it is shit for gaming indeed
it's shit for pro apps too
And *most* people that buy a laptop with a discreet GPU are gonna do that for gayming
@Droidbot Hol up. What CPU is that you got a playable Overwatch on?
And I think we are mainly targetting those
*Still* you could probably have a decent desktop setup for cheaper even with a Quadro/Firepro
Better than my i7-whatever. <:iosthink:328535776843268105>
literally quadro k2200 would go toe to toe with that meme of a GPU and it's like $150
yeah most likely getting cheaper model used elitebook or thinkpad would still be able to do those fixes
and play average joe games
According to the first benchmark I found.
and that's only because SNX wants its meme double precision
most pro apps don't even use it
indeed
but snx is a workload where if you're paying for it, you can afford to buy a top of the line machine
if I remember correctly it's like 10k USD a year
it is :D
just included that there as comparison not as actual usecase for such shitty laptop :D
but yeah my point still is there is usecases for many average joes where laptop just suits them better (gaming model or not) than desktop
In and out of dorms
(and gayming, not business only)
average joe gayming wise plays probly 2-3 hours a day at max
and not everyday at that
And on a consolw
^
Well if we go by that standard I'd say average joe isn't gonna buy a laptop but a tablet
yeah that future is coming soon tho
*But*
now that tables become more and more actualy usable
Tablet has no use
It doesn't mean average joe is right in their buying decision
Laptop for minimal work even
id say yes, as it suits their usecase
Once again you need to compare what's comparable
Imagine using your phone for document editing and emails
(I do it frequently, hate it but it works™)
i hate browsing almost anything on phone or tablet tho :&
even tho id love to get actualy good tablet with working linux in it
Pine64 coming soon (never)
