I'm actually blown away by how bad my current laptop is. It's heavy, slow and has a bad battery life, a bad trackpad, and an awful display. It's a HP consumer grade one. I hear their business line is better.

I have an asus ux303u with 940m gpu
pretty happy with it, only one of the two RAM bays is soldered (4gb), definitely agree with the touchpad ratio being retarded though which is why I wrote that script/shortcut to toggle it when typing

also I actually like the proliferation of touchscreens - I don't use it because I'm not functionally retarded but they're a lot tougher and harder to scratch than traditional screens. I only wish they came with a matt-coated option

The, the laptop market is pretty garbage.
Soldered ram and a battery that's infeasible to replace are annoying but fuck it, at least you can buy your way out of that problem by just replacing the whole damn thing.
Keyboards are abysmal, ibm/sony/apple figured out a good thing with the split key design (I mean still low travel but at least you can touch type better) sony is schizophrenic and can't keep a line in good shape for more than a couple years, apple went full retard with their "butterfly switches" and associated hardware, and lenovo can't make a display to save their fucking lives.
On the topic of displays, 1080 is still considered good despite apple shitting all over it for like over 5 years now. Phone manufacturers figured out how to get their display shit together, I'm not sure what metal deficiency keeps laptop manufacturers from doing the same.
Missing hardware radio button and indicators is annoying but I can deal. The obsession with weight/thinness is cancer though.

I use holographic peripherals and true retina display (displays directly in my retina). CPU piggybacks off my brain via implantation (no soldering required) for mega core processing. Dot matrix printer.
