What is the ideal laptop screen size?
64 Posts / 11 Images

>15"
>"large"
since when?
last i checked, 15.4" was the median, and 17"+ was large
>>
Wtf I use 15 on the go
It is a bit big I will admit
>>
Been using a 11" Macbook air for three years now, is a good size.
Had a 14" 21:9 toshiba, liked it too. It was actually shorter than my current 11", about the height of an average 10"
I do like 10, but also really love the Vaio P's size, for the sake of the keyboard. I'd like smaller for pocketability, but by that point you start sacrificing the keyboard.
Really, I'd need 20 or so different mockups in front of me to tell you the ideal shape and size.

If you want help:
>Assemble parts list
https://pcpartpicker.com/
>State the budget for your build (and country if not USA)
>List games/software you use often, as well as your monitor resolution + refresh rate
>Clarify your goal for build improvements: lower price or improved specs?
How to assemble a PC, select components & more (outdated)
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php?title=Build_a_PC
CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>G4560 - poverty-tier builds
>R3 1200 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R3 1300x - Good stop-gap between the 1500x and the 1200, only get a 1400 if you absolutely need multithreading
>R5 1500x - Good but up to 1600 if you can
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; 1600x if you want higher stock clocks
>R7/Used Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use; Not for just gaming
GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60~hz maxed, running most maxed older games at 100~Hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; RX580 better in newer games
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@130hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p
>GTX 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games
>Good fucking luck even getting a VEGA right now
RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen CPUs benefits a lot from high speed RAM
General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor

They know the stock volume was very very very low. They put the price lower for better reviewers score. $499 for a gpu bigger than Titan Xp + HBM, c'mon we are not stupid AMD...

How's that article autistic?
Is having basic education and critical thinking and overlaying it in a blog in simple words that are easy to understand now considered autistic?
Do you have to be a sub-30 IQ and EQ troglodyte retard to be considered non-autistic these days? Do you even know what autism is OP you dumb shit?
