    without knowing what you're doing, what this load represents, what you're actually asking, it's going to be impossible to give you an answer.

    That model is quite old and quite crappy.

    Here's a FAR better laptop. The Ryzen 5 4600H is faster than most mobile i7s (the ones with 6 cores or less) while also using less power (so better battery life and less heat). You also get a 1650 and decent cooling.

    WambleCropped reacted to 5x5 in should i wait for RTX 3k series for a gaming laptop?   
    The mobile 2070 is slower than a desktop 2060 and sometimes not even faster than a mobile 2060 due to power limits. If you want extremely high performance, wait. The best mobile 2080 Super is only as fast as a desktop 2060 Super.

    WambleCropped reacted to Haro in 1080 ti used vs 5700xt   
    Well both will easily handle a 1440p panel. 
    What are they both priced at ? 
    A 1080ti is close to the 2080/super. So it is faster than a 5700xt. But it doesn't come with warranty as its used. If you can wait. Then I suggest waiting for ampere and big Navi. But if you had to decide between these two. 1080ti will perform better. 
    5700xt will perform good and will come with warranty. But will be slightly behind the 1080ti.

    Plus, i want to ensure stability first off. A score is nice too, but a quick thrash thru a game bench wont convince me that the machine is stable.

    WambleCropped reacted to LAwLz in Github changes branching terminology.   
    Whenever a change is made, and this goes for ANY change, not just computer related, the pros and cons should be looked at and a decision should be made based on that.
     
    Pros of this change:
    1) It makes some people more comfortable, I think. Haven't seen anybody but white people cheery this change on yet but according to them it will make black developers more at ease.
    2) ??? Something I am missing? I guess "main is shorter than master" is somewhat valid but we are realllly scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
     
    Cons of this change:
    1) It makes some documentation outdated.
    2) Changing established terminology will inevitably cause some amount of confusion.
    3) This will cause issues with code. The word "master" is hard coded into git (the program where github gets its name from) in at least 778 different places. And that's just one program. If this change is made, it has the potential to break hundreds of thousands of programs that interact with Github.
    4) It makes some people less comfortable. By taking offense to neutral terms like master (yes, master is a neutral term and does not refer to master/slave in most of the definitions of the word) we are forcing others to associate the word with a bad meaning. I saw a black developer on Twitter say that this change made him feel uncomfortable because he had never made the slavery association before, but now he won't be able to stop thinking about it.
    5) Causes unrest and uproar in the developer community.
     
     
    Personally I think this change is terrible and should never be made. It's clearly a witch hunt and a stupid PR move.
    Also, I feel like this is a slippery slope. I hate to make that argument but it really seems like it. Back when Ruby on Rails moved away from the master/slave terminology some other developer chipped in that things like "killer app" was offensive too, and the suggestion seem to have been taken seriously.
     
    Since they are also going after "whitelist" and "blacklist" now, I would say that these people will never be fully satisfied and will keep complaining. Once "master" and "slave" are all gone, and all references to "white" or "black" are gone, what's next? Anything that can be related to vagina or penises? Can't use the word "hole" or "rod" anymore. Socket? Totally a sexist term because some people might think of a vagina. Connector? Same thing there.

    WambleCropped reacted to BuckGup in Github changes branching terminology.   
    I don't really care one way or another how they label things I'm just confused as the term master and slave has no racial attachment to it. You can be any race and be a master and/or slave. If it had the prefix white attached to it I would see a big problem but it doesn't.

    Instead of getting the ssd + hardrive I would just get this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/NzBTwP/team-gx2-1-tb-25-solid-state-drive-t253x2001t0c101  as it costs almost the same while getting most of the capacity.
