Nigga what? It's literally the best Windows laptop on the market in the last five years at least. It can be improved and the hinge is retarded, with the battery in tablet mode is a complete joke but it's still a great product and will only improve with more efficient CPUs.

Just ignore the tablet gimmick and view it as a laptop mainly.

Look at that hinge, nigger. It won't last 6 months. Also undocked it's under 2 hours of use.

You wintoddlers are delusional and must be gassed.

>>59725496
I'd say they're doing pretty well for themselves if the dumbest shit they've ever done is the best Windows laptop on the market. The Surface Book 2 will most likely have a regular 360 hinge anyways.

Well atleast it's not the abomonation that was the zenfone 2 with that fucking atom chip in it.

Phone is shit, don't get one.

Zenfone is terrible. The build quality and sheer amount of bloatware made me sell mine soon after purchasing it based on bad /g/ advice.

From what I read on the zenfone2 subreddit, it is common for the thing to just totally die after being plugged into a PC. Asus has poor customer service for RMAs as well, according to these reports.

If its any consolation, the guy I sold it to says that he really likes it. He had to get me to sign a form saying i sold it to him and needed the receipt because the IMEI got blacklisted somehow. He seems like a pleb who has never experienced stock Android.

No. If your goal is to make a distro you should first start buy learning how to host your own software repositories compatible with your package manager of choice. Then once you have that figured out, learn how to modify the installation media of an existing distro to utilize your own software repository. That's really all there is to it. From there you can start customizing the default software downloaded by the installer (if you choose to have an installer).

That being said, LFS is not a bad idea if you want to get your hands dirty. But if you are asking this question to begin with, my instinct is to tell you to start with Arch Linux since it's a lot easier to get up and running, but still requires you to at least understand on a basic level what some of the fundamental parts of the OS consist of and how they can be configured.

>>59725470
this

First make sure you can handle something like Arch, that isn't hard or anything but requires you to directly manage the system. Then move on to gentoo, then once you understand that you can move on to gentoo

>>59725470
I use Arch regularly. I just wanted a better understanding of linux as a whole, as opposed to just following a flow chart to install it. I don't intent to use the distro really, I just want the experience.

What?
Because of his hair?

Not reading your dumb thread, gamer kid.
But they're not the same. The i7 has more cache. Sure, -you- don't use hyperthreading right now. I glanced at your idea to upgrade to the 7700k despite downplaying its value. What the fuck. Shut up. There'll be a new intel generation in a year. Good luck selling a 7600k in favour of a 7700k.

>stuttering mess
The fuck are you talking about? The 2500k came out six years ago and hasn't made any game a "stuttering mess"

I know firefox does a lot of bullshit but is there really an alternative? Obviously I'm not going to use Chrome, how is chromium?

>>59726052
>I'm not going to use Chrome, how is chromium
it's chrome without branding
same telemetry and everything

>>59726101
OK

How about ungoogled chromium then?

I don't think you can boot with that anon, just get a nice m2 and a home server/nas for storage.

Some beige shit how the fuck am I supposed to remember I was like 9

Commodore VIC-20 here, upgraded to a C64 a few years later.

this.

and they weren't actually mine, but belonged to my parents/grandparents. my maternal grandpa had a couple old beige terminal computers next to a pachinko machine he brought back from korea. my paternal grandpa had several beige computers that took 5.5 inch floppies and he'd show me how to get games on them.

Its called augmented reality you dense fuck

>>59724856
looks cumbersome

>>59725002

Microsoft, Magic Leap, Google, Alibaba, and basically every tech company refers to it as Mixed Reality. Headmounted, spatially aware, inside out positionally tracked with surface reconstruction is MR. AR is old gen Pokegay Go mobile based stuff.

Let me know when someone competent runs their tests.

Depends on what boards they tested on, some people did test on multiple motherboards, and some had significant increases in performance, and i think gigabyte's actually had less performance.

A video is a pretty inefficient way of displaying benchmark results. Just give us an image with the graphs on it you retard.

Not worth it as someone who had a Note Edge.

Shit will die on you in a few weeks.

lucky piece of shit.

There are literally 5 other threads about this.

Nope. MS will double down and try to squeeze more out of the peons on Win10. Then a major data breach or similar event will happen to turn even more people off from Win10.

>Will Microsoft do anything innovative over the next 5-10 years?
Probably not, and they don't need to.

People buy Android for personal mobile devices. It lives on innovation. New phones add new features that make people want to buy them. Mobile interfaces are fairly new and constantly changing and improving.

People buy Windows for business, productivity, and gaming. For business and productivity it mostly does better with minimal innovation and progressive feature enhancement. People want the same interface they're used to, and desktop interfaces are mature. Gaming is similarly mature. There's not very much MS can bring to it apart from improved DirectX that supports graphical enhancements on new GPUs.

Microsoft knows they're losing ground to Android at home. People are switching from desktops and laptops that run Windows, to phones and tablets that run Android. They've fought back some with Windows Mobile and Surface, but it's a losing battle. They admitted this by selling "Microsoft Edition" Samsung Galaxy S8s that run Android.

But it's not going to kill them. Desktops still kill mobile on productivity. Android can run on a desktop, but the GUI sucks for the use case, and the app selection for desktop tasks isn't good. Businesses aren't about to ditch PCs anytime soon.
