>>54784155
buy a mac or buy a surface and a long rope
>>
>>54784204
convertibles might be a meme yes, but are you sure about the xps13? it has very good overall ratings
>>
>>54784219
this, ipad pro is easily substitute any laptop
>>
>>54784221
great idea, then I could use the rope to hold them both together and work on them simultaneously!
>>
>>54784155
VAIO Canvas Z

>>54784182

>>
>>54784240

>>
chromebook pixel, no questions asked
>>
>>54784266
>using a surface
for posting pepes?
>>
>>54784155
Dell XPS 15. I thought I'd want the Surface Book for the longest time, but then I realized I'd just be much better served with the XPS.
>>
>>54784155

Lenovo X200 or X220. Literally the last decent laptops ever made.
>>
>>54784287
I do like how the pixel looks!
but is the storage changeable? i have heard it has only a 64 gb flash?
This might not be a problem when you use chrome os but I intend to use elementary...
>>
>>54784155
thinkpad would do the job
>>
>>54784305
the look really ugly though!
>>
>>54784307
yeah, its only 64gb.

not a problem for me though because it wouldn't be my main computer. it's just a laptop. also, it has an SD slot for media storage. the 64gb would just be for crouton
>>
>>54784471
ok, an sd card could solve the problem actually :) thx

MemeBook X260.

mbp 13.3
>>
>>54784182
I was thinking of getting this but I heard the build quality is terrible and it has issues with the display driver crashing constantly.

Can anyone who owns one confirm or deny this?
>>
>>54784155

ASUS Chromebook Flip, especially with Android apps coming up
>>
>>54784155
Surface book or maybe a mbp.
>>
>>54784305
Of course! Always with obsolete hardware ;)
>>
>>54784155
Still the 13" rMBP that I own, honestly. Never been happier with a device, really.
>>
>>54784155
Panasonic Let's Note or VAIO Z. Made in Japan, baby.
>>
>>54784155
Dell XPS 13 is pretty good.

The keyboard is kinda mushy.

Also, if you are running Linux, you might need a distribution with at least kernel version 4.6 so the display doesn't flicker.

If you're that concious about it, just hit the gym and eat fewer calories.

What do you do with the laptop
>>
Just ordered a Dell xps 15 9550, 4k, i7, 16gb, 512gb. 1400 refurbished off eBay, thinking about replacing the ssd with the 512gb 950 pro but idk if I would notice a difference...
>>
>>54784155
I hated apple my entire life but I finally caved in and got a MBP last year. Honestly it's one of the best laptops I used in the last 5 years.

rmbp 15/256 desu pham

>>54791655
Unless you are doing hardcore video editing, you just wasted $100 on the difference between the i5 6300hq and i7 6700hq. The HT threads aren't used to a meaningful extent in anything else since 4 core/threads is enough already "so to speak". 1440p is already an overkill on 15.6 inches, 4k is just dumb. Especially since you are stuck with a 60hz screen anyway. Didn't know you could pay extra for a 4k screen intead of a 1080p on the 9550.

I mean generally speaking it is a great buy, but frivolous at the max extent if you really go for that new SSD.
