i wrote too many words about a crap gambling game
i am fully open to recommendations at this point before i lose my mind. i'm looking for something 15-16 inches that weighs less than 2kg and has decent enough specs, good screen and good sound
i doubt i'll do much gaming on it so it doesnt need a banger gpu but i want it to be good for everything else & be reasonably future proof
also most retailers filtering options are shit and useless. sometimes they don't work at all. often they filter out products that actually do match your criteria but the specs weren't entered properly.
and sometimes you get stuff like this. how in the hell is 8"-15.6" a useful category for anything
ok the main conclusion i have reached after much research is that all laptops suck ass in one way or another totally unrelated to the headline specs
too heavy? fan too loud? speakers bad? runs too hot? pick one, or maybe two, or three
i really wish retailers had a "filter by weight" option for these things. it's just as important for me as anything else tbh. i want my portable computer to be portable
I want one with 32GB of RAM and not have to pay a million billion pounds for it and also not have it be some gaming behemoth that weighs more than a full grown adult. is that too much to ask
MSI has these new ones that seem relatively good value for the specs they have but they're branded as "AI Studio" and come with all kinds of preloaded "AI" bollocks which is just putting me right off from the start
the first stream of 2024 approaches! like a runaway nacho truck--wait no we're not doing that again. AHEM
the first stream of 2024 is Wednesday, January 3 @ 4 PM PST! that's tomorrow as of this writing! and it's gonna be a 500 Coin Special, which means i run a bunch of raffles and winners get to tell me what to play! i have the entire N64 library loaded onto my MiSTer, too, which means N64 stuff is on the table again. hot diggety dingbats!!
let's ring in the new year in true chaos gremlin style!!
