I have a 9th gen i7. It sounds pretty good, until you look at the i3-13100F which is 30% faster. CPUs have had a huge jump in performance in the last few generations. The laptop is a Dell Precision 5540 from roughly ~2019-2020. I recently received an upgrade to 64GB of ram which helps a lot, but the main bottleneck is the CPU.
For many people it might sound like a good machine. For certain developers, sure, it’s great. But when you work on a complex project written in 3-4 different languages, with a complex build system… it’s pretty bad.
The company has a 5 year machine replacement policy… I have to use this slow piece of shit another 2 years until I can get it replaced.
Yes, 40gb is right. To be fair, we only use it for copying files. Cost cutting because AWS costs money.
