>>59469141
Actually metal build, not plastic.

>>59469072
I see you've never used a HP laptop past 2011.

>>59469321
my spectre runs hot, would totally not use on my lap

>>59469375
>assuming any high end laptop won't run hot
>not understanding how heat, power consumption, and cooling work
>comparing consumer laptops to business class notebooks

Any other points you got there Einstein?

Thinkpad p50 is the best

>>59469444 >>59468991
Fucking this.

>>59468991
>smaller than 13 inch
>has ports
Fuck yes.

>>59468991
>smaller than 13 inch

That's a con, not a pro. I want to actually be able to do productive tasks on my laptop, not have a glorified tablet

Have the prettier 1040 G3. Nice laptop other than no Ethernet port.

this is actually better because it has more ports and a standard voltage, socketed processor

you could drop a 35w i7 3632qm in it

>>59468991
The frame is shit. Mine doesn't always sit evenly on a table, so you just press down on the corners and voila, it's no longer wobbles.

>>59472935
2570p user here, if I can use my 12.5 inch laptop for productivity, what's stopping you?

>>59474286

>the best laptop you can buy in 2017?
would be a second hand laptop from 2014

>>59474428
that's the state of laptop techonology for you

>>59474368
There's a newer model out.

>>59474428
So like the one in good op?

>>59468991
I got the Dell Inspiron 7559 and it's good enough for what I need. School and some light gaming without looking like a 'gayymer' laptop.

>>59468991
Since the thread starts with the words "Is this the best laptop you can buy" I'm assuming this is kind of a general thread.

What's an upgrade for T430 with i7 and Nvidia GPU? The main flaws in it are plastic body and TN screen.

The body has cracked from the back left corner from the hinge area just from opening the lid. The openin motion seems to put pressure on plastic instead of the metal chassis inside. Also the screen has bad viewing angles and I have to directly aim it towards my face when I use it as a secondary PC to watch videos.

So anything that has a metal body, IPS screen, no numpad and preferably a GPU. When my brother visits he plays Overwatch with my laptop so I don't want to downgrade to one that doesn't run it at all. Size and thickness don't matter to me, they are all slim enough. I use it on my desk and lap, I don't need to put it in an envelope and mail it.

Get something with 7700hq and gtx1060. It's like a portable desktop for the same size as a t420. They also typically come with a 1080p IPS panel too.
