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

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.

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

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

Huge.

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

unless we're talking 8k or higher

and getting an 8 core laptop is easy thanks to amd

unlike the 16 core laptops which are exceedingly limiting in options

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.

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

True enough.

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.

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

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

Then again, my P4 laptop is still kicking so idk

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.

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

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

How close is 3:2?

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.

Ah. I see.

What brand was it?

HP

Hmmm. Yeah their quality control is questionable.

At least of late anyways.

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

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

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.

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

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

My nearly 2 deacade old laptop does

Lol.

It was the last Compaq laptop

But that's pretty much the exception.

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

Panasonic Toughbooks offer a 4:3 option! hell yes

i upgrade to one of them when this one finnaly dies

I won't upgrade to anything unless it has an amd ryzen 4000 or above. Intel isn't that great on laptops anymore.

All my recent desktops I built have been AMD, and the desktops/laptops I've recommended for relatives have also been AMD. Just wish my laptop was AMD but it's a security centered Linux laptop (it's made by Purism) and they secured the microcode in the Intel chip years ago but Ryzen is still to new and they haven't been able to remove all the potential security problems in it yet.

My P4 is so old it lacks the modern stuff needed to be exploited by meltdown/spectre (the branch predictor)
