How are there four billion ultrabooks that are 95% identical but not one company makes the most simple and vanilla configuration imaginable?
Need a laptop

Just disable the dGPU in the BIOS
You wont find 45W CPUs in laptops besides high end workstation models
Cooper Lee
because pc makers just rebrand the same chink junk.
get a mbp
Hunter Lewis
Apple stuff is made in China too, buddy.
Alexander Hughes
Having to pay a several hundred dollar premium for something you're going to disable is retarded though.
>Soldered RAM, SSD, Wifi, and has a dedicated GPU
Pretty much the opposite of what I'm looking for besides the good screen and ok battery.

You shouldn't buy a workstation laptop if you can't handle premium prices

>makes the most simple and vanilla configuration imaginable?
age of good hardware is over
you are dealing with a market that caters to either remote workloads or network based media consumption.
Samuel Hughes
But I'm just looking for something faster than a facebook machine.

>searching for a laptop based on the CPU's TDP
Found your problem.
Higher TDP CPU is going to lead to shorter battery life and greater heat generation. Systems designed to properly dissipate this heat will be more likely to have a dedicated GPU, since they will have already chosen to sacrifice some form factor and battery life by using a 45W CPU.
Your priorities are kind of conflicting.

You don't need a 45W CPU with kabylake-R, ULV quads out perform last years xeons if you undervolt them a tad.
LPDDR3e RAM (the kind you want if you like battery life) only goes up to 16GB and is all 2133MHz so upgrading isn't a concern.
Get a Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen6, it has a GOAT HDR hiDPI screen, user replaceable battery, can charge off a USB-C battery bank if you want crazy endurance, and outperforms old quadcores.
It also has a user replaceable SSD and no dGPU.

Forgot a pic.
Also if you reall want to go full autism on thicc laptops, get a Dell Inspiron 7520. It has 4 slots of DDR4 and an MXM-A GPU you can just take out and throw in the trash where it belongs.
Charles Jenkins
I think you mean Precision 7520 user. I have the older M4800, an absolute tank of a machine.
Lincoln Hughes
Just get a clevo or system76 when the ryzen APUs get released.
You probably dont want a gpu because of linux drivers but AMD just werkz
Eli Cox
Aren't Clevos typically budget "specs for the price laptops" though, coupled with the typical mediocre screens and awful battery?
Jace Smith
And sewer pipe ABS chassis.
Nathan Stewart
Pretty sure the galago pro is close as it gets to what you want.
You can also just build a desktop and carry around a smaller laptop for you needs too
Hudson Torres
...Like a T70?
Lucas Walker
Quad core T440p, 9~10h of battery life with the 9-cell.
Anthony Sanchez
15w and
> Even in general use, writing and surfing the web, it lasted roughly three hours and 48 minutes
Are you talking about the decade old thinkpad or something else.
As a side note I thought the XPS 15 2-in-1 was what I was looking for but Dell switched to soldered RAM for that. If only they allowed you to buy the regular model without the damn GPU.
Evan Miller
I think your asking too much from a laptop here
also wattage insn't 1:1 with how powerful a cpu is for a given workload
Juan Wilson
>Search for something with a 45w CPU
You really need this heater? I think, that 35W is max TDP in mobile CPUs.
Searching CPU by wattage is like searching by clock, different architectures and generations will have different performance per unit.
Nathan Davis
Get anything with an i5 or i7 then, you dont need to spend a $1000 on a facebook++ machine
Cooper Jackson
While true, when referring to the single current generation it denotes the performance class of the CPU.
Nicholas Murphy
Buy a T440p, W540/1, or M4800. Those all have socketed 47w quad-cores, really nice screens (good 1080p matte IPS for t440p, 3k IPS for the W's with no real technical limitation not to use a 4k screen, etc). All of them have non-soldered ram, and have good sized-battery. And there is iterations of each without dGPU.
Hunter Fisher
One thing that grinds my gears is that how gaming laptops suddenly have a monopoly on decent mobile GPUs and everyone else just stuck with Intel HDs, what the fuck is with that?
Nathaniel Robinson
>same chink junk

2/10 made me reply
Colton Cook
Think he meant the P50/70, P models are the new W models iirc.
Jacob Thomas
Those come with quadros.
Hunter Hill
> I have the older M4800
Ah yes, the Mx800s, the last of their breed, before Dell decided to full retard.
M6800, here, and yes, they're built like tanks, more like armored limousines though.
Ian Baker
Try an 8770w.
No Optimus but no GPU whitelist. If it's LVDS it works.
Incredibly fierce.
Does not throttle when disconnected from AC. Blessing and a curse judging by that 9.3Wh rating...

Optimus is shit anyway on a mobile workstation, I shut that off in the bios.
Aso, get yourself a goddamn AC7260, they're cheap.
