I had a strange dream where I was at the cafeteria in my local community college, and I poured water on a Razer-Macbook hybrid.

This got me thinking... what if Apple allowed different companies to produce different models of their Macbooks. Would the quality improve or would it remain over-priced shit?

Holy shit /g/ did anyone else fall for the "gaming laptop meme"? I used a gaming laptop for over 4 years without ever realizing how shit they were. Paid about 2k for it and my experience was:

>Fans are super fucking loud and still don't cool the laptop enough since there's 0 fucking room to breathe inside.
>GPUs are garbage tier even if they're the latest "mobile GPU" model.
>After a year or so, the latest games run like shit with even on low settings.
>Keyboard feels like total shit.

Anyway I finally decided to upgrade. Chose to spend the same amount as before i.e. 2k. For that I got a GTX 1080, 144hz monitor, i7-6700k, ASUS z170-p, Liquid cooling, and a super nice tempered glass case. There's literally no comparison between this and a gaming laptop, no matter how much you blow on the laptop.

>Case looks amazing and has a ton of breathing room so it's always cool.
>GPU fans don't even need to run most of the time, and when they do they're very quiet.
>Every single game runs at 160 fps on Ultra settings.
>Gaming on a 144hz 24" monitor looks SO much better than a shitty 17" laptop screen.
>Desk looks so much neater and tidier with just 2 monitors + keyboard + mouse.

So tell me /g/, why would anyone EVER buy a gaming laptop? People are obviously purchasing them since all tons of companies are selling them and constantly updating their models. Unless you're so autismo that you just HAVE to take your gaming setup with you on vacation instead of using vacation time to be social and go outside there's just NO reason at all to buy a gaming laptop.

Pic kind of related.

install antergos or manjaro

This isnt 2011 anymore boys arch isnt a shittier verison of gentoo that you have to install all by yourself. Antergos, apricity, and manjaro have made arch usable and better than ubuntu,debian, or mint.

Why are you still using ubuntu?
MOST IMPORTANTLY THUNAR ON ARCH HAS THUMBNAIL PREVIEWS
