>2010 and you need a laptop to present slides and presentations, and some basic 3D
>i3 hd graphics fails miserably at everything you had to ask a colleague his potato that has a HD 4250 mobility something on the fly
>Have to sell it as quick as possible and buy anything that as a Radeon or Nvidia stick in it because its fucking you at the job, also shit drivers.

How are things on their end these days ? Are Xe graphics better ?

intel u series processors are disappointing, the h series is fine, amd apus are better
but i think modern intel integrated gpus have something which lets you make "virtual" gpus you can pass through kvm and i don't think you have an alternative if you actually want this

they sold CPUs with cuck cores at a premium, so i got a 5800X. x86 big.little was half-baked at the time, seems it has gotten better.
then they released raptor lake, CPUs that kill themselves, so i've lost interest in them.
i hope they give AMD some proper competition soon, but considering their current CEO is a big-time doomer, i doubt it.

poor cheap cooling solutions but "hey lets add a Norton AV license and other slop at the consumer expense" "they don't need a tear drop of thermal paste"

Yeah 2010 was a wild, these specs were the common wallmart laptop you would find, as if they were begging for a external GPU to be shoved in..
>nowadays around the same price you get a atom slop.
wild

I had the intel gma one that wouldn't boot Halo, that thing was INSANELY hot one day the HDD died, probably heating...
