was nice… https://www.asus.com/Laptops/For-Home/Zenbook/Zenbook-S-13-O… I was looking but right now I’m holding off, some personal finance hiccups going on. I mostly find I can do my work stuff on just about anything that can handle a Chrome session with 60 tabs open :slight_smile: I can even squeak by on a Chromebook for my day job (although Zoom on ChromeOS absolutely sucks, people resort to running either the Android app with a little hacking, or the Linux Zoom app in a VM). My personal uses have largely died down at this point.
