Yeah, that's why it's funny to watch the hysteria. I've seen the pattern over the past two years.

Does it have to be a laptop? If all you want to use it for is an encoder to stream your PS4 gameplay, the CPU is most important, and you're going to pay a lot and get less for your money with a laptop.

This shite has happened every other day for the last week. I panicked the first time I saw it. It will (more than likely) be back up tomorrow.

Nah, this is way more entertaining. Well, maybe not more entertaining than porn but it still makes my dick hard with adrenaline.

Yea, it has to be a laptop. It's not the ONLY thing I want it to do, but I want it to be powerful enough to stream at a decent quality without it lagging like crazy when I do stream. I wouldn't mind having a laptop that is capable of being able to play a game like DayZ or something like that. Also, it would be my every day laptop so general web browsing and porn watching would be in order as well.

Edit: after reading your article, I wish I had the space in my game room for a desktop PC because it's obviously the way to go, but I just don't know where I would put a tower, mouse and keyboard comfortably. The only thing I have is a small 3 shelf TV stand, and I have my laptop sitting on a TV dinner stand

my wife would castrate me if I tried to spend that much

I really wish I had the space to have a desktop and my TV setup next to each other. This is the setup I have.. The TV is a 50" and it's the only monitor I have in the room aside from my laptop:



There just isn't enough space for a desktop and my TV.

Encoding on a laptop? Even with 4C/8T the thing will throttle so badly it will perform like a dual core chip!

Yeah, some sort of dedicated box. Be it 83XX/3770/4770. Something which won't throttle down because of thermals.

Have you guys seen the 9570s on sale for the price of 8350s? Pretty goo getting an even better binned chip! Bruce and I proved that these chips are most likely binned pretty well. He could easily OC his 8350 higher than my 8320 with a lesser MOBO.

This isn't true. The laptop probably takes up the same foot print/air space as an iTX build.
