[–] ElBarto@piefed.social 2 points 9 months ago (3 children) Whoa, what laptop did you end up getting? 64GB? Nice! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago (2 children) It was an HP Elitebook with 64GB of ram and 1TB nvme drive for $800 (it had stacked discounts at the time). The price then shot up a month later to twice that, so I can't really regret it based on the current ram price insanity. Still, my coworker just got a framework a few months ago and I can't help feeling jealous. I am mostly annoyed by the lack of built in ethernet port, fuck wifi. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ElBarto@piefed.social 2 points 9 months ago (1 child) Thanks! Yeah, lack of ethernet ports is annoying. I bought a USB adapter to have one. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago I mean, I did the same, but I've tried a few now from reputable brands and they keep timing out or just not working properly until I reboot. permalink fedilink source parent
