Below 2kg 15" laptop with a 1060 6GB? Hot damn impressive.
- dagw 9y agoIf only it had come with a 32GB of RAM option then this would be my dream laptop.
- chx 9y agoIt's easier for me: the ThinkPad 25 was the only laptop I could purchase since 2012 so I did. Dream or no dream, there's no choice. And while I don't have an 1050 even (pity!) I do have 32GB and TB3. And, of course, I have my keyboard.
- lwansbrough 9y agoCheck this guy out, trying to run Slack AND Atom.
- dingo_bat 9y agoHey what about Chrome? I usually need another whole machine to run it properly.
- josteink 9y agoMy laptop runs fine for development and all I need on 8GB. 16GB would be a waste. What are you guys doing making you need 32?
- dagw 9y agoI do a lot of 'small data' analysis. Being able to simply load my datasets into R or Python and start playing around with them is very important. Even if my initial data set is only ~4-5 GB in memory I can quickly end up with 4 or 5 different copies in memory when testing different approaches. Obviously I can work around memory limitation by using on-disk data structures, avoiding copying data and being careful with only keeping the most important data in memory, but the less I have to think about that sort of stuff the faster and easier it is to work.
- stonith 9y agoMight be making games. UE4 for example can eat up quite a lot of memory when doing things like building lighting and whatnot.
- chx 9y agoLet me add: what are you guys doing that requires 32GB off line? For 34 USD a month you can rent an i7 4770 w/ 32GB RAM, for 64 USD an i7 3930 w/ 64GB.
