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

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
(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...!
