Yeah, that's why I said a main desktop and a remote cheap laptop for additionnal stuff
^
used business laptops cost sub 1000 easily
Sure it might not be the greatest experience ever
But compared to a laptop that's gonna cost you more than twice that setup
Well...
I disagree on that point
But, in all fairness, people are willing to compromise in areas I'm unwilling to, and vice versa.
Thinkpad hrs
Business laptop with a discreet and pro GPU is gonna rip your ass IF you compare it fairly with a comparable desktop setup
Even used
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.
Meanwhile, mostly women are willing to forego the desktop entirely and rely on an overpriced fruit themed laptop. For convenience...?
laptops are built for mobility
quick check on local store ``Dell Precision 3510 i7-6820HQ 16GB 512SSD FirePro `` for 999
not for performance
rule of thumb
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+€
It got a Quadro M1000M
Try gayming on that
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
But why the fuck would you run games on the go
there is Zbook g2 with K2100 for 920
😂 👌
Okay, let's assume we're gonna go with your setup
K5130M
It's gonna be around the same performance as a GTX 580M
Yiiikes
@Droidbot I'd game on the go. Hook up a li'l gamepad and play some NES. 😉
Quadros are for werk because double precision, not gaymes
On desktop
x200 runs openttd and emulates fine
That's the raw power equivalenbt of a GT 1030

(I'm not even comparing technologies)
I actually tried running RimWorld on the laptop.
It ran.
And the fan was unhappy.
