Comment on Anon's PC works
Acters@lemmy.world 4 days agoI’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.

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.

Any friends of mine who got a framework 16 would be at risk of losing an expensive laptop
