So I'll kick this off by saying yes. I have a gaming desktop I built, a 2016 MBP spec'ed out I use for work (video editing), and down the line tablets/phone. My wife needs something for work processing, Skype, and the internet. I got her a $400-$500 Dell Inspiron laptop a few years ago (I think it's Pentium 4 lol) You can swap batteries, they're solid machines. Basically just a little more than a Chromebook and a little less than a 2in1, which will be her next one as she loves the touch screen.
Love to hear what everyone else is using/thinking as well.
- bananicorn 9y agoIt didn't even come to my mind that people who are not developers could want anything other than a tablet or a phone nowadays do you think the longer battery life would be worth the bigger form-factor for people? (I kinda get mixed signals from people whenever I ask, so I'm not sure at all)
- The_DaveG 9y agoYeah, I only hang out with developers, engineers, and designers, most of whom game so it's all pretty much top of the line. I think it would because everyone wants the options to run all day not plugged in, even if they don't. As a business guy, I've got to think that the big companies wouldn't make these if they weren't big sellers? Also while and iPad or surface can do what we need, most other people wouldn't feel the difference. I think it might be more of a psychological reason that they think they need a laptop? Haven't really done any market research, so just a guess. Wonder if anyone else who reads this has a spouse/SO that does something non-technical...
