i have several dell latitudes here for work, ive taken apart hundreds of these (3330, 3340, 3480, precision m3800 and more), just migrated from a latitude E7270 - i5-6300u @2.4ghz 8gb ddr4, 120gb m.2 ssd
still a decent laptop, nice keyboard, bit heavy nowdays though

to an latitude 7390 - i5-8250u @ 1.8ghz, 16gb ddr4, 256gb m.2 ssd
less weight but keyboard sucks and it overheats doing basic stuff (such as an av scan) unless you disable intel turbo boost. dell say thats the fix for their bad cooling design Confused

Overheating isn't problem of Dell, its problem of Intel. Those processors simply sux. Its 5 years old architecture (Skylake core architecture) and even manufacturing process (14nm) is 5 years old. You can't rise number of cores and frequencies without problems with heat and high power consumption. And this is the reason, why Intel processors throttling and overheating in laptops.

About myself. I forgot to post, that I upgraded my custoMac. I needed more computing power so I was looking for 8-core CPU. Finally I decided to buy cheap and powerful setup for multimedia.
My current setup:

  • Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite
  • AMD Ryzen 7 2700x @ 4GHz
  • 16GB DDR4 3000MHz
  • Sapphire Radeon Rx480 4GB
  • 500GB SSD + 250GB SSD + 3TB HDD + BD-RE
  • Chieftec 650W 80+ Gold
  • Corsair Carbide 300R
  • LMP KB-1243-SG + Logitech M705

Re: Show your PC here.

small update (lol its exactly 1 year since my last post)

I wanted to upgrade graphic card one year ago, but you know how is it with graphic cards... Iam interested in Radeon Rx 6800 XT. But for some normal price (under 1000€), not for price of whole computer.

Case is Jonsbo umx4. combination of aluminium and glass (and steel inside).

Re: Show your PC here.

Big grin This setup with wireless logitech marathon mouse and logitech mousepad is ok for common singleplayer games. I play Fallout series atm (iam in the end of fallout 2 now). But iam ready even for multiplayer games. I have 4 different gaming mice in the table drawer and even bigger new asus mousepad (the same like on older photo).

Edit;New graphic card is installed. Gigabyte Radeon Rx 6800 XT.
Edit2: RAM upgraded to 2x16GB bcos of Forza Horizon 5 (it uses about 19GB of RAM on max details) + upgraded SSD for Windows OS and games to Samsung 980 1TB
