Thanks for the suggestion, but I wouldn't tamper with a brand new laptop buy replacing components right away and then what do I do with the old RAM and SSD? I think I'll stick with my choices. And yes, while travelling I very likely will be carrying the laptop in a backpack all day in some cases.

I'm in Toronto Canada. If I compare features, the base 12th Gen is 13th Gen in the XPS15, and the graphics card is upgraded from Intel Iris Xe Graphics to Intel Arc 4370M 4GB. If I keep the rest of the features the same the price is $600 more the weight is 1.62lb heavier and the width and height...

I know. Even the XPS15 is better (although way more expensive), but my main concern is weight and size, and after lots of research this seems to be the best value with that in mind.

Thanks for the speedy replies. Yes, I plan to get 32GB of memory and 1TB storage for travel, I was just concerned that you can't upgrade the Display with those options, but it sounds like it's all good, I should be fine. I will not be doing any heavy graphic or video editing work, I just need to...

I am considering buying the Dell XPS 13 and I would like feedback about it's suitability given my requirements. The most important consideration for me is portability as this laptop will be used for travel and it rates very well as a light weight, small footprint laptop. But I also need it to...

OK thanks

It seems to me, that if it makes a clone of all the data on the HD that would include the registry, and all of the settings, and links to file systems etc. relating to each program, as it is all data as far as the HD is concerned and you are cloning all of that as well, are you not? The only...

Has anyone had success with using one of the cloning programs to move existing PC programs to a new computer? I am not concerned about Windows 10, but I have some installed programs which cannot be relicensed to a new PC. My only option is to be able to clone my existing hard drive, unless I...

Thanks. Can you recommend a power supply (that will fit of course) that I can use for the 2060. Should I get a newer Corsair model? And, according to USAFret (see solved post above) "Your CPU and motherboard will not support that level of CPU. " So, who is correct? Can I use one of the Adobe...

corsair CX430 80 plus bronze

According to Adobe I CAN use one of these. Can you confirm if any of these will work in my motherboard? NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 4Gig NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4Gig NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6Gig Thanks Charles

Thanks for all this. Premiere Pro is the only contentious issue - this is Adobe's fault, in my opinion, for not making their programs backwards compatible. I still use Premiere Pro 2019 without a problem, for now, until they stop supporting it. Otherwise, than Adobe's built-in warning that tower...

Good to know my 5 year old build is now obsolete :) and I shouldn't waste any money on upgrading it. So, my problem with building or purchasing a new PC tower, aside from what to buy that won't be obsolete in another 5 years, is how to transfer some software which is licensed to that PC and is...

Thanks. I'm not sure if the 4790K would be compatible. The Adobe recommended driver update does not support Haswell. Can you recommend a specific GPU manufacturer and model? I'm not familiar with these.

I would like to upgrade the graphics on my Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5 MB so I no longer get the "Unsupported Video Driver" alert in Premiere Pro 2021. These are the relevant specs for my desktop tower (I built it myself, it's not an OEM). Processor Intel Core i7 4770S - Haswell - Socket 1150 LGA...
