But which of these new models will have AI?!

At least it will be clear which one is high tier and which is the opposite. Precision and latitude are incomparable except one reads their specs. Also, I assume they aren't touching G-series and that's the only one that matters to me:) G15 is just an amazing product.

I mean… Dell Pro Max?

What would you’ve understood if it was Apple Pro Max; a laptop, a desktop, an iPhone or software if not a subscription package?

Intensely dumb.

EDIT: The Pro Plus Premium Max etc words all jumbled up together just don't fit well with me. I'd need to keep referring to the chart in the article to avoid confusing between all the models.

Not sure which is the dumbest, Jaguar letting go of its signature mark or HBO renaming themselves to just Max but would be funny if Apple abandoned the Max naming for Ultra.

I-- wow. I read this article and I have no idea what they're thinking. How does this simplify anything?!

Resurrecting their commercials from the 90’s now, it would go like this:

Duuuude, you’re gettin’ a Dell.

Oh….. dang.

Why the fuck did it even take them that long? Alienware acquisition was in 2006.

[–] alchemist2023@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

so honestly, who would you use now? I'd never buy HP, Acer, Lenovo. total crap machines. what other brands of laptop are any good going into 2025/2026? The XPS was always my go-to but now what options are remaining?

At this point I build my desktops and I'll buy Framework laptops.

As I work with HP and HPE at work:
Just don't buy anything below ProBook and EliteBook. They are trash.

In fact, don't buy anything you see at an electronic retailer without looking and inspecting the product very intensely.
And buy the business-line. They are usually better than consumer product lines.

I love my framework, though it's not as small and battery efficient as my previous xps 13

[–] krdo@programming.dev 3 points 3 weeks ago

I honestly still like Thinkpad. Using a T14s currently.
