More than a couple dozen lines is virtually unreadable. Absolute mastery of vim is required to make it bearable. I've become used to it but it took quite a while even coming from a 12" thinkpad.

5. Its Fucking heavy for a 15" laptop, nearly 10lbs. Not exactly Sexy or slim, its nearly 1.7" thick when closed. Has had to have the Display Hinges replaced twice, CPU fan replaced because it "cried/squealed"

>16GB m.2 ssd (replaceable)
>HDMI out, USB 3.0, SD slot
>3 cell battery, close to 15 hours per charge at 50% screen brightness
>Skull Candy tuned DAC

Cost me $300 including the 128GB class 10 MircoSD card I got for it. Does everything I need it to do.

Pros:
Stellar battery life
4 second boots from being completely off
Amazing screen
Decent Keyboard
Just Werks
Program straight from the Google Chrome store to connect to Windows server shares
Active cooling, no passive trash

Cons
Celeron can get maxed out just maintaining 4-5 tabs of Chrome while playing a video at the same time
Small internal drive (although it can be replaced)

Good&Bad
ChromeOS in general is limited
File browser included is overall usable and the thumbnails layout is nice, but is missing standard things such as progress bar when moving files.

Looking for a new laptop for games and photo editing. Any recs? Price isn't a factor, but cheaper is better

>>57092693
Something from Sager. $1300 is their sweet spot.

If you don't mind the branding, anything from Asus ROG. Their red/black color scheme may be edgy, but they usually have half way decent laptops spec wise with proper cooling. That and they're usually the cheapest option to get an 8 thread i7, 16GB ram, and nvidia based GPU. ($800-$1000)

>>57092495
same as what you'd expect out of a thinkpad. I didn't like the cap it came with so I switched it for the concave one, though. The screen is alright, no backlight bleed or uneven brightness on mine. A lot of people like to meme about the FHD screen's lack of color coverage but the fact that the shade of my 10bit chink cartoons are a little bit restricted isn't going to kill me.

ayyy lamo

The only "gaming" laptop I've seen so far that I would take out in public is the razer blade, but that shit's 1800 for the cheapest model. Why are gaming rigs so fucking sperged out?

And yet you go on about the Razer Blade. The brand that screams "1337 gaymer" to everyone around you. Not to mention they come with U series processors and are overall overpriced shit.

Take a look at Sager. Look and perform amazing.

>>57092845
Excuse me. The Stealth comes with U series shit. Regardless. $1800 is high for what they give.

>>57092845
>hey come with U series processors and are overall overpriced shit.
the new one has a 6700hq, and gtx1060. still overpriced but it looks a NEET machine

I didn't even realize the non Stealth model existed. Regardless, for $1800? and only a gtx 1060? That's the price range you see on laptops offering 1080's.

Overall very happy with my purchase.

>>57092886
On that note, are there relatively light notebooks with CPUs worthy as desktop replacements that come WITHOUT dedicated graphics?

I quite like the idea of an eGPU. Can't imagine a real use for dragging 4kg and a GTX xx70/80 around. When I'm out all I care about is a decent CPU/storage/RAM and that the screen is bright enough. When home? Fuck it, might as well dock it into something.

>>57092934
Agreed. The 1060 is a waste.

Still has 7 months left on the Dell CompleteCare on site warranty which means I could, if I wanted to right after I make this post, take the laptop outside, throw it off my 3rd floor balcony, watch it hit the pavement below, watch it explode into smaller parts, then watch cars and other traffic roll over it utterly demolishing it completely, then call Dell (even now, at 10:15 PM on a Saturday night, tell them "Oops, I dropped my laptop and it's totally dead, broke part, dead screen, nothing works..." and by Tuesday at 5PM Pacific time I'd had a brand new one (might be a refurb but whatever, it would be new to me) delivered to my door. I can't beat that kind of service, nobody can, a no questions asked on site warranty with full replacement as an option if so desired.
