My new rig with a twist

| 8th gen i7, gtx 1060, 8gb ram, 256gb ssd, 2 tb hdd

here's the twist

its a laptop

gosh this thing overheats quickly


| >not buying a ThinkPad


| What laptop?


| How much did you waste to buy this?


| What do you use it for?


| "what's a battery life?" - OP, probably.


| op here

its a dell g7, and the battery life is really good if I'm not gaming. I can get something like 8 hours on a full charge if I enable the nvidia gpu battery saver.

It was $1100 USD, but I got it for like $950 on sale.

Everything. I'm a mechitronics engineering major so I use CAD, fluid sims, word processing, coding, internet, and of course, plenty of vidya.

Only complaints are the overheating when gaming and it weighs like 3 pounds.


| >>424634 3 pounds? are you serious? The Dell XPS 13 weighs almost 3 pounds. Maybe you mean 4 or more pounds?

Sounds like a great bargain!


| >>425357 op here, I can't judge weights by feel at all apparently.

It weighs 6.3 pounds


| >>425623
That's because you are using non-logical units, that's all


| >>425754 metric is far superior but I never learned it growing up, so I still struggle with it.


| Still using my lovely HP 8760w. Changed the GPU yesterday to a GTX 965m, works like a charm! Oh, also it weights a shitton. That's why I'm posting this is the first place. xD


| >>426188 Only the chosen few have the willpower to lug around a fully charged gaming rig every day. Salute the PCMR with me, brother!


| >>426453 >>426453 At least we've got built in screens! <3 Let's all love portable gaming on Linux!


| >>426493
A built-in screen isn't a good thing. Built-in things in general are rarely good.
