Let's discuss the consumer laptop market
What trends are you guys noticing?
What machines do you find interesting/want?
Do you think the traditional laptop form factor is here to stay?
>Displays
FHD displays are showing up at lower prices. For example, ASUS is currently selling a "Vivobook", which is a 14 inch FHD laptop with 4gb ram and roughly twice the performance of N2840. I own a N2840 machine and it is sufficient for light use, the Vivobook is definitely a product I would buy. Acer has a gorgeous 14" chromebook with the same hardware (it's just like when we saw the HP Stream's N2840/2GB DDR3/32GB EEMC in everything) for $300. It claims a 12 hour battery life. You can install *nix natively. I would suggest this thing to anyone I know who isn't good with computers. They get roughly 3100 in Geekbench 3, compared to the ~5000 of the t420/2520m. I would consider that a good "deal".
>Gaming
We're seeing major GPU efficiency increases with 14nm lithography and I feel that this is going to be huge in the laptop market over the next year. Only HP has a 7th gen AMD computer for sale, a FX 9800p, because it seems Apple has bought all of the chips. This is a good sign. We may finally get to the point where a moderately priced, portable, laptop can play current gen games at console levels. Strong APUs able to play online games like CS:Go LoL and WoW will be very popular as these are the games that the most people spend the most time in.
FINALLY e-GPUs are catching on. They really are the best solution for mobile gaming. I have never appreciated Small FFs until I took my full tower with me all over the fucking country last year. With CPUs being as strong as they are, any decent laptop will be able to play AAA titles with an egpu. This will also hopefully drive OEMs to include faster I/O ports on entry priced machines. At this point it's just waiting for a reasonably priced one to hit the market, they're relatively simple as far as hardware goes.

We do not talk about the music as it is but how it's created and what we use and how to help
others get better

1 simple rule I hope you can guys do, please don't be assholes to those who
have a different perspective on another DAW, no matter what it is or how shitty
it is. I know there are some very laughable ones out there but ya know...
So please just be as helpful as you can.

Hi /g/, i've been having issues with my PC for a little while and whatever game I play, it tends to just lag and go back to normal, I think it may be my graphics card but i'm not entirely sure, my graphics card is a GTX 760, let me know if I must provide more information, I also checked for drivers and updated them and did a virus sweep and clean and nothing changed, any help would be appreciated

So /g/ I did a thing today.

Copped this old ATX beige server case today for a few bucks, had some junk PIII 400mhz in it.

Turns out my motherboard didn't quite fit so I had to get the Dremel tool out.

Do phone cases actually protect your phone? I have a simple rubber one for my Moto G3, and recently I've started not using it because it interferes with the headphone jack.
