Are there any laptops with normal keyboard left on market?

>>60039381
I'm not sure anon, I doubt it though. Laptops stopped being great 5 years ago when everyone jumped on the fucking tablet retard train. (fuck you MS)

That's not the VAIO Z Flip.

My brother in law has that piece of shit. It has too many problems to even list.

>>60039820
Really? Seems like an awesome laptop. With convertibles being the norm it's quite surprising how there are virtually no good ones anymore.

>>60039848
Yeah it sucks big dick. My cousin also has one and his does this thing where the touch screen just stops responding, and its a hardware problem. My brother in law had a bunch of problems with the hinge specifically on his, and hes the kind of guy that babies and is very careful with his tech

Does the T420 have 2560x1440 or what? Im kind of a fag in that the display is the main thing I care about in my laptops. I cannot deal with anything less than 1920x1080

>15"

>>60039371
If it's that slim with that CPU then it must have overheating issues. That GPU is shit tier, lowest acceptable GPU was GT650. I have a better asus from that peroid of time, was probably half the price anyway + my Asus didn't fall apart in half a year like most vaios do+the screen doesn't wobble.

>>60039371
>using intel

>>60040468
I've been using it every day for 6+ years senpai. It does get hot some times but never overheats, there is no screen wobble. Construction is excellent especially since I beat the piss out of it. Only thing that has broken is the little fan grate on the back but I epoxied it back just fine. It just werks

>>60039381
My IdeaPad g51 has a full keyboard, numpad and all.

Wow, that was hard. Also, VAIO didn't go bankrupt, Sony just got rid of it and it's company now.

MFW my 6 year old sony still easily keeps up with a brand new 2017 macbook and it cost less than half of the cuckbook when it was new back in 2011.

>inb4 lol poorfag cant afford a mac XD

I got a VAIO back around 2010, the build quality was shit and the thing died in about a year. VAIO definitely deserved to go under.
I've gone to MSI since and never looked back.

>>60042321
>VAIO definitely deserved to go under
It didn't go under though.

>>60042201
> still easily keeps up
Intel's fault for not improving CPU performance over those 6 years. The GPU is much faster than your old 650M though, by a lot.

>>60042779
It's got nothing to do with how it looks, it's that the screen either has to be off center so I can use the keyboard directly in front of me or the keyboard has to be off center so the screen can be directly in front of me. Either way, it's fucking ass.

>With convertibles being the norm it's quite surprising how there are virtually no good ones anymore.
Just because companies are pushing them as the norm that doesn't mean people actually like using them.

>>60045374
I never said anything about people liking them, I'm saying that way back when people didn't even know laptop convertibles existed, good ones existed, and now that they're all over there are virtually no (is there even one?) good ones.

I have a Sony VAIO Pro, the wireless range is atrocious. Other than that it is OK.

Got one of those for my mom back in 2012 and I'd consider It ok If It weren't for the fucking atrocious h2o bios which Is mac levels of dumbed down but on a bios of all things.

Also the dvd drive broke early on so I sticked the HDD the laptop came with In Its place and put an SSD where the HDD should go. In the process of doing that I discovered the fucking thing won't allow using the dvd drive's sata port to be used for the boot drive.

>>60042052
I found out about plebbit from /b/, haven't used it since they baned me 5 years ago for being "racist" and "violating the terms of service"

>>60039371

is that display panel accurate?
how is the heat with that quad core processor?
I'm seriously considering those old sony or a modded t430 from 51nb

Let me be real with you anon, even though it pains me to say this.

I spent $469 dollars on an Acer 27" 2560x1440 144Hz monitor for my main PC. Yet somehow this 6 year old laptop panels color reproduction is 10x better. Honestly I was pretty assblasted about it at first, and then I realized that the Acer color was great, but the Sony panel was literally perfect. I even compared it to my 2015 15" retina macbook pro work laptop and it was as good if not better then the apple display (except resolution obviously), which are known for super high color accuracy.

Let me put it this way, I have never seen a laptop with better color accuracy than this. But I'm also not a graphic designer or anything like that so my eye isn't professional or anything.

This thing heats up under load, to the point where it was uncomfortable on my bare skin, but I rarely had it under full load for too long. I've never overheated it. Your biggest issue if you're gonna buy one is probably a battery thats been sitting around for too long is completely shot. I know mine now lasts for a max of 30 minutes on half brightness doing nothing but browing /g/ in chrome on linux on integrated graphics.

pic unrelated

If someone posts a link to a laptop that has a trackpad as good as a Macbook I'll buy it immediately.

I think you'll find the best laptop is the Dell Latitude E7440

I really wish AMD could open their eyes and make a laptop with ryzen CPU with thunderbolt and sell cheap docking station for us casual users.

>>60046455
Can AMD even make a Thunderbolt supporting motherboard? I know it's an Intel interface and iirc requires an Intel processor. Is it AMD simply not supporting Thunderbolt or Intel not allowing them to?

>>60046487
Sadly not.
It's something Apple and Intel owns.
XConnect is AMDs take on it, but it seems unlikely they will continue.
Problem is that we won't get any better cooling solutions for laptops.
I have currently a shitty laptop that runs a modest i7-2670qm along with the eGPU thing with expresscard and attached it to a GTX 750ti.
The CPU runs fairly cool, around max 70 degrees than normal 90 when using the gt540m

>>60046535
>freesync
>XConnect
>Zune

What do they all have in common? What do their direct competitors have in common? Figure it out and you'll understand what a market is and how it works.

>>60046564
A market will always shift towards one side, sure. But I am glad there is options, just a shame they're shitty options.

Alienware

I have an Envy M6 with a third gen i5 and 8gbs of ram and i would consider it faster than my desktop, just not in gpu power

Desktop is only a 4430 with 8gbs
