Mk fair point. Razer came out with a new hybrid. It's a laptop that can dock with it's "core" which is like a desktop. It's kinda a laptop that can double as a desktop monitor. Dual purpose. Idk how much it is but Razer so yeah XD

And ok you want a laptop for portability but let's entertain the idea of you building a desktop for amusement value.

So you spent 687 USD on that prebuilt HP. Why don't we experiment with parts to see if we can design something with the same price but better performance?
