I am looking at a Dell laptop to travel in couple of months, three times lighter than my alieware (also Dell)

Dell's seem to last well. As far as bloatware, Dell business machines seem to have considerably less. Looks like a great pick Ron.

These numbers seem a little odd.

If you have only 100 gigabyte of HD space you have used more space than the HD supports. How large is your hard drive and/or how much free space do you have left?

Need Computer Help

How much of your hard drive space is used and how much space does it support. When was the last time you had a system purge? Do you know how many programs are running in the background? Have you scanned for malware or viruses lately?

To much technology

No worries, the CEO of Richoh believes mirrorless cameras are a fad and we'll slip back into DSLR's. You all set DennyT :)

Windows 11

Win 10, which was installed without authorization, messed up so many things I made them put me back on Win 7. Not supported, but works darn well so far. I'm due for a new computer, I suppose Win 11 will be unavoidable.

More often than not, upgrading instead of clean installations are less reliable.

Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6

As Tom mentioned, the R5 would be a better choice for birding but if weight saving is the main goal, you won't find any substantial saving going to mirrorless unless you go micro four thirds. Both the Canon RF 85 1.2 & RF 50 1.2 weigh more than the EF counterpart. As to the going with the R6 I myself wouldn't go backwards in megapixel on a new purchase considering you have Mark IV.

I have to admit that I have never seen this littleone, I wonder if I can run two 600w units at the same time. Thank you for the suggestion.

It has dual sockets but it's not recommended using the modeling lights.

Flash off camera

You have a couple of choices. Either buy a Nikon transceiver so it can communicate with your Nikon flashes or buy a Godox X1R-N TTL Wireless Flash Trigger Receiver (for Nikon) for each flash you want to use.

You can either buy the Godox brand or Adorama's Flashpoint version. Flashpoint is just a rebrand of Godox. The advantage with Adorama is *in house service*.

Trix mentioned a third option with buying Godox flashes instead.
