I say this as someone who is absolutely not a fan of iphones, ipads, etc. The trackpads alone are usually enough to keep me away from most laptop PC options. Then you factor in the inferior build quality, shitty fan acoustics, etc, and the gap becomes even wider.

I don't know what trackfag is but no amount of fan acoustic will make me even consider buying a 13" laptop let alone with these specs. Nigga is you serious?

Buy high end refurbished for 700 that had cost 4000 and get back to me

>>108891168
If someone is selling a $4,000 laptop for $700, it's because it fucking sucks.
>>
>>108891214
No it's because he bought 3000 of them 4 years ago and now he wants 3000 of the new model

I think the laptop market is over due to the shortages, you typically didn't get as much for your money as a desktop, but at least back in the day we didn't have these crazy shortages, laptops with 4-8GB of RAM on a new computer in 2026 are really just scraping by if you're gonna run windows bloat plus internet on it, and the drive storage is pathetic, if you told me in 2015 while I was putting 128GB into my Latitude E6400 that we were still gonna be seeing laptops with 128-256GB of flash storage, I wouldn't even believe it, but here we are.

Things are just not moving.
>>
Yeah these new x86 chips are way too overpriced. Panther lake laptops with the B390 are more than £2000, at that point you are better off just getting a laptop with a DGPU. Lunar lake laptops are still overpriced as well don’t even get me started on AMD laptops they are literally rereleasing the same CPU for like 4 years now.
>>
>>108890947
>linux laptop
there are no linux laptops thanks to amd being fucking lazy niggers
it's all either weak as shit igpus or nvidia shitware and the best you can get for linux is out of production shit with a 7700s gpu
>>
>>108891934
>it's all either weak as shit igpus or nvidia shitware
That's all the more reason to be shipping them with Linux, look how pathetic pic rel is, what the fuck kind of windows only shit are you gonna run? There is no reason that laptop shouldn't have Ubuntu on it, and I know Ubuntu is blasphemy to XFCE guys like me or the tile WM guys, but even bloatmaxxed Ubuntu is a goddamn lightweight compared to Windows 11.
>>
>>108890947
I don't know, with these more accessible and affordable machines, I expect to see a lot of retards coming from Windows claiming that macOS "doesn't work" or "is locked down" because they don't know how to use it.
>>
>>108892265
It will locked down just like the iPhone, but it will be such a seamless and fluid experience, that they'll still be smitten, because Apple knows how humans work, humans can't see or feel a large hard drive and powerful system, but that they can see are super high dpi displays and SSDs booting up stupid fast despite the smaller capacity than what PCs are offering, and they were happy anyway.

I was watching a raid array rebuild and zening out and it hit me, normies like you, apple marketing shill spammers, you will never be able to have an offline LAN

You are too stupid and lazy. It's simply beyond you.The reasons why you would need one are incomprehensibe to someone who thinks brands are status symbols. The fact that LAN cables don't have a brand that signifies status to fools means you can't even understand why LAN cables exist or who would want one. I mean you know you are lying and selling awful underpowered overpriced 8gb uninspired thrash that traps consumers into an awful corporate walled garden cloud portal devices hell but you are so lacking ability, characater, morals, technical ability you are willing to spam this junk for low wages. That's your life. You probably spend most of it on food and rent and then use the free apple homosexual mating call product you get to sit in starbucks trying to hit on other men, hoping some elderly faggot will adopt you and you can live with them as a carer/prositute in exchange for some near geriatric ejaculating in your anus. Even if you won a lottery you would spend it all on overpriced, poor value brandslop logos and subscriptions, the little brain you have was completely overpowered by modern marketing, so much so you ended up a minion of it.

You're the perfect example of the future digital slave, you will have to subscribe to get access to remote storage, cloud games, music, movies and computing resources accessed via terrible tiny screened, overpriced devices with awful specs deliberately designed to be useless for anything other that cloud access portals. Yet you will proudly display your slave brand logo as if telling the world you are a good slave before you go and let some geriatric ejaculate in your anus for food and then spend any time you have left spamming apple marketing idiocy in desperation to get another free sample because it means everything to you to own gank brandslop

I would rather have no computer at all than anything made by rapple somethings are too homosexual for hetrosexuals to engage with, like anal sex with other men, or using apple proiducts.

At least at one point in time the Macbook Air could run windows and Linux, which made it a decent little ultrabook, now it's all ARMshit

There isn't much of a Linux laptop market, we mostly just use some Asus/Apple/Dell/Lenovo/HP/etc laptop.

Holy shit, that works? If I could get Mint XFCE on an Apple M5, I'd pick up one of those efficient motherfuckers as the laptop.

Linux on arm works fine, I have been running debian on an android tv box for like 2 years.
That screenshot is fake, you can see the gpu is llvmpipe. It's a vm.
>>
>>108893152
you can put any other distro on them
dell selling linux laptops in the first place means you won't have compatibility issues even on brand new laptops
>>
>>108893186
I'm just foolin Anon, Ubuntu is such a compatible with everything ass distro, that it's really the only OEM tier distro out there, as much we hate to admit it.

Son of a bitch, guess I'll stick to x86 shit, I did see a cheap low power snapdragon laptop on Walmarts site that had my interest, it was ARM but ran x86 stuff in emulation which is kinda cool.

But for know the claptop will do.

>>108893208
It is one of my dreams to have an arm linux gaming laptop but as it stands the only good arm pcs are those single board computers like radxa rock, orangepi and raspberry pi
>>
>>108893227
Same, all the gaymers want a huge power sucking chud for a laptop, and the companies are catering to it, but I'd much prefer like a 6W to maybe 15W CPU with like a mid range to high end discrete card, I used to be no fucks given about power consumption but now that I'm a decrepit 30 year old man, I kinda like having computers that put out less heat and can be smaller while still getting everything done.
>>
>>108893246
yeah I bought a chromebook and that thing is insane
fanless, battery life good, same performance plugged in as on battery
it's got an atom cpu from 2015 so it's really slow but it shows what can be done with computers
running arch on it not the idiot os that asks for your e mail address

my stinkpad is from 2013 it works perfectly fine for what I use it for, which is the internet and vim

That's based Anon, I remember buying my mom an ASUS Chromebook in 2022 for $149 at best buy, I wonder if that thing can be fucked with to run Mint, cause that thing used like no energy, and at the same time I'm trying to scum my sister out of her Macbook air that she doesn't use anymore with the 15W broadwell chip and 8 gigs

>>108893269
Ivy bridge is fucking eternal, my laptop was found in a fucking closet, slam 16 gigs an 2.9GHz i5 that loves to run at 3.4 with both cores loaded and a 1TB blue SSD and it's nicer than most of the junk at the store.

you'll have to consult the list, they made it harder to install linux on them
I may have even kept the default os but asking for my e mail address just to use the pc i paid for is a deal breaker

I'd be fine with that if it weren't for the fact that their pro laptops have gone to hell even faster than the competition. You pay a premium for the privilege of build quality that's slightly less awful than an Inspiron.
Makes me sad because they used to make very good laptops.

>keyboards with 63.5% failure rate
unheard of on PCs, and yet you curryniggers defend it with "jus werx fer me!"
just because you're in the 36.5% survivor group doesn't make your currynigger trash any good
this list goes on forever
there's no PC laptop as total fucking currynigger shit as crapple's streetshitter books
they are the biggest heaps of steaming currynigger shit in the history of computing second only to curryPhones
