The only conclusion I can come to is that anyone who claims someone has a small penis based on something that person purchases (unless they are XXS condoms) probably has a small penis themselves.

I hope either Dell (with the next gen of xps13) or Lenovo (with the x1carbon or the future x280) will make a decent 12~13 inch laptop before my X201 dies.

Unfortunately, "gaymer rigs" are better than "business class" for laptops. So I might eventually consider the 13 inch alienware or the macbook clone from razer if I am sure they will support Linux correctly.

give me a non meme answer. What is the best laptop for $400-$700?

>>59443626
Literally a ThinkPad with an ssd

>>59443302
I have to admit, i've been thinking about the 15" over the 13" because it's actually upgradable. Though i do really prefer the 13"

Plus whats with this years model not having any Iris Pro graphics?

The only non 16:9 laptops I know are macbooks, surfaces and chromebooks, and I'm not 100% sure.
4:3 laptops would be GOAT, but I also think 16:10 is superior to 16:9.
I don't think we can escape 16:9 on laptop without compromising on the components.

>>59443783
Serves a different purpose. XPS owner usually own another more powerful desktop or a heavy laptop with a GPU that they don't want to move around all day everyday.

I have a dell latitude e6440 and it's heavy as fuck. I use a x201 when I have to use a computer outside without needing computational power.

But basically it sums up to this

You go for the T420
>You want a 12 inch laptop?
>You WANT to hack the trannieboot to free your bios?
You take a x200 and you're stuck with a core2duo
>You're poor but want a core i5 or i7 (first gen tho)?
You take a x201
(avoid the x200s and x201s)
>You have a little more to spend?
You take a x220

That's enough spoonfeeding for today.

I've had my dell xps 13 9350 for a week and have already seen it spike over 95c and now it experiences significant coil whine when performing simple tasks.

This thing is pretty but it doesn't seem built to last. It sucks because I really wanted to like it. Dells solution is to send a tech out to my house to replace the motherboard, but why should I already be repairing a defective unit I have had for only a week? Fuck this, I'm taking it back to costco on Monday. Might go with a yoga 2 for half the price or even spend more for a 13" mbp and call it a day because it "just werks".

What's a good, or the best laptop in the 800-1200 price range? If you can't narrow it down to one, name five.

Is the 2016 x1c preferable over the xps? I want to get a refurbished one

>>59448995
If it's a laptop and has a numpad, it's inherently shit. Only exception being the UltraBay numpad.

I'm going to soon, but I'm leaning towards the XPS 15, because it can go beyond 8gb of ram (i don't need it now, but I expect to use a computer for a solid 5yrs), and the decent video card would make it so I don't have to entirely give up pc gaming if I ditch my desktop.

I would normally not look at 15" models, but this one is smaller than the typical 15". I'd like to still get my hands on one in person if I can.

>>59450531
The XPS 13 has 16GB configurations, and why would you be ditching your desktop?

>>59450656
It's running a 7yr old cpu, and I have little interest in putting money into considering how much I actually use it for gaming, while it would be cheaper to throw in a new cpu + mobo, I don't game enough to justify having a tower around.

as for the 16gb option on the XPS 13, I would prefer not to have the higher resolution display.
I have little interest in anything beyond 1080p if it's just going to be scaled down, and consume more battery, but I suppose I can reconsider.

>>59450945
the not being able to get 16GB without QHD is pretty lame on their part albeit the QHD display is pretty impressive in person.

>>59451002
i completely forgot why I had dropped that option from consideration. That option puts it around $1,900 with CA sales tax. At that price point, I would rather buy a 13" MacBook Pro.

>>59451247
wtf I can get it for around $1200 USD, and fortunately since I live so close to DE I can bypass sales tax altogether

>>59451317
The lesser xps 13 models, with 1080p display, and 8gb, sure they come out to $1,200 with tax, as as for the MacBooks, USB Type-C is an absolute requirement, so I won't be getting an older model.

>>59451623

>>59452491
>work on the go

Such a meme. That's why I have my phone with me and a fully featured portable keyboard, so I can remote-access my home computer and get shit done, if I need to.

A laptop's battery lasts even less than a phone's, so there's no point in lugging around a laptop just to type some text on a screen.

Are people really shitting on 17in laptops? They're still vastly more portable than actual desktops. I put mine in a backpack when I leave the house with it, no big deal. It's hard to squint at a tiny ass 14in or less laptop when I've used a 17in for so many years.

>>59443253
Is that the 13"?
You know it's OBJECTIVELY worse than the Spectre x360
Pick a spec, it loses to the HP

>>59452601
If you're using a 13'' laptop, you might as well go for a tablet with a stand, if all you need is to write text or browse the web.

It makes no sense to buy a laptop to play games or do intensive graphic work anyway.

>>59450531
The Spectre X360 13.3" has 16Gb options
Also significantly cheaper than the XPS spec-per-spec

Doesn't the spectre have a hinge issue?
I going to not using the subway a lot so I need aesthetic and sturdy.
Also how are the vaio laptops

>>59450945
I thought QHD was retarded on a 13" screen (and for most applications it is, and for any non-rendering environment, the hi res battery drains are negligible)
But it's SO nice to have text that sharp, or to see images that clearly. I might not notice 900p to 1800p in games but when looking at text the difference is night and day. Plus being able to flip it around and use it as a tablet close to your face, the hi-res is much more useful in that case
The Spectre x360 outclassed every 13" laptop in battery life, including the Yoga and the XPS

I use my laptop on planes with zero wobble, but that's a lot smoother or a ride
Some people may find it more wobbly than a hinge on a 6lbs laptop, but I don't notice it at all and calling it an "issue" sounds more like some pissy reviewer looking for a reason to hate something

>>59453045
Company policy does not allow me to connect to public networks. I even have a sat crypto phone but that's another story. And where I go sometimes there is barely cell phone reception. Plus hotel wifi usually sucks during weekdays due to them being overloaded with business folks hogging all the bandwidth.

>>59453157
Some people actually use their phones for what they once were intended for and can't really afford burning out the battery on the phone.

>>59453157
Because my phone has shit battery and I'd rather have a USB receiver-sized LTE dongle, specific to my computer (which would not just be my phones data plan) than my phone hanging off my computer struggling to stay charged while heating up like a stove and draining my precious gigabytes

>>59453195
But we were using unibody designs on cars ages before, they just applied the concept to a laptop chassis. And ok, if you want to defend the point that they copied the idea of a unibody that's alright, but it's very far from "a clone". They look nothing alike.

>>59453212
So AT&T cellular data is very important to you
But a USB receiver sized dongle is too much of a compromise for you?

>>59453212
Then how about carrying a powerbank if a wifi hotspot kills your battery? I mean the adapter just feels way too single-usecase, a powerbank is always useful.

>>59453241
I literally just said the aluminum unibody was a MacBook knock-off because if I don't, there will be 15 replies that will say that it is

The aluminum unibody is good is all I'm saying, and you can't reasonably expect to bring up "aluminum unibody" as a point of a laptop without somebody interjecting saying that Apple did it and must therefore be better somehow

>>59453259
You obviously don't spend the majority of your life travelling. You also probably think it's fun to live in hotels and fly a lot.

>>59453268
How about I have a laptop that can provide me with LTE and 8 to 12 hours of battery life without powerbanks and dongles? Yes the price tag is probably outside your comfort zone but some people actually pay for it. I bet you even didn't know that your typical enterprise laptop cost around $10000/year in support agreements and rent. An even your fucking desk probably costs around $5000/year.

I still haven't seen a SIM card network dongle yet, you seem to be pretty adamant that they're unusable for you so which one did you use? Luckily I can handle a half square-inch USB in my computer

>>59454075
What's your obsession with dongles? I'm using a standard x1 carbon that has LTE. I don't understand why I would need dongles when my laptop satisfy all my needs without dongles.

>>59454135
I asked you a question
Which dongle did you use that angers you so much?
I don't care that there's already a SIM card reader already hookup up to your USB header

which laptop has a 2 finger scroll ability that is on par or at least close to a macbook?

Dell XPS looks really good, I have to be honest. I was never a big Dell fan in the past, but their XPS series is really impressing me.
It's comparable to the Mac in terms of slimness, and completely outclasses it in every other area.

>>59454664
Can you try stop being retarded for 3 seconds? I could force a suit case styled sat phone into my fucking bag but that means less other things.

I want one, I've wanted one since I posted that I want one (if they existed) 20 minutes ago.
You've obviously used one (or else you would just be some fucking retard talking about some created situation he knows nothing about), so which one did you use?
I want to see the options, if you say the options are so horrible

What is your major malfunction? You are for some reason so extremely butthurt your buttcheeks have achieved orbit due to me not wanting to deal with dongles no matter how "small" they are.

I've briefly used Huawei E220. It's not LTE but I hope your autistic ass will forgive me. Itallowed me to make the decision I don't want to bring extra cables and peripherals I don't have to bring.

>>59454732
The only underwear that could fit in the size of this >>59454324 network adapter is your panties, which should be on you as you board the plane anyways

>>59454795
There are typically limits to the free laundry. Some only offer one free laundry per stay. Others offer 1 free clothes piece per day. And free laundry kind of requires you to have stayed with them for 50+ nights in a year. I can't always stay with the same hotel chain.

>>59452942
Is that the new "dq" brand?

>>59454853
Did you use that on your XPS? It says it only works with Windows 2000 and XP

>>59454876
Every hotel I've been to with laundry just has a guest-access laundry room. Are you saying you hand the hotel employees your dirty underwear?

Sounds very budget. I need to check next week if they have diy laundry rooms. It could allow me to have less smelly training clothes.
>Are you saying you hand the hotel employees your dirty underwear?
Of course. There are laundry bags in the rooms.

>not racking up points
I have loads of points. I usually use them for free food and drinks in the bar. I usually give away a boatload of them since it's difficult to use them up.
>not living in hotels for basically free after years of jewry
Honestly I'm quite fed up with living in hotels and the points expire after a while.

The bathrooms arent floor to ceiling tiled so I cant have a guy piss all over me in the bathroom without fucking up the walls. Theres no fucking balconies where I can stand on the railing high af on coke contemplating whether just to jump on some Camry and end it all. The breakfasts suck, I dont want fucking cereal.

Fresh breakfast is always considered but at least from what I see, there's just not any demand, people generally rather want something they can grab in 30 seconds or they go out to eat breakfast. Hiring a cook, keeping fresh food and serving it free without any upcharge is kinda difficult to do, especially when people see "free breakfast" and assume it's gonna be cookies and cereal in the first place
>>59455216
That's not Americas fault that's mexicos fault. You get a cleaner from the middle-upper class and you get none of these problems. It'd be pretty hard to tip a cleaning lady anyways, do you leave a dollar on the toilet seat?

Th problem with cheese platters is that everybodys kids come and demolish the entire thing, and then ask when breakfast is
Good cheese is expensive and you lose 100% of the cheese that's been sitting out on a plate all morning
Bacon and eggs are doable, we used to do that a few years ago but the pajeet manager cut it when he got mad at an employee for some dumb pajeet shit
Bread, fruit and coffee is pretty common, I can't imagine any hotel that claims "breakfast" and doesn't even have fruit/coffee

Which of these should I get for good Linux support? Preferably with all open source drivers

>>59455377
