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/

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.

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.

superphish
I will never buy a lenovo ever again. you shouldn't either OP.

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

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.

And they're right

xps 15 nigga
>>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
15 inch Macbook Pro is god tier
>>1567947
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
>>1567969
Thats an older model you could easily get for $300. Thats a worse phone. Quit being a cherry picking faggot

>muh sd slot
>>1567973
>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.
>>1567995
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?
>>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
