I’m sick of my laptop breaking after just three years. I want a laptop that:
- comes with a nice APU
- does not have a dGPU
- comes with a chonky thermal solution
- has lots of battery juice
- has lots of modern ports
- is repairable
- is rugged, bulky and thick
- is equipped with a nice, thonky keyboard
- isn’t one of those stupid, low-quality “gAmIng lApTOp”
So far, only the X220 and MNT Reform comes close to this description - the former is a really slow machine for today’s time, and for some reason, still damn expensive. The latter is just too expensive to the point that I’ll have to sell all eight kidneys in my family.
Do they sell anything like this in today’s time, with a reasonable price?
PS. Thick is a strong requirement. I want a really nice cooling solution, plus it also serves it’s purpose as a melee weapon to removed-slap those ultra-book trash-talkers.
Nope, they really don’t. You may have to engineer a cooling station.
From what little research I’ve done, the ThinkPad P14/16v (without the dGPU) seems to be the closest to what I’m looking for. Maybe if they add another fan instead of the dummy fan plastic, and made it more modular, and provided full-profile keyboards, and made it a little bit more thicker, it would be the device I’m looking for.
