hello everyone, i am not dead. Its been awhile.

 

E: Ive been looking at new ultrabooks for school, as i likely have another 4 or 5 years of that coming up, and ive been looking at high end devices like the xps 13. however ive been struggling on weather its worth it to make sure i have an 8th gen cpu. I dont just want this device for now, but hopefully another 5 years, so would a quad core 8th gen i5 be more "future proof" than a dual core 7th gen i7

    new nvidia architecture should be coming by soon, so better efficient laps with that on board on slimmer form factor would come by real nice.

    I'm not too worried about having a gpu on board. I have my desktop for gaming and thurndbolt docks are getting better lately and I find that I'd perfer batterly life on the go for productivity

    probably have to compare benchmarks for cpu perf, but i'd say go with the latest if you want efficiency especially if you're planning to use it for longer. those tiny bits of performance bump adds up.

    Well I believe there are some decent Ryzen 5 laptops that are fairly light.

    Unfortunately, I kinda felt that Ryzen 7 APUs for mobile were kinda disappointing.
