Unless you are Sup Forums, give me 3 reasons to have laptops with more than 128GiB of storage?
Common bullcrap that won't get (you)s:
>Muh porns
>Muh music
>Muh photos
>Muh torrents
That's what (home) servers are for
>Muh VM
>VM in a laptop
>What is VM server
>Muh Network lag
>Streaming 4k Video in a 15'' laptop
All the stuff you imply should be on a server available with no network connection.
Well that was easy.
The fastest drive on the market happens to have a capacity of over 128 GiB
>No network connection
Where, you seem to have one
Even normans use 200 GB just on Facebook memes, poorly compressed samshit videos and le fanny minion shit, step it the fuck up macfag
And for everyone else, anime.
Go to bed Jordan
Some I can quad boot quickly
Shit you don't even need 128GB if you setup VDI
PXE boot
>Not buying a 512 GB SSD for your laptop
are you aware that laptops sometimes go outside your basement
job application files? stuff like CAD, Maya, Adobe suits and others use a nice chunk of memory per project you know? "but thatz why home survurdurrr"
sources for stuff can also be horribly big but much needed on a project, imagine having to manage that plus your whatever lingos and entertainment applications you have
plus installations and whatever ammount your system commit would use (it's like 10 gib at most but it counts)
the again i'll just assume you're a facebook browsing shitfuck that believes applel invented the wheel
Obviously I have one right now. I'm also on my desktop.
I go places.
And?
>Application files
>>>~/Seafile/Documents/
> stuff like CAD, Maya, Adobe suits
> on a laptop
Nice one
>plus installations and whatever ammount your system commit would use (it's like 10 gib at most but it counts)
Space left: 100GiB
If I wanted to break my modem or Router I would just smash them with a hammer.
Do you even use your laptop for anything other than shitposting? Might as well get a Chromebook.
>movies
>videos
>facebook memes
>malware viruses
>installing every program with the default "maximum" settings
>Having multiple of the same file (multiple downloaders, images, etc)
In all honesty anyone that knows even a little about tech and isn't playing games won't need more than 120gb, maybe 250 max if they actually need a lot of storage for their work/school.
It's usually just normies that bloat up their system.
Nope, I do use laptop for tasks such as document handling, reports, browsing and researching, taking notes etc.
CAD tasks/ video rendering belong to desktops
>Nice one
we aren't on 1987 grandpa, computers are portable now you know?
>Space left: 100GiB
i'm still holding firmly that you're a facebuck shitfuck so listen to and stop comming here trying to "be smart"
>computers are portable now you know?
No serious computation happens in laptop, Sup Forums spillage. Yes, the gaming doesn't count.
Resource intensive tasks are for desktops. Fuck off and come back when you are above 18
this just shows how retarded you are, end of thread
>Runs out of argument
>Lol u retarded XD
>/thread X-DD
get out
If my laptop can do it I might as well do it there, maybe not CAD but video rendering is not intensive enough in standard resolutions to consider too tall an order for a laptop.
Besides normies don't wanna have 4 PCs between their home and their office.
aaawww are you angry you were called names on the internet? how about you leave so that you dont end up crying champ?
AFAIK professionals render videos in dedicated Desktops and they don't even use it for any other use. I'm not working on the same field though. One of my friends is a graphics designer. His studio has some powerful computers, and most of them don't have monitors
Memes and music and assignments for school
@55942190
you do realize it's my thread, don't you? Retarded Sup Forumsirgin
I have a 25gb Vm for Windows 7, a 16gb Vm for bsd, and another 25gb vm for arch.
I store my cellphone backups, music (46gb) anime (356gb) images (130gb) documents (excel sheets, some documents with code, text files for links) and web archives.
I also work with high quality images (incoming autism) as I edit anime images for wallpapers, and upscale everything to 2k so it fits nicely. My pape folder is roughly 12gb
Besides that, I have programs installed (Firefox, Baka m player, speccy, crystal disk (ultimate version, 200~mb) medibang, Kirta) to name a few.
I also keep some movies in the chance my internet goes out, only 6, that folder is 87gb
And then there's my massive dōjin collection (95~gb)
Just with my VMs alone 128gb is a paltry amount of space considering that 64-but Windows asks for 25gb to install.
>@
I guess it depends, I know a couple of people who work on graphic design and the usual thing you hear around them is that it's an industry full of retards who buy the "apple ram is better" and such memes. I know the MacBook pro and even the Macbook air are used for video editing and rendering by a lot of people.
Also if you are gonna use it for serious office work you are going to fill up a 120GB storage fairly quickly. Even if every individual document or excel/powerpoint is not that heavy on it's own.
>I have a 25gb Vm for Windows 7, a 16gb Vm for bsd, and another 25gb vm for arch.
Same here but the volumes are different. You don't have to have your pepe folder physically mounted, fellow user
That's the new meme, for when you don't want to give away (You)s
Sorry user I'm not even at home.
>tfw shitposting from nighttime security guard shack.
>Every argument in agreement with OP is "you should willingly reduce convenience by introducing unnecessary steps/expenses to your routine of handling programs and files for no reason whatsoever"
It took me too long to realize this is all bait.
>Meme
Kill yourself
those are render farms, they are set up to do rendering, they have no need to be portable
>and most of them don't have monitors
all are interconnected to one or multiple interfaces since they have to work together to do the job
But that a studio has a render farm doesn't prove you're right, some long projects would need that render farm to finish as fast as possible a project but that doesn't mean you can't work on the project from a laptop, some people have to move from various places and having a desktop computer isnt viable so they work on above average powered laptops, stuff like CAD, Maya and other graphic-tools can work on a laptop just as well as a desktop
Because im too poor for a desktop an use a laptop with msata ssd and 2 1tb hard drives, serves my needs right for the moment.
>implying I need a server for that
Im not a hoarder, faggot.
>stuff like CAD, Maya and other graphic-tools can work on a laptop just as well as a desktop
You mean prototyping? Do you think they will be as monolithic? The idea of portable is to slice small pieces, test it and put it back into the main project. At least that's how programmers work
>give me 3 reasons
>but not those reasons, those ones don't count
What reasons?
All the stuff OP thinks are only worth keeping in a server for some retarded reason.
Why do you need your primary hard drive to store those? Let's be honest here
Why do I need a server to store those? Let's be honest here
I mean, for one thing you are assuming I have more than 1 computer.
Second of all, latency can be a big issue if you are not storing big files locally, watching 1080p over an unstable wireless connection can be an infuriating experience. If you happen to store high quality music, that high quality might go to shit.
If you have other people on your house, like family or such, the problem becomes even worst.
you do realise how "laptops" refer to many types of movable systems right? that's why notebooks, ultrabooks, mini-notebooks and tablets exist, they are what is considered portable these days, they can manage general tasks like word processing, entertainment and web browsing, that it's a laptop doesn't mean it has to be super cut-down in power, i believe you are being very close minded about technology and i suggest you research more before comming here and calling names to whomever isn't with you
1. Reduces data redundancy
Having a centralised storage means your music, documents, movies, torrents are available in your local network without duplication (song or photo duplication). You can post the meme you saved from your laptop/phone
2. Backup
Since your files are kept in your home server there are no possibility that your files are fucked if your system breaks
3. Portability
You can literally torrent in your homeserver and channel the stream to your TV
4. Cost effectiveness
Buy a 4TB storage and you don't have to waste money on SSDs, SDHC cards or HDDs too much
The network lag is due to wireless card issue and I/O speed. Gigabit internet cards should be able to provide you with at least 5-6 Mbps (which is what I get) and works fine
I have a hoarding problem
Be practical. Laptops don't have enough battery time to carry out long, heavy tasks
So I don't have to set up a home server, duh. I'm lazy.
that doesn't prove anything, if you have to travel a lot or don't really have the space to fancy a big computer or just prefer the ready2go perk having a desktop isn't a choice
You are right, battery life won't do for those kinds of tasks but you just go to a plug and charge it while you do them, easy "then if you are going to be there with your system connected why don't have a desktop?" because as i've said now tons of times, people travel but they aren't moving all the time, ome don't have much space so a laptop is good, some people prefer to have their systems with them most of the time for convenience but they don't use it all the time.
it's like if i told you: well, you aren't in your chair all the time, you have to go out and do tons of stuff so why have a desktop?
>if you have to travel a lot or don't really have the space to fancy a big computer or just prefer the ready2go perk having a desktop isn't a choice
True, but you don't really CAD in the traffic do you?
you don't do shit in the traffic wtf? you don't use a laptop in the traffic, you use at max a phone which is already irresponsible if you're a driver, you can CAD on your coffee break, in an airport, hell even in the plane, you can CAD when you don't have to move soon
If you are using a laptop you more often than not have to do with what they have, and at that point you are limiting your options, even if not by a huge marging, your laptop, or the one you want might not have a fast enough wifi for that. And if you don't have a router capable of handling a lot of connections at once, even the usual household with about 4-6 people in it might struggle with huge files.
You might in a hotel.
>you don't do shit in the traffic wtf?
No because I'd be busy driving the fucking car?
Because there's literally no reason to have a 128 gb drive instead of more
I do research science. It's really easy to use lots of memory when doing simulations and saving results.
>True, but you don't really CAD in the traffic do you?
then what is this you said?
im already tired trying to explain to you, guess that i falled in your bait, nice trolling user
I've been living in a hotel for 3 weeks. I can tell you I wish my hard disk was bigger than 90GB (ssd) also hotel wifi sucks
And I told you why your solution doesn't really eliminate the problem.
Besides the thing about too many people on the same network at once is not something you can solve on the computer end, you'd need a good modem or router for that.
>yfw I wrote a simple script to make @ work as >> does
I said I would not do CAD in traffic. If I did that'd be a prototype, that's not even important and actual CAD tasks takes place in desktops. Laptops doesn't have enough batteries and "plug in a charger" is not reliable
>Going out
>Not taking a portable HDD to watch shows
What are you doing?
at first it was supposed to be only for a week and each time it's getting extended.
Storage is cheap, so why not? Also, since you mention 128gb, I'm assuming you are saying the drive should be an SSD. In that case, the current bang for your buck mainstream SSDs are all 256gb, so deal with it.
why are you changing topic? your supposed "problem" was that laptops don't need to have more than 130 gibs, many people including me already gave you reasons why but you just bring in more excuses of why "we are wrong and you are totally right"
transporting a desktop computer: monitor, cables, regulator, mouse+keyboard and other periferals isn't any better
what if you have more gibs of memory?has a nice way of thinking, it's not going to burn the computer nor cause a disadvantage, hell if you end up not using it all just take out the drive and use it externally or in any other way you want when the computer stops working, some people do use more than 128 gibs as they've told you here
So stop being so arrogant and accept that not all you think is correct ,im not correct either, nobody is because nobody really has a concrete answer
You lost track who are you replying to
I'm not OP my dood.
retard fuck
Fuck off idiot
then stop throwing more wood into the fire
@55942891
I'm lazy, give me it
I actually have well over 128 gigabytes of numbers stored on my work laptop
No ;)

My SSD is just 128 and I have tons of shit installed, just no games and no stored media.
What did you install?
If you use windows 10 it will eat all that space pretty quickly
you're a very dumb person
put it to better use cutie pie
Laptops today usually come with a hard drive with a capacity much higher than 128gb. Just get an SSD of that size or smaller and you get the luxury of an SSD with the practical use of the hdd that the laptop already comes with.
I think I missinterpreted your response about servers as you defending OP's argument.
Businessmen and engineers need robust, reliable, usable on the spot machines and don't have time for unnecessary NEET bullshit. And are also aware that servers are for serving multiple people and not one person who has ample time and no friends.
this guy can't into personal finance, so everything other people use to get work done instead of fucking around with bullshit that they already know about, but can't be fucked to configure are "stupid" according to this jealous low life
You do know what the fuck you are talking about, do you dumbshit mouth breather?
movies stupidfag
Fucking retard what the fuck is kodi
Muh anime
i don't have a server.
So every time some poorfag can't afford bigger storage, or more RAM or an upgrade, we're going to get one of these petty, embarrassing chucklefuck threads of some deranged idiot trying to make himself feel better.
I seriously hate every single one of you and hope you die screaming.
Poorfag here.
I wish I could afford to built my own server for neet hoards.
I absolutely do, rest assured, pauper.
Do you realise how far society has come? You should be ashamed of yourself for not having the funds to purchase a good computer in the modern age.
Weighing the time it takes to select a computer from a of quality built line, or from a sea of mediocrity that will fall apart after only a few years or less, it is the objectively right choice to go with quality over a low barrier to entry investment.
A machine made of aluminum is of better durability and feels better to the touch than one made of plastic composite, which also include harmful substances, not even mentioning their high susceptibility to gouges and scratches.
A screen that is not even of such a calibre that it leaves jagged pixel edges obvious to the eye is beneath consideration for anyone who values their time spent using a computer.
Wow hahahahaha fucking dumb fag do you even know how to read
Take your crap pasta to Sup Forums
>Can't afford a server
>Calls other poor
No wonder you are an insignificant NEET
OP is a massive faggot, and here is why:
Laptops are for mobile computing. That is, when I'm not at home, work, or wherever else I often am.
It looks like OP uses a laptop at home, which is quite the masochistic experience.
I take my laptop when I'm travelling, and as such I take a sizable collection of entertainment with me. That's pretty much it.
>using a home server for no reason
>home server.
You sad fucking autistic wanker, I suggest you find the nearest massage parlour and ask for a happy ending, Itll do you good
>gets a home server instead of a larger SSD for 20 bux more
LMAO
video rendering
>implying OP uses his laptop for anything productive and not just Redshit and Facecuck
To me they are just portable computers that can be moved around the flat. That's why i've got an alienware machine for example.
SSD wears out with writes.
Having a greater capacity disk will increase lifespan as bad sectors are relocated
