  Weird configuration, relatively weak CPU paired with massive amounts of RAM, in a budget “business class” chassis.

  It’s only a deal if you need 64GB RAM without the need of a powerful CPU or GPU for some edge case use. Even then I’d take a look at other, better all rounder laptops and see if you can upgrade them.

    Good for Chrome tabs

    Things like spreadsheet and music productions will do well on these machines. And the xe graphics is enough for photoshop. Or simply have 50 chrome tab up, which is surprisingly useful in many office settings.

    For a Lattitude, it makes sense.

      I have 100+ chrome tabs lol but unless you got 10 monitors connected to your setup pointless having so many chrome tabs open. Most don't go back to those tabs - I haven't.

        See, I thought that's the case as well, but I've worked in finance companies before, and since internet explorer was phased out, a few of them have moved to chrome based CRMs and database clients. So I know offices where majority, if not all, of their work flow is based on Chromium, and would have 3 to 4 instance of it at once.

        Whether that's warrants 64gb, I dunno, but even 16gb is surprisingly a bottleneck in office environments.

    The overwhelming percentage of users benefit from larger amounts of ram vs a powerful cpu. Modern i3/5 have plenty enough grunt to meet the requirements of a standard user. For the small percentage of the population doing cpu intensive workloads they most likely wont be looking at this machine

    Good deal if you need a somewhat reliable machine, but also want to upgrade another laptop by swapping out the memory and disk.

    $200 for 2TB disk and 64GB RAM is pretty decent.

      “Reliable” is very questionable. These 3000 series latitudes are business laptops in name only. They may have fleet management features built in but that’s it. Similarly priced consumer laptops with a “regular” amount of storage and RAM are usually built better.

        Agreed. These have a flimsy plastic chassis. Built like an Inspiron except with all bottom cover screws captive. I don't recommend.

  yep very odd config, the big ssd is useful, but the ram is overkill, as said by the time you load up anywhere close to the 64gb the system would be choking massively with everything running

  Is there better for $999 or less? I have a weird case of non tech mother in law who won't do much, nothing intensive, but I'm thinking 16gb and any size SSD is a minimum requirement for windows and drop-proofing vs hdd

    Get the $799 model instead

      8gb and meh CPU for $799 seems poor value

      If it was $650 and I could upgrade the ram, yeah

    Would this be good for running machine and deep learning with this i5?

    *edit: It seems the USB Type-C 3.2 Gen2 will be a limiting factor with an eGPU, since its 10Gbps.

      Big models will work, but very slowly…

      Also, this one actually has a single Type-C 3.2 Gen2 as well, but it doesn't have a Thunderbolt port, which is needed for eGPUs.

  Basically open boxed (demo) computers. All "upgraded" parts won't be covered by Dell warranty.

    You can't buy 64GB of RAM and 2TB SSD for $130. OP's deal is good if you are looking for these strange specs.

    • 

      jasonc on 05/05/2024 - 06:21

      As most have mentioned above, the value of 64gb of ram with that processor is very limited. I would value 3 years warranty over those, and upgrade the hard drive and ram as required

      • 

        Aureus on 05/05/2024 - 09:41

        Yeah. As I said, good value if you are looking for these strange specs.

  When there is 8gb, people complain, and when there is 64gb, people complain. Cant win.
