I'm looking at this as a replacement for CF-31 MK4. But that is a tough act to follow. Has anyone bought an FZ-55 to comment or compare. I know that (of course) it is newer and at least some models can run Windows 11, And it has wider screen, and it is very up-gradable through modules. The thing I a...

Nothing that I have tried, sounds complicated and easier on a desktop than a laptop, but maybe this will help:

Which MacBook Pro 2012? Retina, or non-retina? Non-retina can take up to 16 GB Ram, and at least a 1TB SSD, (maybe more). I have personally used Crucial MX500 1TB (with Big Sur via OCLP) and SK Hynix Gold S31 1 TB (with Catalina -- no fudging necessary). I am using Catalina on MacBook Pro 2012 non-r...

For now, I'm stuck on CF-31 MK4. Like Stewboy, I've bumped RAM to 16 GB, 1TB SSD, and Tecrotech webcam. This is a hard laptop to beat! I've debated getting MK6, but I would have to sacrifice PC Card reader, and ExpressCard reader. So no MK6 for me. I've also been looking at FZ-55, but the drop ratin...

Good to see toughbooktalk back up!

Thanks Rob!

Didn't think of that. Let's try again:
