but pretty hard to find outside of laptops

2021-01-02 21:20:10 UTC  

Cool, still probably a fairly niche market for that.

2021-01-02 21:20:20 UTC  

I was thinking like the 5950x from amd. Lol. Just throttle it down and limit its power draw.

2021-01-02 21:20:30 UTC  

its more for businesses that need good cpu but dont care about the gpu

2021-01-02 21:20:53 UTC  

Well if there are 3950x in laptop im sure a 5950x wouldnt be a problem, just gotta wait for some oem to do it

2021-01-02 21:21:01 UTC  

You're going to need to throttle it a lot if you want to stick that in a laptop with any kind of battery life. That thing draws twice as much power as most laptop processors use.

2021-01-02 21:21:38 UTC  

I mean like an hp envy where you can essentially turn it into a huge powerful tablet.

2021-01-02 21:22:15 UTC  

i use my P4 laptop for basic SD editing, how much harder is 4k+ to edit??

2021-01-02 21:22:27 UTC  

Huge.

2021-01-02 21:22:33 UTC  

just an 8 core with 32gb plus should do the trick

2021-01-02 21:22:40 UTC  

unless we're talking 8k or higher

2021-01-02 21:23:00 UTC  

and getting an 8 core laptop is easy thanks to amd

2021-01-02 21:23:17 UTC  

unlike the 16 core laptops which are exceedingly limiting in options

2021-01-02 21:23:23 UTC  

For video editing, wouldn't going for a more powerful GPU and a eight-core processor with maybe 32 gigs of RAM not be enough. My understanding is most video editing can take advantage of the GPU acceleration.

2021-01-02 21:23:23 UTC  

I mean you're talking about files that are in the gigabytes for a short run.

2021-01-02 21:23:58 UTC  

True enough.

2021-01-02 21:26:14 UTC  

I'm just greedy. Lol. I want a laptop that can do it all and not need to be upgraded or fiddled with for years to come. Its the reason why I've been holding off on buying one. Because I'll find one that has some of the specs I want but then doesn't have a touch screen or is smaller than what I want. Lol.

2021-01-02 21:26:52 UTC  

anything packing that much hardware in a laptop form factor likely will cook itself long before it become obsolete, heat management is a massive issue with these

2021-01-02 21:27:02 UTC  

Idk about you all but I wish you could custom build a laptop like a desktop. But unfortunately that's just not possible.

2021-01-02 21:27:09 UTC  

Then again, my P4 laptop is still kicking so idk

2021-01-02 21:29:10 UTC  

I specifically got my current laptop without a touchscreen after my last laptop. My last one had the touch screen part start dying where it would randomly click making the laptop basically useless. I ended up having to pay $550 to have the screen replaced. Granted, I did have to pay a shop to do it because at the time I wasn't comfortable disassembling a laptop to that point even though I built desktops for years. Even without the labor, the screen was quoted as $300.

2021-01-02 21:30:21 UTC  

Ouch!! That's a lot of money. I think for that price I'd have gotten a PC monitor and converted it a desktop.

2021-01-02 21:30:29 UTC  

I just wish they still made 4:3 laptops, that form factor gives a lot more vertical space for typing up documents and such

2021-01-02 21:30:36 UTC  

How close is 3:2?

2021-01-02 21:30:56 UTC  

Problem was, this was my laptop I had to use for classes. I have a desktop that I've built, but that doesn't do me much good when walking around campus.

2021-01-02 21:31:14 UTC  

Ah. I see.

2021-01-02 21:31:25 UTC  

What brand was it?

2021-01-02 21:31:36 UTC  

HP

2021-01-02 21:32:07 UTC  

Hmmm. Yeah their quality control is questionable.

2021-01-02 21:32:24 UTC  

At least of late anyways.

2021-01-02 21:32:48 UTC  

I heard the qaulity of Compaq laptops went down a lot when HP aquired them

2021-01-02 21:33:14 UTC  

I wish toshiba was still making laptops. They were damn near indestructible.

2021-01-02 21:33:57 UTC  

I've read the same things, it's the reason I don't recommend people buy HP laptops. There AMD desktops thou are surprisingly good deals.

2021-01-02 21:34:13 UTC  

Compaq doesn't exist anymore. Hp killed off the name and brand. Nothing has a Compaq name or label.

2021-01-02 21:35:04 UTC  

Amd has really been trying hard to get PC makers to build more units with their chips.

2021-01-02 21:35:11 UTC  

My nearly 2 deacade old laptop does

2021-01-02 21:35:21 UTC  

Lol.

2021-01-02 21:35:22 UTC  

It was the last Compaq laptop

2021-01-02 21:35:45 UTC  

But that's pretty much the exception.

2021-01-02 21:36:06 UTC  

Yes, unless you wont even older (Compaq Portable :D)

2021-01-02 21:36:29 UTC  

Panasonic Toughbooks offer a 4:3 option! hell yes
