A decent 800$ Laptop?

just wondering is the Dell Inspiron i7559-2512BLK a good cheap Laptop it only 800$. Also dont bother saying "O JUST BUILD YOUR OWN PC PC MASTER RACE BLAH BLAH BLAH" I move around alot so I need something portable. Also I have all game consoles.

You strike me as someone who doesn't leave the house very often.

No, it doesn't have a clit mouse. Get a thinkpad.

It's a good laptop

If you're just doing your microsofts and such get a Macbook from earlier this decade.

>I move around alot so I need something portable.
buy a phone
it'll be cheaper and more capable than a laptop.

fuck off phoner

buy a refurbished 12" macbook
It's a little over budget, but well worth it

ITT everybody tells OP to buy refurbed macbooks and one guy says to just use a fucking phone.

Thinkpad.

Go to /tpg/ and read OP, I recommend the x220 or t520.

Don't listen to anyone else, been through your situation too OP

T240 is good

Well, he should buy a refurbished macbook, obviously.

Unless he is a gaymer, then all hope is lost either way.

Buy it cunt and install fedora

Sup Forums is not your personal recomendation site, please read the wiki, or use laptopscribes.com, or logicincrements.

Or just get the shit out of here, god

just buy an x220 with 1080p IPS

Why not both?

Does all 7559 laptops have IPS screen?

The last decent Thinkpas was the X220

>unless he is a gaymer
Is it cause video games do not relate to technology in any way, shape or form and should only be discussed in ?
Or is it cause you don't play video games and therefore everyone who does is a retarded piece of shit?
Nice superiority complex you got there, bud.

different user here. used to play vidya a lot until I got into technology
Now video games are at the end of the list of reasons why I buy a computer

Everyone who buys a laptop and considers its ability to play vidya as a relevant criteria is pretty close to retarded piece of shit.

Nothing wrong with some dumb waste of time here and there.

>thinks laptops can be good
>thinks laptops can be cheap
>thinks asking Sup Forums for advice is a good idea
how you haven't died from drinking bleach or inhaling mustard gas yet, is a miracle.

Friend of mine just bought one, looks well built, good screen and nice to touch BUT it weights like a small car and it has a standard HDD so it feels slow. I don't know about the cooling system but it looks OK
Keep in mind that the first one he ordered arrived dead so I don't know about the reliability.
If you need power go for one of these but if you need portability don't, go for 12.5/13.3 laptops

>More capable

Fun fact, just because you're a NEET who only uses their phone to watch porn on doesn't mean everybody else is

>asks for portability
>would rather carry a purse instead of something that easily fits in anyones pockets
user plz, i'd rather not inform you of how your idiotic beliefs are idiotic yet again. especially since you've shown a lack of reading comprehension and proven to have the memory equivalent to that of a goldfish.

i still love you though.

Yup, because needing to carry a phone, mouse, keyboard, a bunch of adapters and a monitor is more portable than just putting your laptop in your bag. We know.

should have mentioned you were an 80yo man

>needing a screen larger than your phone
you shouldn't be using some shitty low res 13inch laptop screen then.

>needing to carry a monitor with you
or you could already have one where you're going waiting for you..

>bunch of adaptors
bcus wireless tech doesn't exist right? or are you seriously comparing a fuckhuge brick and a small as fuck micro usb?

carrying a mouse/keyboard is a hell of a lot less to carry than a shitty monitor, a shitty sub par keyboard and a shitty trackpad.

oh look, i'm going around in circles again as we have the same arguement all over again

What the fuck are you faggots even arguing about?

laptops have a very small niche crowd that can actually make use of them.
reality is they're slow, over glorified tablets with a keyboard/mouse attached to them.

Since pretty much every other reply is shit, let me see if I can help you out..

I bought this model about 6 months ago. i7 6th gen, 8GB RAM, 1TB+8GB Hybrid drive, and GTX960M (4GB). Screen is 1920x1080 IPS Panel.

PROS

>Superfast, works pretty well and reliably in Windows 10.
>Well ventilated, works by sucking air from the bottom of the laptop and pushing it out the rear and the left side.
>Looks pretty good
>3 USB 3.0 ports, and one of the few powerful models with an ethernet RJ45 port
>VERY easy to upgrade RAM and add SSD, since the bottom panel comes out with literally just one screw
>Hoping you're not entirely anal about PCMR and the most highest topppes FPS and resolution, it runs Doom 2016 at 1280x720 at constant 70-80 FPS. You can try and run it at 1920x1080, but the FPS keeps dipping down to 40-50 which I don't like; I want smoothness over resolution
>GTA V 60fps at 1920x1080 like a dream

>Pretty nice speakers (I might be biased because my old laptop had really shitty speakers, and now these are more than a considerable improvement)

Now, the CONS

>Ubuntu doesn't shut down properly. I dual booted and almost everytime I shut down ubuntu, it gets stuck at the TTY and I have to press and hold power. Also, huge pain in the ass to install nvidia graphics on linux. Basically a terrible laptop if you want to run linux. Pretty reliable for windows
>fingerprint magnet: The rubber/plastic surface has a nice grip for your palms to rest on, but good god they get dirty easily
>The biggest downside to this laptop is the touhpad. Single panel, single button with a weird, unchangeable intertia to the cursor no matter which OS. Also, loud click. I bought a logitech wireless mouse which I switched to several months ago, but good god I hate the touchpad. It does work, especially well on Ubuntu with the touchegg package installed, where I set some custom gestures like three finger tap --> middle click, three finger drag --> drag. So it works as shown (1/2; cont)

Even a Core M laptop serves easy ALL of the needs for most computer users. What do you think does a normal person do that requires any faster hardware?

My cousin has that laptop and its great. I picked up a MSI 15.6" GL62 6QF-1446 during cyber monday for $640. Best laptop I ever owned.

>Even a smartphone from 2012 serves easy ALL of the needs for most computer users. What do you think does a normal person do that requires any faster hardware?
FTFY

laptops being ancient and shitty tech
phones being able to easily replace the old and shitty tech

>you shouldn't be using some shitty low res 13inch laptop screen then.
>1080p and 4k is "low res"

Ok, I should use a shitty low res 5 inch screen on my phone instead

>or you could already have one where you're going waiting for you..

Which I do, because, and I'm not sure if you know this but you can connect your laptop to a monitor. And what kind of high tech utopia do you live in where there's monitors literally everywhere you go? Do you have a monitor hooked up to your neural network?

>bcus wireless tech doesn't exist right?

Don't ask me, I'm just repeating your argument since you told me I need access to a TV when I want to be productive.

>carrying a mouse/keyboard is a hell of a lot less to carry than a shitty monitor, a shitty sub par keyboard and a shitty trackpad.

The keyboard itself is bigger than a laptop you dipshit

Maybe a current smartphone if we ignore the almost useless OS, but older ones were annoyingly slow. There is pretty much no difference between Core M or some crazy overclocked desktop i7 for normal tasks if both run with an SSD and only minimal difference when it comes to more tasking shit like casual Photoshop.

cont 2/2

CONS

>Kinda heavy at 2.7kg, so carrying it around, especially with one hand is a bit tedious
>(Not physically a con) The screen hinge feels like you could break it pretty easily. If you open and close from the sides it visibly bends a little which scares me every time, but I guess its more like one of those weighing machines made of glass where you feel unsure about stepping on top of it the first few times. So not a real problem, but feels like one

Now some neutral points

>Keyboard is pretty nice to type on. I feel opposite to the mech keyboard masterrace, I like shallow keys because I can type faster on them.
>Ports for MicroSD, HDMI on the side
>Backlit keyboard looks really nice and very responsive. You can change the function of the functionkeys with fn+esc. Also, this might be a pro for you, but there's a numpad in the keyboard
>CON: Sleep isn't reliable on linux. Like I said earlier, terrible for linux, amazing for windows

First time greentexting, as me any other questions you have about this model. I'm pretty happy with my purchase tbqh. REally love playing Doom on this thing, and it feels good having a model which can run most of the latest nice games on decent quality, if not maxed out

This guy is a mentally ill NEET who posts in every thread about laptops about how smartphones are superior to laptops because he never leaves his house and only uses his phone to watch porn on

I use my laptop daily for programming and text editing. Just because you don't need one doesn't mean no one does.

Sounds semi-insane. Why would you even argue with someone like that?

>1080p and 4k is "low res"
>Ok, I should use a shitty low res 5 inch screen on my phone instead
they've had 1080p on phones since 2013 and 4k for a couple years now..

>And what kind of high tech utopia do you live in where there's monitors literally everywhere you go?
like 98% of people in america have access to the internet, what do you think they're connecting to it on? some sort of neuralnetwork?

>Don't ask me, I'm just repeating your argument since you told me I need access to a TV when I want to be productive.
do you even into reading comprehension user?
no where in our current or previous arguements did i state a t.v requirement. you're the only one claiming phone screens aren't big enough for your ass. fkn size queen.

>The keyboard itself is bigger than a laptop you dipshit
LOL.
FYI their are keyboards which can rollup and fit in a jacket pocket, also apple makes some incredibly tiny keyboards.. fucking size queen.

>casual photoshop
first gen iphones did this shit easily, and the OG note does it danm near perfectly. it's been about half a decade since it's release, you bet your ass they've improved.

there's a niche market for sure. but it's dwindling. if you were smart you'd realize you only need to spend a few hundred burgerbucks on a nice little phone and maybe some peripherals, rather than a new machine for each individual task.

same reason i'm argueing with someone who has the brain of a goldfish. boredom and it's a nice ego boost being able to call people out on their blatant stupidity.

>you bet your ass they've improved
The hardware sure did, the software is still limited piece of shit not even viable for casual use.

said by the same idiot who claims you only need a $3000 laptop to run as a gaymen machine rather than an affordable and non sperm destroying desktop.

anything demanding can easily be done via cloud/remote desktop apps anyway.

If you have to, usually yes. But it makes you dependent on constant Internet connection and costs fuckloads.

Also how does this deal with small screen issue and lack of actual input? Even if you find ways around it, it's going to be a lot less comfortable and a lot more expensive in the long run.

You mean x230/t430 with classic keyboards

>said by the same idiot who claims you only need a $3000 laptop to run as a gaymen machine rather than an affordable and non sperm destroying desktop.

You're aware that you're posting this in a thread about a gaming laptop for $800, right? I know you're illiterate but you can at least try

>they've had 1080p on phones since 2013 and 4k for a couple years now..

And? You're the one who said it's low res.

>like 98% of people in america have access to the internet, what do you think they're connecting to it on? some sort of neuralnetwork?

The fuck are you talking about? What does the internet have to do with monitors? You're telling me that I need to have a monitor everywhere I plan to go, which means I need a monitor in every single public place I plan on visit.

valid points. yet bluetooth and dongles exist, allowing input of professional tools.
did you see CES? they have full sized 4k tvs which weigh less than phones and can fold. ultra low power since it's oled too.

once those are affordable and hit the market, there really will be no excuse for having a laptop. these t.vs use simple magnets to mount on walls lmao

That's more a solution for home to make desktops obsolete. Laptops got another niche, since they allow you to work basically everywhere, and even something like a screen you can fold and a bluetooth keyboard isn't as comfy as a device you can use from you lap (something no cover was able to reproduce yet). Tablets failed at that already (considering the sale figures as an objective criteria)

>once those are affordable
Will still take a good fucking while. Besides it's the cloud shit that is the real drain on the money and a constant one. Due the comfort, I really doubt laptops are going anywhere. Desktops might really die out for most people in 3-5 years though.

>What does the internet have to do with monitors?
nothing, since all you need is that neural network you brought up, to connect to it. it's this magical thing you can instantly access just by closing your eyes. why would anyone think you need anything else to access the internet? how absurd..

>You're telling me that I need to have a monitor everywhere I plan to go
don't put words in my mouth you faggot. since you're clearly stupid, let me clearify what i'm saying: you already have a high res screen everywhere you go if you have a recently released smartphone in your pocket, and that's all you need rather than carrying around a stupid fkn purse and a slow laptop.

your mobile cpu, and your mobile gpu aren't going to run the latest games at playable frame rates. if you want to shitpost from starbucks be my guest. but it's easier and cheaper to just use your phone to do so.

>Tablets failed at that already
they never really were given a chance considering the gimped OS they're released with. the new lineups look promising considering full win10 support and whatnot.

you should never use a laptop on your actual lap for more than a few minutes user, unless you're a girl (which you aren't cause they don't exist on the internet). or you somehow managed to find a laptop which produces no heat.

>Desktops might really die out for most people in 3-5 years though.
if people start docking phones to t.vs/monitors more i see this as a real possibility. esp since the market has become so stagnant that shitty laptops are confusing idiots that they're as powerful as desktops now.

i still fail to see how carrying a computer screen, keyboard+trackpad, fuckhuge battery, fuckhuge power brick, is viewed as comfortable by anyone.

>don't put words in my mouth you faggot

Your own words are "you shouldn't be using some shitty low res 13inch laptop screen then." and "or you could already have one where you're going waiting for you..". Since I need a screen bigger than 5 inches then that means you're telling me I need to have a monitor everywhere I go.

>and that's all you need

Okay, I'll go through it slowly. You're a NEET, and I'm not. I need to be productive, which I can't be on a 5 inch screen on a smartphone. Just because you're a NEET who only use your phone for shitposting doesn't mean everybody else is. Do you understand?

got my brother one of these because he was still using a 2005 laptop with Vista
he seems happy with it so far

>the new lineups look promising considering full win10 support and whatnot.
On the software side. The lap-ability is still a pain. Only a design similar to SurfaceBook could go around that ... making it pretty much a laptop with a detachable screen either way.

>or you somehow managed to find a laptop which produces no heat
Pretty much every decent laptop stays close to body temperature, reaching 40° max at medium - heavy workloads.
Also lap can be "close to knees", it's not like you have to hold it with your dick.

>keyboard+trackpad, fuckhuge battery, fuckhuge power brick
That would be old cumpads or gaymer laptops. The average one weights 1.4kg with some going as low as 900g, lasting a workday so no need for a power brick and it's not like a tablet solution with keyboard would be noticeable less.

>Since I need a screen bigger than 5 inches
SIZE QUEEN.

stop taking what i say out of context. it just shows you really have no valid points to argue.

if you work at a building you spend most of your time working, but still need to bring work with you elsewhere. leaving a monitor you can dock your workstation to get actual work done on (and isn't a worthless tiny low power piece of shit monitor which most laptops use) makes far more sense ergonomically and economically as a good laptop screen will surely cost far more without any real benefit over the proposed alternative.

>I need to be productive, which I can't be on a 5 inch screen on a smartphone
a 5inch phone at 1080p has just as many pixels and screen real estate as a 20 inch 1080p screen, or a 50inch screen.

a real arguement for needing a laptop would be something like SSDs for access times and far greater storage space as opposed to rellying on internet and sd cards.
instead you want to argue over bullshit like screen size and resolution... kinda shows that you're just a butthurt fanboy who doesn't actually use his laptop for anything of actual value.

>if you work at a building you spend most of your time working, but still need to bring work with you elsewhere. leaving a monitor you can dock your workstation to get actual work done on (and isn't a worthless tiny low power piece of shit monitor which most laptops use) makes far more sense ergonomically and economically as a good laptop screen will surely cost far more without any real benefit over the proposed alternative.

Yup. And what do I do then when I'm neither at work or at home? How is a 5 inch screen at 1080p better than a 13 inch screen at 1080p?

>a real arguement for needing a laptop would be something like SSDs for access times and far greater storage space as opposed to rellying on internet and sd cards.

Why would access times and storage space be more important than screen size and resolution for photography, video, Photoshop, DAWs and office work? I know you're a NEET, but think for one second.

>How is a 5 inch screen at 1080p better than a 13 inch screen at 1080p?
by not requiring a purse, powerbrick, fuckhuge battery, fullsized keyboard to do the same thing? a rolled up bluetooth keyboard +phone gives far greater portability.

>Why would access times and storage space be more important than screen size and resolution for photography, video, Photoshop, DAWs and office work?
having to ask this proves you do none of these things.

not to mention the fact that phones have greater resolutions than laptops at this point. but you don't like it because it's 5 inches instead of 13... you filthy fucking size queen. 13inches is fucking nothing and you'd have to be an idiot to think you can achieve more off a tablet sized screen at a lower res than a more portable higher res yet smaller sized screen.

Get that razer blade stealth. Seems to have decent specs. If you're not super autist and don't care that Sup Forums will laugh at you for gaymen shit then it's fine.

If you don't game then I suggest the zenbook ux303. Good battery life, fast charging.

Just get a cheap HP with clit buttons

ThinkPad X62 mod. $750.

>assembled by a chink in his basement

I have the thinkpad yoga 14. I enjoy it.
