>Minipcs cost less than desktops>Laptops cost even less than minipcsShould I just have 2 laptops?One actually portable laptop that I carry with me,and one for work at home?Will a laptop last me at least 5 years, like my desktops did?
>>107505826>Will the cheapest shit with unreplaceable parts and planned obsolescence last me as long as expensive shit I can fix?How do you lack critical thinking skills to this degree and can still solve a captcha?
>>107505826My previous laptop lasted 10 years and still works, so I'd say yes.You'll also be able to use your more expensive laptop anywhere in your home.
>>107506077Not consumer laptops, I mean actual enterprise laptops. These are still cheaper than desktop parts or minipcs.
>>107505826The problem with laptops is they throttle hard as a motherfucker so you will be stuck with gimped desktop performance no matter what. Whereas even a cheap shitbox of a desktop can have the heansink upgraded and you can overclock that son of a bitch by 10-20% (depending on silicon lottery) and get a few more years of use out of it.
>>107506533Depends on what you do for work and what kind of power that needs, I guess. I've thought Enterprise laptops were irritatingly slow even working at very nice companies doing financial shit. The minipc would probably be the minimum I'd want for actual work, though the portability of a laptop is something non-negotiable for a lot of jobs.
>>107505826Laptops are mess with shitty thermalsMiniPC is the way to go.

>>107505826laptops break most oftenthey are garbageand the thermals are just bad, you can't have a good cooler in such small spacea computer will last you much longer if you don't do anything retarded your pc might last 10+ years easily even without doing anything to it and much more if you maintain itand I've seen laptops fail in few years by themselves, the most common issue are thermals, dead keys on the keyboard, screen issues, hinges failing, battery problemsthe laptops with a second GPU sucks most, they are just plainly shit, special driver versions for that specific model, frozen in time, not even working correctly sometimes and never updated again after few years of release of the model - just worthless piece of shitin summary gaming laptops are the worst shit and the other ones are weak as fuckthe only choice are business laptops which are expensive tooyou don't have any of these issues anywhere else, because computers don't have builtin stuff like that, which you can't replace easily
>>107505826I have 6 laptops
Macbook Air and Mac Minis are unironically great value,>muh RAMOSX is fine with 16GB>muh overpriced ssdbuy a NAS.>muh gaymingfair point, but valve are working on improving that.
>>107505826This is a $15 heatsink next to a thick oldschool laptop.Laptops are slow.
