dang, repopulating my system is almost a pleasure with the Dell m17...

It is just so fast! Only downer to date, with Foxfire as default browser I couldn't open hyperlinks in my Bell email in Outlook. I hadn't encountered this before but I went the expedient route and just went back to Edge as default instead of mucking around in registry. Other than that, I should spend more time here as I downloaded Adobe reader without a thought - and maybe I should have given Foxit a try.

I'm thinking of picking up SpyderX Pro today - for $230 it seems a shame to subject this fantastic screen to my ancient Spyder2PRO. Or will I notice the difference?

Is it the gaming laptop?

For High Performance Gaming: Powered by 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 Processor, Windows 10 Home, 16GB memory, dual drives & NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2070 with Max-Q Design.

Any i7 or equivalent usually gives pleasure.

You'll find that Edge is pretty good, and it even does PDF as well. You can save as PDF from MS-Word, and this invokes Edge to create the file. Occasional large and complex PDFs refuse to print, so you still need Adobe.

Enjoy.

Yes, Alienware; i7 9750H CPU. I have a collection of rare philosophy books on my external hard drive - I definitely can't comfortably read them in Edge.

I have an i7 7500U from a couple of years back, and it's fine for most tasks, so the added benefits of 9750H would be nice, particularly when mated with SSD.

7500U vs. 9750H

We could read the PDF proof of a book chapter, but couldn't print it from Edge. I guess that the publisher uses something fairly heavy duty that's not covered by generic solutions.
