Definitely. If you don't get one, you don't belong on /g/ and need to get the fuck out of here asap.

>>57957057
Also thought for using it for presentations.
>HDMI Out

>>57957047
No because an x61 or x200 or x201 would be better

we need an ARM laptop like this, but:
>4gb RAM or possible to upgrade
>1600x900 or higher
>no huge bezels
>more ports
>swappable SSD
>swappable battery
>optional touch screen
Am I missing anything? There's no real reason to use Intel or AMD for casual browsing or coding. I'd snap up a legit ARM laptop like this for $200 or so.

>>57957230
Noice!
Mostly looking into this thing for travel and presentations.

I've considered it, because I'm someone who is going into college and I need decent processing power for rendering, something portable (I need to be able to move it into other rooms), and something that doesn't drain it's battery under an hour.

My idea so far is buying something like pic related and upgrading my tower so that I can use it for college, any thoughts?

>>57957047
>chiclet keyboard
no thanks

i'd rather use my phone with the awful touch screen

>>57957254
Good idea m8.

Shitty ARM laptops would be slower than a core 2 duo

>>57957254
If you have a bit more money (like 200 bucks), get a used thinkpad or other business laptop. I'm a bit concerned about what the software comparability would be like on a non-x86 laptop.

>>57957314
Alright, I'll mostly be using the laptop for lecture notes and small video playback, so maybe it won't be that big of an issue, however I don't mind spending the extra bit for that compatibility assurance

>Would /g/ buy one for small web-browsing tasks?
>le shitposting from bed machine

Why do you need a computer for web browsing alone. Isn't that what you have a smartphone or tablet for?

>>57957142

>Also thought for using it for presentations.

Or you could use your own regular machine, you know, the laptop you own. HDMI isn't even used, VGA is. Are you a fucking shill? This is the dumbest product I've seen shilled in months. This is only useful for pajeets and other 3rd worlders who want laptops. This has no use in the western person's daily life.

>>57957358
Just get a Chromebook.

>>57957408

>I'm creating arguments which I think are from the same person

Don't sperg here.

>>57957383
Not all sites work well on mobile dumb-shit.

>>57957047
If I had only $100 to spend on a new laptop and my current one was totally bust, then yeah why wouldn't I? It's basically an unlocked chromebook for slightly cheaper.

>>57957402
I don't own a laptop fucktard.

>>57957047
This is great, I just ordered one from Gearbest and can't wait for it to arrive. If you ask their chat support, they'll give you a coupon code for $10 OFF. Absolute deal of the century, makes a great christmas present even though I already have a good laptop.

>>57957441

So you want to buy a separate machine for web browsing only tasks where your smartphone isn't quite good enough. Do you people just like to complicate your lives? I bet you're one of those morons who leaves the house with travelling-tier shit for daily life.

>>57957449

The thing being shilled ITT barely classes as a laptop either, fucktard. Get a cum-encrusted TwinkPad off eBay like everyone else here.

It'd also be nice for college students to be fair. A cheap, light, power efficient laptop that can run a proper OS? Sure a phone is useful but you can only do so much with a virtual keyboard and limited screen real estate.

>>57957402

still at school are we?

Exactly. Someone gets it.

Wow.

>>57957532
Fuck off, you windows shill piece of shit asshole.

>>57957230
Mechanical keyboard.
USB , VGA, ethernet, serial, ps2 ,aux, and Firewire ports since this is /g/ and we all use those ancient ports. Also a CD drive

>>57957506

>college student using Linux on an ARM CPU

Are you mentally retarded?

>>57957507
>>57957510

Nice try. We all know companies still use VGA projectors. That's why Lenovo refuses to drop them on their non-X1 machines.

>>57957564
Lenovo is irrelevant. Go shill your Thinkshits elsewhere.

-8/10 report to shill duty manager for your demotion.

>>57957564
>are you mentally retarded?

No, but clearly you are. You get to share files easily with a proper machine, take notes offline or online at lectures, and watch movies/videos with a larger screen. Name an option at this price point other than an 8 year old thinkpad that would be reasonable for a broke ass student.

So what's having genuine autism like? Do you not understand human interaction or do you understand it but not know how to respond?

>>57957554

how about a bay where you can put a CD drive or another SSD or HDD

>>57957610
A new thinkpad

The new acer chromebook has 2 cortex a72 2 cortex a53 mediatek with 4gb ram

Why not spend an extra $100 and get an ASUS X205TA 11.6 Inch Laptop (Intel Atom, 2 GB, 32GB SSD,) which can run Win 10? Or HPs 13" laptop with the same specs.

>>57957890
GNU/Linux or gtfo.

So how is this better than a tablet?

Just bought on ebay for $88+$19 shipping .... HP Probook 6570b intel core i5-3210M Windows 8.1 12GB DDR3 500GB HDD ... so why?

You've performed very poorly this month, Pajeet. I'm afraid you can no longer poo outside our corporate offices. Gather your turban and curry then leave immediately.

>>57957915
These should run Linux by now. When they first came out not all the hardware on them worked.

>>57957047
Nah, it has that thin gross Macbook look.

>>57958079
That's what modding is for.

>>57958033
Honestly all things considered Linux is the inferior choice

>>57958094

>modding a laptop

What?

>>57957047
>ARM

When is this device actually available?

>>57957230
IPS screen
no TN shit

>>57957047
No, because that touchpad is likely to be a piece of cardboard coated with white veneer.

can i put gentoo on it

I would spend another hundred and buy a thinkpad.

Not op; I'm considering buying a 1037U laptop for writing during classes, surfing the net and drawing. Am I going disappointed and should I buy a 'proper' atom cpu 2in1 laptop + tablet combo?

good post

fits to everything on this fucking degenerate board

>>57957890
Because even it's BIOS/UEFI is bugridden.

Its WiFi behaves differently every 10 or so reboots.

It's a piece of shit. The screen is nice, the battery is huge, but the rest is utter trash. If you're lucky you can get 5 MB/s on the SD card reader (caching enabled). That's how fucking slow it is.

You'll love it at first, then you'll only reeeee

>>57957610
Shouldn't have been retarded and missed all the black Friday deals that had windows netbooks and Chromebooks around this price point.

>>57957299
But batteries would last about 4 times as long, so you wouldn't need to worry about taking the power adapter with you.

>>57957074
This.

Especially since I have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse and can miracast my shit to my 50" tv screen.

>>57957047
Panel is probably TN.
Can it boot from MicroSD?
Only 2 USB Slots? why not USB 3.0?
