Buy a ThinkPad. They still make 10lb beasts with 3 m.2 slots and a dedicated GPU!
Why do laptops need to be thin anyway? I kinda understand it for phones because they need to fit in tight pockets, but even then they were thin enough years ago we don't need to lose features to make them thinner
I just bought a gaming laptop to replace my business laptop. Gaming laptops are generally better at everything. The hardest part was finding one I could have in meetings that didn't scream it was a gaming laptop. Sometimes I like to play SimCity while I'm sitting in meetings.
What laptop did ya get? My supervisor is thinking about getting us some nicer laptops for work and we tossed around the idea of a gaming one but I argued against alienware
I think giving a presentation on the Graphics Crusher 3000 with an RGB backlit keyboard would be very impactful.
I have an IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IHU6 from Lenovo and you wouldn't know it was a gaming laptop just by looking at it from the outside.
I guess it depends on what you want it for. I have to travel and take my work laptop with me everywhere, so I certainly appreciate a smaller, thinner and lighter device.
You can still get chunky laptops, they're just inconvenient to haul around.
