Well anon, if I could do it over again, I would have gotten a XPS. However, I already have my MBP. I just want more than 8GB of RAM honestly.

I'm sorry it's not a quad core i7

Better than almost every other laptop screen $100 more expensive

eMMC, flash storage. Better than a 5400rpm HDD.

>probably shit keyboard/trackpad
It was decent enough when I tried it.

Honestly a decent laptop for portable multimedia and internet browsing.
>>
>>53305279
>I'm sorry it's not a quad core i7
it has a fucking Atom. That thing benchmarks worse than a five year old i5.
>Better than almost every other laptop screen $100 more expensive
still shit
>eMMC, flash storage. Better than a 5400rpm HDD.
good job ignoring the last word. 16GB is not enough for doing anything.
>It was decent enough when I tried it.
good on you

>Honestly a decent laptop for portable multimedia and internet browsing.
I seriously doubt multimedia and internet are even remotely enjoyable on that thing. My tablet has a slightly better processor and it's sluggish as fuck.

It's faster than a core 2 duo, which is fast enough for the average user. And it's quad core. Stop comparing it to desktop i5s.

>16GB
Wat?

>good on you
Do I get a cookie? :3

Which is?

it is not enough for the average users. I am not comparing it to a desktop i5.
>Wat?
are you incapable of reading? that thing comes with a 16GB-32GB eMMC.

no.

It is fast enough m8.

I'm using a atom d2500 as my side pc. If a 4 year old dual core atom can handle web browsing and 720p YouTube then why can't a more modern quad core atom?
>>
>>53306143
>>53306007

Also haven't seen a 16GB model here in aus.
>>
>>53306143
>why can't a more modern quad core atom?
because it's not running Linux.
>Also haven't seen a 16GB model here in aus.
congratulations, not seeing something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
>>
>>53306188
But it is significantly faster per core and has twice as many?

Also I'm not using flash memory, I'm using a hard drive.

are you actually fucking with me right now?
Linux uses quite a lot less resources than a full Windows 10 installation. Which is why it works. Install Windows 10 on your machine and see how well your videos work.
I'm not even gonna bother responding to the second part of your post.

Hey different guy here, I actually just bought a 100-15IBD tonight, its the standard with 8gb ram and 15 inch screen. I booted it, got to the Os installation for windows 10, then shut off, now I turn it on the screen won't turn on, just the power light comes on. Been searching for hours for solution.

Anyways, just was wondering if you'd heard about this and had any ideas before I exchange it later today.

>using a mouse on a laptop
wew that's a pleb, literally only reason to do so is gaming and you should play on a desktop anyway

In 2008 i suffered a traumatic brain injury. Causing massive brain damage. This has left me with below average intelligence. As a result. I have switched to apple products. Because they just work.
>>
>>53308101
Never heard about that, sounds like the mobo is fucked.

Plus the only ideapad I think is worth it is the budget 11.6 inch one.
>>
>>53302675
Macbooks are quality computers unlike other Chinese made craptops
>>
>>53308298

Whys that? Either way, I need the bigger screen for my purposes (reading online articles and papers for classes)

A Surface Pro 4 is much thinner and has more powerful specs (i7 with Iris Graphics) while the surface temperatures only measure 41ºC on Max load, compared to 57ºC on the XPS 13 and 47ºC on the MacBook Retina 13.

Source of XPS 13 being an overheating piece of shit.

OS X

I do use a mouse at my desk, but how does that help me when I leave my desk? It would be quite silly to buy a laptop and literally only use it at a desk with external peripherals.
