Wait, what, lol? As someone having been looking for laptops quite a few times in the past few years, I find it ridiculous how hard it is to find something with a) the exact hardware you want/need and b) not having a super shitty case/design. It's bizarre! You'd think you go to a website, pick a CPU, RAM, GPU, harddisk, screen and case. Hey, maybe you have to pay $100 extra for someone screwing that shit together in half an hour, I'd do that!
- michaelmrose 9y agoI'm still waiting for swappable gpu wherein a) you can actually buy the gpu and b) future generations support the same standards without different cooling and power requirements
- Godel_unicode 9y agoWhy not ask for 20 hour battery life while gaming in a lighter chassis? If we're playing the "design a device with no thought to the physical realities" game, let's get creative! Although on a more serious note, you can have this today as long as thunderbolt is okay.
- michaelmrose 9y agoI owned a computer with this about 9 years ago in theory. In reality it was only within a small range of gpu wherein price wise it made little sense to go with anything but the best of I think 2 or 3 possibilities. Unfortunately while you could select from multiple options at purchase you couldn't actually buy even those options after the fact so nobody could have upgraded after the fact. Future editions had different thermal characteristics and didn't fit. I heard anecdotal evidence that at least some had physically modified the heat sink and made a original generation + 1 gpu work but couldn't confirm and I have no idea where they were supposed to have actually bought such a thing. I will have to check out what is being done with external gpu recently it certainly seemed like an interesting idea.
