Not him, but I honestly can't stand sitting in the same place to use my computer every day. I'd rather buy nice laptops, and the external GPU is perfect for that.
>>53512108
>Laptops are for portability.
I disagree. Mine is just for use in my bed. There's no better solution. I don't need a computer when I'm away from home because the only computer I need is supplied by my employer.
Besides that, my phone tides me over until I get home.

e6230, pic related.
Sorry to all these chinkpad fans, but the last good one was a T42 (the last IBM built).
>>53512058
I do, however it isn't without its drawbacks. My only complaints with the OS are its (in my opinion) overly aggressive polkit settings which basically amount to, on the user side, needing to input admin password to do mundane things like change wifi networks and difficulties installing media codecs. Both of these are remedied by installing "GeckoLinux" instead which is for all intents and purposes Leap 42.1 with polkit set to reasonable values, and preinstalled media codecs. Saves a lot of time.
I guess I should also talk about what makes it better than Mint/Ubuntu as well. YaST is by far the best GUI system control panel for any linux system which I know of. It also uses Zypper which is the best rpm package manager, and is loads better than apt-get (It's just apt now, isn't it?). Zypper allows for package locking which means until you remove the lock, it will not update even if you do a system-wide upgrade as well as many other features.
Can't recommend it enough, if you have the time to try it, I strongly recommend you do. If you use the tumbleweed release (their rolling release edition) be sure to use btrfs as it makes rolling back anything that's broken after an update super easy!

i3-3120M and a GT 635m
Upgraded recently to an i7-2630QM.
But that extra 10W is too much for my 90W charger/battery it seems, and the charger shuts down when drawing too much power. (dGPU + CPU at 85% or so)
It's strange, if I use a 120W charger with the battery plugged in, it still stops receiving power from the charger at a high load.
When I remove the battery it works fine.

Best I could do given my constraints. Wanted a portable machine, preferably a ThinkPad or another business-class laptop, that had room for upgrades and was libreboot compatible. It isn't the best machine I've owned specwise, but frankly it's probably the comfiest.

~£230 (350 burgers I think) from china.
+£25 for keyboard/dock/case, which is okay, but the track pad is bad.
It is nice, but be warned, really shit battery life at around 4hours and honestly it needs opening up and having at least a copper shim put under the heatsink instead of the horrible oem gel pad. Not for daily use, I'm just using it as a pseudo portable passive desktop.

Also how the fuck is NVMe SSD a minus?
>>53526279
never said the ssd was a minus
and its not nvme, its just pcie

it's like you like making it blurry

Beat that

Ah true it's 2014 version, so what's wrong with a PCIe SSD?
Why not just native or 1920 - 1200? Nothing blurry about that.
>>53526443
nothing, i never said there was something bad about it
and 1920x1200 even on my old 15" is too tiny.
but if you go off of 4:1 scaling things start to look blurry so I just stick with the native effective res
>>53512073
the hp pavilions are shit, i had one and it broke at about -10degree celsius. A deent laptop should be able to deal with this kind of temperature
>>53526502
>nothing, i never said there was something bad about it
Eh, why dedicating an entire arrow to it then?
>1920x1200 even on my old 15" is too tiny.
What the hell, anon. I use it on my 12" screen and while it looks tiny compared to 1440x900, it's easy to get used to. On an even bigger screen it shouldn't even need time to get used to.
>>53526422
have a 12 year old toughbook cf-74, still running without prblems, so i'd say your alienshit got beaten

Purchased in late 2013 for $685. Ended up costing a bit more cause the fucker only came with 6GB of mismatched RAM and I had to buy a new 8GB kit. I could have contacted Newegg but being a refurb I'm sure they would have only offered a full refund if I sent it back.
>>53526815
Oh yeah and I've since replaced the HDD with a SanDisk Ultra II 256GB SSD.
>>53524853
I'm running Debian 8.2 and i don't use it too much so 40GB HDD and 512MB RAM is just fine for me. I never use more than 300MB anyways so I don't think I need to upgrade
>>53526443
wait so they upgraded the SSD in the 2015 version? Neat. What's the new r/w speed? I get 620 MB/s write and 710 MB/s read on my 2014 according to BlackMagic.
>>53527246
650ish/1200 write/read, so while damn nice, I doubt you'll really notice a difference.

>>53527346
oh wow that's pretty neat. why the discrepancy between the read/write improvement? does it have something to do with NVMe vs PCIe?
>>53528306
Not the slightest idea. I don't remember the readings on Windows, so it might be a software thing or Apple is just cheaping out on a high level.
