The Pitt was crushing it last night, but it's a show I had zero interest in because hospital/first responder shows have been done to death. Is it really that good?

Just
Keep
Swimming!!

If you asked me 5 years ago if a show about Cassian Andor was a good idea, I would've laughed at you. If you told me that it would one day be my favorite out of all star wars shows I'd be rolling on the floor laughing and think you needed a psychiatrist.

Well here I am, firmly claiming that a show about Cassian fucking Andor is up there with the best shows of all time such as the Wire, Breaking Bad, and Deadwood. It's unreal, and I love it.

I enjoy the space wizards as much as anyone, but I also enjoy stories of the rest of the universe. The average guy as well as the exceptional hero.

I can’t swim…

Climb

Well, I suppose I can only hope that Andor leaves a lasting legacy on the creatives.

It may have not done absolutely amazing numbers, but the show is definitely going to have a very positive long-term effect on the franchise, and I think that's very important moving forward.

Very glad that the show won some well-deserved awards. I was slightly afraid this show was going to get the Better Call Saul treatment from the Emmys.

*Brief Kleya smile*

Pretty solid haul for a show that didn’t have a ton of crossover appeal in the mainstream and was going up against the phenomenon that is The Pitt (which is another outstanding show, hard to be upset about any award Andor lost to it).

Intel's CPU architecture is fine tuned for operating in low power budgets, it is greatly superior in laptops.

Unfortunately, AMD's GPU architecture is waaaay beyond what Intel achieves, and we're more often GPU limited than CPU limited in a laptop.

Gf got ap laptop with an ryzen 7 that is alrdy 2-3 yrs old.. and still absolutely crushes it performance wise… especially if you consider shes one of those people eho constantly got about 30 tabs open in her browser at all times… Also doing extremely well on battery life too. Cant say much about intel on mobile tho admittedly.

ryzen in laptops is fantastic...theres nothing really bad about em to say, other than i wish more super low power configs existed. (like sub 10w stuff) because rn, my favorite device is my surface with snapdrsgon in it because of its battery life.

i wana see more competition in this area.

MacBook Air are very nice. Maybe from the Apple refurb store to save a bit of cash.

In my experience running autocad and solidworks for 10 years or so, you can run CAD in very limited hardware. You need at least integrated graphics and a decent processor with good single threaded performance, but even if you don't have that, you can still run things.

Model complexity is what kills performance and trust me, bloated models are hard to run even on towers.

Not sure which one should you get, but I am sure any i5 processor or better, 16gb ram or better will be ok for 90% of the CAD work you are going to be doing.

I run 3D AutoCAD and Shapr3D on a SurfaceGo2 ... that is a m3 processor from 5 years ago. Still does the job.

If you are planning to use Solidworks with large assemblies on a laptop you need something with a dedicated GPU. The Framework 16 isn't available with high end Nvidia GPUS and won't be for a while yet so I'd recommend something else.

Only for coding no gaming? T480.

You should provide more info in what you are looking for in a laptop, then you might get some suggestions.

used dell lattitude or lenovo thinkpad

Thinkpad (Good Linux compatibility)

-GOOD Keyboard

-SOLID Build

Just find these specs (Min):

CPU: AMD (generally better for battery)

RAM: 16 GB

SSD: 512 GB

100% sRGB (Not required for programming but good for watching movies.)

Backlit Keyboard.

It sounds like you are trying to start a new hobby. With all new hobbies don't spend 1000s getting started. Get something for studying and then program on it. If you enjoy programming AND start getting bogged down due to specs then you spend the 1000s.

You saying you want to learn all languages tells me this is sometime new to you. Enjoy it but don't go into stupid debt for it.

If battery life matters - consider Apple, if not - solid Windows machine like Thinkpad series, if you start and budget matters - buy cheap second hand, run apps on this and you will figure out what not working. Good second hand from business lines like mentioned before Thinkpad line can be used in future as spare laptop.

32GB AMD running Windows. You can put all sorts of VMs on it. Your target servers will surely run Linux unless you work for a Windows-centric org.

Or just use the native OS.

Both of those will be fine. But for the price you can find something better. I'd go for more ram.

You could use a 10 year old laptop for that. Definitely don't need something super fancy for programming in general. If you have money to burn, macs are fine. Plenty of sub-$1k laptops will do just fine...I like Asus

You don't need anything crazy to program. ProBook is actually overkill.

EDIT: it depends on the programming you're looking to do, but at the same time, most programming languages don't require you to have the craziest laptop.

Budget ?

Bought a thinkpad e16 for my father 6 months ago, its pretty good overall and the build quality seems to be great as well.

I definitely would say to stay away from Dell inspiron series, i had one and the hinges broke 3 times until it finally was out of warranty and Dell quoted me 15k to fix it again.

I also have a HP 15s which is mediocre with a low quality shitty display with 45% sRGB TN panel

I think you should definitely go for a thinkpad

Edit: most thinkpad have a 45% NTSC IPS panel so its not the best you can get in terms of display quality. I'd recommend getting something with 99% or 100% sRGB if you will do any UI work or photo editing or watching movies

Thinkpad is what you're referring.

You can see Samsung laptop too if you're in Samsung ecosystem.

Budget is 80K

For coding and no gaming or video editing, get the Asus Vivobook with 13900H for 79k. Purpose built for those requirements.
