I have a friend who is going to buy a laptop for 4,000$ with a core I9 and a 1080 and a 1444hz display...

The human eye can't see past 1440Hz, the extra four are totally useless marketing

HP's site is shit, so i can't get a proper screenshot of the build summary.

She obv has a reason, is she an architect? What’s it for?

If she can afford it without getting into debt or other financial trouble who cares?

I personally think that's a fine idea.

>What's a computer?

>her
Tell her to buy the higher-end model for 6K and then proceed to laugh at the dumb toastie roastie. Don't offer people help if they don't want it.

this why give a fuck is some retard is insisting on being retarded?

>Xeon
Only quad core though, wtf? I thought the point of Xeon was getting lots of cores. Maybe here it's just basically an i7 with ECC RAM support.
>Quadro
Are you trying to game, or run CAD programs? If you're gaming you'd do far better with a normal gaming laptop. Quadro is worse at gaming than high end Geforce cards. It exists for CAD, and if you're doing complex designs you really need one.

The Xeon, ECC, and the Quadro are mostly for video editing

If she truly needs the portability for whatever reason I see nothing wrong with it. Also, it's her money OP, just let her do whatever.

Are you a professional video producer with actual income from your videos? Yes? Then go for it.

Do you have an employer who is going to buy this for you to edit videos for them on? Yes? Go for it.

No? Then you're wasting your money. Get a normal laptop. You do NOT need a Quadro for video editing, and while ECC may prevent a very rare transient flaw, it really isn't worth the extra money unless you're going pro with this.

Tell her it will be loud, hot, and heavy.

Tell her to get a surface book 2 they are 25% off right now at office Max/Depot

Other uses for such a monster are running multiple VMs simultaneously, GPU computing, you know, all the standard workstation kind of fun

15 inch , 8th gen i7, 512 gb, 16gb ram, 4k touch screen with stylus, Nvidia 1060.. 2300$

For the same money you could have a desktop with more cores, multiple 1080tis, and more RAM; and a small light laptop to remote into it with.

>her
She'll stay retarded.

They're good except you can't upgrade a damn thing in them, and if anything goes wrong, too bad because you can't open without destroying.

It's her (or her daddy's) money, let her be retarded with it.

High-tier and mid-tier pc parts get obsolete at about the same time, at least that as been the case for the past 25 years.

So don't expect to buy a 4000 laptop today, so you wont have to replace it in 6 years instead of 3. The only people that should buy 4000 bucks laptops, are the people who want and can spend another 4000 in 2-3 years to get a new one. And if that's the case of your friend that's fine.

However, if she saved all for 4 years, and is thinking about buying her dream laptop so she won't have to change it ever, then she will be disappointed in 2 years when her shiny machine get's old.

>her
Dont bother. Get better friends, hanging around brainlets will lower your IQ

>woman
>having good ideas
pick one, and only one

I could live for a year in my shithole country with $4000, rent and all.

2 years here

The $400-900 xeons are just i7s with more cache (sometimes), ECC support, and better binning for lower power usage. They're meant for 24/7/365 server workloads where ECC is critical, tasks are cache heavy, and conserving a couple dozen watts saves you a few hundred dollars over the lifetime of the chip.

>Let her do it
>whenever she complains about the weight or the battery life or how she could have bought a car very passive aggressively smile at her

1700 for a 1080 laptop is not a horrible price

Surely that thing must have like 5 minutes of battery life?

>she

No, they get about 2 to 3 hours.
I own an older Precision laptop, an M6800 with a 4810MQ and a K5100M to be exact, and with the Quadro set as the primary only GPU, I get about 3 hours on the internal battery, with the screen brightness turned all the way down.

With the battery slice that attaches to the dock port, that adds about another 2 hours or so.

If you turn on the Optimus clownshow, it'll substantially increase battery life, but I have never been able to make it behave right with regards to color quality, so I just disable it in the UEFI and run on the Quadro alone.

I actualyl fucking bought the laptop in pic related and after a month of using it I plugged it in really fast and it short circuited and never booted ever again.

>I plugged it in really fast and it short circuited
wtf do you mean you "plugged it in really fast?"

i mean to say that i unplugged and plugged very quickly

If she needs to move it around a lot and has the money to burn then why not?

I love how retards measure how good a CPU is by the number of coars it has

Its gonna go obsolete in a few years

Just cuz ur poor doesn’t mean ur friend has to build a pc. Kys laptops are for people who actually move unlike you who only gets up for food and going to your bed. Fucking weeb kissless virgin. Let people be happy and your friend probably got a social life unlike you

>ITT op gets his shit fucked

It's not your money, not your problem. Let it go and worry about your own hardware.
