Sure. But would you say your usage of a laptop is the typical use case? Using it as a permanent desktop?
If you were going to design a laptop from scratch for a market, would you optimize it for your example?
- justsomehnguy 2y ago> Sure. But would you say your usage of a laptop is the typical use case? Using it as a permanent desktop? Guess you never saw 15.6" laptops in your whole life. Like come on, my 14", 1.2kg is a thing what even I (185cm, 110kg) sometimes find exhausting to handle and I'm not always with it. If my work depended on it 24/7 I would go for 12" or even less. Yet vendors are constantly make those 15" or 17" 2-3kg monstruosities, mraning there is a demand for it. Try walking in their shoes, I guess?
- mvkel 2y agoI'm not sure what your point is. Big, heavy laptops are heavy, so they should be desktops? I've got great news: guess who makes the lightest laptops in the world? Know why they're so light? Vertical integration. As an aside, if carrying 1.2kg is "exhausting to handle," I'm not sure what will convince you of any point on this topic.
- justsomehnguy 2y agoI've got a great news for you: those who buys 17" laptops aren't interested in the "light and vertical integrated laptops". They need the screen estate, they need a lot of [upgradeable] storage, they need a discrete video card. Guess who doesn't make these? As an aside, go carry at least 1.2 for a full day and tell us back. Not your 'imma sit in starbucks and imitate cool hipster dev' but like a full day, especially commuting. Though I'm not sure anyone can convince you of any of the points you don't want to accept, because they contradict the only true way of yours. Even if the people directly say what they don't need your vertically integrated laptop.
