>fans don't make too much noise but case gets hot as shit and can't be used as laptop
>case stays nice and cool, fans are quiet but the display is TN with PWM
>decent display but the touchpad and keyboard are utter shit
>touchpad and keyboard are good but the build quality is the absolute worst
>nice and tight all metal body but the battery runs out in 2 hours doing basic shit
>greatest battery life of all time but the laptop weighs 12 pounds and the screen hinge is floppy
>laptop doesn't weigh too much but it's 5 inches thick
>perfect dimensions but fans sound like a jet engine while doing minimal activity and lowering the fan speeds causes the laptop to overheat
>laptop a has 1 less flaw than laptop b but costs $1,000+ extra
>perfect battery life, display, build quality, quiet, lightweight but the performance metrics are all crap; one ram slot saudered on, terrible CPU and GPU, some shit realtek nic, saudered on 32gb MMC storage
>device would be nearly perfect but can't be configured below a bunch of ridiculously overpowered specs and thus costs way more than desired
>"fuck it i'll just get a cheap pos lappy" still costs over half of anything decent
>"i'll buy used" battery dies immediately, saudered on or replacements cost a fortune
All laptops are shit

that'll be $3000 sir
Depends on how you define performance.
If you need a 9900k and 2080 for performance, then yeah it will be around 3k.
If you're fine with a basic perfomance laptop that is a 2060 but still desktop socket, it's way way less than that.
Ill be back. Dont let this thread die. Ill show you how to solve this problem
I've been looking for 3 weeks now and its just fucked. I have never been so frustrated just trying to buy a device
just buy a 200$ 14 nm second hand and put a IPS
display
buy thinkpad p50/51/52, t480/580 with big heatpipe, or literally any non-S thinkpad
used t440p/w540 too
