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

Honestly I don't think so (for average joe not using pro apps)

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)

@dee I don't see the problem. I'd edit shit on my phone.

But then to get back on the topic, if you want to be a bit serious on gaming, laptop is gonna be a hassle and/or price will skyrocket

As long as I also lugged a keyboard and mouse along with me.

Like those meme nerds.

And I'm not talking about trying to max out everything and anything

Which I won't, so fuck it.

Just try to play any random *current year* AAA on high/very high settings on a laptop

It's probably gonna cost you a kidney or two

but why current AAA titles instead of normie games like minecraft,LoL,Rimworld(not that normie game), factorio, whatever

While at the same time you could be buying a desktop AND a laptop with decent remote control capabilities

AAA games are shit though

Speaking of the gaymen... how do you figure the built-in graphics on the new Ryzen CPUs will perform?
