You don't own a real laptop.
You own nothing more than dedicated, overpriced facebook machine.

>Oh no! If my $500 laptop breaks I'll have to buy a new one(for $500)!
>Better buy a $5000 laptop so it has no chance of breaking!
These things are basically just for engineers right?
Why would you take this to an office job?
How's the battery life, commie? :^)
I'll bite.
>his laptop laptop isn't ruggedized
My job doesn't include getting shot at, my laptop doesn't have to be rugged.
>his laptop doesn't have a full body length hinge
It almost does, just some bits on both side.
>his laptop laptop trackpad doesn't have clickable buttons
99% of the time i use a wireless mouse, but a decent point.
>his laptop doesn't have a matte screen
Glossy IPS screen master race.
>his laptop doesn't have more than 4 USB ports
It has 4, name more than 4 thing that would reasonable to be connected at once.
>his laptop doesn't have a SDcard slot
It does.
>his laptop doesn't have a ExpressCard slot
Step into the fucking 21st century grandpa.
>his laptop doesn't have a SmartCard slot
!!
>his laptop doesn't have a Ethernet port
It does.
>his laptop doesn't have a VGA out port
The only thing that uses VGA these days are projectors. In that case just use a fucking adapter.
>his laptop doesn't have a DP port
It does.
>his laptop doesn't have a numpad
It does.
>his laptop doesn't have a optical drive
My computers haven't had a optical drive since 2010, and i have never felt the need for it.
>his laptop doesn't have a Firepro or Quadro
I'm not an video editor.
>his laptop doesn't have a Xeon or has less than 4 CPU threads.
It's a mobile i7 with 4 cores.
>his laptop doesn't have ECC
Decent point, but i personally don't need it.
>his laptop doesn't have a 3G/4G slot
>he doens't tether his phone to his laptop to access 4G
>his laptop doesn't have a IEEE 1394 port
What in the fuck would i need firewire for?
>his laptop isn't at least IP68 certified
Nope, fair point.

Yes it is, and you are just jelly

Also useless considering the tradeoff against battery life.

>>46870585
Much better when the battery alone weighs more than your ultrabook.
And there's more of those where that came from.
>>46870655
VGA is still useful. Not everything has an HDMI in.
>>46870759
Yeah, if you're buying a business laptop and you need it to work with shitty ten year old Dell projectors.
>>46869929
I wish I could buy a new ruggiedized laptop with a swivel display :(
>>46870655
>optical drive
>useless
Go back to facebook, kid
>>46870786
There's a reason for this: swivel displays are inherently not very rugged.
>>46870585
Stay jelly buttpirate.
>>46870585
Haha, this is just the type of retard that buys "ultra"-books. A huge ass battery gives you better battery life than a needlessly thin laptop with a low powered CPU.
>>46870867
Aint no one built their desktop with an optical drive for the past 3 years grandpa, get with the times.
>>46870887
Panasonic makes some awesome shit.
Including the best Plasma TVs, fuck LCDs
>>46870867
Go back to the fucking stone age, gramps.
>>46869929
I love it and all, it probably just costs a lot and doesn't have a modern processor.
>>46869929
All that and yet it has a nice, easily broken an shock-hating normal HDD.
Complete fucking waste of time and space when the first drop destroys it.
Call me when it has an XP941
>>46870867
>2015
>using physical media
>>46870941
I have 30 of these to pick from every day to use. mfw 17 of them are broken. The Getacs we have on the other hand all work. I use them instead.
>>46870994
Who says it wouldn't have an SSD? Even so, good thing an HDD cost <$100, compared to totaling the laptop or cracking the screen.

>>46871034
Their website, where they specifically states for the $3,700 asking price it comes with a fucking 500gb SATA2 5400rpm slugshit drive.
>Cracking the screen
A 1366x768 15" screen costs $60 to replace at most.
It's also a 3 minute job on well designed laptops.
>>46870994
Yeah, because it's awfully hard to put a SSD, or three, in these monsters.
I'm not in a battlefield/construction site. How would this benefit me?
>>46871065
Put whatever harddrive you want in it. You'll replace a screen but don't know how to install a harddrive?
>>46871065
Four grand for one device?
Why not just buy 4 Surfaces and switch to another when you have to warranty one out?
>>46870585
45 seconds
>>46871101
That's now how warranties work, m8.
>>46871077
>>46871100
>Ignoring the point
Who gives a shit what you CAN install, it comes with a hard drive and therefore any pretensions to ruggedness are completely bullshit. Single powerful magnet or a drop while it's at max read/write will wreck the entire $4k laptop.
>>46870998
>Implying that HDDs and SSDs are not physical media
>>46871134
The entire laptop? At most it'll take out the HDD, and there actually are vibration resistant mechancial drives anyway, but you should still get a SSD if you're dealing with important data.
>>46871134
Everyone gives a shit, because you CAN just install any SSD you want. Whats your point?
>>46871170
>ssd
>more reliable than hdd
nice meme
it saddens me to think that /g/ of all places would fall for the ssd shilling
>b-but my booth times!!!1
doesn't matter, you only boot once anyway
>>46871124
Why not?
Surface has 3 year fiz it no matter what warranty.
You have four laptops (now 3 since one broke) and you can just switch to another while you wait for Microsoft to fix your broken one and send it back.
>>46871147
>Implying they are.
I know I don't NEED one of these, but I sure as fuck WANT one of these.
So fucking cool.

>Implying you need a rugged laptop ever. Even military uses surface pro 3.
>>46871282
Define "military", because all "military" does these days is play 'find the shitskin' with UAVs while scratching their balls in their tents.
>>46871202
>hdd takes a massive impact
>fails because spinning disks
>ssd falls
>still works because flash based memory
it's not even about reliability in long term, which ssd still wins
it's about a blunt force impact, which the ssd takes better, no contest.
>>46871134
Well yeah, except that's all completely wrong.
>>46871239
lol, ok kid, ever try to use a warranty? I'll let you in a little tip everyone eventually learns. They rarely honor the warranty, and are almost always (95% of the time) able to find one even miniscule scratch, blemish, or dent that voids the warranty. You are guilty of accidental damage unless there is proof of a well known, widespread manufacturing defect.
Maybe the warranty gives you peace of mind, but lol if you think MS is going to honor it. Your can't compare some comsumerized garbage device's warranty to one of a professional rugged laptop designed to operate in high stress environments.

It fag here. I do warranties all the time. You are stupid and wrong.
>>46871322
Microsoft has replace my Surface twice so far.
I have never had any trouble warrantying shit out.
Are you one of those faggets who screams and yells at customer service until they hang up on you? Those are the only people who have trouble with warranties.
