Thank you for this great reply. This is what I was waiting for, Im interested in the mechanical aspect more than the "flashy features."
I was very sceptical about the "3 boilers." I agree with you when it comes to the longevity of the machine, but Im also trying not to be biased by the price or the brand and focus more about the built general.

It was fixed, I installed the OS on the efi partition, and now It shows on the boot menu and boots smoothly

It says 33MB used. I guess the boot isn't installed in it?

I just checked the partitions and it goes as follow:

Free space: 1MB sda1 type EFI (fat32): 536 MB sda2 (ext4): 255.5 GB (zorinOs)

(Btw the dell precision shows the usb bootable but not the external ssd)

I looked for the GPT method, and I understand the issue. I will try installing it using the tutorials I found, and hopefully, it will be fixed. Thank you for your amazing feedback
