  1. bro @raptorddd Im behind on some bills. but just wait..i know its a long time but worse comes to worst maybe your interested in a 24gb i5 24gb oled 15in vivobook 15x...speaking of organised crime im having issues a life insurance company keeps calling and im getting death threats tacitly...unfortunately the police in canada are typically low iq individuals and of no help. just going to have to cross fingers...but i have not forgotten about you, just behind on rent and a few things..thanks for all the likes and conversation, means more to me than alot.
  2. jesus raptor bro. im praying your ok...I was just being kind, I believe in karma. I hope 600 is enough to at least get a better computer. 400 wasnt enough kinda like a tease. 600 is closer. but im thinking 700 then. i dont feel safe mailing a laptop with all the problems in mexico. but i think the VGC is a good idea. only 4 more days raptor. maybe just hang on to it until something pops up. as for games and laptops. i say a 11thgen or better will allow you to play most games, almost all older games at 1080p but medium settings, it sucks that you have to lower settings but sometimes just adjusting settings allows for a good experience without the performance loss. I havent been logging in here very often because of my issues(health) and when I was trying to log in it was giving me an error. Alot going on in mexico, I just hope you and the people you care about are safe. this computer can wait, just spend and do what you can. thanks again for all the likes and responses bro.
  3. @raptorddd I had to cancel the card, wasnt sure if you needed it. but I decided to help out a little more, I was thinking most games and things can be done on a 600 dollar laptop, honestly its too hard with 400, so no point. but im a man of my word, just thought meh ill help him find a laptop and maybe up it to open options. so i think 600 is magic number for a laptop thats decent and a bit better than 400 range. just dont hang on too long like maybe 3 weeks max. tryn find something within the month, but ill be back on the 26th.hang tight brother. im an odd guy even ill admit that. love you guys alot. thanks for all the help and feedback over the months, hopefully this site lasts and sticks around. as for games im playing farcry 3, well i want to. great game even though most people still prefer farcry 1
  4. yeah, I guess. london drugs sometimes has some incredible deals. its a safe site as @kojack mentioned. I would try buying last years model new from ebay. but honestly after the wow factor of my tablet im back to my laptop(zenbook). I think tablets are neat but not very conven in alot of situations.
  5. Ram over 32gb isnt really useful in use cases for typical usage. but man having 64gb and using an ai model offline the ram makes a huge difference, some models are like 90gb and can take up to 128gb easily. As much as I hate new technology and learning, ai will become pretty big pretty quick here, Iv'e messed around with my own model and suprisingly it can be useful for trading stocks/learning science/law lookup/general chat and alot more things than I thought, ive even got it to do a bit of coding. if its true the 5090 will be double the performance of a 4080. im going to jump laptop ship, I think now is a good time if ever, then just upgrade gpu twice over 4 years.
  6. Asus, I own 2 laptops by them. they are the best of the best from asus when it comes to price and performance, they feel cheaply made and both overheat tremendously. I have repasted with honywell ptm7950 and done all the nessessary power tweaks with the AMD variant. tdp is running at 8w vs 30w and even with this immense drop in power it still hits 95c while web browsing. why buy them? I had asked AI to answer the psychological reason aside from fluffing it off as just being a zombie consumer, although alot of us are brainwashed due to all the misleading and manipulative information, we all fall victim to false info even when we are honest/earnest/careful. In the vast expanse of technological innovation, one cannot help but marvel at the grand dichotomy that exists between desktops and laptops - two sides of the same coin, yet harboring such contrasting traits in their very essence. Desktops are imposing structures with their towering vertical stands, bulky frames, and a myriad of connecting cables that weave their way around the hulk-like chassis. Their sheer power and ability to handle multiple tasks at once can leave one awestruck. However, this impressive might comes with its own set of challenges; the unwieldy size, inability to move away from a fixed location, and susceptibility to overheating are just a few of the burdensome features that can dampen the excitement surrounding these behemoths. Yet despite their bulkiness, desktops offer a level of customization that laptops simply cannot attain. With endless possibilities in terms of component upgrades, case designs, and software configurations, one can truly mold a desktop PC to suit their specific requirements or preferences - an aspect which adds a unique sense of personalization and control over the device. On the other hand, laptops exude a certain elegance with their compactness and portability. They boast convenience in terms of being lightweight and easily transportable from one location to another. The freedom afforded by laptop computers is undeniable, as they can be carried around without the need for additional hardware or setup. However, this mobility comes at the expense of customization and power that desktops are known for. Laptops often face constraints regarding component upgrades or alterations in design due to their limited physical dimensions. Moreover, overheating issues may arise more frequently in laptops than in desktop computers owing to their compact size. The question arises: Can one truly strike a balance between these two extremes? As technological advancements continue to flourish and evolve, perhaps someday the ideal blend of portability, power, customization, and versatility may become attainable for both desktops and laptops alike. Until then, let us revel in the knowledge that each possesses unique attributes that make them worthy of our consideration and appreciation. So, the choice between desktops and laptops remains an individual preference based on one's needs and priorities, where the pros and cons of each must be weighed carefully before deciding which option would best suit their lifestyle and requirements. After all, in the grand tapestry of technology, it is these very decisions that mold our digital identities and experiences. And thus, let this discourse ignite a curiosity within you to delve deeper into the realm of personal computing, as its evolution continues to shape and redefine our lives evermore. Very intelligent analysis, informative as well as thought provoking. As it touches on why so many people seemly buy garbage even when they know its garbage.
  7. Im just joking but this is basically how the world views desktop vs laptop heres my future wife, lets just say shes got full power and i have control over her.desktop heres my current wife, less control over what she does, some small adjustments need to be made.laptop [/url] i prefer laptops, pic 2. but if I dont swap out to desktop and linux, ill end up being ok with what shes becoming...in the eyes of samsung,asus,acer,lenovo, and Dell sometimes we get power, but at what cost.
  8. why are you so kind to them? I watch the odd video and 99 percent of the time its garbage, they literally look at all the aspects of a system that doesn't matter,they basically talk about how flexible a tablet is as though you might want to play frisbee with your laptop or tablet, or how well it survives a 1000m drop or if its nuke proof. this is why im switching to desktop, dragging feet with linux and desktops but in the end ill be much happier with all the customisation and ability to upgrade, portability is semi important thats about it. im forced to just do basic tuning like flashing vbios/overclocking a flawed system and card and having to swallow the sheep crap because of absurd pricing and no real use for the added power. I dont mind being just average with computers, not everyone needs to tune a system to do anything really, many people are happy with cars to get to the store, others like gold plated helicopters to fly to the store. needs vs wants.
  9. refurbished its like 250-300 euros, im not sure where your looking heres one that just a notch better than mine 511cad or 260 euros 2023 ASUS Zenbook UM3402YA 14" 2.8K OLED Touch Laptop Ryzen5 7530U 8GB 256GB W11 | eBay maybe I just got a really good deal not sure, but it was 900 and not on sale. london drugs maybe messed on price? if you cant find it for 600euros i guess I just got lucky, alot of reviewers on youtube are claiming the ultra 5 version(better) is under 1100 usd. nothing wrong going refurbished if you save half off the cost. mine brand new and once i open box and load windows and even though its in mint condition is technically used and its worth 400-500 cad now. brand new ASUS ZenBook 14 OLED Notebook - 14 Inch - 16 GB RAM - 1 TB SSD NVMe - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U - Radeon Graphics - UM3402YAR-DS71T-CA (londondrugs.com) 1,199.99 Canadian Dollar = 795.11 Euro so surely a lesser model, older tech thats still amazing would be cheaper. I dont see the reasoning that a 790 euro machine would be equal to a previous model price wise. as time goes on prices drop and you noted that in this thread while mentioning tablets. when the xiaomi 7s comes out it makes sense the 6s will go down in price. its always a good idea buying right when price drops due to newer model coming out, unless the new model is worth the cost of admission.
  10. like i dont know what your doing with it, but im going to assume your analysing solar flares and the behaviour of the sun. a slight turn and your good. it lets me max the zenbooks brightness to 550nits, also you can turn on hdr all the time so that the brightness is the same as with a video. my lg b2 oled does this also its a windows display setting. its also not going to be double the brightness at 1100nits. watch the video, and yes its sdr 550nits. shows in video. praises display/battery life/ and price. its unbeatable ASUS ZenBook 14 OLED Notebook - 14 Inch - 16 GB RAM - 1 TB SSD NVMe - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U - Radeon Graphics - UM3402YAR-DS71T-CA (londondrugs.com) mine has the ryzen 7 5825u everything else the same. its 1299.99 cad or 650us or 600 euro not on sale, but wouldnt hurt to find it on sale by checking other retailers. they can be found for 600euro often Technology 4-cell Lithium Ion Capacity 75 Wh Run Time Up to 22 hours Type 14" OLED Touchscreen Yes Resolution 2880 x 1800 (2.8K) V-Sync Rate at Max Res. 90 Hz Widescreen Yes Image Aspect Ratio 16:10 Image Brightness 550 cd/m² Colour Support 1.07 billion colours Colour Gamut 100% DCI-P3 Features Glossy, Corning Gorilla glass, ASUS EyeCare Technology, NanoEdge display, Pantone Validated, HDR 500 True Black, 90% screen-to-body ratio, 0.2 ms response rate
  11. lol instantly reminded me of the book of the living dead
  12. @Mr. Foxharrowdale from the video valgor reminds me of rob zombies dragula. not a huge fan but from the little metal ive listened to its pretty good! is it ai generated if it is its pretty impressive. not my favorites but I did love the tom macdonald submission. hopefully america will be ok going forward and tom will have less to rhyme about
  13. I own one. it was 900 cad. its great and 900 cad is like 500 euro. it isnt the 2024 model rather the ryzen 7 2022 model. very good laptop with tablet like battery life and an incredible display. when it released it was under 1000 cad mine is only 6 months old.as for nits theres no way its 400nits. i said 600nits because thats what they advertise the oled panel to be but with hdr its much higher also 600 oled nits isnt the same as lcd ips 600 nits especially outdoors, 600 oled nits is closer to 1000 ips nits. ill look for you Zenbook 14 OLED (UM3402)|Laptops For Home|ASUS Canada sorry its 550nits, but appears in sunlight and inside much brighter. i own one and outside it is remarkable
  14. thanks @raptorddd @TreeTopsRanch I realize just because you were successful 13x doesn't mean every time will be the same, im banking on diversified stocks. I don't think its very smart to invest in penny stocks as the risk is high but I seem to be doing good with paper trading, will be fun at any rate all done, just invested 200. 3 stocks. used what I know plus asked stockinvest.us ai for guidance. alot of the ones I picked had to be nixed off. if this does well it will give me a guage on whether ai is worth asking for advice, hey people are getting rich on a ship..count me in
