Also, forgot to clarify that It's the non-touch screen model, I made a mistake with pic related

>durability
better than any consumer laptop
>performance
for shitposting and watching videos? perfect. playing games? don't buy a laptop
>battery life
i have a 6 cell battery, lasts me an average of 3 hours, which is enough for me
>linux
good linux support, I also run mint

so yeah, its a $200 laptop. if you want to gaymen, you can easily build a computer for $800, and you still spent less overall than buying a flagship laptop

The resolution and iGPU are its biggest downfalls. You can get away with the weak iGPU if you don't play video games, but the resolution is going to suck no matter what you use it for.

>>55029182
where can i buy this really nice looking case?.

>>55029182
it's part of a case study

>>55029182
HAF nvidia edition or something?

what level are you yet?

>>55029193
R&K

>>55029234
What level are you starting from? Do you have programming experience?

>>55029126
Looks like a Tron-cycle

>>55029278
i know, it's perfect~!

why do retarded people make new threads when we have an ongoing stupid questions thread?

>>55029030
Because it is not a stupid question.

At least on a computer, most things are going to be shaped around straight edges. I wont deny that the triangles look better in that pic tho for organic structures.

>Should I drop my GTX 970
Yes

>>55028960
Why not just compare benchmarks?

>>55028960
wait for benchmarks.
though if you sell the GTX 970 now some retard might buy it at a price that allows you to get RX 480

I'll apologize when you learn to poo in loo.

>>55028875
Designates nvidia to be the loo to poo on

Real talk, do you think nVidia is preparing a GTX 1060 that will be competitive with the RX480, or is AMD just going to dominate the midrange market?

>>55029668
this

>>55029668
This but still most of the time might as well use an array

This software sucks. It's throwing those paragraph symbols at me, and I can't finish without typing them, but they don't exist on the fucking keyboard.

>>55029052
Please.

WOW, how was I supposed to know those meant to press enter.

they're both shit

I had one for 6 weeks but ended up returning it due to issues with sleep not working and the whole system going mental when I undocked from the eGPU in the keyboard. Both are/were known issues with no fix at the time. Hopefully they are fixed now but I have no idea.

I was happy to get rid of it by the end of all my troubles but before they really got to me I loved the machine. The screen is sensational. Keyboard is better than a macbook pro but not as nice as a modern thinkpad. trackpad is almost as good as what apple can do but still doesnt feel quite as natural. The screen is fucking gorgeous though. I havent seen a better screen.

I ended up switching to a thinkpad x1 carbon which has been perfect to be fair.

i wish microsoft had actually given us a proper fucking laptop though. not this detachable shit that just causes more problems. they have some fucking fetish about tablets and touch when I DONT FUCKING WANT IT. Just give me a Microsoft ThinkPad ffs

>>55028700
>i wish microsoft had actually given us a proper fucking laptop though
This

But they are insisting on the UWP/tablet interface gimmick

Im sorry but windows is useless this way.

>>55029330
Microsoft's aversion to practicality is puzzling. They're so close to making a real actual rMBP killer but their hardon for tablets is too uncontrollable.

As a current Mac user I might even buy an official MS laptop if it were a proper laptop. I like my 9.7" iPad Pro better for tablet stuff so the hybrid crap is just an annoyance and handicap to me.

tldr

do a one-liner neet, what do you need?

Oh and forgot to mention, some applied modern algebra-type courses as well. Like I said, I wanna go hard & fast into it, so if that includes related math fields and concepts, bring it on nigger

Excellent.

Go write a program that downloads all post images in a 4chan thread, and saves them to a directory of your choice. In C. No external libraries other than C standard libraries and basic network sockets.

That's your assignment. Learn whatever you need to learn to get it done, no excuses. Google the fuck out of the problem to learn the relevant technologies, but don't look at programs that do the exact same thing. Return when it works.

Noice

It doesn't take over 1 gigabyte to install because it's actually well designed so that all the libraries don't need to ship in three different copies like Haskell's dynamic, static and repl versions. While at it, it can create completely independent images depending on nothing, embedding the entire language within.

Just 11 megs.

Guess what it is.

And you OP are a script kiddie and a faggot

thanks OP if you find another information that everybody knows but you still want to remember us what we already know, please come back and try to re-teach us, bye,bye.

Meanings of terms change, grandpa.
Nobody gives a shit about old faggots who claim to be the "real hackers"
