Guess what the boss prefers to use.

I forget about this thread and once in a while I remember it...
But after all of these years, the "Is SAM Multiple People" thread remains the five most popular all time thread in the SW water cooler, lol.
And it's only quiet because the thread was locked! Imagine how busy it would be if people were allowed to post on it, still.

Doing D&D tonight.

Ubuntu 20.10 install time on the new laptop.

Finally extended the Root partition on my FreePBX, which has been giving me hourly emails for being at 78% capacity for like the past year... :man_facepalming: Nice to have my email back in check lol
You could not do any cleanup? The email threshold is 75% I believe.
I've been doing cleanup for a while and that would usually buy me a week or two without the onslaught of emails. The last updates I did pushed me up to 78% though. Not sure why I only gave it 15GB to start with, so another facepalm there.
Unless a system has some stupid large requirements, I go with 64GB minimum for the OS drive / root partition.
64 GB is my preferred minimum too.

Acer, oh, OK. What's the quality like? I work on lots of Acers but they are mostly the lower end Travelmates, they work, that's about it.

It's amazing how this varies. I do 20GB, used to do 24GB. Find that I almost never use the 20.
20GB seems to be a good spot for us. 15GB worked for years.

Great, we recommend them a lot for customers and are always jealous because the builds are so nice. They are one of my favourite laptops to work with. The Aspire 7 and Swift 3 lines are especially good deals.

For reference, the Acer Aspire 7 got me a nice quad core Ryzen 7 (equivalent of an entry level i7, quite powerful), 8GB (but I can expand to 32GB), 512GB NVMe SSD, 15.6" nice looking screen, nice feeling keyboard, nice trackpad, decently thin and light for the size, solid build feel, and a really nice discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 with 4GB. All for $749.

Oh yep. Looks like that model is around $AU1300 - $AU1500 down here.
Glad you like it.

That's $918 USD, so not far off. It's a nice unit, I'm still happy. And it's running 20.10 Beta no problem, too.
