Species
gollark: You can also muck with process priorities, or CPU frequency scaling, probably.
gollark: It's Sandy Bridge, so you *probably* don't need to worry about high graphical load.
gollark: My laptop has Kaby Lake, and I'm pretty happy with it. Mostly because it's a very cheap used one, but it works decently and with Intel's thermal daemon thing isn't even horribly loud.
gollark: They're releasing Comet Lake and Ice Lake at the same time both under the 10th gen label. It's kind of confusing.
gollark: But they have comparatively good graphics.
