Hi all,
I am looking for a new laptop for work (academic research) and I would greatly appreciate some technical help. My main activities are statistical analysis with dedicated software, spreadsheet, writing, presentations, video conferencing and cloud work.
I am looking for a lightweight, durable laptop with full SSD hard drive and non-plastic chassis, for safer portability. I am attracted by the form factor and the magnesium body of the Fusion Studio 14, with the specification attached below. My budget would be around £1,300. I have some questions related to my needs that I could not solve on my own: 1) What would be an approximate weight for the complete laptop (and the adaptor)? 2) Is there a significant difference in speed (besides for gaming) between the Corsair 2933MHz and the 2666MHz (if not, I would maybe opt for the 64 GB 2666MHz)? Alternatively, is the RAM replaceable on this build? 3) Is there a strong reason for choosing the 1TB SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 3500MB/R, 3300MB/W) hard disk over the 1TB INTEL 670p M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 3500MB/sR | 2500MB/sW), which would be cheaper, besides the writing speed? 4) Can I connect an external video with the integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics? Any strong reason for adding the NVIDIA GPU given my needs? Finally, any general suggestions or issues I haven't considered?
