even the best laptop is utter trash comparing to a standard desktop.

What I want exists but is marketed towards Holywood studios and thus the proce is enormous.

its pretty much a regular PC that has a foldable monitor on the side and folds into a fucking suitcase with a handle.

I wish such cases existed for consumers.

I can dream of a OP laptop that's thin

It already exists.

fuck low res and low quality monitors
fuck unportability
fuck bloated ram
fuck bloated storage space
fuck bloated ports
fuck bloated dimensons
fuck small batteries

does that shit plug into a wall or what

cant even imagine what battery life on a thing like that would be like, assuming it even has a battery

>legit usability features are "bloat"

It's a laptop not a desktop if you want more features buy a desktop.

thinkpad customization with gnu/linux in mind

Yep, if it has any battery thats probably just for saving your work before shutting down if the power cuts off.

Are you the guy who was posting the DuraPac a few months back?

Nope.
But thats exactly my dream machine.

It's a nice machine isn't it?

The term I think you are looking for is a luggable. As in the Osborne 1 or Compaq Portable.
There are a few of these kind of machines around, but as you say, they are very expensive.
You can find barebones kits for a bit cheaper, or hack one together yourself but most of the stuff you will find will be 'call us for a quote' kind of thing.

Fine...my perfect laptop is a big ass Moto z mod. I plug my phone in and it becomes the track pad. The phone does everything and the laptop is a shell with a fuckton of battery and a bigger screen.

Maybe add a couple of port and an SD card slot. Yeah I'm fucking simple like that.

Just get a Pelican case, put PC hardware, add some laptop screens or even a full 22/24" PC screen and you are good to go. You've all heard of briefcase mods right?

pretty much a turbocharged X220, which is what i already have

Macbook pro 15" whatevers the latest version, maxed out but isn't made by apple, has a mx 150 instead of amd gpu, doesn't run mac osx and doesn't throttle (so a few cm's of thickness added would be completely fine)

real talk, why doesn't the phone trackpad wear down into a shiny blurry mess like thinkpad trackpads?

Why are you using a laptop? Just buy a tablet if you hate features so much.

Basically I want my X220 but with

>a 12-cell battery
>a big-ass fan for proper cooling - I want no throttling at 100% load

Most of it is basically taking my X220 and making it modern, adding a bit of storage and a better screen and a bigger battery

I don't really like the new keyboard. You CAN type fast on it, but it just doesn't feel right.

Why would someone need 2 lan ports

its a perfect laptop retard. i just chose an extreme edition. it's not as if its impossible for a 12.5" laptop to have a socketed motherboard.

The problem is that everything would look tiny.

Wait for chink companies to sell sub $500 Snapdragon 835 laptop. Install gentoo for 20 hours shitposting on batteries. Might even run simple games for 5 or more hours.

8" netbook. I SSH onto servers to do most of my programming anyways so I just want a tiny portable machine with a usable keyboard and decent resolution screen.

It would ship with an OS that works well and works reliably, but also doesn't spy on you. Instead of selling data about users to advertisers and governments, the company creating the OS would instead generate revenue by selling their product and providing service.

People in a few years will see computers we now think of as cutting-edge the way we look at obsolete shitbooks from the early 2000s.
I can't wait.

who is this wooden gooden?

Didn't something already exist where you had a phone that plugged in to a tablet-sized shell with it's own battery and touch screen? I know it's different than your idea, but maybe you know what I'm talking about.

X230t form factor with modern specs, either midrange i series intel or high end octacore ARM

>Instead of selling data about users to advertisers and governments, the company creating the OS would instead generate revenue by selling their product and providing service.
Companies tried that for twenty years. It just led to lots of pirated photoshop CSs. Hence the new subscription model.

literally just a T420 with a screen that doesn't blow

Then just get a chinkpad you poorfaghipster.

t. Sup Forums machine engineer

Pretty easy. Start with the XPS 13 body, fix the hinge so you can open the screen without holding the base like a MacBook can do, shift the screen slightly further down to take up some of the giant bottom bezel and stick the webcam up the top and flank it with windows hello face scanning. Give it a MagSafe charger and make the touchpad force touch.

now drop the price to a chill $1000, keep it a decent i5 and thicken the whole thing a little for a few extra hours of Street and we're done here.

a laptop should be portable, speedy and long lasting. it doesn't need to be powerful, it just needs to be able to do some simple shit well and a desktop does the heavy lifting

Keys get ruined by 1 speck of dust.
Fuck this keyboard.
2015 MBP or bust

Have you looked at the Thinkpad P50?

Thinkpad P51 fits much of these

Really though a lot of your other criteria simply won't fit without being a 17 inch laptop

>9 cell flush battery (no growth on the back)
Heresy
It's the perfect grab bar

>12,5"
>Full keyboard w/numpad
That would be a terrible fucking keyboard, it would be too small

screen is too small for that resolution

You can swap the panel with one with much better colors and angles

2 options:
>Alienware M14x R2 (glossy but swaps with no work)
>X1 Carbon 1st gen (matte but needs ribbon cable extension and tape)

They're still 1600x900 tho.

Or if you want to wait, in a couple months a new version of the eDP adapter board will come out that works on the non-s T420/T430 letting you use the T440 screens

A T420 with newer hardware and a 16:10 screen that fits the bezel much better

That would be just perfect.

I honestly don't get the small laptop meme. Is this a manlet thing? A bigger display is always better, 12 inch is basically tablet tier shit.

Shhh... This is the kind of guy Applel targets, they pay more money for less features.

close, but not quite there
all they need to do is get rid of the fucking housefire cpu, use a 45W TDP 6 or 8 core at 2-2.4GHz instead and offer an optional classic keyboard instead of making it limited and bundling it with a fucking dual core cpu.
I doubt they will make any changes besides """""""""upgrading""""""""" to coffee lake and (maybe) pascal

WHY DO THEY FUCKING MAKE THE NEW LAPTOPS WITH EVEN LESS BATTERY CELLS??? Why can't I just get a modern laptop with a 9-cell battery for fucks sake?

I just want build quality, battery life, and cheap. Laptop market is expensive for the shit they are trying to shill. Used thinkpads that aren't old with shit battery life are expensive, MacBooks are expensive and not much better than something that is way less, every other company I don't trust.

FOCUS ON THE GODDAMN BUILD QUALITY.

niiice bro thainks

closest to perfect machine ive seen in a long time. expensive tho

>whatever is the best mobile gpu right now
an mx series gpu would be best, laptops with 10 series gpu's have shit battery life

1TB SSD
3 USB 3.0 ,HDMI,VGA,Ethernet,solid WiFi

>Standardized battery compartment in various capacities no less than 10.000 mAh
This would best solved by actually having a laptop can can accept something like RC lipo batteries or 18650s which are cheap as shit and available everywhere

Then someone should make it happened because this is the last time im playing 1/3 of the laptop cost for a replacement battery.
This is robbery and it needs to be stopped.

I got a 9 cell for my t420 for $70, the cells by themselves would be $55. For me it's not the cost that is bad it's the availability, you buy a laptop and come 3 years later when you need a new battery you may not be able to find a good OEM battery or a aftermarket battery that isn't chinkshit, my T420 battery came easily enough but that isn't always the case for other laptops, using standardized batteries allows you to be independent from the supply chain of OEM/aftermarket parts

I don't understand how the battery ON PORTABLE MACHINE is not solved yet like you know batteries on cars,9v for general use ect.
Its 2017 and I have to vorry years ahead if I will be able to use this piece of shit portably in the future.
Its pathetic scammy and unnecessary,law should have regulated or at least international organizations for standardization should take matters in their own hands and fucking do xyz size box with various capacities.
I am fucking done tracking down questionable bootleg batteries that may or may not catch fire if I leave them on the charger for too long.
Every fucking laptop from the same manufacturer has different battery receptacle for fuck sake its getting ridiculous.
God fucking dammit I am so pissed

The real pisser is that you used to be able to re-cell a battery and it would be good as new, now they go them where they commit suicide and become unusable to the machine if the cells are ever disconnected from the controller board inside the battery.

I think at this point, if users were given a choice, they'd prefer to go back to paying for good shit that isn't monitoring them.

This but with modern specs. God I love my x61.

To bad no one wants to sell good shit that isn't monitoring it's users.
You buy Windows 10 for example and Microsoft is still data mining you no matter that you shelled out $200 for the pro version.
There is no such thing as a software product anymore, it's all software services and you end up as the product to advertisers. There is no such thing as buying photoshop, your subscribing to the photoshop service.
