Mostly because of WIndows 11's stupid TPM 2.0 requirements, gonna be a lot of e-waste because of it and businesses are not going to waste with the rufus method, Its gonna take years for most businesses to switch from 10 to 11 like it was when Win 7 went out of support, stability is very important for them

MXM is almost extinct, only found in a few older workstation laptops these days. Framework is the closest we're going to get Sadly if i do end up buying a new laptop i'll be force to settle with a RTX 4060/5060 RTX 4070/5070 laptop because i wont spend over $2000 for any laptop and gaming is not a high priority anymore. Plus a lot of new games are so badly optimized that they run like sh*t no matter what system you have.

Every prebuilt PC and laptops already has Win11 preinstalled for years but Win10 still dominated the marketshare until now. It happened sooner than expected, The scare tactics are working and then people will be stuck with a broken OS!.

Yea it does sadly but the biggest problem is that the game runs like crap like many other modern games which is a shame because the doom games are known to have good optimization Just to add more to this thread.

Got some bad news. https://gs.statcounter.com/os-version-market-share/windows/desktop/worldwide Windows 11 will officially take the lead in the OS marketshare this month. Win 10 only has less than 1% lead now, MS scare tactics are working!.

Now this what the Legion 9 should of been from the beginning!. 18 inch laptop monster with 4 RAM slots, and 4 SSD slots that's making use for its extra space.

Yeah another year that mid range and affordable GPUs sucks. On top of that the new RTX 5050 will use 8GBs of VRAM which makes sense for a entry level GPU in 2025 but not for mid range GPUs like the RTX 5060 and RTX 5070, They should at least have 12GBs of VRAM or even 10GBs of VRAM at the minimum. Sadly 5070ti laptops are over $2,000 now but should drop under that later in the year hopefully. I blame NVIDIA for obvious reasons but i also blame today's game studios that are releasing games that are so badly optimized that they're so VRAM hungry, having bad performance that requires either DLSS, FSR, Xess, and FrameGen turned on to get good performance.

I already knew what the new models looked like but Lenovo turning into Alienware is not a good direction especially removing the ports from the back...

Its not surprising as long Windows 11 still has its TPM 2.0 requirements and other restrictions its going to stay like that, Forgot to mention the bugs still going with 24H2. I dont know whats going to happen when Windows 10 support ends on October 14 but i do know i am not upgrading to 11 no matter what. Agreed, according to the article only the Intel Ultra 9 285K CPU was tested and affected by the issue by one user... Needs more evidence than that. Also: "The affected user also added that the same problem was not prevalent on a previous gen Intel i9-12900K and AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X, even though the latter is still not on Microsoft's 24H2 support list. That may also explain why we did not come across such a bug during our testing since 14700K shares a similar architectural design as the 12900K as 14th Gen still has hyperthreading (SMT)."

Bump. I dont know this been mentioned but manufacturers making laptop keyboards nearly impossible to replace... Recently i had to do keyboard replacement on my current laptop which wasnt easy and its another reason to hate laptops. I think my nephew spilled some liquid between the keys when he was using it when playing games and some of my keys went dead, nearly impossible to type on, Contacted Lenovo about it and they wanted to charge me around $300+ for the repairs and i said no because its too much for a 4 year old laptop so i decided to do it myself. Have to buy a whole new top casing with the keyboard and touchpad included which costs $70 on ebay because all laptop keyboards besides business laptops are fused into the top casing meaning you would have to remove so many plastic rivets to get it out, install the new keyboard and then soldier all of the plastic rivets.... Both methods requires full disassembly but the top casing method is easier by far because most people dont have the right tools to do it but still a pain in the ass. Luckily for me it went well without breaking anything and i have a working keyboard again, Never again...

Personally i think this is one of most realest videos about the ongoing problem of modern gaming.

Cyberpunk gotten better after 2.0 update with all of the gameplay changes, installing mods helps too to improve the game. RDR2 has a long story but great, problem is finding the time to finish the game. I am not surprised. A lot of modern games besides some exceptions are expensive(Most games cost $70 now), poorly optimized, requires powerful hardware, heavily reliant on DLSS, FSR, Xess and framegen to get decent frames, Boring gameplay and etc. Older games are easy to run and are fun to play, The newest game i play is Ghost of Tsushima even though technically it was released in 2020. I might buy Hogwarts Legacy because its cheap because of the winter sale.

They're taking advantage of most people who wants to stick with Windows 10. Currently its at 61% of the OS marketshare while Windows 11 is at 35%. They want people to buy new hardware because of the TPM 2.0 requirement but you can bypass it with rufus to install Windows 11 on unsupported PCs. Inb4 Microsoft patches it lol.

Yeah same here, maybe because we're getting older because a lot of modern games are pretty dull but not Ghost of Tsushima, Amazing gameplay and story and i would include Cyberpunk 2077 especially Phantom Liberty and RDR2 too.

Its both mostly. Corps taking advantage of people trying to save money because Netflix with ads is only $6.99 a month compared to $15.49 a month with standard without the ads. Im not surprised. Philly did the same thing too. Criminals are treated better than the honest citizen these days. Speaking of stupidity and not to get too political but I never seen so many people defend the use of chemicals and extra ingredients in our food, We already sent the same brands and products overseas without the extra ingredients and chemicals and people still ask why we have health problems and especially obesity here.
