Even not considering processors from Intel/AMD? > I don't think you've ever shopped for laptops, I've purchased 6 in my life. > Looking for the specific combination of having 32gb of ram, 1tb of SSD, an AMD CPU (with Intel's current manufacturing woes I was not willing to gamble), an NVIDIA GPU with a minimum of 8 gb of vram took far more efforts than I am normally to spend doing activities like shopping. So be less picky or find a laptop that lets up upgrade the parts. > I don't feel like wasting time shipping crap myself when I could just exchange it in place if it happened. Fine, but this is a compromise you are willing to make, just like paying for the NPU. That's my point. You don't need a super modern laptop. |
