I work with a Lenovo P70 with 64GB of RAM, a quadro M3000 GPU and a 4K monitor plus 2 external monitor ports (HDMI and display port)
I did not choose it, they gave it to me at work, but it's definitely a workstation
It's not a lightweight laptop, but it's a laptop nonetheless
- theshrike79 6y ago"Mobile workstation" needs to be an official category. You know. The "laptops" that work about 1 hour, maybe 2 on battery power and require a power brick the size of a VHS cassette to operate.
- eyelidlessness 6y agoAh but according to the Official Category Consortium you’ve just eliminated several products[1] which would presumably be included if the “mobile workstation” moniker was designated based on workload capabilities. [1]: including the 16” MBP, but certainly not limited to it
- romanoderoma 6y agoLaptop used to be a form factor (it fits on your lap) while very light, very small laptops, were in the notebook and subnotebook (or ultra portable) category. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnotebook https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnotebook P.s. in Italian they are usually referred to as "portatili" (portable) from the 80s portable computers, even though they were not laptops
- wtallis 6y agoI usually think of "subnotebook" as implying the keyboard is undersized; a thin and light machine that is still wide enough for a standard keyboard layout is something else. I think we should bring back the term "luggable" for those mobile workstations and gaming notebooks that are hot, heavy, have 2hr or less of battery life.
