[yogib34r]

I'm also a fan of the thinkpads but I use a MacBook Pro I got it in 2014/15

 

[KingyOfficial]

Macbooks are my go to, however Im currently on my Acer Swift right now

 

[Shopon Ahmed]

HP elite book g5 is rocking

 

[davids355]

What does your desktop setup look like? Specs?

 

[lethanos]

@davids355 is that a ducky one 2 ?

The company I work for provided a ThinkPad T490s, I love it because of the IPS panel and 500 nits brightness.

But in any other case, I wouldn't trade my Desktop for a laptop, unless I would have to travel.

My personal laptop is some Acer with an i5 7th generation HQ model, still rocking.

I love the macbook's screen, but in Europe, a decent one goes from $2,500 and up.

Think pads are lovely laptops. I’ve set a few up recently for clients- normally I get the thinkpad E14 gen2. They’re very nice.

Yes. Ducky keyboard. I got it mainly for the bright colours.

That's how they get you started. then they suck you up for 60% keyboards, fancy switches, artisan keys, and you end up in r/MechanicalKeyboards pulling the trigger on group buys you will get delivered 2 years later. still waiting for ducky to release a Bluetooth keyboard.

many years I was also a Thinkpad fan. had a lot of many different models, like t61, x230, t480 and at work t490.
OS was mostly Linux.
Last Summer a bought the M1 MacBook Air and this is a awesome machine.
Light, no fan sound (because has no fan ) , unbelievable battery.

I was always a big fan of the trackpoint, but with the touchpad of the MacBook, wow I would never switch back.

I can see how they could get addictive. I just bought the keyboard and a second set of keys so that I could put my company name in a different colour on the keyboard.

A wireless option would be cool if they did that.

Macbook Air has no cooling fans?

 

[xReminisce]

correct there is no fan, the MacBook Pro has fan

correct there is no fan, the MacBook Pro has fan

Is there a Windows 11 Laptop that has no fans for heavy gaming?

I would assume there is now gaming laptop without a fan.

or you buy a cheap laptop and use "geforce now" for gaming

Well laptop is very temporary, 5 years max and its useless. Advantage of desktop is that you can maintain it by yourself, laptop is harder to disassemble and even harder to assemble back. I have 8 year old desktop PC, bought new GPU, +8GB RAM (16 total), SSD disk, Power supply and its like new. I clean it often and replace thermal paste both on CPU and GPU. This way it can go for long time and if some component fails you can easily replace it

Very true. All you can really do with a laptop is put in more ram or bigger hard drive. With a desktop I guess you can upgrade everything.

always depends on the personal needs, I would say, for the most peoples "old" hardware is still enough.
