Some of the X/T/P series ones have hot-swappable batteries you can swap without even turning it off. Your battery life is then limited only by how many batteries you are willing to get/carry.

Better than your mother, who would let anyone stick anything up her ass, wouldn't you say?
>>62024558
Dell or Apple. Not memeing. Dell has the best build quality out there for PCs. Apple does too. People will try and tell you they don't, but they do. Any manufacturer that doesn't make heavy use of plastic screw mounts (aka apple) can't possibly have shitty build quality.
Beware though, if you want to cheap out and get an air or macbook, it will be sub par, get a pro or not at all.
Also there are a select few dell models that do suck complete fucking ass. Just stick with precision's and latitudes and you'll be fine though.

>I'm wrong to assume that something like the ISS would expect the highest standards of reliability?
No. However, if you think they're giving NASA, or, *were* giving NASA (they switched to HP) off-the-line laptops you're a fucking mongoloid. The laptops given to them are special, individually built and tested to extremes and are a higher grade than anyone else can buy. What, you really thought you were using the exact same kind of mobo, chassis and internal cabling as a NASA-ready laptop? Wow, you dumb, dumb fuck. Those things interact with the actual on-board systems. They need to be absolutely flawless because they're mission critical. Besides, IBM was the only company who knew how to make decent laptops and NASA just stuck with the line's familiarity, until 2015.
>>62027577
I thought that was only true of old Thinkpads. Are there reliable drivers for modern thinkpads?

>Are there reliable drivers for modern thinkpads?
Why would there not be ? They still use Intel and Nvidia Quadro where possible, and very common well-supported vendors for stuff like audio and trackpads.
It's not like Linux only runs on old hardware, anon. It has come a very long way in terms of driver support, the only way you'd really have any trouble is if you use some obscure Broadcom NIC or something.

>>62027675
There's no reason to buy a 9360 when, for the same price, you can get a 9350 with much better specs. The integrated graphics and processor upgrades make almost no difference at all.
I know you are preaching or telling people to buy the newer model, but I'm just saying it makes no sense.
>>62031251
not preaching*
>>62028549
Somehow/g/ recommend the XPS 13 over it, I don't know why
>>62031228
at least it has the dedicated trackpoint buttons. you don't use that clickpad that much anyways
>>62027599
same thing with ubuntu for my grandpa.
>>62031421
I like the idea of the Thinkpad clitoris but I prefer a normal touchpad with physical buttons below it. Like all laptops used to have until Apple fucked up and every laptop manufacturer just followed
>>62027599
as long as they don't need MS Word loonix is absolutely perfect
>>62031453
I get your point but aside from the fact that I don"t like touchpads in general, the Thinkpad touchpads have always been particularly shit.
> no comment
>>62031485
The recent ones before Lenovo switched to clickpads were breddy gud. before that they were pretty small but they weren't bad
Anyway it's probably subjective but I will always hate clickpads with a passion

anyone got a their hands on pic related?how's the build quality?
>>62031548
don't know any thing about the xps 13. in which way is it broken?
>>62031582
only uses 2 pcie lanes which makes it impossible to use it with most tunderbolt equipment, including Dells very own port extenders

What's the best Dell model for people who want long battery, great screen and no numpad? Is it just the XPS 13 or any of the thicker models? I don't think you can upgrade the battery to a larger one in that thing.
Do I need to buy a gaming laptop to game?
>>62033175
The first step here is to stop pretending laptops that thin are anything but a compromise. Technology isnt there yet. Maybe before 2020, but not yet.
Just go to the latitude wiki and do some research.

Yo I own the 940mx dual core one, build quality is top bumped into the walls a few times and it doesnt show, metal feels nice and build quality seems just below my gf's macbook. The screen is crystal clear and it charges to full in under an hour. Super happy with its portability however the keyboard gets pretty hot on cs:go plays mid to high 1080p at 60 fps so no complaints for the £500 it cost

No. Writing right now from a 2011 MacBook Air that still works like a champ. I wanted the extra portability and the lower price when I bought it 6 years ago. Getting a 12" MacBook soon, I've been wanting to get it since it was announced but now I've seen it discounted at a nearby store. No, I don't need an i7 to run emacs and a web browser, but that portability, that completely silent and fanless board and that 12" retina screen are going to be useful for me. Going to give my current MacBook Air to a family member and it will last for a couple of years more.
Different computers for different needs. You don't need to spend $1600 to get a decent Mac.
>>62035322
I guess I assumed OP was going to want to do decently hefty work on it. But I do agree with everything you said, to an extent. Guess I've just seen to many Macbooks and Mac's get recycled/not repaired while I'm still over here making full repairs to 2010, 2011, 2012 macbook Pros.
