Of the things I own, the ones that appeal to the fewest people are the things I like the most. Sure, not everyone wants a laptop that's over an inch thick, but I love having five USB ports and two card slots.
- grishka 4y agoIf only someone made an Android phone with a 4" screen and actual bezels... It won't be very "niche" either, I know many people who, like myself, would really like one.
- thefz 4y agoAnd a large battery, and an sdcard reader, and a 3.5mm jack. Yesh, we found out why being strongly opinionated does not work most of the times.
- kaetemi 4y agoNot even a large battery. Just standard replaceable batteries that don't have mysterious risks of exploding.
- grishka 4y agoI basically want an HTC Desire S with a modern SoC (i.e. one that came out in the last 5 years) and a non-potato camera. That's all. The thing is reasonably sized, has a kinda genius sliding battery cover, and is so sturdy that whenever I dropped it I was worried about the floor more than about the phone.
- causality0 4y agoI want a phone with a screen that slides up to reveal game controls, aka a modern Xperia Play.
- LAC-Tech 4y agoJudging by all the comments I read on HN complaining about how "heavy" laptops are, you must be completely shredded and have trouble fitting through doorways.
- alkonaut 4y agoI regularly complain about how thin and light (and thus noisy, slow, and lacking ports) laptops are. I drag my laptop to the office around once per year, I don't really care whether it weighs 3x as much but if it was silent that would be terrific.
- causality0 4y agoI take it you've played with custom fan curves to minimize unnecessary fan noise?
- alkonaut 4y agoNo. But it isn't nearly cool enough even with fans on max, so I'd rather have a cooler but more noisy one tbh.
- causality0 4y agoSounds like you need to repaste it or set your TDP lower.
- alkonaut 4y agoNo there is literally (as far as I'm aware) no high power (45W) workstation laptops that don't throttle under just a while of high load. At least not from the major manufacturers I have to choose from (Dell precisions, Lenovo P series, ...). If you run a compile job or rendering job then after a while they throttle down as the temps go up. All I want is a laptop that properly replaces a desktop. One that says in the brochure that "We tested it flat out for 30 days straight and it never throttled once".
