Ask HN: What laptop/Computer do you use currently?

Re:Ask HN: What laptop/Computer do you use currently? by gwnywg on Sunday August 07, 2022 @05:59PM (#32380318)

Since late 2019 I have been using Lenovo P53 fitted with 128Gb of RAM and RT3000 NVidia GPU. I run Arch on it, I plan to stay on this laptop until something fatally breaks (my guess is it will be SSD, which I will replace)

This laptop is more of a mobile workstation, very heavy and bulky. But I don't mind.

I had a P51 from work but I hated it. It was too laptopy to be a good desktop, and wayyyy too heavy to be a good laptop :P Seriously, along with the power supply it's like 3,5kg. Not fun to travel with or even carry home on the subway.

I really prefer a lightweight laptop and a separate desktop. Which is what I have now, luckily. Our work has a strict "one laptop per employee" policy but I got a desktop for "testing" purposes which is now my daily work driver :P

You hate what I love :) I love heavyness of my laptop, and the fact I have all resources I will need in predictable future. Bu as I said, many of my colleagues are ranting about this so it's not for everyone :)
