I grabbed a couple. Aren't the 16GB DDR5 modules worth almost the price of the laptop?
They are if you can remove and resell. Otherwise, they only worth it if you need one. It looks like a good deal, no doubt. But, hey, this is SD. Always want something better 🙃
Click "Get Deal at Retailer". Link in the post takes to the Hot Deals page without the filter and showed a lot more items other than this Precision laptops. So, I removed it.

im not sure which one to get.
One has 32gb ram with nvidia A1000 video card, the other is 16gbram with Nvidia A2000 card.
Anyone have any input? For my kids in middleschool to play games and schoolwork. Maybe some graphic design. Hoping this can last 4 years and keep up with their gaming needs into high school.

Many on Reddit saying these had major issues with thermals. Anyone know if fixed?
I've used a bunch of xps 15s and precisions around this gen (including for work). In my experience the i9 thermals are much worse, I recommend the i7. The a2000 is much better than the a1000, but will likely be harder to cool. Would be good to know if these can be undervolted.
I've repadded multiple 5540s and 5560s with ptm7950 and it makes a big difference. Do replace all the vrm pads when doing this.
If these are the 'refurbished by fedex' ones don't expect much was done beyond cleaning.
Well It's mostly for web browsing, excel, ocasional light gaming (titles like snow runner, forza 5, gta v, simulator mechanic '18), some fusion 360 design not complex models, Slicers for 3d printing, a bit of lightroom, light photoshop. I'm replacing my old trusty laptop lol a lenovo y480 which it has an i7-3610qm/16gb ram, 512 ssd Yeah it's still rocking like a champ, but definitely need something newer with way better resolution.
For my needs I think either one will do fine, I have been watching some reviews and those Arc140 igpu's seems to perform very good.
I mean if you are doing all of that on your current machine, this is unquestionably an upgrade. Like, a big one. Either way, if that is the machine you currently use, PLEASE BUY THIS.
