Specifically the Precision 5560.
I need a laptop for uni that if my mom is serious, is gonna be the last device she buys me till I'm working and making enough money to buy my own.
And I've been searching like crazy to find a good durable one within our ability to afford that is also upgradeable of needed.
I settled on a used 11th gen i7, Precision 5560 with 16Gb ram and an Nvidia Graphics T1200.
It looked gorgeous, well built and very capable for all my current (coding, video editing and some gaming) and potential future needs
But then I decided to search up reddit opinions on this series of laptops and mixed is an understatement.
Some people think Precisions are heavy, over-heating, underperforming (despite good specs on paper) pieces of garbage with motherboards apparently prone to failure.
And others think they're durable, high-performing, reliable workhorses that'll never let you down as long as you treat em right.
And I'm so confused now.
Are they good or are they not?
Other than the fact that it's used, the device looks basically perfect on paper.
But am I likely to be in for a disappointment or will I probably be happy with my purchase?
Please convince me whether or not to buy this device at this time.
