Hey /biz/

What's a good work laptop?

Should I purchase a work laptop with worse sspecs or a gaming laptop with better specs at the same price? It will mainly be used in an office and for typing, video calls, and watching movies.

My budget is around $1000 give or take a $100.

I want a good keyboard, good display, solid build quality, and good touchpad. I want it to last. Thunderbolt ports are nice.
>>
You should probably ask /g/
>>
>>1566817

I would, but I think they hate consumer related questions.

This is for business.
>>
I would get a "normal" business laptop.
Gaming stuff is always bloated with software nobody needs and sacrafices battery to run the big GPUs.
There is a reason good business laptops cost as much as gaming laptops.

If you don't get a thinkpad you're a fool.

Telltale sign of success, prestige, and intellect.

A dual boot Windows/Android , 2 in 1.

Two votes for the Thinkpad

Can you guys tell me more about why you like it?
>>
>>1566961

A thunderbolt 3 USB port would be nice.

However, durability, comfortable typing, and longevity are my biggest concerns (with a nice screen). Speed is important also.

I love SSDs. The speed for loading things is amazing.

I need something reliable that isn't as expensive as a MacBook Pro.

>>1566961
superphish

I will never buy a lenovo ever again. you shouldn't either OP.
>>
>>1567062
long story short lenovo used to be THE god-tier of laptops in every field. In recent years they started getting greedy and the incident that really pushed a lot of consumers away was called the "superphish" incident. They preinstalled a bunch of bloatware on their laptops and had massive security issues and fucked over lots of people. There are ongoing lawsuits still and they may never recover.

thinkpad t series for life
>>
>>1567108
I had a fully decked t500 I bought new for 1500$ in 2010. I'd gladly pay that amount for that exact model again, but lenovo has lost my business forever. Hello ASUS.

Looks like Lenovo is the way to go if you don't get a MacBook Pro

Fucking don't ask /g/ about tech stuff, they're all artists who recommends Thinkpads and Arch

>>1567423

I don't think they have a $1000 XPS with good specs
>>
>>1566769
Anyone that suggests a Mac is fucking retarded. The core hardware hasn't been updated since 2012. TWENTY-FUCKING-TWELVE.

It's a joke lmao

Same as how iphone 6s gets btfo by a $250 chink phone in everything except camera quality .... oH and like $500 lawl
>>
>>1566858
Wtf are you talking about? No they dont you clown
>>
>>1567917
What phone are you referring to?
>>
>>1567939
Xiaomi or Oneplus
>>
>>1567940
Better camera. Not better at anything else. I never understand why people bash apple so hard. A comparable android is always relatively the same price

Wat

It's WORSE in the camera and better or equivalent in everything else dumb dumb
>>
>>1567947
Look at this retard

m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7630&idPhone2=7242

The $280 phone vs $750 iPhone

$280 phone:
Better screen, higher pixel density and size

Better processor

Has SDCard slot, which iPhone doesn't.

Better battery

***WORSE CAMERA *** (by a little)

The $280 chinese phone wins. At 1/3rd the cost too. THIS is why apple is shit

>>1567912

>>1567969
Thats an older model you could easily get for $300. Thats a worse phone. Quit being a cherry picking faggot

>Older model

The phones were released practically the same time.

IPhone 6s September 2015. One plus X Nov 2015.

Way to go in your comparison you compared a phone released A YEAR LATER and that also costs 4 fucking times as much....

You're a retard, and only proves my point. you're the cherrypicker here who needs to pick A PHONE A YEAR NEWER, that costs 4x as much just to compete with a budget Chinese phone.

Sad.

>caring this much about brand-names

Grow the fuck up you man-children. OP, weigh your odds and purchase what seems based based on reviews by tech journalists, not fucking random people on a god damn cartoon anime image board
>>
>>1567977
>b-b-b-but iphones are more expensive!!
>Ya theyre also better quality
>b-b-but look at this comparison! Pretty close huh?
>Thats an older model and the actually same price
Fuck off
>>
>>1567983
Comparing a phone a year newer as well as $1000 more expensive isn't really a challenge.

A more accurate comparison is the 6s vs the oneplus X. it's a waste of money for tech illiterates, the same people who need "IPhone specialists".

>Actually the same price
no, the 6s isn't the same price as a $280 chink phone.

Maybe you're in some other country but they're $800 here
>>
>>1567987
Well in america theyre nowhere near $800. Sorry you live in a third world shithole. It explains why youre so fucking dumb
>>
>>1567992
I live in Canada.

How much are they in the US? I google searched it and they're a little less only $650+ it seems depending on capacity.

Nowhere near $800? Id say $650-750 is pretty close to 800. Maybe that's our bad education system though.

I purchased my iPhone 7 for $200 with a 2-year contract
>>
>>1567997
A contract doesn't count you fucking numbnuts.

We're talking about buying the phone outright
>>
>>1567997
Dont talk to him. Hell hate anything apple makes regardless of specs or price just because hes an "enlightened gentleman representing the counterculture"
>>
>>1568002
Who buys a phone without cell service? For what purpose?
>>
>>1568003
I literally compared the specs and price.

How am I hating without justification?

I COMPARED BOTH THE PRICE AND THE SPECS. I'm looking at this as objectively as possible

>>1568004
Bring your own phone cell plans

I pay $30/mo for unlimited call text and data
>>
>>1568008
>I COMPARED BOTH THE PRICE AND THE SPECS
Iphone had better specs at a lower price now your just bitching about data plans which has nothing to do with apple. I got mine unlocked for 400 on ebay because i use google fi
