doesn't do shit for me.
/g/ should love this thing. It has great battery life, an amazing screen, an OK keyboard and touchpad, and has a fucking quad core i7 and a 970m in a "Razer" thin package.
The only problem I see with it is the Logo on the front, which can be easily covered up.
>>54356673
too bad /g/ has more memes than brains
>>54356673
My main concern would be how hot it gets.
I once had a "gaming" laptop which practically set things on fire, never again.
>>54356673
theirs tones of pcs like this, this just has a premium tag on it and is targeted at gamers.
Anyone that requires actual power will get a workstation laptop, the only people who this services is gamers, and 970m =/= 970
It literally makes no sense to make screen 16:9 on anything smaller than 14", and Macbooks and Surfaces are the only ones who are not following that stupid trend.
The worst offender has to be lenovo thinkpads - they make "business" laptops, but they cripple productivity with 16:9 screen and they are no good for entertainment because of shitty speakers and display panel quality.
>>54356417
What's even worse about Thinkpads are that their bezels look like they're made to accomodate 16:10 panels but they stick in 16:9 panels anyway because you tryhard "professionals" will buy anything we shit out!
>>54356417
>The worst offender has to be lenovo thinkpads - they make "business" laptops, but they cripple productivity with 16:9 screen
100% This.
I now have to lug around a fucking 14" behemoth (which is actually an even worse 15" behemoth, because the top and bottom bezels are sized as such that the whole lid is a 16:10 lid), in order to get the same screen space I had on my 12" 4:3 Ultraportable. And in order to keep that fucking giant portable, I had to get an ultrabook, which means decreased robustness, less ports, a worse keyboard and a much higher price.
Seriously, the current laptop landscape is not about finding the best one for your use case, its about finding the least shitty option.
Like choosing between dogshit and cattle shit to step into. I chose cattle, because it smells less bad and is a bit easier to clean of than dog shit, but there is not way around it, I am still going to have to step into shit.
>and they are no good for entertainment because of shitty speakers and display panel quality.
I do have to say, the X1 has some quite nice speakers for its size, but I would gladly go back to the shitty mono speaker on the X61, if I could get a proper screen in exchange for my second spekaer.

TPs have always had shitty displays, that's a thing about Lelnovo (and why I don't buy from them)
The main reason people buy TPs is that you can replace pretty much everything and do all the repairs on your own for pretty cheap so they can last way longer than an average notebook
I'd love a laptop with a 3:2 display though, shits all over 16:10
all this fucking 4X 8X HBM2 Superfast memory shit when actuality my fucking gta5 will be running only ~12fps better. WTF IS THIS SHIT NVIDIA? we seriously need a company to ONLY and only do GPUs for gamers, then those fucks will see who gets more sales. fuck.
also upcoming GTX1070 is still using GDDR5 - like wtf is this 2008 again?
>>54356366
You know that nvidia's entire revenue is based on a marketing scheme that has gotten gamers to think nvidia cards are faster due to paid techblogger shills, right?
I think we would all be surprised if nvidia even exists 2 years from now. Then again, with schmucks like you in the world maybe they'll still have a huge market share, who knows.
Fuck how fast it runs all i want is more vram on cards and more affordable ram.
8GB is NOT enough hopefully once it catches up to 16 32 64 etc on a single card
GDDR6 when?
4K RotTR is like 10gb+
How much did you spend on your PC build, /g/? Is this build any good?
You don't need such an expensive board for a locked CPU. Also get a 480+GB SSD and no HDD.
>>54356086
put there at least i5 6500 bruh
>>54356086
>stock cooler
get a non-stock cooler, they tend to be quieter. also, grab an SSD.

I'm surprised safari is only 5% seeing as how many people use it, shouldn't it be at the same rate as IE?
>>54355728
>many people use it
literally who, the people at your hipster start-up?
>>54355728
Apple only has ~10% of the market share. If every Mac user used Safari you'd see tops 10% but even half of those users have Chrome

What SSD should I get if all I care about is making my X200 boot fast?
Any

Literally any. Get the cheapest one you can find that has no "this failed it 2 months!" reviews.

Anything except Kingston V300.

How do I git gud with i3? Do you guys use layouts and stuff?
I tried it and liked it and don't remember any learning curve. And then I went back to XFCE because I like to resize terminal windows exactly by columns. You have dmenu installed?
>>54353980
Yeah, my problem is I just feel flustered with 10 workspaces spread over 2 monitors. I don't know if it would be better with XFCE.
The majority of my windows are browsers/terminals.
>>54354012
If you haven't already, learn to use tmux or screen. Makes things less clunky.
