I wish screenshot my profile but I registered on NBR around 2008 after lurking for several months in 2007 and i only joined NBR because i was having overheating problems with a HP DV5 and i needed help to solve it.

Im glad i got my wish that the NBR community will no longer be split into 3 different forums and hopefully they'll join here so we can all be in one place!. Also its almost been a month since NBR was closed 😑

Samsung Galaxy A20. I been thinking about buying a new phone because its starting to show its age especially the storage since its only 32GBs and it slows down often when multitasking, I been thinking about going with a Google Pixel 5 or 6 or a OnePlus type phone. I want to break away from Samsung as my last 2 phones were Samsung Galaxys, At this point i wouldnt mind going with a IPhone.

My reaction of Windows 12... Its better than blindly defending the OS and accepting everything about it. Its not whining when you backup your criticisms with facts Also Windows 10 should of stayed as the last Windows OS as planned.

This. I understand soldering the CPU and GPU on laptops somewhat because laptops are already pretty limited compared to a desktop. Hell about 95%+ people never heard of MXM plus MXMs are pretty expensive and cost higher than a normal desktop GPU because there barely a market for them. But soldering RAM, WIFI, and even SSDs is still shady to me and i blame Apple for making these trends mainstream especially with Internal batteries. RAM, SSDs and WIFI cards dont take much space even on thin and light laptops. They're pretty much the only upgrades we can do on a laptop.

That's good news!. I probably can run the game on Ultra getting 60FPS+ on my 1660ti laptop if i decide to finally buy the game.

I went with NotebookTalk since it was the better option. But i also liked NBRforums.com that Samir mentioned

I didnt know where to post this but this article on notebookcheck is interesting and it mentions some truths about bad trends with mainstream laptops that we been discussing on NBR for years. https://www.notebookcheck.net/4-controversial-laptop-trends-that-should-never-have-made-it-mainstream.599710.0.html Here's some trends that should of been in the article IMO Soldiered on RAM, and WIFI especially on thin and light laptops Laptop webcams still on 720p in 2022... No separate touchpad buttons. Personally i always hated clickpads and after using them for years my opinion on them hasnt changed.

The Dell Precision 7740 by far and its perfect for those tasks. The Asus Strix G512L is a gaming laptop and it wont be right for a architect especially with its RGB lighting everywhere plus its build quality will be worse. Also the Dell Precision 7740 is a steal even though its 2 years old the price is hard to beat with those specs for a workstation and normally workstation laptops with specs like that will cost over $2000+, Also the CPU will be fine so dont worry.

No and i'll never will unless i buy a new desktop/laptop later down the line. Until then im sticking with 10

I agree. I cant blame him for scrapping it

I dont think so There is a option in the BIOS to disable the battery completely when i want to open up the laptop and afterwards i would have to plug in the AC adapter afterwards. Besides that the battery works normally even on Lenovo Vantage. Its hard to get a Battery from Lenovo directly but even some people had problems with them too, I given up on it for now.

I installed my old HDD from my old HP Envy on my Legion 5 after i bought it but after a year i upgraded it with a 1TB m.2 NVMe SSD, I also tried to upgrade the battery from the 60Wh version to the 80Wh version twice but it didnt work out and one of the batteries i was allowed to keep after getting full refunds, The battery works and charges normally but i cant boot up my laptop on battery without plugging in the AC Adapter. I might buy another one soon but this time with a 3rd party battery instead testing my luck with Lenovo Genuine batteries

I was already aware of NBR closing thanks to Charles I was posting on NBR days before the closure and made a few posts about it especially my complaint that the community was split into 3 different forums instead of 1 single forum. I copied and pasted the links of them on notepad and i joined here when i had some free time. I tried going on Notebook-review.com but its down for some reason.

I havent been gaming much lately but i finally finished Rise of the Tomb Raider and i might start Shadow next. But now i started playing Mafia: Definitive Edition. Awesome game so far and i wish i played the original game when i was a kid. Also Rockstar should of taken notes of how to create a real Definitive Edition!.

Im late to the party I went on NBR on Monday at work and i saw the forums was gone, It still sad losing of what the community built for 2 decades. Wish i was more enthusiastic of writing more about it but im glad the NBR community lives on!
