What is /g/'s take on Dell Latitudes (old bulky ones of course, not the later-gen "muh minimalism" ones)?
I'm thinking of trading in my bulky desktop replacement HP laptop for one seeing as chinkpads have been "gentrified" by neckbearded collectorfags now.
If not, then what some other business-type laptops that are also good but not too jacked up in price?
bump
No really, anyone use these? I wanna know if they're worth it because /g/ wiki doesn't have enough good info on them.
And can I still find reasonably priced chinkpads?
>>54548802
latitude line sort of sucks, especially considering you can get old precision line for pretty cheap, and there are quite a few resellers of older precision so they'll also be more likely to work.
Also look into thinkpads.
>>54550131
>Also look into thinkpads.
I just did, but I keep hearing about prices getting jacked up because of "muh collector's item". By the time I save up, I still won't be able to afford one.
Though I haven't heard about the Precision line. I'll look into that.

I'm not defending applel, but come on Anon. You'll have to do better than that.

Easy for common usage
Convenient for developers

all OS'es are basically equal for 80% of what people do. I find my workflow is better in OS X so I use it on when I'm not at my desk.
Just wondering..what kind of gates does this qualification in cs open ?

Share your shameful secrets.
I replaced my NH-D14 with pic related. Fans are loud as fuck when CPU is under 50% load or higher, and temperatures are only negligibly better.
>>54548597
>using the stock fans
>not replacing them with Noctuas or similar god tier fans
fampai, you only have yourself to blame. Noctuas are 10dBa quieter and have identical performance to the stock corsair fans.
>>54548659
>noctua
Fuck, man. Why can't they make black fans? Literally everything else about them is perfect.
>>54548659
>buy leaky unreliable piece of shit to replace nice Noctua
>not even any better but very loud
>have to buy Noctua fans again anyway to make it quiet, but never as quiet as my old noctua heatsink, since it didn't have a pump.
Once again we prove why AIO water cooling is cancer.
I'm looking for a laptop for my aunt for up to 500€. Should be mostly able to run HD vids on a solid screen. Non shitty graphics card would also be a plus.
If you can't direct me towards a good laptop - could ya atleast post some companies to avoid?

Has anyone made the switch from an ultrawide monitor to a 144hz monitor? Am I going to regret it?
>>54548200
I've got a 144hz 16:9 (2560x1440) monitor.
I've never tried an ultrawide but if you're interested in gaming, which I assume you are since 144hz, you'll probably end up preferring the higher refresh rates (even on desktop use) and better compatibility.
Many games don't natively support 21:9, or their support is poor as fuck. So you'll have a mainstream ratio and less issue with that.
Do you really utilise the ultrawide factor of it a lot?
>>54548390
I'd love to have some use for it but I have two other monitors and a TV connected to my PC, and even with my 34" ultrawide I prefer to just watch movies from my bed on the big screen. It's great that 21:9 movies fill the entire screen on the ultrawide but other than that I think UW is just a big meme
60hz is eye rape once you move to 144hz, just a warning.
Opinions on Logitech G930 headset?
>Gaymen headset
No. Buy some nice sennheisers and a desk mic.
>>54547934
this, that dongle is compatible with 3.5mmjack, it turn some shitty or good sennheiser into 7.1 channel(logitech software need to be installed first)
>>54547915
never headset,even stoopid youtubers know it
Will the PC market still be viable in 4 years?
>>54547658
Yes. It could morph into a gaming machine.
>>54547658
>what is literally any specialist market
do you think businesses are just going to switch to ipads with keyboards in place of a desktop computer
>>54548397
Already happening in the most progressive and highest tier cities like San Francisco, Portland for example. These are the model cities of the future.
New to this shit so bare with me...
What is a good drone/camera setup so I can make vids of shit while I travel Europe?
Possibly willing to spend $1000 but $500 sounds a lot better.
Being able to live feed it to a v/r headset would be even more dope.
>>54547464
If you don't know anything about quadcopters, you'll be more likely to crash it within 5 minutes and throw it in the garbage than making videos with it.
How much time do you plan on training?
>>54547716
I'm looking for an auto following drone but can't seem to find one that avoids trees and obstacles which is dissapointing
>>54547799
DJI Phantom 4 does that
>>54547716
why? a quad with self-leveling, gps and altitude lock can be flown by a six year old.
it flies where you point it, no skill involved

Polaris is just a rebrand. AMD has nothing to answer Pascal. It's over AMD is finished.

Pick one.
>>54547223
this. the news is literally nothing, AMD still has the chance to push nvidia out of the market.
this is talking about mobile gpus
I'm writing a paper on Internet anonymity/anonymization. Can you recommend me some reading?

I went to pc world today and tried out Windows 10 on a store computer. Apart from the UI being ugly and presumably designed for Americans with fat fingers, I noticed no real difference between 10 and 7. Certainly nothing to make upgrading worthwhile. Is Windows 10 basically just snake oil?
Virtual desktops
Sticky corners for multimon
Improved window snapping
Per monitor taskbar
Improved Win+Tab view
Built-in ISO mounting
Built-in print to PDF
Improved command prompt
Uninstall from Start menu
There's other improvements for normies like more accessible file search query construction (using the ribbon), action center for all your Facebook and Twitter notifications, and of course UWP apps (much loathed by /g/, but a great platform for its target audience).
And then there are some more technical features where YMMV like UEFI...

If Linux is so slow, why is it used?
It costs time instead of money, which people generally don't find valuable until they're running out.
.7z doesn't preserve owner/group info, so it's not really suitable for nix archiving anyways.

How is it free if it requires non-free javascript to log in?
Can I sue them?
But that javascript is free
maybe youve confused the meaning of the word free with something else?
>>54545607
>freetard doesn't understand free as in free beer
>>54545755
>>54545628
If it's not obfuscated, it's free as in freefom JS.
