this.
intel just holding the sandybridge baseline due to no competition. Only improving on power saving dual cores

>>60230383
>implying 4GB isn't enough for the target audience

>>60230561

>at the same time charging $1000

ya the target audience are dumb tech illiterates who just check their facebook and instagram to see if they got their ego validation aka "likes" and open M$ office to type their 200 word essay for English 101.

I actually want to try and live without any writable HDD whatsoever for the month or so.

>I actually want to try and live without any writable HDD whatsoever for the month or so

So you want to be a facebook/instagram whore?

So what's actually a good laptop for it's price?

I need a new laptop.

>>60231164
Some custom built Clevo machine.

>>60231164
T470

>>60231018

the newest mbp's have only 2.0ghz processor. 2015 mbp has 2.7

i dont get it

>>60231143
I use a former once a week and I've never used latter.
So... yes, somewhat. But it would be an interesting challenge for me, I think. Everything in the public cloud services, everything sensitive is encrypted. I need to automate the install and update of core programs. It's kind of like building the disposable infrastructure, but for your desktop.
>>60231164
Cheap Lenovo ThinkPad.

>>60230976
>$1000
$250 on aliexpress

>>60231208

oh wait nvm you have to get the stupid touchbar in order to bump up to 2.9

fuck that. 2015 mbp is more bang for your buck. thats a fact.

That's almost worst. And it comes with W10S? That's a ultrabook-tier price for a fisher-price-tier OS.

MS dun goofed this time.

>>60231327
The amount of people willing to do this is few and far between. You can't recommend someone a vulnerable laptop on the expectation they'll take these steps to fix it.

i have chrome with 5 tabs open, notebook++ open, and a remote login to a local server

i'm using 5.5GB of RAM.

4GB is laughable but if all you do is check your email and go on Twitter then its ok

>>60231362
You can upgrade to pro at literally any time for free

>>60231164
Used Thinkpad or Elitebook

>>60231164
Surface pro 4 with 256gb, i5 and 8gb ram

But only if you plan on using one note

>>60231018
m3 is actually good, at least kaby lake one is as fast as any old chinkpad with the turbo

>>60231164
T470 with business $400 discount is good

>>60231310
only the vpro thinkpads have the vulnerability

>>60231681
M3 is only good on mackybooks you retard. If you want to see what M3 feels like on an actual computer go buy the surface pro 4 m3. That shit lags out whenever you open firefox.

I don't know, anon. Mine is running pretty great despite being a bit dated.

>>60231878
Why would you buy laptop with ssd instead of stronger cpu? You can upgrade to ssd later yourself, you cant upgrade cpu. best choice would be buy laptop with hhd and i7, with m2 slot and extra ram slots.
Laptops with ssd's already gets extra price premiums put on same thing with ram, if you can do your research, you can get much better deals.

>>60231164
If you're looking to spend $1000, get an XPS 13. The price point is better on the 13.

>>60231878
They downclock cpu like crazy when unplugging charger, I'm sure yours cpu frequency stuck somewhere at 800mhz-1ghz, and that's how thinkpad save battery desu. Put into performance mode on power option and see is still lags or not.

>>60230383

WTF happened to that retro thinkpad?

I might just replace the battery cells in an old w520.

>>60232059

because people like to have lots of stuff opened at the same time

How much is used for caching?

>>60232099

1.2

>>60232059
I currently have a shitty samsung laptop with a 256gb SSD running Ubuntu. Upgrading from 4gb of ram to 8gb still managed to give a noticeable improvement in perceived responsiveness

>>60232059
An idea, a virtual machine, a lot of tabs in Chrome, Pillars of Eternity on a separate virtual desktop, tor browser, sometimes JMeter, some other stuff like Slack or Skype and I'm >>60231976 over my RAM budget.

The clients don't know that and I get $700 (average) a month of additional income on top of $67k a year + DJ gigs ($14k a year) + part owner of cozy mini-mart ($16k a year).

m3 should only be running native apps like Edge which are optimized to perform on lesser hardware

Ok, I admit that I'm a stupid ESL. I have read it three times by now and I still can't understand what the hell he is talking about.
Can somebody explain me how is it relevant to RAM consumtion?

>>60232286
He means he gets a hefty yearly income and part of it is earned by using a phone with drawing/photo-editing/art apps for graphic artist gigs while this thread is about complaining about RAM size.

Right there. I mostly use as a music delivery device for my stereo bluetooth headset. Even at home.

3770/980 win 10, mostly used for the games.

Typing this stupid message right now.
I also run my media server and torrents on a separate headless machine.

So I'm getting there.

You know all of the people involved in the making of these shit products go home to Apple products. They all have Macs and iPhones, they don't personally use what they peddle to you. They may pretend to, but the reality is obvious.

no just mistaken, its around $500 depending on specs, without logos/brand names obviously
