main issue for me is 5 year accidental. with 7760, they been here 5 or 6 times now replacing this godIO&*&%^&%^&& keyboard.... paint peeling, keys stop working, so.... ya, i mean, if 7780 goes on clearance next year, ill consider it, but right now. i may just keep using this and my razor which has 3090 and 13th gen cpu

i have a 7760 and it's 4 years, i still have 1 year on accidental. i dont think 7780 is an upgrade unfortunately, as i am mostly looking for newer cpu's... ideally i'd want them to use and, but u know... but tb5 for docks, sounds nice and maybe worth it 2560x1600 i think?

i dont need more than 32gb ram, but i want the fastest ram possible... i.e as ill use it for 5 years, i want the best chance for it to stay viable 🙂 decisions decisions...

understood, but are those even available? sounds like I am either skipping this year or getting alienware area-51. But, I have a razer laptop from few years ago, I made convert into my daily driver and skip a few more generations!

q is. if u buy sodimm, can u move to camm or is it a different motherboard, i'd imagine it'd have to be..... maybe i missed 64gb module... i'd be enough with 32gb.. right now, this config is so pricey... my 7760 with 5 year accidental was below $2500 with tax and a4000... now it's $6600 before any discounts, so my guess, i could get it to like $4k, which is a huge price hike!

did I see this right but there is no 64gb ram option and upgrade from 16gb to 128gb camm is $1895!>!>!>!>!

area-51 does have things I need. 3 usb-a ports. power plug in the back. but I wonder if it has fingerprint reader alongside with windows hello

Sucks that it only has 2 USB-A since I have wireless headset/mouse occupying both and 3rd would be nice for usb flash drive swappage, for example. Also sucks that no back power connector as they had for a long time, which I always preferred as well.

let's hope dell will allow that. over the years, their desktops were very persnickety to what ram they allowed.

I think it says that it draws over 280w. Are there usb-c connectors that support that much power? If so, shoooooooooot, I hope not.

I like having options, so I am all for different screens, but personally, I do not want a glossy screen. And, if you make it OLED Matte, then you'll lose most of the color accuracy, etc. Also, I think it would use more power (but I guess who uses these on an actual battery?). I just hope the power plug is still in the back and they will allow to order gaming GPU online... but, it's still far away enough, than who knows what will happen at launch!

My only guess that there are either no OLED panels made fpr 18" , or they are made by exclusive to some brand. Or maybe they will be unveiled later. I wonder what's better camm or normal ram if same capasity.

we shall see, of course... and yes, I would also hope for 2560x1600 on the 18" feels like it'll offer the best of both worlds...

interesting on the 200w tdp 18" maybe it means they will let you order 5090 online now, vs calling only?? anything on the type of screens? dont want 4k, but want a nice quality 1440p, possibly micro led
