Medium, yeah, low/very low, nah

Even for medium settings (and decent framerate) you're gonna need a beast (for a laptop)

some do in low but yeah in low-very low mark it starts to become up to devs if they wanted to see effort for those

You can drop like 600 and be perfectly fine

1050/ti is good enough, vidya is a meme tho

https://youtu.be/qY6e23zLPvU?t=9m16s

Intel

Even on desktop 1050 is very barely appropriate for 'serious' gaming

Jajajaja

Pro gamer larpers are prime market

Yeah and?

?

What I'm trying to point out is that the kind of performance you get for those mid/high end laptop could be achieved for a way cheaper pricemark on desktop

!

+ upgradeability

Wow

can someone write this down? that's some incredible findings

Youre a genius mate

ikr

Im still playing the normie popular games fine on a 5 year old i3 and a 750ti

https://youtu.be/qbYzglicJc4?t=2m41s

Lowest settings on an older CPU.

I got a gaymer meme a few years ago but vr made it worthwhile

The thing is, with the price difference of a gaming desktop vs gaming laptop you could buy yourself a lightweight laptop and remotely do whatever you want on your desktop without that much of a difference in useability

^

It might have not been possible 5 years+ ago, but nowadays it's very much doable with very little effort

Just ssh in for rendering, normie shit like videos, word processing etc is fine on a laptop

Yeah

okay so lets drop the meme here https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-Overclockable-Aeroblade-PH315-51-78NP/dp/B07CTHLX8C

<:alismirk:230784726615588865>

invidual performance set for same price go

I wouldn't say ssh tho because it's kinda not very well made for remote desktop but well

Some dude at uni had a laptop like that, @Tervy.

remember to include equal monitor, some form of keyboard and mouse oh and the remote laptop too to the price

with intel I can save on heating costs, AMD btfo once again

Sure

He got something like 5-10 minutes of battery life.

@kontroll hahahaha most likely

I'm *barely* memeing too, that's the scary part.

and thats more like draggable than portable too

if you use a laptop like this unironically as a portable device you will $100% be labeled as an autist to basically everyone, techie or non-techie

like i used to think carrying a thinkpad was autist enough but

@Windatica Dude... man... 😦

I have a ThiccPad with an Arch sticker on it.

I attract autisticos left and right.

I regret everything.

take the stickers off

somehow this doesnt surprise me

Earlier this semester some dude came up to me, all gayflirty-like, "Hey, I noticed your Arch sticker. I use Ubuntu myself. Do you use vim?"

And a week or two ago some guy went "Hey, I use a ThinkPad too! [proceed to chat about ThinkPad things]"

😐

maybe you just looked lonely and they thought you might need some friends @kontroll

🤔

That last guy... you might be right.

are you in compsci? compsci has a lot of weird kids in my uni

The usual nerds I talk to hadn't showed up yet as I was waiting outside the lecture hall.

Nop. Basically as far removed from that as is "reasonable."

(I'm taking English and History)

@Tervy here you go https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JDG8Vdr-77XptjiaUCfSU7gpXBxy4o0l4xryXknD5Ao/edit?usp=sharing

Idk why I'm excited about building a new computer with betterer performances.

I barely play any gaymes anyway...

And before you tell me it's only 100 USD cheaper, your laptop have a way better deal than most of the components I chose

And except for the RAM (which is obviously not the most expensive thing in the setting, and only have a 16% rebate), almost everything is full priced

CPU is way better, GPU is a tad lower

That's mainly because I couldn't find a GPU that wasn't disproportionately more powerful and expensive

Who is that link for?

Tux sticker on the x60

Also Amazon.com only because I'm very lazy

nm

I'm blind.

Buying a huge gaming laptop hurts the laptop part since its a pain

That + your back but if you're young enough you probably don't care about that (yet)

The x200 is literally perfect for note taking

Also probably couldn't find the best deals ever because I'm not murican so I don't know where the good deals are

Small, light, durable, 16:10

Yeah

I have an X270

This thing is fucking great

Based

The only downside is that I don't have the most advanced model (no 2nd battery and no fingerprint reader)

But that's mainly quality of life stuff

Thats still missing the laptop you are using to remote into desktop (so extra 100-300) and does not have apparently bluetooth nor wireless

I got that too, its ok and ryzeb

N

For the laptop I assumed you didn't want to include it but yeah since it's 100 USD cheaper (and once again probably more if you lurk for good deals) you can get a difference big enough for a good laptop

And if i were bitch id say its also missing the assembly service :P

Bluetooth and wireless are... well I'll say unecessary but it's mainly my usecase

Though it's probably gonna be around a few tens bucks

And assembly yeah it's gonna be nitpicking here

It's really easy af nowadays

But indeed same pricepoints for near equal performance with more effort and zero mobility

What's the ryzen one?

I mean what CPU do you have with that x200 ?

Then ofc inbuilt ups on laptops is nice feature at times

Yeah, but you're forgetting a lot of stuff if you just stop the comparison here

Here I took it from nothing, like you don't own anything beforehand

If I were to apply that to me or a lot of people I could re-use my case /PSU/ screen and maybe a few other things (SSD and *maybe* ram)

So you could scratch it from the list

So technically you could get better if you compared it for a more lenghty period of time

(because let's be honest, upgrading a laptop is a joke)

but i do admit that comparing desktop vs that Helios was intentional as AC-wireless and 144hz+ IPS monitor rises the price quite bit

but yeah they are equal prices in paper just for different kind of preferences and usage times

i would never work on laptop more than 3 hours continously (even that is at times pushing it)

unless it has proper extra screen and kb+mouse

but most people know they dont need it that much but still want that performance for when they do

To be perfectly honest though

If you want to compare laptop to desktop

In gaming i mean

17:05] Tervy: i would never work on laptop more than 3 hours continously (even that is at times pushing it)
[17:05] Tervy: unless it has proper extra screen and kb+mouse

😉

You should probably compare mid/high end laptop WITHOUT GPU and use an external GPU

Just like a desktop, the case is gonna be costy the first time, but it's gonna be reusable with future generations

And you're gonna get almost desktop performance without killing your components with the heat

(or not that much)

true even tho that still defeats the mobility and form factor what laptops give

but that makes them tad bit more upgradable

Yeah... but then I imagine a use case where you don't game in a plane/train but in a more "stationary" position

So installing your external GPU is possible

indeed

You still have to carry it around, but that's doable

[heat dissipation]

And not *that much* of a hassle

Since it's external it's way less of a pain to manage actually

thank god those external drives (and our connector protocols) are jumping leaps and bounds lately

so such devices become more and more valid options

Yeah... but I still don't feel confident with using them for sensitive datas

I'd rather waste a lot of time and money into upgrading an internal SSD/HDD in a laptop than carry an external drive

But then again, I have a different usecase

not that much improvement over SKL

😂 👌

skl was only that slow because intel nerfed the dualcores at normal tdp

Fooking chink nibbas...!

I turned off the brightness auto adjust feature.

There's still a milder version of the shit running...

(RN7)

That is retarded, time to flash a new rom

Agreed.

Is wangblows 1905 finally out?

i think it is

I seem to be stuck at 1809

rollout is gradual anyway apparently

>check updates
>you're up to date

>check again

>downloading update

Thanks windows

Yes, that's intentional @Millwood

By clicking check update twice you override it

And skip the rollout

Woah really?

Yeah I read something like that recently

It's new since last release

Interesting

Still didn't get the 1905 though, it was just don'te minor updates

because 1905 isn't released yet

Whyd you want updates?

It's not? I thought it's out

Ok then

@Millwood Better than Xiaomeme though.

"UPDATE AVAILABLE"

>start updater

>no updates

3d nand vs TLC

Which is better

TLC is 3d nand

Trying to chose between these 2 ssds

https://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Samsung-860-Evo-1TB-vs-Adata-Ultimate-SU800-1TB/m423831vs3914

i would stick with the samsung just because they're a reliable brand

besides that, crucial and intel

samsung gives you a 5 year warranty

while the adata is 3 years

other than that, the samsung one is a little faster

I have an Adata drive. It's okay. I haven't benchmarked it, and it hasn't broken. It performs well enough for me.

also the samsung one has SLC cache

while the adata one does not

That said, if they're similarly priced, I would go for the Samsung alternative. Feels better, I guess.

MX500 1TB is also worth a look

it's cheaper than the samsung one

That explains why the adata one is 50 euro cheaper

my g102 is doubleclicking, are aliexpress mouse switches good as replacement

just get a an intellimouse pro

:^)

i'm just looking to fix my mouse

they all use omron/huano switches in the end so it doesnt matter

they come from the same factories

there is no issue in replacing an omron with a huano?

as long as the pinout and dimensions matter, no

Are there that many kinds

How do you even know which one you would want

by feeling

wrong

by listening to shitposters on the internet

true

if you buy modern cherry switches ur a cuck btw

:^)

Feeling?

That feel when nice keyboard switch

you buy the most meme-y switched that you can find then you yell at people o the internet if they get a different switch than you

Finally notches and holes in screen can die

Haha thought that was a folding meme for a sec

Id atleast like to be able to cover the camera without messing the screen, the notch was pointless anyway, it was like a cm on top for speakers/sensors too

so

will this raise prices of screen replacements?

and did in-screen fingerprint sensors raise prices of screens?

Is the screen on top of the camera internally, does it go in a slot or is it embedded

@Cole question is more that does the system regonise the fingerprint reader as "valid device" when switched

fair point, too

if they are done smartly(secure as possible) the identifiers of reader would be tied to chip so no other reader would work unless devtooled into the security chip at legit repairshop

tho considering inscreen fingerprint readers... when you can open your phone with knuckles, other peoples fingerprints, tissue boxes, apples , what not
