  1. @adiwan Somewhere probably a year ago you were looking for a laptop with some sort of keyboard, what keyboard type were you trying to avoid again ?

    1. @critialcloudkicker The type the current apple laptops use. It's called sometimes "chiclet" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiclet_keyboard . My fingers need the angled sides at the bottom and the sides in order to feel where they are. The gaps in between the keys of the chiclet keyboards are not sufficient enough. Chiclet keyboards are literal cancer.

              1. @adiwan Aw, darn. Anyway, allow me to explain in short. My dad wants a laptop, I said he could have my old one as is since that is pretty much what he needs, and I could use a more powerfull one anyway. ( One that does not stutter when I try to play something on YouTube while having a word processor open would be nice ). I sorta stumbled on https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/475752/lenovo-ideapad-y700-15isk-(80nv00hmmh)/specificaties/ ( specs tab is opened ) and for apples and giggles started to compare it to different ones. the comparison to this one is what poked my funnybone https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/432483/asus-republic-of-gamers-g551jm-cn120h/specificaties/ ... Litteral embodiment of "more for less" when I look at CPU and GPU alone.
