Don't take that Latitude with me.
I've never bought a gaming laptop before, but I've now suddenly got a lot of cash to burn, and I'm considering getting this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154240
The specs look pretty decent for the price, and I've heard good things about MSI, even from people I know IRL. I don't care that it's heavy or big, it's not an issue for me, all I want is something that has really good internals, a nice screen, and it's at or under $1,000. My only problem with it is that it's W10, but I could easily replace that.

The 750 is my portable VMware lab and has been outfitted as such.

>gaming on a laptop
why would you do this.
>>55383586
build quality and batt life is gonna be pants
get something like a thinkpad w541 secondhand
>>55383586
don't fall for the gaming laptop meme
shit will overheat, and build quality is usually shoddy
that 960m is already fairly underpowered
get a good business class laptop and build a PC
Would you recommend me to buy a T100TA? I found some of these for 85 €. I'm thinking of getting one, purge Windows 10 and install Ubuntu. These won't run games, but it should be a nice portable and transformable shitposting and browser device.
>>55383851
I'd recommend getting one of these instead.

Thinkpad T420.
>>55383893
Why? The Transformer Pad has a quadcore Atom, is thin and transformable.
I bet that is the 1.6 GHz singlecore Atom, I actually owned a N270 device some years ago. That was a cruel experience. It should be able to handle my 4chan tabs.

12 hours of battery life.
Can play COD 4 at 30fps on Medium " 1080p

Acer Chromebook 11 and Sony VAIO E.
>>55383723
You clearly don't know what you're talking about. That "meme" is bullshit. There is absolutely nothing wrong with decent gaming laptops. People hate on them because they can't afford them.
Perfect for everything.

upgraded to i7 3632qm, 1600x900 ips screen (salvaged from an alienware), with an external gtx 770
>>55384107
To be honest, it is pretty great. High price, but easily one of the best laptops available. Especially because you can get rid of shit tier OSX and boot your favorite OS
>>55384140
Um the OSX is the best part of the laptop you fucking retard.
>>55384140
>shit tier OSX
Spotted the retard
>>55384157
>looks like shit mixed with homo white
I'd rather install GNU/Linux.
>>55384106
They are bad value proposition. Shitty at being portable with regards to battery life and heat (which is the point of a laptop), and barely-adequate specs for gaming.
>>55384060
nigga my aspire e-15 gets 45 fps easily with everything sans aliasing on max, and yes i have hooked it to my 1080p tv and upped the resolution to test how well it plays, keep in mind that this shit has a 1.4 ghz celeron
>>55383264
11in MBA.
It's okay. Could have done better, but eh. It's a comfy machine to use.
running Windows on it is only a mild pain (battery life halves though, goes from 12 hours to 6)
and OSX is kind of nice, I guess (battery lasts for ages, Renoise has significantly less audio latency, but a bunch of the shit (VSTs in particular) I want to run is Windows only, so I mainly ended up booting Windows, mostly been treating OSX as a battery saver mode than anything)
doesn't help that I do a lot in C# -- was fucking around with Mono on OSX recently, it's shit
and Xamarin Studio's GTK UI builder felt like it was broken (menus didn't stay up/would disappear when you moused over them, layout elements freaked out, had two crashes before I gave up)
super portable though -- don't really care about how thin it is, but it's 11in and gets decent battery and does whatever I throw at it, it's not like you need more than an i5 if you're not gaming or doing massive compiles regularly
biggest issue is that under any kind of extended load, it gets hot as fuck (eg, format encoding (mostly webms and mp3s) or long compiles (building Wine on OSX), that sort of thing)
also, battery life goes to hell (can go down to like 2-3 hours under long heavy loads on Windows, 4-5 hours on OSX)
>>55383264
Any one of these, depending on what i'm doing.
>>55383264
Sony vaio desu.
Thinking of http://www.asus.com/us/2-in-1-PCs/Q534UX/
Can anyone comment?
My dad bought me an HP laptop in 2003?, then I bought a Qosmio in 2006? I got Name brand punched.
20010-11? Purchased First Generation Dell XPS 13 inch with Geforce 9500, Overpaid had it Rushed! 4100-4400$?
I took it everywhere.
that XPS left a solid burn mark on my right leg, sold it 5-8? months later.
Did ASUS 72 480 Nvidia laptop thing, was 20 pounds, bags where 200 bucks, sold that to.
2011-2?, Lenovo 350 ULV laptop right before IBM sold Lenovo to the Chinese.
I LOVED IT!
like real 7 hours of battery life, AMD fanboy was like, RIP AMD
Finally learned my lesson and went to HP.
I cannot remember the model but I remember it was a quad core AMD machine and some MXM 75 watt GPU (it was honestly shit, but I wanted AMD) (2013-14?)
Then I ordered a backup system, ultra cheep and Gave that to my mother.
2014 It was http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Kaveri-FX-7500-Notebook-Processor.117332.0.html I dont remember, Bros! 7500 is Neat, but the touchpad was Kill at zero dollars.
HP called me and said sorry and was on Christmas 2016 called me and said we cannot fix this, Take this FX8800 sir? You are a loyal customer? ( I am Jumping up and down ).
HP is....

Lenovo Thinkpad X200. Great daily driver I got for an absolute steal, but it's ancient hardware.
I'm thinking about getting a Latitude E7440 though. Can't stand the silver top, though. Might save up and nab one of the newer 7xxx series Latitudes, though.
anyone know of a cheap used laptop? im for somethiing lsub 13 in that is portable probalbly will use linux on it, just need something i could take to class instead of my current 15in laptop
>>55386273
Elitebook 2560p/2570p seem pretty cheap on ebay. Cheaper than equivalent Thinkpads, even.
HP Stream 13. Broadcom WiFi/BT chipset was a nightmare to get working solidly on Linux but it's good now. Same battery life versus Windows without any tweaking required. Poor thing was struggling hard on W10.
HP dv6 quad edition, 2011
it's a miracle that it's still running, one of the fans failed, and the fans go on overdrive for basic tasks. battery life is 45 min. at best. besides the hard drive being sluggish it performs fine. never buying a quad core laptop again
I'm thinking of splurging on an XPS 15, but ain't sure whether 4k is a meme and something I require for future proofing...
>>55386631
>never buying a quad core laptop again
You should be saying "never buying an HP laptop again". Quad core is fine if the cooling is done decently. But HP can't cool shit apart from EliteBooks and such, they always end up with some sort of heat problems.
I've got a quad core i7 chinkpad. It works great and gets 10 hours from its 100 Wh battery doing normal things, a good bit less if I'm playing a game, rendering things, etc.
T520
T410. I thought /g/ tricked me with the Thinkpad thing, but then I saw what shit my classmates were buying new for 300 dollars. I fucken love it. Thank you /g/.
What is the cheapest laptop with a 1080p IPS display?

I was thinking about buying a hybrid laptop but what are your opinions on them? Do you ever use touchscreen?
>>55389809
I really like it and since I travel a lot, I find it really practically in a many situations
>>55389782
So when you flip the screen around does they keyboard and touchpad disable? How the fuck are you supposed to hold it and not press buttons on the keys?

ASUS ROG GL552VW-DH74 15-Inch laptop.
It's a good sidekick to my primary rig, especially since I only paid about 800 USD when it was on sale.
The only problem is that it came with a weak-ass gtx 960m, but to compensate for that I use this weird external graphics card adapter I bought off of amazon. The model of laptop I purchased has two mpcie ports (one is meant for additional storage I think), so I just plug the adapter through there and run my older 970 on my laptop.
That makes it a nice "portable" rig for when I feel like playing at a friends place or on campus before night classes.
I am looking for a laptop with:
- panel with a great color reproduction (ips, Adobe..) and 4k resolution
- 4x DDR 4 sockets
- 2x m2
- i7 cpu or higher
- preferably business class build quality but with non pro GPU
- good keyboard
- nipple
I have been looking P50 and P70, but i would prefer them having non Pro GPU.
I will use this laptop for my work.

HP elitebook 8560w
Heavy as shit, battery falls out so taped it fast, replaced the charger but still leaks current from the chassis. Should get me a new one or something.
i need something robust for about 300$?
i am considering T420 so far
but i'm not sure if it's just a meme
any other recommendations?
Late 2011 MBP 17". Got it fairly discounted.
It still runs damn fine, so I'll continue to use it as my mobile workhorse while I build a PC in a couple of months.

I'm looking for a decent laptop for daily use and work. I do heavy image processing but most of it is on a remote server. I have a thinkpad x220 atm, but it seems to overheat a lot when I start matlab and try to do any small tests at home.

but im looking for a macbook pro
What's the best laptop for $1,200? I got a rMBP two years ago (as a gift) and while I don't hate it, I think selling it (it's worth ~$1,200 now) and getting a new laptop for $1,200 would get me a much better computer now.

Dell XPS?

Whats a cheap laptop with

Toshiba Chromebook 2. Cost me $280 and it shit stomps my T420 in regards to screen quality, battery life, and portability. Since buying, I haven't had need of my T420 at all. Get 12+ hours battery life off a single charge. Only 3 cell battery too.
While ChromeOS is rather limited, I found a way to connect to Windows shares over the network do no issues since then. That and I found I could replace the 16GB m.2 ssd that's inside with a 128GB for $40.
>>55396500
this actually isn't a shitpost. as someone with a rMBP 13 and the topend XPS 13 2015 model, I find myself using my Toshiba chromebook when I just want to hop online and do research without bothering with anything else. its really excellent and the battery is a predictable 8-9 hours for reals
>>55396538
Honestly im hard pressed to find a laptop with
>1080p screen
>m.2 ssd
>killer battery life
For the price I paid for my Chromebook. Added a 128GB microSD card and I'm golden. Granted it's only a Celeron dual core compared to the i7-2620m in my T420, hence the battery life. But I found I'm not doing anything super intensive on the go. Got my 6700k/980ti desktop at home for the heavy lifting.
>>55396597
80% of my normal work is done in salesforce or online configuration portals; only corporate IM and virtualization jobs really make me carry the XPS when I think hard about it. the vast majority of people's jobs can all be done within a web browser these days, people just aren't comfortable admitting it.
I spent 30 minutes installing an arcane series of drivers to get the USB-C dock working for this XPS just now... not sure why I even bothered. for the cost of that dock I could've gotten 2/3 of a chromebook

Do you work at ADP or just a company that uses them?

Where did you get the ADP lead? I have friends do but the only integration I work with ADP on is we have their ERP plugin for Oracle that kicks out my paystubs, complete 1996 style interface but it works in Chrome so no complaints
>>55396689
My dad works there, he sells salesforce and all that to companies.
