What would be your ideal laptop?

>tfw no BRRAPPPtop

T60 with modern internals. Don't fucking change anything else. Just update the guts.

>no music cassette deck
would not buy

T420 with IPS screen

literally perfection

None, they all fucking blow. A surface pro tablet pc is much better.

4:3 matte ips screen
battery that lasts at least 30 hours
nipple mouse
ibm thinkpad keyboard
cd/floppy combo drive
either a good trackpad or none at all
no webcam
no mic
ethernet
firewire
multiple usb ports

T420 with modern internals and an IPS 16:10 screen.

Keep the big 9-cell battery so a modern more power efficient processor will increase the battery life too.

Dell XPS 15 9560 with the FHD display and 97Whr battery.

This, only I'd pick my T500

Wow that is some radical thinkpad dock station!

Perfection exists

>modern more power efficient processor
This doesn't happen though. ULVs are the equivalent of M chips, but there's no such thing as a ULV quad core and we STILL haven't been able to decrease quad core chips to below 35W without mutilating them.

Silent cooling, RX 480, and Ryzen 5 1400 fitting comfortably in an X200t shell with a 1080p 144hz Free-Sync screen and updated ports (tb3, HDMI/dp, etc).

modern, libreboot, good keyboard

I see your running BAIT.

That new 15 inch ultrabook with a GTX 1080 that Acer just announced looks pretty sweet.
Or an Asus Zenbook 3 for something smaller and more utilitarian.

Surface Pro 4 with a floppy port, a disc port, fifty USB ports, a toaster oven, a griddle, six DVI ports, no HDMI ports, a thirty pound battery dock with a built-in Scarlet interface, and a small compartment for weed/pills.

x220 IPS screen 8gb ram dual 250gb SSDs for loonux and wangdoze
mfw i own that exactly and never use it

Forgot the swiss army knife corners and kitchen sink.

Thinkpads past the *400 generation a fucking memes
The chinks completely killed off the build quality.
My freinds 2016 xps 13 feels much better than my x201.

Not to mention how he can play a lot of games on med/low and is fine with most demanding software, meanwhilr I can't even have a shader running in retroarch.
Another garbage Sup Forums meme. And yes, both were running linux. Arch on thr x201, fedora on the xps

Runs OS X 10.6.8 with updated hardware. Perfect track pad and keyboard. Not too thin. Basically my 8 year old MBP with modern specs.

13" 2015 rMBP desu

I've got the 15". I love it but if we're being totally unrealistic here I'd like for it to have better cooling and a gtx 1080.

You use VHS for supreme audio.

Surface Book with the latest specs and a 360 degree hinge like on the Spectre x360 instead of the removable screen crap. 3:2 should be the standard aspect ratio on every laptop and tablet, I really hope more people than just Microsoft and the Samsung Chromebook Plus starts using it soon. 16:9 is the worst fucking aspect ratio on laptops, even Apple have some sense and use 16:10 but it's still inferior to 3:2

a precision 7510 with an optical drive. don't care if it would make it slightly heavier and thicker. or one of the later 17 inch apple powerbook models but modded out to have space for two drives and usb 3 or c ports.

8gb of RAM, works with Linux. Not hard to please me

You almost described a ThinkPad t450>. An almost borderless 14,5" 16:9 would be perfect. And, instead of OLED, that new thing that is work in progress. I'd add a version of this for like 100$ more or so that is more T H I C C but has an air cooled CPU and a discrete (rx 460, gtx 1050) gpu so it could launch 3D programs very smooth and even if someone who doesn't play games except maybe one of these moba or counter strike he could without any problem, thought an Iris iGPU would most likely do that.

I am making it wright now.
>olimex open source ARM board with open source drivers etc >with open source 7 inch screen
>12 cell battery for maximum portability and solar panels with super caps boosters for quick charging using only the solar panels

I am in the market for 3d printer ( I have other projects too.. so its finally time to buy one) to print me self the case I need.
Also this little shit I am making, it has GPIO exposed for maximum memeing in public and sensor thinkering

This, only I'd pick my X200 tablet.

i was thinking the same thing, looks like my x61t on its big boy dock

A fully upgraded W530 would be perfect.

Unfortunately I can't justify a purchase right now since I work from home and my T60 is still running.

X220 except

>1920x1200, IPS panel that doesnt suck dick
>quad core mobile i7 with low as fuck TDP no ULV bullshit
>16GiB without modded BIOS, allow high freq
>optional low powered GPU (1050ti or some shit idk)
>heatsink made entirely out of copper, fan that doesnt squeal
>fix the stupid fucking touchpad that sucks ass

probs more but thats all i can think of for now

X220 with modern components.

>12.5"
>1080p OLED
>dedicated GPU
>X220-tier build quality, teardown ability, part availability, keyboard
>Thinkpad-style aesthetics
>swappable battery

asus ux410uq with 1920x1280 (3:2) 400 nits IPS screen and palm rejecting touchpad

A 27" workstation that can be taken on a trip.

Me too, although I'd prefer X60. Would definitely go for a T60 version too.

basically my 2012 macbook pro with updated specs, an IPS screen, and more battery where the dvd drive was.
Maybe a bit bigger heatsink so it stays cooler under load with all the extra space from the lack of a dvd drive.
shit honestly If I could just stick a second battery in my dvd drive slot I'd be happy enough.

Modern components in one of these bad boys

One that folds twice

My ideal laptop would have a Fleshlight built into the bottom

Basically this.

I would like a 11.6 inch laptop with decent keyboard, good battery life and awesome cpu performance without costing an arm or a leg.

>I don't agree with him, it must be bait.

X220 with modern components (no 4k meme tho just 1080p), a good heatsink, 24h battery life while internetting on loonix and no botnet hardware. Also make it a 13.3 inch laptop

That's called the T70, bro. You should probably get one.

>What would be your ideal laptop?

Honestly, I'm over laptops now. I seen the light now and realised desktops are so much better than laptops except for portability obviously. There, they are outclassed by smartphones and tablets in that regard.

I don't see any reason to own a laptop in 2017.

>shitty display

wtf

It's proliferating.

I'd like pic related in laptop form.

>qwertz

so you would like to was >30% of total peak computing power on communication/message passing alone?

t420, zen cpu,4k monitor.

they were a bit expensive and broke too easily, but it was a cool design.

It's thickkkkk

Something small that supports a full desktop OS and can be charged via usb.
