What's the ryzen one?

2019-05-28 15:02:10 UTC  

I mean what CPU do you have with that x200 ?

2019-05-28 15:02:30 UTC  

Then ofc inbuilt ups on laptops is nice feature at times

2019-05-28 15:02:34 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:02:51 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:03:17 UTC  

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)

2019-05-28 15:03:24 UTC  

So you could scratch it from the list

2019-05-28 15:03:55 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:04:09 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:04:11 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:05:00 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:05:25 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:05:44 UTC  

unless it has proper extra screen and kb+mouse

2019-05-28 15:06:00 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:06:15 UTC  

To be perfectly honest though

2019-05-28 15:06:20 UTC  

If you want to compare laptop to desktop

2019-05-28 15:06:22 UTC  

In gaming i mean

2019-05-28 15:06:37 UTC  

😉

2019-05-28 15:06:46 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:07:07 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:07:34 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:07:37 UTC  

(or not that much)

2019-05-28 15:07:42 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:07:59 UTC  

but that makes them tad bit more upgradable

2019-05-28 15:08:05 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:08:14 UTC  

So installing your external GPU is possible

2019-05-28 15:08:14 UTC  

indeed

2019-05-28 15:08:30 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:08:37 UTC  

[heat dissipation]

2019-05-28 15:08:37 UTC  

And not *that much* of a hassle

2019-05-28 15:08:52 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:09:06 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:09:15 UTC  

so such devices become more and more valid options

2019-05-28 15:10:05 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:10:29 UTC  

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

2019-05-28 15:10:54 UTC  

But then again, I have a different usecase

not that much improvement over SKL

2019-05-28 22:20:31 UTC  

😂 👌

2019-05-28 22:21:42 UTC  

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