- blagie 6y agoThe problem is lack of standardization. My desktop is decked out the way I like. That's different from how you'd like. I'd obviously buy a high-quality high-res reflective display for my laptop. I wouldn't swap out the rest of my laptop for a random laptop with a high-quality high-res reflective display. But you can't just swap laptop components, except for sometimes SSD, RAM, and wifi card. If there were an industry-standard 13" and 15" laptop form factor with swapable components like a desktop, there would be a market for eInk displays and other oddballs. You could stick them in your HP, and Ivanka could stick it in her Lenovo. I'd buy a: * Keyboard with eraser dongle * Overbuild, rugged case (think ToughBook). I don't mind the weight. * Motherboard with two M.2 slots (for RAID), ECC memory, and lots of ports * High-res outdoor readable display * High-quality microphone and camera (I don't care about speakers) And stick it all together. I'd never buy a Toughbook as-is, since the display doesn't have enough resolution. I don't like a lot of the workstation/gaming style laptops either, mostly since they use a ton of power, which leads to fan noise, heat, and other annoyances. At the end of the day, without being able to customize, the thinner laptop with shitty keyboard seems to be what I want.
