My boss has asked me to source a brand new laptop so he can play powerpoint presentations or some poo poo on it. He wants 'the best laptop' because he doesn't 'want it to loving stall like a oval office when its projecting my kick rear end presentation'. I'm probably going to get him a macbook pro because he hasn't used a mac before, it doesn't have powerpoint on it, and as far as i'm aware, it's the best laptop out there. but i thought i'd better check in with my chums on YOSPOS to make sure the man is getting the most bestest laptop available from a new zealand retail store. THanks everybody Moo Cowabunga fucked around with this message at 07:44 on Jul 25, 2019 |

Macbooks are for idiots so it sounds like a good fit.

it used to be the best laptop but now it’s the least bad laptop. the keyboard is bad and so is the touchbar. if your SWIM boss wants PowerPoint, maybe sticking to winders machines would be best

Laptops are kind of in a sad state right now, unfortunately. If your boss cares about appearances then mac is still the way to go. If he actually wants to do work then get an xps 15 or a precision 5540.

I believe that your boss will find a chromebook to be perfectly needs-suiting. tell him to spend the piles of money saved on beer instead. you're welcome in advance for your promotion

I was thinking about giving him my old laptop with Mint on it. that or a $6,000 xps 15 that seemingly has similar specs as a $3,500 MacBook for the professionals

xps is actually crap despite what goons say. has the same overheating issues and a mushy lovely keyboard, also the build quality feels like cheap plastic garbage

Yeah, the current XPS15 apparently throttles like David Carradine at a post-prom.

If someone wants to do srs business 3d modeling, is the lenovo P series any good or would the T series suffice?

maybe check the gpu that it'd have, the T would probably just be plain Intel? I would personally just get a desktop for anything like that tho

I ended up getting an literal babby laptop Latitude 3190 refurb for portability and I'm probably just going to get a Precision Desktop Spaceheater for actual computaring rather than trying to solve a three-variable problem (speed, size, heat) when I only really care about the first one?
