In that case, yeah, using a high end laptop is gonna be acceptable *but* usually those are expensive as fuck

2019-05-28 14:02:46 UTC  

also as hobbyist your desktop would be at home not at that random rented carage/hall where you need it

2019-05-28 14:02:57 UTC  

Yes. Unreasonably expensive as far as I'm concerned.

2019-05-28 14:03:12 UTC  

Yeah, that's why I said a main desktop and a remote cheap laptop for additionnal stuff

2019-05-28 14:03:15 UTC

2019-05-28 14:03:16 UTC  

used business laptops cost sub 1000 easily

2019-05-28 14:03:22 UTC  

Sure it might not be the greatest experience ever

2019-05-28 14:03:31 UTC  

But compared to a laptop that's gonna cost you more than twice that setup

2019-05-28 14:03:32 UTC  

Well...

2019-05-28 14:03:45 UTC  

I disagree on that point

2019-05-28 14:03:55 UTC  

But, in all fairness, people are willing to compromise in areas I'm unwilling to, and vice versa.

2019-05-28 14:03:57 UTC  

Thinkpad hrs

2019-05-28 14:04:06 UTC  

Business laptop with a discreet and pro GPU is gonna rip your ass IF you compare it fairly with a comparable desktop setup

2019-05-28 14:04:12 UTC  

Even used

2019-05-28 14:04:36 UTC  

I'm entirely willing to compromise and use a relatively old laptop for mobility purposes, and have a lovely ol' desktop doing all the heavy lifting when needed.

2019-05-28 14:05:07 UTC  

Meanwhile, mostly women are willing to forego the desktop entirely and rely on an overpriced fruit themed laptop. For convenience...?

2019-05-28 14:05:37 UTC  

laptops are built for mobility

2019-05-28 14:05:40 UTC  

quick check on local store ``Dell Precision 3510 i7-6820HQ 16GB 512SSD FirePro `` for 999

2019-05-28 14:05:41 UTC  

not for performance

2019-05-28 14:05:45 UTC  

rule of thumb

2019-05-28 14:05:47 UTC  

Look, right now I got a P50, let's not compare the full retail price that nobody would be willing to pay, but it's still gonna be around 1k+€

2019-05-28 14:06:06 UTC  

It got a Quadro M1000M

2019-05-28 14:06:12 UTC  

Try gayming on that

2019-05-28 14:06:16 UTC  

given said firepro is ``` W5130M 2GB ```
but still way more beefy

2019-05-28 14:06:21 UTC  

my little Dell Latitude runs whatever I want it to on the go and it looks pretty but I wouldn't run Solidworks or gaymes

2019-05-28 14:06:42 UTC  

But why the fuck would you run games on the go

2019-05-28 14:06:44 UTC  

there is Zbook g2 with K2100 for 920

2019-05-28 14:06:45 UTC  

😂 👌

2019-05-28 14:06:53 UTC  

Okay, let's assume we're gonna go with your setup

2019-05-28 14:06:55 UTC  

K5130M

2019-05-28 14:07:08 UTC  

It's gonna be around the same performance as a GTX 580M

2019-05-28 14:07:43 UTC  

Yiiikes

2019-05-28 14:07:59 UTC  

@Droidbot I'd game on the go. Hook up a li'l gamepad and play some NES. 😉

2019-05-28 14:08:01 UTC  

Quadros are for werk because double precision, not gaymes

2019-05-28 14:08:15 UTC  

@kontroll Hell yeah brother.

2019-05-28 14:08:24 UTC  

On desktop

2019-05-28 14:08:26 UTC  

x200 runs openttd and emulates fine

2019-05-28 14:08:32 UTC  

That's the raw power equivalenbt of a GT 1030
