Yeah I'm daily-ing a laptop from 2019 with an i7-9750, a GTX1650, and 16 gb of RAM. No upgrades except storage. The GPU is the only thing that sometimes makes me go "hm."
I'm daily driving a laptop with i7 9750h and 1660ti. Unfortunately I had to convert it to desk only as battery is dead and removed, and touch pad seems to have also broke. Still CPU and GPU work fine. I still wonder if I will upgrade and if I can afford it ever anymore. I bought this laptop for 800 new. Idk, I want a framework just because of repairable nature but I would need to spend close to 2k to match the current 64GB RAM and 2TB of storage.
My old guy's battery is still fine (for reference, fine means about 2-4 hours of screen time, which is about the same as new) but that's only because I keep it locked to 60% and use it as a desktop. I also would want to upgrade to a framework but god they're pricey. Especially the dGPU ones.
this is what I used to get, between 2-5 hours depending on how light to work and strict the power restrictions are. yes I wish to get the framework 16 with dGPU, I really need to save so much cash, so pricey. its the only laptop worth its cost though. so capable and I love the idea that I can baby it(with the usual repairs like battery and keyboard/trackpad) and the internals can be shelved or repurposed.
my friend got one before me. Imagine how jealous I am and gushing in fanboy-ish enthusiasm.
Any friends of mine who got a framework 16 would be at risk of losing an expensive laptop
