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.
I’d be interested in hearing out what part of the requirement sounds unrealistic to you, as a semi-mobile computing device? There are gaming laptops with low and full-profile mechanical keyboards. Then there’s damage-resistant semi-rugged and fully-rugged books. And at least in my assumption, my reasoning for a thicker thermal solution was because I wished to see a laptop with some nice heat-spreaders. And then, a slightly bigger battery for more juice, which is common in a rugged device.
