Gaming laptops are better than "business" laptops.

My priority if I'm buying a gaming laptop is usually battery life.

I'm not a moron, I'm not going to do any gaming off the plug, but if I want to buy a portable computer I want it to be of some value if I'm using it in situations where I'd want a portable computer.

I use my "business" laptops much more than I ever used my gaming laptop. the gaming laptop is currently being used as my home server because I can't find another usecase for it, lol

How are gaming laptops around not portable? Are you a woman?

>>105858449
nta, but yes there are thin gaming laptops. they're good for portability, but at the tradeoff of horrendous battery life and shit thermals. my thin gaming laptop can do like 30 minutes of gaming if it's not plugged, and it thermal throttles like crazy no matter what (yes, it's been repasted, yes the fans are clean)

>>105858170 (OP)
Yes, I can. Gayming laptops are not tested against Operating Systems different than Windows, thus running Loonix on them is an absolute pain in the ass

One big problem with gaming laptops is that even with modern features like advanced optimus turning off your dgpu off etc., your dgpu still turns on when you connect to your hdmi port which is pretty bad for business people as dgpu on = no battery life. Also most gaming laptops have problems with linux drivers and as such stuff like webcam or speakers often don't work. Thermals and battery life are really good in todays age though, as long as the dgpu is off and you use power efficiency modes for your os and cpu, maybe a slight undervolt and you are good to go.

Thinkpads and Elitebooks BRVTALLY mog any gaming laptop that I can think of

>>105858170 (OP)
you can basicially run any game on a potato, thanks to remote gaming

Still with the 2010s talking points?
People are saving big on last year gaming PC if they have the skill to upgrade it themselves.

Gaming laptops are meme that break all the time. My old thinkpad never broke, but all the retarded gaming brands of laptops of my brother and colleagues from work always had problems in few years top.

The most pathological laptop was XMG Core 15 from 2020 or 2021. I don't remember exactly. It not only didn't work correctly. It never worked to begin with. No amount of flashing bioses and firmware. Neither special version drivers from the site nor current drivers make it work stable. The fact that they name the new models the same as their older models is pure retardation too but whatever. Neither Windows nor Linux works properly.

It randomly shutdowns due to some retarded memory access violation/invalidation error or something like that. Sometimes it can last a few days without any issue and the other time it crashes several times a day. Fucking overpriced piece of shit. And when it was sent for repair the technician's conclusion was there is nothing wrong, because of course it's fucking random and they didn't had a problem during their tests or just lied.

If you are buying a laptop for games you are a moron. It is overpriced, underpowered, shitty garbage, even worse than OEM PCs.

Gaming laptops are pussy repellent. Don't ever buy one. Girls go wet over a thinkpad

lmao

Most of the faggots here can't even troubleshoot basic shit

Gaming laptops look retarded with their weird bevels, 2cool4school branding, and absurd amount of LEDs, I wouldn't want to be seen in public using one when my business laptop works perfectly fine.

>gaming laptop
>try to do any work on it for more than an hour
>fucking jet engine taking off brave little toaster motherfucker
No thanks.

>>105858205
Fat boy business laptops are best. All day long cool quiet operation.

>>105858890
>2cool4school branding
kek, this

I don't know what to get. While cheap thinkpads look pretty good they have poor 45% NTSC screens where I live. Same with thinkbooks. For the price of a T14 I might as well get a macbook air. Not sure about other brands.

The best laptop dgpu is ewaste on arrival (desktop 5070 level). How about no.

it lacks proper hardware support, will be hard for the company to source hardware replacement. It will become irreparable junk in 2 years

No you're right.
Business laptops have such poor quality nowadays because retarded corpos will buy them up no matter what.
Can't do the same with consumers that are buying with their own money.

>>105858170 (OP)
It's true. Gaming laptops have better thermal solutions which make them more suitable for serios work and sustained load. Business laptops are for spreadsheet warriors slowly dying in a cubicle somewhere

>>105858170 (OP)
Better at being non mobile, sure. If RGBs are included then the gaming laptop becomes better at being annoying, too.

>>105860062
The best value laptop imo. Arch works perfectly out of the box.

Skill issue. Qubes OS runs splendidly on my Thinkpad P16 Gen2 with i7-13850HX, 192GB RAM, 2x 4TB nvme, and RTX 3500 Ada 12GB VRAM. I updated its EFI last week, just in case I get glownigged while out shopping.

that literally looks like something a 12 year old would own. no professional would bring this plastic piece of shit to the office.

The only thing Macbook has over other laptop is the battery life.
Intel and AMD are both working hard to break the x86 = le no battery life curse.

>>105858188
Although you can game with those too.

>>105864269
macbooks are also lighter, made with better materials (lol plastic), run a non-garbage operating system, and perform better in single core AND multi core. also LOL trying to fix monolithic x86 code for better battery life. LOL

>>105864367
Yeah right, it can't even run Crysis.
>inb4 use case for gaming?

The only professional use case for a gaming laptop is running the visuals at raves.

My business laptop doesn't look like it was made for a 12yo
