...until they get chopped down.

>And if you really just want to play games at a friends place or something you might as well bring a monitor then, if you are already considering a 20"+ laptop.

It's a pain to go back and forth from a friend's place and lug around a tower, monitor, and keyboard every single time. It's so much easier to be able to carry around a laptop. My friends and I used to throw LAN parties all the time and it was so much easier to just bring a laptop compared to lugging around a desktop setup.

Seriously, I'm a bit shocked there isn't more demand for mobile setups. Gaming is supposed to be a social experience, it's so much more fun to game in-person with friends. Having a high quality gaming laptop makes that experience so much easier.

Who knew people hated big laptops this much?

You say /s. But actually, that was an awesome machine. If it weren't so expensive, there would have been a lot of demand for it.

But then when you game on the go, you're stuck on your laptop's tiny screen. The whole point of a laptop with a big screen is to have access to that display wherever you go.

Everyone who uses a gaming laptop uses it on a tabletop anyway. Nobody actually games with it in their lap.

27" might be excessive, but they could easily make a 20" gaming laptop and it wouldn't be too bulky. Dell had one a few years ago and it was fairly portable; it basically folded into a briefcase that was very easy to carry.

Wish they'd go even bigger. After gaming on a 27" monitor, downsizing to a 17" or 18" laptop feels bad.

Dell used to have a 20" gaming laptop back in the day and it was great.

What if your "self" isn't defined by physical matter like cells or atoms, but by the continuity of your memory and conscious experience?

Yes, those 10 clones are all distinct individuals after they are created, but before then, they were all essentially the same entity. From their perspective, it's as if all 10 of them started out inhabiting the same body, and at a certain point, they diverged.

What does it even mean to be the "original"? What's so important about that? Your cells are constantly dying and being replaced. You literally aren't physically the same person you were 5 years ago. So what is it? What makes you "you"?

Imagine a human version of the Ship of Theseus. Let's say, to make a "clone", they split your brain in half, then copy the cells from the other half of the brain to create two identical brains. Which one is the "original"? Which one is "you"?

"You" might have been the clone all along. Imagine you're a clone. From your perspective, you don't feel like a clone, because all of your memories are completely identical to your original.

You seem so convinced you're the real deal, but for all you know, you could wake up tomorrow in a clone body, and everything you thought you experienced today was just a copied memory.

But that's kind of my point. What's it matter if it's really "you" or the clone? You can't tell the difference. You might be being reborn every single day as a brand new entity, but from your perspective, you're still one continuous existence.

As far as you know right now, all of your memories are fabricated and you have no past of your own.

How do you know you weren't created this morning when you woke up? How do you know you won't disappear tonight when you go to sleep, and a "new" consciousness with all your memories emerges to take your place tomorrow?

>Are we about to hit the limit when new technology won't have a strong impact on the society anymore?

How can you say that with all the innovations in AI and automation happening right now? We are just getting started.

>That still wouldn't be me it would be a copy of me with my exact memories and thoughts but me would still be dead.

Until you wake up and realize you were the copy all along.

Beauty is too subjective for there to be a single "most beautiful person on Earth".
