You can certainly get a good PC for $1,300 but it won't perform as well. Apple runs Windows better than similarly-priced laptops.

The 2020 MacBook Air had a 20-hour battery life, quite a bit longer than everything else. The pros generally have sacrificed battery life for performance.

Perhaps. Lol

A core i9-13900K is going to set you back $600 + tax. A midrange graphics card is about $300. RAM is probably another $75 or so. That leaves us about $300 for Windows, storage, and a tiny motherboard. You know that motherboard is going to eat up more than the remainder. It's an interesting exercise.

>just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't popular

It definitely says nothing about its popularity. What does say something about it is that no one I've ever met with a touchscreen laptop has ever said anything positive about the touchscreen.

> If they weren't desirable, they wouldn't be an option.

People have been saying that about growing cell phone sizes. "This phone is huge. It can't possibly get any bigger, no one would want it". Then someone comes out with a larger phone and it sells better than the last largest phone.

> Discounting you own personal feelings - they're popular.

Companies offering it as an option doesn't really say anything about popularity just ease of production.

I've only seen people with touchscreen laptops because I recognized them as such, not because they were used as such. I don't know anyone that touches a screen unless they have to.

Why would you want a touch screen on a laptop. That sounds awful.

Isn't that what r/Gadgets basically is? Did you complain about the Nova earrings, the Walkman, the Google TV remote, the Razer soundbar, the XGIMI lamp, the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, the Intel, or the Galaxy S23 posts? Those are all in the hot 25 posts right now and basically ads.

Probably something like that. You can see the speed start to drop right then, too.

It doesn’t even rise to marginal. The weight gain of charging a battery isn’t practically measurable. It is probably in the single-digit milligram range. Truck scale measure in 20lb increments, or 9,071,800mg.

I spotted an anti-fanboy over at r/Space in an SLS post. It was a perfectly fine comment about how SpaceX is pushing rockets forward faster than SLS but he started it off with his opinion about Musk. No one fucking cares about how you feel about the guy and that has nothing to do with what everyone was talking about.

On the other hand, I read a story here about a place that had a slight vandalism issue but it basically stopped when the area light on the wall burnt out and started up again after they replaced bulb.

No, it isn’t!

It’s a pizza the moment you put your fists in it to shape the dough.
