"PRACTICALLY THE SAME AS DESKTOP OMG" gpu

2016-06-08 18:27:17 UTC  

and we have this associate purchase plan

2016-06-08 18:27:21 UTC  

which it turns out isn't even close

2016-06-08 18:27:41 UTC  

or it gets hotter than the sun playing minesweeper

2016-06-08 18:27:45 UTC  

where you pay 10% of the laptop's cost outright and then they take the rest out of your paycheck over time

2016-06-08 18:28:05 UTC  

so i am stuck between a macbook and some dumb as shit gaymen laptop

2016-06-08 18:28:10 UTC  

and i pick the gaymen laptop

2016-06-08 18:28:26 UTC  

What price range?

2016-06-08 18:28:29 UTC  

and now im stuck with this really inconvenient garbage laptop that i never use

2016-06-08 18:28:38 UTC  

should have gone with the macbook tbh

2016-06-08 18:28:41 UTC  

ik

2016-06-08 18:28:45 UTC  

I use a Macbook Air tbh
got it cheap from my school. Besides the screen, it's pretty gud.

2016-06-08 18:28:46 UTC  

could resell it and get all your money back once you pay it off

2016-06-08 18:28:54 UTC  

that's literally what i am doing

2016-06-08 18:28:57 UTC  

Once you go far enough gaming laptops are really thick and not really useful as laptops anymore

2016-06-08 18:29:06 UTC  

yeah that's the problem

2016-06-08 18:29:12 UTC  

did you see that new watercooled laptop?

2016-06-08 18:29:15 UTC  

it's awesome when I can game with my friends at a desk

2016-06-08 18:29:29 UTC  

but like it's just a portable desktop and not a laptop

2016-06-08 18:29:35 UTC  

I paid like $1000 for mine and it's a laptop that can actually do things while still being portable

2016-06-08 18:29:43 UTC  

which one do you have?

2016-06-08 18:29:54 UTC  

Asus uh... n550?

2016-06-08 18:30:07 UTC  

i have the gl752

2016-06-08 18:30:15 UTC  

I just don't get how it's a portable desktop when you're so limited in expandability and options for upgrades

2016-06-08 18:30:15 UTC  

which is thiqq as fuck and useless

2016-06-08 18:30:24 UTC  

like yeah it computes

2016-06-08 18:30:29 UTC  

i meant based on form factor

2016-06-08 18:30:36 UTC  

like it's not a useable laptop

2016-06-08 18:30:52 UTC  

I kind of like the idea of a portable workstation

2016-06-08 18:30:59 UTC  

but they're always 17inch screens and heavy as fuck

2016-06-08 18:31:11 UTC  

so I stick to 12 inch-14inch screens if laptop

2016-06-08 18:31:19 UTC  

This thing is 15'

2016-06-08 18:31:22 UTC  

the 2012 mbp with the 650m is kinda close

2016-06-08 18:32:00 UTC  

Below 15'' is really pushing it if you want a 1080p display without scaling

2016-06-08 18:32:10 UTC  

the x220 is comfy

2016-06-08 18:32:15 UTC  

gf has one

2016-06-08 18:32:23 UTC  

I had a 13.3" XPS 13 with 1080p display

2016-06-08 18:32:24 UTC  

she's more /g/ than me, runs linux as main driver

2016-06-08 18:32:26 UTC  

shit was comfy, yo

2016-06-08 18:32:38 UTC  

i had a t410 and it was just unbearably slow in windows

2016-06-08 18:32:40 UTC  

I miss the screen on my XPS 13.
