Gaymen laptops don't feature Xeons, ECC RAM, Quadro graphics cards and 10-bit displays. It may end up running a bit slower than a similarly spec'ed gaming variant, but will be solid as a tank, with enough cooling to keep it running stable for days. But of course you're free to use a gaming rig with a 980 in it and burn your nuts off.

Normal people at some point will want (or need) to connect an external disk, smartphone, or larger display to their laptop.
>>53885919
Well, let's see.
HDMI / display port / w/e for connection to a larger display if need be.
USB : Connection for whatever the fuck you want. Not everyone stores all their shit online.
SD-card reader, storage/moving files.
Also, almost every WORK laptop have ports, ability to dock it and get more ports.
Ports are for usability, but hey, you probably want the new MacBook so you don't know what that means anyways.

>>53886079

Are people really this fucking dumb?
>>53886092
Why would I need to carry my dock? I leave it at my desk connected to all the other shit. I don't take a fucking external monitor with me when I travel with my laptop.

So who exactly is the target for this device?
Shitty resolution + Wangblows + shitty trackpad, makes it inferior to the Macbook.

>>53886302

Core M is the perfectly sensible option given the devices size and tasks. If HP weren't idiots, they would opt for it too and have more room for a longer lasting battery. At least then they could go for something beyond 10h in real use with that screen and offer a shitty trackpad alternative to Air.

I use a macbook pro at work and I've messed around with a macbook air. I like the build quality of both. But the pro is thicker than the air, and the build quality is the same.
Why are expensive laptops apparently trying to optimize for people who want to carry them around in an envelope? You're going to buy a 4 inch thick armored case for the thing if you're planning to move around with it a lot, why would you care how thin it is?

You're losing a lot desktop estate because of 16:9 cancer already, higher resolution is a good way to somehow balance it out.
Besides, if you work a lot with text, as you're bond to with these weak ass ultraportables, the sharper the better. 1080p screen is okay on a $500 device but putting it in something that costs over $1000 is a fucking joke.

>>53886677
>A college student would be better off with a more powerful laptop in the first place though.
Why? I'm a college student. I have a powerful desktop for heavy lifting, and a laptop that can do everything short of heavy photo/video editing and gaming. Between the two I've spent $1200 compared to spending a minimum $1400 on a laptop with performance even comparable to my desktop. And then I can't even upgrade it, so I have to replace it every 3-4 years, instead of changing one or two parts in my desktop while keeping my laptop until it physically breaks because it won't suddenly lose it's ability to type text and play 1080p video. In the long run, this saves me a fair chunk of change.
Please explain to me how I'd be better off with a 10 pound gaming laptop or portable workstation as compared to a powerful desktop at home and a lightweight laptop for workloads like papers and presentations where I don't need heavy hardware that guzzles battery like whores guzzle cock.
Not to mention you're not saying anything to justify having next to no ports on an ultraportable, when so many ultraportables exist with a slew of available ports to use while being barely any bigger or heavier than the Macbook, if not smaller.

You want to kill the MacBook, you have to replace all of its parts. And that means having a similar or better trackpad as well.
>>53886806
Core M offers you a better mobility since it doesn't need as much power and you can use smaller battery to get a respectable battery life.
Core M performance on the tasks you're going to do on an ultrabook is pretty close to i5, specially the 15W i5 most laptops use. You need to run very tasking software for a while to notice the difference between core M and i5.
>>53886822
Why are you switching to extremes like Alienware gaymer trash. Retina Macbook offers a much better performance/weight balance than any ultraportable because of the 28W SoC, and has all muh ports.
Macbook compromises the ports and performance for the optimal mobility, so rather aimed at frequent travelers or people who can work around no ports.
>when so many ultraportables exist with a slew of available ports to use while being barely any bigger or heavier than the Macbook, if not smaller.
Size wise, yeah but I don't recall any laptop with similar specs/battery life/screen that is close at weight. Pretty sure the lightest are about 300gram more, which is the weight of two fat smartphones. Besides, no ports seems like a deliberate decision by Apple to push for a wireless future. Something some users will be happy about ... and for others there is rMBP.
>>53886877
Wouldn't say CPU power is that irrelevant and the Broadwell Core M in it seems close to optimal but still not there, guess Skylake is. They were just too limited by the TDP to crack up the GPU power. It's impressive enough that they managed to put a perfectly functional, passively cooled x86 CPU in it.
>>53887049
>Windows matching Apple trackpads
Let's not go crazy. The best they could've done is a 16:10 screen.
>>53884177
Looks are ultimatively a matter of taste.
Besides, I NEVER had any issues with HP laptops (got a few elitebooks and some old brick from the time when XP was the new shit) and even that cheap as fuck, at least ten years old printer works fine.
Don't blame the company if you handle your devices poorly or choose them poorly in the first place.

That may have been too strong a word, but you seem to know what I mean.
Personally I think they're approaching passive cooling the wrong way.
It can be done, but they need to realize that they're gonna need much more copper than normal to really suck that heat away from the chipset as fast as possible.

I just tried the trackpad for 5 fucking minutes and honestly I'm really fucking tempted to buy a magic trackpad. But those things ain't cheap. I see a lot of people saying that it doesn't replace the mouse for graphic design, though it's not like I don't have a mouse already.
>>53887143
>graphic design
nothing replaces a good mouse+digitizing tablet for art stuff,
but Apple's trackpad is a damn good compromise.
>>53887169
Yeah I know.
I'm just wondering where to put the mouse while using that thing. I suspect after getting used to it I'll only actually use the mouse for a few games and illustrator. Poor mouse. Spent 60 bucks on this thing.
>>53883841
HP thinks executives are demanding Macbooks because they're thin.
* Tacky gold. Jesus Christ, only the Chinese will buy that.
* Ugly brown with gold. Yuck.
* Bizarre logo.
* No information on actual feel of keyboard, trackpad, screen quality, and heat management details.
I had a GF who bought an HP laptop. It was bulky, but fine, until you did ANYTHING. Then SHOOOOOOOOOO the fans would jump straight to 150%. Then the fans would go to (seemingly) 0%. Ten seconds later 150%. Ten more seconds 0%.
I have yet to see a PC laptop that actually gets it right. They always have some combination of:
* Awful weighting thanks to poor engineering (e.g. unused space, clumsily uneven weighting)
* Horrible hinges that flex and creak. And usually don't open up much.
* Horrible screens that are 6-bit 1366x768 on a 15", or similar (don't forget: Apple is the ONLY laptop manufacturer using 16:10 screens!)
* Awful power supplies that fling your laptop to the floor when your idiot coworker trips on the hideous power brick.
* Idiotic indicator lights for things like on-battery, WiFi on/off, sleep mode, power on, hard drive active. What the fuck? Nobody cares about all this. Give me ONE LED that indicates charging/charged and sleep mode. Just like Apple.
When their sales suck, they start adding gimmicks in a desperate bid to win a market they don't understand. Different keyboard styles ("let's try slick, black painted keys! Kids and execs love fingerprints!"), touchscreens ("kids and execs love smeared screens!"), etc.

>>53887079
>Why are you switching to extremes like Alienware gaymer trash. Retina Macbook offers a much better performance/weight balance than any ultraportable because of the 28W SoC, and has all muh ports.
Because a Retina Macbook costs even more than your run-of-the-mill gaymin trash laptops. So now the price disparity is even worse, and it's still a waste of money compared to my desktop and laptop.
>Size wise, yeah but I don't recall any laptop with similar specs/battery life/screen that is close at weight.

Either way, I'll stick with my current set up. It's cheaper, far more effective for anybody who doesn't live in a dorm or work for the US Military, and overall a better experience.
>>53887143
I doubt the difference is that big compared to a decent mouse and would be personally too jewish to spend 60 bucks on it. (or even a mouse)
It's a bigger deal on a laptop because it really replaces a mouse + gestures, while other laptop trackpads make me miss the mouse.

Well, if money is such a big factor, there are indeed even better alternatives. Although I'd say the price for base Retina Macbook, that works as a decent desktop replacement is pretty solid.
>How about the one that this fucking thread is about in the first place?
It weights noticeably more and we have yet to confirm their battery life, besides they gain it by cheaping out on the screen. The Asus with Core M seems like a better alternative if you can live with the shitty trackpad.

I'm sorry, but once the weight drops under 3 or 4 pounds, I stop trying to convince myself that weight matters.
There's certainly a place for desktop replacements, but barring those use cases in which the user needs a lot of computing power but lacks space to keep it. Outside of that, I'd still rather have the more powerful desktop and complimentary laptop.
I'm sure you can argue for how solid the Macbook Pro is on performance for days. But in the end, it's still like a child compared to a desktop i5 and GTX 960.

>>53887453
Well, what do you define as matters? If you really want to, you can easy carry around 4 pound bricks around. 3 pound bricks are nicer and 2 pound bricks are even better. The difference is always easy to notice, whether it's worth, depends on the user of course.
>>53887503
Just go for it then. Being tempted to buy something for a long time is annoying as fuck and while it's expensive it's not THAT expensive either. Besides, it might turn out even better than you expected.

>>53883841

>>53887598
What do I define as "matters"? As the point where I stop feeling a largely noticeable difference. I can feel the difference between my old 15.6" 5.5 pound laptop and my current ~3 pound laptop. I can't really feel much difference between a 13.3" Macbook (Pro or Air) and this laptop.
>>53887677
The difference between 13.3 Air and Pro seems noticeable enough for me, as is the one between Air and Macbook. Not as much as when you carry it around in a backpack but simply when putting it on the table/bed. It's minimal obviously but given the rest of the specs and my intended use, minimal weight is the better deal for me and simply feels better while ports or better performance of Pro are pretty irrelevant.
Different user cases and all that.
>>53887794
The difference between the 13.3" Air and Pro is noticeable. The laptop I have is somewhere between the two, at such a point that the Macbook Pro isn't that much heavier that I notice, and the Air isn't so light that I think "Wow this is heavy by comparison."
I'm personally using a Dell Chromebook 13, because it's basically a Macbook Pro for half the price.

you do know that the 2880x1800 resolution on macbooks is just 1440x900 but shinier, right? you get sub 1080p desktop real estate
>>53887920
kill yourself. at the current point in battery technology the benefits of using a 1080p panel over a 4k one are immense. on a laptop the extra screen space real estate cant even be put to use so it has to be scaled down to 1080p anyways. seriously, anything higher than 1080p is an absolute waste and has diminishing returns
>muh retina
its literally a meme. I have a 500+ PPI phone, 300 PPI ereader, 320 PPI Tablet, and a 1080p 14" laptop

Thats what fucks me up about it though, when people buy crapple products thinking theyre dressing themselves up as rich folk.
8 years ago you could get all the apple products and a second hand Porsche on hire purchase and pretend you had money but once people hear "lol you must be poor" leave your mouth they see right through it.
The worst thing about these dumb motherfucking macfags is that they think everybody else is as fucking stupid as they are and will immediately buy into their ruse.
>>53883841
I hate Apple but I don't trust HP products.
>>53886115
literally the point of an external disk is its portability you retard.
>>53883881
I actually prefer this. When you're using a laptop and need multiple plugs, it's not a hassle to plus a few things in the back first.
This laptop is still shit, and let me explain why. The trackpad is absolute utter garbage. I had the opportunity to test this about 6 weeks ago when they were doing consumer testing. The keyboard feels great, but the trackpad was sticky and jittery. If you wanted to move the cursor up, you had to use the side of your thumb. if you used your index finger and did a 'push' motion, your finger would bounce around a bunch. Also, if you tried to click downward the mouse would move before the click was completed. So each time I tried to SINGLE CLICK a folder on the desktop, I'd end up dragging the folder rather than selecting it. Overall, the laptop itself was fine, but the trackpad is complete and utter garbage.
Now, I can't say that without the caveat that it was the only thing I could find wrong with the machine. The keyboard really does feel great (at least on the version we were using, and considering it was 6 weeks ago, I'm doubting they changed any hardware), probably better than any keyboard on a modern laptop. We used it in Windows 10 and it was snappy/responsive. We weren't allowed to download anything, but they had random games and common programs. I don't know the exact number, but I had greater than 30 tabs open in Chrome and didn't have any speed issues. It warmed up, but it didn't get as hot as a macbook. It's also dead silent. I mean *dead* silent.
Anyway, I started by talking about the ports on the back and ended up going into rant. Basically, the ports on the back really aren't an issue.

Alright lads, I have roughly $1500 moosebucks to spend on a laptop that I can use for class. This laptop looks fine enough but im not too sure.
The only things I need it to do are;
>Video playback
>Somewhat capable at Photoshop
(Its not a mandatory requirement but its something I like to do on the side for some extra money. I have it on my workstation at home but I would like to do some light project on the go if possible)

I have 2160x1440 now in my current laptop, but I'd manage well with 1080p. Not lower though.
In fact I'm just selling my 2160x1440 screened one and switching to 1080p laptop.
>>53903020
what do you need in a laptop? portability? straight up power?
spend $1200 in a micro itx machine with an r9 nano in it and spend the rest on a thinkpad x220 with an IPS display
>>53903422
Right now im using a Surface RT 2 for class and it does none of what I've listed well.
Seamless web-browsing
Stutter-less video playback (YouTube, Netflix, Twitch)
and some games every here and then.
I friend of mine has a XPS 13 and it seems to do the trick but I want to know if theres something better out there for the price. I can live without doing photoshop when I out but even making small tweaks to things makes my day a little easier
>>53903556
>surface RT
jesus christ dude. No wonder you're in hell
seriously, a thinkpad x220 will do what you need fine. and a desktop will fucking blow your mind. Since you have the desire to do graphcally heavy tasks, even a little, i seriously recommend a desktop and lighter portable machine. hold on while I do a pc partpicker list
>>53903613
I already stated that I have a desktop
>>53903020
>I have it on my workstation at home
but yeah, I'll check out this x220
>>53903651
oh shit, my bad then
I wouldn't recommend that for light gaming/photoshop on the go. Do you actually want to play it on battery life? or just portably? the best laptop you can get for that would be the XPS 15 with a gtx 960m for $1500
>>53903693
Well I'd only use it for about 6 or 7 hours a day at the most. Gaming for may 30 minutes of that time so battery doesn't seem like too big of a deal. I can always bring the charger with me if it runs out
A 960m seems like overkill but now I have a rough idea of what type of laptop im looking for. Thanks for helping
Man hipsters will me on this like stink on shit.
>>53903787
Asus Zenpad 13 has a 950m for only a $1000

Can't compare using your monitor with lower settings to native 1080p cancer, anon.
>>53904360
literally anything higher than 1080p on a laptop is worse. In fact 1080p is the best resolution for every screen size 15" or less unless the device is a phone/ereader/tablet and held directly to the face in which case PPI of 300-500 is necessary for perfect quality
