Any plans for 15" anytime soon?
I just hope my current laptop can hold out till whenever that is, else it'll have to be the 16" MBP with $400 for 32GB RAM upgrade :(
- abstract_put 5y agoI'm really hopeful a 15" is not too distant (but seems like it might be). I have an aging Dell XPS 9550, but there's not been much I've wanted to jump at. I looked briefly at the System76 Kudu - are there any go-to 15" Linux-friendly workstations? It seems a lot of developer-type folks have moved to cloud focused work, at least in my bubble the raw computing power seems to be less and less valued.
- rgrmrts 5y agoI just got a Dell Precision 5560. I’m running FreeBSD on it, but based on hardware Linux should run well. It’s pretty powerful so far (comparable to my 2019 i9 mbp roughly but I haven’t measured). I’m not sure what battery life will be like. I haven’t finished tuning my installation so I can’t really measure reliably. Overall the hardware is really solid though.
- rgrmrts 5y agoUpdate: battery life was not great :’) I might stick with my MacBook Pro for a while longer.
