Is this the return of classic thinkpadesque laptops?
>>
I want you to die. No joke, sarcasm, or irony. Please just cease all functions.

Oxymoron.
>>
>>57062144
>30 minutes battery life
>>
>>57062209
you could say the same thing about literally any laptop
>>
>>57062144
That's not a laptop anymore though. That's just an AiO with a battery.
>>
>>57062226
My chinkpad from outlet has 2h battery life under hard work an 5h using vim and listening to music
>>
>>57062228
laptop = compromises
Acer predator 21x = desktop performance on the go (hust like classic thinkpads)
>>
thinkpad design = utilitarian for serious work.
these new gaymen laptops =
>Hey we should put a $(power hungry gpu) that should totally work.
>I disagree with you I think we shoul put TWO $(power hungry gpu)
>What about battery? Nah just put that chink 3 cell one it will be okay.
no compromises ....

pic related looks pretty good with a 1060 inside

You should realize that this type of irony is straight garbage, just slop that anyone can churn out on the turn of a dime. It's not constructive, it's not humorous, it's not insightful because we know everything it relates to and divulges it - it just perpetuates the meaningless ironic shit people pour out because they either think its funny or they're so devoid of value and groundedness in the world that they revert to expressing this in a fruitless recycling of tropes, patterns and sentiments of the garbage around them.
This is def overstepping for who posted this, but you need to think about why you continuously hammer in this 'joke' when there's nothing to be gained, there's nothing to be laughed at, and it only works to reinforce this type of behavior which is at best useless and at worst destructive.
>>
>>57062228
Yeah, it's pretty much a semi-portable desktop.
>>
>>57062226
>>57062251
my chinkpad has a 18h battery life and when it is about to die, i just pull out the first battery and put in the second one, without even having to power the machine off
fucking plebs
>>
>>57062994
My thinkpad always died when I took out the battery, as a child I always shut down the computer that way because it's so fast
>>
>>57062994
Why you call it a chinkpad? Is it some chinky clone or are they actually not made by the nazis now?
>>
>>57063038
IBM weren't Nazis, just Nazi collaborators.

What does this 13 year old cheetolord's fap material have to do with ThinkPads? By the way, 'thinkpadesque' laptops are still here, they're called fucking ThinkPads. They're not 3 inches thick anymore because they do not NEED to be.
>>
>>57063038
Where have you been for the last decade? They sold the laptop division to Lenovo which is a Chinese company.
>>
>>57062046
what hunk of shit is that
>>
>>57063023
>not having two batteries in your laptop
>>
>>57063074
Well other than my childhood and /g/, I never see thinkpads ever mentioned by anybody ever
>>
>>57063101
they are quite popular in the industry
every company i've ever visited either had HP, Dell or Lenovo machines
>>
>>57062046
what the fuck are you gonna use that laptop for? It's like the size of a coffee table, you might as well just buy a simple laptop and build a desktop for probably 87% of the price. Why do you need a laptop to run max graphics everything? Do you play games at the library like a homeless person or something? Literally just get a thunderbolt mini display and glue it to a microatx case, you'll be way less encumbered and spend about 600 dollars less
>>
>>57063240
>moving back and forth between home and dorm
>>
>>57062605
There's literally no point in a gaming laptop anyways. Give it a year or two for thunderbolt ports to get cheaper on lappies and the prices for external GPU enclosures will go down. Just get a notebook with decent battery life or ram and a thunderbolt port and then wait to buy a GPU enclosure, and then you can use the GPU on another laptop in the future without carrying around an actual abrams tank around in your backpack
>>
>>57063274
people have been waiting for external GPUs for like a decade and it's still not mainstream
>>
>>57063243
>paying to live in a dorm
fuck dude why are you buying a gaming laptop even? I hope them loanz aint sallie mae senpai
>>
>>57063290
>implying
i graduated 9 years ago
>>
>>57063283
thunderbolt 3 dude, now the data transfer and power is good enough on those to justify it once they get a little cheaper. razer and a few others have jumped on it. Even linus is shilling them now
>>
>>57062144
>>curved 21:9 display
D-d-d-fucked.
>>
>>57063274
>modular shit
it never has sailed and it never will
too damn expensive, too much complexity, not enough bang for the buck
just buy a fucking desktop if you want to play games and keep a laptop for mobility
>>
>>57063240
It actually sounds like you'd be overencumbered
>>
>>57062144
24 bit audio,
that's been standard for almost a decade. if you care about audio, you use an external DAC.
>>
>>57063310
So what's the horrendous behemoth of a laptop for, again?

No this is a return to the original IBM ThinkPad.

If not for that horrible spiderman font on the keyboard it could look good.
