A lot more engineering goes into a laptop than a desktop. Laptop GPUs are often higher binned parts than desktop variants because they need to use less power. It also becomes harder to work with laptops when everyone wants smaller and thinner machines.

>>58152412
get a Clevo barebone
it's the closest you can get to a custom laptop

I just want a cheap facebook machine with a pretty screen
no dedicated gpu
is it too much to ask for?

You should have been looking at Chromebooks then. Here's one for just $250.

Do you know a lot of people who operate their laptops from 45 feet away?

>>58152619
that looks really nice
just what I'm looking for
too bad it does not have my language keyboard available anywhere

laptops are cheap

if you want a custom >rig, build a fuckin desktop

laptop components are all smushed together and besides maybe adding ram, not really good platforms for 'upgrading'

when you want to upgrade just buy a new laptop

not hard

Because things cost money you dumbass.

Anyhow, here's what you wanted for $380:

I think with ChromeOS you can use keyboards in different languages though?

>>58152412
You can custom build a laptop but it costs more.
Also, laptops tend to cost more since the silicon must be higher binned for better thermals. On top of that, way more engineering goes into developing a laptop.

well, when for a i3 laptop retailing at 350$ intel gets around 200$ it's easy to understand why they cheapen on other components

>>58152412
why do you need a desktop when you can get THE SAME performance and BETTER quality with portability ? You are just a fucking poorfag, let me guess. Your GPU is still from ATI and your CPU is AMD ?

A 15" 1080p IPS monitor is around $150.
How are you planning to get a CPU, PSU, HDD/SSD motherboard and RAM for $250?

>>58152412
That's not overpriced. You're just poor.

Any laptop over $1999 is overpriced.

Because putting a bunch of expensive powerful parts into a box takes no skill, engineering, or design thought process. When people talk about building their GAYMEN PCs, they are really just assembling them, not "building" them.

When it comes to laptops, you are talking about actual complications because it is about fitting a certain level of performance into a small form factor that dissipates heat and promotes cooling well, all while not looking like a giant piece of shit(ASUS), and typically requires custom built components on some form or another. It is very hard to actually build a good laptop.

>>58152914
jesus fuck the google phone is a copy of the iphone and this looks just like the 12" macbook

Manufacturers take advantage of the fact that we can't build our own.

The fact that you'd have to spend more money to put an SSD in is a major turnoff

6100u isn't too bad, I have a 5005u which is a generation behind and its still very capable. The real limiting factor is only 4gb of RAM.

8GB is a lot more standard for RAM than it was 5 years ago, too.

I'll give you the storage but the display and RAM are on par with most laptops. As for the processor you're an absolute fucking moron if you only look at clock speed and cores.

The A10 Fusion is comparable to Intel's low power dual core processors in terms of performance, clock for clock.

Geekbench is not a valid benchmark because a lot of its tests use fixed function units, which do not measure real CPU performance.

Netbook form factor devices.
There are various reports the A10 can outperform the Skylake 6100U/6200U series processors in certain tasks.

>>58161314
>Netbook form factor devices.

Those don't exist anymore. You're talking about Chromebooks which are not performance oriented in the slightest.

I have been looking around the last 2 months for a laptop or at least a mobile PC.

Considered a micro-atx computer too, macbook pros, surface book/pro 4, thinkbad x1 tablet and carbon.... However, for the price/performance, with great sadness, I may end up buying a 4k/i7/16gb RAM razer blade stealth... (I can always buy the e-gpu housing they sell and put in one of my old GPUs too)

Such as?

>>58152412
Requires more work. Desktop you just slap a bunch of parts in a box and go, laptops you have to design, lay out, route, and produce each part individually to specific standards, while keeping cooling, expansion, and performance in mind. It's much more difficult than you appear to think.

What's a good Facebook/music player/Having 60 4chan and 10 Youtube tabs opening/I'm definitely not torrenting, sure that's illegal box? As long as it's not like €800 it's ok

>>58162428
Don't question Apple, it can outperform i7 CPUs sometimes. That's all you need to know.

Is there anything that' under 12" that's cheap as fuck and good for software development (like, android studio stuff, so the most intense thing would be getting the stupid as fuck virtual emulator running)

Chrome OS is, at the least, Unix, but maybe it's not designed for real software development.
