720p is not HD, 1080p just barely is.

Woah shit, a fellow common sense bröther.
 
Mine is that this obsession with borderless phones is completely idiotic, and that quite honestly the Stylo 4 and similar phones got it right. Reasonably sized sides, symmetric and reasonably small chins, no need for a pinhole, notch, asymmetric chins (why is this a thing???), or those godawful mechanized front cameras.
 
I feel like this is far from unpopular lol

Making everything wireless is over rated.

I think the majority of people severely misunderstand Apple and just how important they are for a competitive market.
 
The iPhone is expensive because unlike the majority of their competitors, they're not just building a phone and slapping a third-party operating system on there. They're developing and maintaining an entirely separate OS, an entirely separate cloud infrastructure and an entirely separate suite of apps to go along with it. All of that costs money. Severely more money than just getting the latest ready-to-deploy version of Android, pre-installing Microsoft Office and making the user sign up for Google Mail. It makes sense for their products to be expensive, because they inherently have more work to do with new releases than any of their Android competitors (outside of Google).
 
With them being the only real competitor to Google in the market of mobile operating systems, their role is a tremendously important one. Google's near monopoly in the web browser market has already shown that they're willing to abuse the power they've been given.
 
Of course there are problems with Apple's products, and of course people are rightfully mad at Apple for some of their questionable decisions in the past (such as what they did in regards to the right to repair). But they're an important player and, as of today, the only one preserving your chance to choose which mobile operating system you'd like to use. Even if you'll always be using Android, they're the only ones pushing Google to innovate, so even if you're never even considering an iPhone, you're benefitting from their participation in the market.

Most people act like 200g will break their back and would take an overheating soldered mess with a shallow keyboard and no durability of that means they cAn shave off a few extra gramms

Smart tech is dangerous and trash. Like smart home stuff and any other IOT. They're unsecured and over priced. They're for lazy people (though I guess disabled people can benefit from some stuff).

Apple, Razer, Asus, Dell, HP, Acer, Lenovo, all of them

Yeah, no, I agree with that in like 90% of cases; especially when it comes to Apple stuff. 

Laptops have become too "thin and light" at the expense of everything else

Should be fine, although I wouldn't consider it reliable if you're planning on doing something that isn't just gaming, i.e. content creation that requires lots of processing power from both CPU and GPU. Should be fine if all you want to do is gaming

personally i wouldn't not at all.
 
without a gpu fine. but i wouldn't at all with a gpu.

Linus said that his “leaning tower of titans” was “ghetto”. Well, I have a small container of screws And a copy of windows xp holding the heat sync on an old Acer Veriton I’m working on.

ok then its for sure aida64 then

It's probably a relic that has no use nowadays, if you could find some serial number on it somewhere though we could pin point its exact model.

one: learn to quote or mention
two: Then it could be a lot of cards, but looking on only that I still think it's the nvs 300
