Hell a lot of modern low power motherboards have dehumidifier functions where they'll power on to produce just enough heat to stay dry in humid conditions.

2017-01-12 15:35:06 UTC  

I've only seen it on sub 25w platforms, though.

2017-01-12 15:35:44 UTC  

so like

2017-01-12 15:35:59 UTC  

there's some asus predator laptop at ces that costs a cool $9000

2017-01-12 15:36:24 UTC  

Isn't that the one with the dual gpus and mechanical keyboard? Or is that the acer?

2017-01-12 15:36:29 UTC  

yeah

2017-01-12 15:36:37 UTC  

i think it has dual 1080s

2017-01-12 15:36:55 UTC  

a 21:9 aspect ratio 1080p screen

2017-01-12 15:36:56 UTC  

That was hideous as fuck

2017-01-12 15:37:03 UTC  

cherry mx brown switches keyboard

2017-01-12 15:37:17 UTC  

Razer presented that surround 4k laptop, hah.

2017-01-12 15:37:22 UTC  

would sell it immediately if I got one for free

2017-01-12 15:37:28 UTC  

yeah

2017-01-12 15:37:40 UTC  

honestly, i think gaming laptops are a meme

2017-01-12 15:38:04 UTC  

just thinking about spending 9k on a laptop then having half your games not work properly with sli hurts a bit

2017-01-12 15:38:09 UTC  

yeah

2017-01-12 15:38:10 UTC  

They are if all the components are bga and integrated.

2017-01-12 15:38:10 UTC  

They are

2017-01-12 15:38:12 UTC  

Shit battery

2017-01-12 15:38:16 UTC  

Fat as fuck

2017-01-12 15:38:22 UTC  

Looks autistic

2017-01-12 15:38:32 UTC  

lol

2017-01-12 15:38:33 UTC  

a lot of the laptops at ces are around the $1500 mark and have either geforce gtx 1050s or 60s

2017-01-12 15:38:47 UTC  

You likely won't see a gamer laptop with expandability. That's left to the business and workstation class stuff.

2017-01-12 15:39:09 UTC  

idk why they put so much time into it

2017-01-12 15:39:13 UTC  

that asus predator laptop has support for 4 ssds

2017-01-12 15:39:24 UTC  

which is... good, i guess

2017-01-12 15:39:45 UTC  

Because people buy them. That laptops functionality and design was crowd sources.

2017-01-12 15:39:59 UTC  

yeah i guess lol

2017-01-12 15:40:05 UTC  

lots of dumb consumers out there

2017-01-12 15:40:09 UTC  

Basically, they just asked people what they wanted in a balls out gaming laptop, and that monstrosity was born.

2017-01-12 15:40:10 UTC  

trying to play skyrim on the bus or wat

2017-01-12 15:40:54 UTC  

but like

2017-01-12 15:40:57 UTC  

Skyrim will run flawlessly on a 5 year old gpu. Unless you're talking heavily modded Skyrim, or the shitty remake.

2017-01-12 15:41:20 UTC  

the gaming laptop market is arguably kind of small

2017-01-12 15:41:21 UTC  

eh whatever games like why are you trying to play this when youre out and about

2017-01-12 15:41:27 UTC  

bethesda games hardly care about gpu tbh

2017-01-12 15:41:28 UTC  

I know my 7950 clocked at 1050mhz broke the game because I didn't lock the framerate at 60fps.

2017-01-12 15:41:33 UTC  

i can play skyrim on my old 2core duo

2017-01-12 15:41:45 UTC  

i've got an amd radeon r7 250

2017-01-12 15:41:53 UTC  

don't know if that can handle skyrim
