  • I feel like you are approaching this wrong. You buy a laptop so you can be mobile. This is good if you travel or even just in an office where you might have to switch rooms (e.g. a meeting room). If you don’t need to be mobile, then you don’t need a laptop.

    Some applications will restrict you to using a PC, gaming for example, or anything that needs a big GPU. In this case you don’t have a choice.

    If you get a laptop, please, buy some peripherals. Get a docking station, a proper screen, a good keyboard and mouse. Pay attention to ergonomics. Dont give yourself RSI or back pain.

    This isn’t poorly educated, it’s just a mistake in our education system where software isn’t treated as well as it should be considering our day and age.

    Even so, there are valid reasons to use some forms of proprietary software. Not every program has a good FOSS alternative. I would encourage people to look into FOSS alternatives but I wouldnt call someone poorly educated because they play games other than SuperTuxKart and Kmines.
