Blame Apple, or everybody else for not being able to compete with them, so they have no need to lower their prices.

While a good desktop is essential, it's hard to beat the convenience of of a laptop. Useful for work, for school, for when you travel, for when lying in bed, etc.

How is the trackpad on Hackintosh? How does it handle 4K screen or did you get 1080p cancer?
I bought a t420 but it overheated and kept shutting off. I bought a t510 for dirt cheap and will use that.

Kind of overestimating the power of owning an Apple product there is seems. I do agree with everything else being shit though. Look into an Apple refurbished Macbook Pro. Don't have to worry about semen then and you get a good laptop for several hundred bucks less.

If you buy a GPU get a maxwell based Nvidia one so you can use pci compression. Anything newer won't support it and will be slower.

External GPU, a normal desktop gpu with an adapter for your laptop.
If you have a t420 get the expresscard adapter instead of the pci-e one, iirc the stock bios has a pci-e whitelist.

Damn, sounds pretty sweet. So no major issues? What about the battery life?
>>55593164
>Yosemite
>>55593398
Well, it's pretty much how Air is supposed to be now. Decent enough performance (or surprisingly good given that it's passive cooled), good battery life (7-8h), awesome screen (and speakers) and the weight is hard to notice. I do like the keyboard though, which is not for everyone.
No port is barely noticeable sans connecting a screen with it but given how I needed an adaptor for Air too, that's not a biggy either.

typo, i meant e4300*
Thinking of getting the 2015 13" rMBP. Is it a good idea? Or would I be better off waiting for the new one to come out? I'm worried it will be priced really high since the regular Macbook costs the same as the 2015 rMBP.
I'm thinking of buying into the Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition to support loonix.
Anyone have experience with this computer?
Let's note
>>55593850
It should arrive in autum, so I'd wait. If the price is too high for you then, at least 2015 rMBP will be cheaper, so it's a win-win.

>>55597558
When you buy a pile of garbage like that, bragging about it isn't the way to go.
>>55597973
If you knew anything about tech, maybe you wouldn't be on this board whining. Fix your issues you illiterate, and if you don't like Unix, why don't you just go back to Windows like a little retard?
But seriously, since you're so fucking incompetent, here's a tip. Take your MacBook's logicboard, put it in the oven and heat it, not too much so it burns and gets damaged, but just enough for the components to fall in their place properly again. That'll fix your GPU problem. I've often refurbished MacBooks and iMacs for dumbfuck normalfags, and usually I just buy a cheap as all fuck MacBook online that's broken, fix it up and then sell it for double the price.

Okay.
>>55599669
If I cared about your opinion, my life would be as miserable as yours, however, it's not. I choose a future. You've chosen to shitpost on 4chan for the rest of your life with no money.
>>55599682
Yeah because spending 1100 USD on a shitty computer isn't dumb. This Y700 cost me 1300 USD and it's vastly superior than any ThinkPad, in terms of specs, build-quality, and design.
So yeah. You're retarded, and you literally bought a shitty, expensive computer, just to get the ThinkPad(TM) brand. It's the same with MacBooks. Just stop.
>>55599710
But that's wrong, you fucking retard. Your shitty Y700 isn't vastly superior to any and all ThinkPads in even one of those three things.
>you literally bought a shitty, expensive computer, just to get the ThinkPad(TM) brand
No I didn't. But you sure are trying hard to justify your purchase. How are your flimsy ass hinge, badly printed keys that will wear off within a year, mediocre screen, and plastic body treating you ?
>>55599774
The Y700 doesn't have a plastic body
A quick Google search shows that it isn't exactly common to have problems with the hinge on this model, neither do I have problems with it
The buttons are exactly like those on my last ThinkPad, except less fragile and plasticky
And mediocre screen? It's a 1080p anti-glare.
So obviously you don't know anything about this computer, which is cute. Now, find me a ThinkPad with the same build quality (brushed aluminium and a matte finish, not plastic), oh wait, you can't, all ThinkPads are pieces of plastic shit.
Go beg your mum for more money so you can buy more plastic ThinkPads with mediocre specs at the same price that I got this Y700 for.
>>55599818
>all ThinkPads are pieces of plastic shit
Wrong. They either have a carbon body or a plastic shell covering a magnesium alloy body. This is by default a better build than brushed aluminum ever will be. ThinkPads aren't made to look flashy, they're made to last and are built to a higher specification as such. If you think a little bit of brushed aluminum equals "build quality," you're dead wrong. I'm sure you think macbooks have "great build quality" too while they suffer from internal failure all over the place.
1080p TN is mediocre.
The paint on your keys will wear off within a year if you actually use your computer.
The hinge is a wobbly piece of shit even compared to my 5 years old laptop.
If you did your own research, you'd know that ThinkPads can also by far outspec your Y700.

Not just getting an XPS masterrace instead of bickering who's shittop is better.
>>55599904
Yeah, but all the ThinkPads that outspec me are more expensive.
Also, "muh carbon", that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I have three ThinkPads that are all broken, most typically in the hinges, and whenever people bring their shitty ThinkPads in and I need to look at them, the casing is ALWAYS trashed and the hinges on ThinkPads are so fucking weak.
Don't even get me started on the fucking keyboards on them.
Also, wash your fucking fingers you disgusting piece of shit. I don't eat near my computer, nor do I touch it if I have too sweaty or oily fingers, I don't know what the fuck you're doing, but it's wrong.
And you keep on going about the hinge, but mine is absolutely perfect, and googling hinge problems only show problems with the Y50-70, so now you're just making shit up.
Seriously, fuck off with your fragile "geek" computers with specs that get outdated two months after release.
