It’d take these very objective things:
- 7+ hour battery life while running a bunch of Docker containers and IDEs, at the same screen brightness nits I run my MacBook at.
- Those things run not-perceptively-slower than on my Apple hardware
- No perceptible fan noise while doing the above
- The chassis does not creak when I pick it up from one corner
- Does not weigh more than double my MacBook
I’ll even relax the trackpad requirement and allow a 60Hz HiDPI screen instead of the 120Hz screen my MacBook from four years ago drives while doing all of the above.
Is there anything that can check those boxes?
- worthless-trash 1y agoThis is a much more definable list, no feels there. (I don't know.. as am not hunting for a similar option, although I probably will be in the future). > - The chassis does not creak when I pick it up from one corner This would be an INSTANT 'nope' from me.
- rogerrogerr 1y agoEvery Fortune 500 company I’ve worked for (three so far) has sent me a Windows “dev machine” laptop with huge RAM and an i7-whatever processor… and they all creak if you pick them up from a corner. And the screen hinges all make weird sounds. It’s not, like, a usability concern, but it’s something I’m definitely willing to fork over a couple hundred bucks to not feel every day.
