1165G7 Thoughts? Currently Using Ryzen 5800u
Basically my current laptop, Asus Zenbook 14 flip 2 in 1 OLED is lovely, the CPU is a little mid on battery, but generally, my only real gripe is with the RAM, at 16GB, its ok, but its constantly maxed
I was looking at a used XPS 9310 2 in 1, I do loose the OLED screen which sucks, but for ~£450-£500 you can get them with 32GB RAM, which is where I feel a lot more bottle necked at the moment
Thoughts on the overall swap/difference?
I do a lot of heavy server work, light coding, general laptop stuff, nothing heavy, but the RAM goes, the server stuff, as its not physically on this laptop, is browser based, and as such demolishes my RAM, CPU is generally not used so while its effectively a downgrade, I doubt it will be that noticeable, but not 100% sure here
Running Ubuntu at the moment, the Dell should actually work better than the Asus, its had a fair few issues tbh
