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

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

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]"

😐
