>>57323228

>>57323252

enjoy your overheating piece of shit that will shatter into a million pieces if you don't cradle it like a baby

>lack of escape and function keys is a feature

>>57323306
The old /g/ would tell you to go fuck yourself for recommending a fucking Apple anything

.>>57323297
Nice bait dumbass

>>57323228
>not understanding Intel CPUs
like you will find any 13" subnotebook which has enough space, cooling power and battery for a quad-core.
>not understanding what Pro means
like the iPad Pro is for professionals and not just their premium line

>>57323375
>old /g/
>not liking apple
>what are apple stickies?

>>57323252
>paying >1500€ to get fucking Intel intergrated graphics
If Apple were smart they would have switched to AMD long time ago. Costs would go down, they would get less CPU performance but vastly superior GPU performance.

>>57323366
I've got an XPS 13, and I'm actually pretty surprised how well it handles heat. You need to put it under a lot of stress before the fan even becomes audible.

>>57323451
>AMD has a vialable mobile platform
did you miss their latest miss-adventure?

That's why I bought a 12 inch business laptop with a socketable CPU. Regarding portability, I don't care about thinness, more just footprint.

Now I've got an Elitebook with

>muh build quality

with a quad core i7, one 2.5 SSD and another 2.5 HDD for data, 8GB RAM, and ~5 hours of battery life, which is plenty for me.

>>57323228
I don't understand /g/.

I bought a Acer 17" with an AMD GPU and CPU and it can play Quake 3 and run Visual Studio. Why the fuck is it so hard for you guys to pick a laptop?

>>57323547
>17"

>>57323228
thinkpad obviously

>>57323563
It's almost as big as my dick.

>>57323509
if someone asks me i also tend to recommend elitebooks over xps

>>57323547
some have special snowflake needs: 10+h battery lyfe, screen not bigger than their cock, quadcore, m2 ssd, dedicated graphics and cost below 1200$

>>57323629
so HP builds you machines with specs that you can never use due to severe thermal throttling.
great user experience.

>>57323629
>10+h battery lyfe

Do you work in the fucking forest or something?

in write speed only

>>57323710
latest MacBook Pros have
3.1GB/s sequential read speed and
2.1GB/s sequential write speed.
so no contest.

>>57323228
see
>>57323577
I recommend the X230 for performance and the X220 for the keyboard.

>>57323877
all of those have dual-cores.

>>57323939
OP didn't specify that he wanted a quad core Laptop. Also W and P series Thinkpads can come with Quad Cores.

>>57323252
Warranty is always 2 years in the EU.
A screen is more than PPI alone.
Battery time is determined how?

>>57323337
But they come with a shitty filesystem, so it is I'm benchmark only.

for real work at cost to portability, P70

>>57324020

i see you've decided to stop fucking around

>>57323366

dell aren't as durable as roll-caged thinkpads, but if you're just using it in an office environment they're fine

probably not as durable for students who throw shit around

>>57324020
> literally a tank
> in fucking weight too
Is there a portable performance thinkpad that doesn't weigh like it doubles as a fucking body armour plate?

>>57323228
Just find out and research yourself what the fuck do you need. It's not like /g/ agrees on anything ever or that things that users here title as "/g/ recommended" has some value in your purchase. Your money, your criteria, your decision. Who knows that just might be the new MacBook. The fact that you decide to cite the number of CPU cores and a price as an indication of anything tells me you have no fucking clue about CPUs, product pricing or actually, anything relevant to choosing a product at all. Now don't make these retarded as shit threads.

>>57323971
how's the pic in OP not clear?

>>57324105
That's a kawaii laptop.

>>57323228
>put an i3
>call it i5

>profit

>>57324140
even if you are retarded enough to think i3/5/7 means the same for desktop and mobile skus, an i3 would never have a turbo.

The only clear choice

What's a good alternative to the 13in MBP for school? I don't need hardcore graphics, just good battery life, attractive design, and something that will last several years (while still being snappy at simple tasks).

>>57324219
Yeah i3's don't even have forged internals, could probably only push a few psi anyway before grenading.

>>57324951
XPS 13"?
