@alcea My problem is more with #AntiRepairDesign and #garbage quality.

#Laptops without toolfree, hot-swapable batteries are a #WontBuy…

@lonseidman I did consider a #ThinkstationTiny ages ago and for their size they pack a lot of power, tho for an entry-level #compact #workstation they also cost a lot and whilst very maintainable, they ain't as versatile and upgradeable.

What did surprise me on that loaner unit you got sent in for #testing is that they kneecapped themselves with a single DIMM and a single NVMe SSD, which really kills at least 30-60% performance each, making no sense when it has the biggest GPU + CPU combo.

  • At least unlike the previous generations (i.e. #P360 Tiny) they chose to make it a dual-fan setup instead of having the #GPU needing to dissipate it's heat with a headpipe and finstack in the exhaust of the #CPU fan, making the system louder and hotter than it could be in the build volume it has...

Also whoever at #YouTube decided to shove shitty #dubbing over it:

  • Tell them STOP IT! It's an insult to me as a German native speaker to have worse quality than some #Memes and #Syncros people did 20 years ago!

If you paid for that voiceover, you should demand your money back!

@Linux_Is_Best Let's just say that this will at least make the fans run higher and shorten the lifespan of the MOSFETs if #Dell didn't design their board with sufficient over-capacity in mind.
There's a reason #Workstation|s and Servers only get shipped with a handful of configurations in terms of CPU.

Mind you this obvious like with the #ThinkstationTiny P360 where this is very obvious as the highest tier is like i9-12900T or a i7-12700 because it can only handle a 90W CPU and a 75W GPU in it.

@nixCraft 32GB is pretty lame...

If I could afford I I would've gotten myself a #ThinkStationTiny with 64GB RAM!
