  1. Past hour
  2. i saw a review comparison of the g14 and it's definitely a superior laptop in every way than the helios. especially the audio. The helios seems like a good value based on the price per performance ratio. But the g14 if price is not an issue is a premium laptop. btw, bestbuy is having another of those amazing open box deals that started today on the g14: ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (Open-Boxes): 14" OLED 3K 120Hz, Ryzen 9 270, RTX 5060, 16GB LPDDR5X, 1TB SSD $929.99 the G14 at this price point is definitely an amazing deal. Best Buy open boxes are some of the best deals around since you can pick the condition you want or return it if it's not your liking. They also have an amazing open box deal on a 5080 laptop that started today: HP OMEN MAX (Open-Boxes): 16" QHD+ 240Hz OLED, Intel Ultra 9 275HX, RTX 5080, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD $1619.99 if i didn't get this helios for dirt cheap, i would be all over the open box G14 or save a little for the OMEN (though HP has some issues.)
  3. Today
  4. I'm confused how tariffs would only add $3 to the price. I thought current tariff from China was somewhere around 45%. I'm hoping to pick up Max tomorrow.

  6. Thank you. It’s a great looking kit and should run you $20-30. Just a few seam pitfalls to look out for and I find the Has decals to be challenging. But definitely one of my favourite designs!
  7. Looking sweet !
  8. My take on Filoni is that he is good when it comes to animated series, much less so with live-action. I really like Clone Wars, Rebels and Bad Batch. Of the live action series, I only really enjoyed The Mandalorian season 1 and to a certain extent Skeleton Crew. I know a lot of people love Andor, but I just couldn't finish it. I tried to get through season 1, 3 times, but kept falling asleep on I think episode 5 or 6. 😅 Haven't tried watching season 2 yet. Dreck like The Acolyte, Ahsoka, Obi Wan and The Book of Boba Fett have done a great job of turning me off a franchise I've loved since the 70s.😓
  9. Some decal work.
  10. No tracking yet, but I did get a note from BBTS that my Miriya should ship soon. I will definitely give them credit for working to honor their original prices as much as possible, they said the tariff change would basically be adding $3.00 to my price, which I have no trouble with. I was expecting it to be far more than that.
  11. You had me curious, @davidwhangchoi. I do the vast majority of my computing on my desktop. In fact, I could have got a much more powerful laptop for less money than the G14, but the G14 is one of the most actually portable gaming laptops on the market and I need my laptop to fit in a bag I can comfortably carry from Pittsburgh all the way to my in-laws' place in Beijing. So, like Az, I tend to use headphones with it (even though I'm fine using my ancient Logitech 5.1 setup on my desktop). Anyway, not a professional test with an LLT labs-style graph or anything, but I played some music on it. Overall, I'd say the speaker built-in are pretty good! It gets pretty loud, the bass is a tad heavy but not muddy, the highs are clear, but the mids are a little thin. If I weren't so lazy I'd dig out my Macbook Air and do an A-B test before confidently stating that Apple still has the best laptop speakers, but the G14 still destroys the crappy speakers in my wife's laptop, or the built-in speakers on my ROG Ally X.
  12. Yesterday
  13. Yeah, her interview says she's not retiring completely. She's just getting out of the boardroom. She intends to continue her career as a producer.
  14. Granted, security in Star Trek is usually a bit of a joke... but it's swiss cheese even by those low standards in Starfleet Academy. Normally, unauthorized computer access leads to an alarm, to security finding out almost immediately, and subsequently getting busted (e.g. TNG "The Wounded", "The Hunted", DS9 "Civil Defense", "Broken Link"). The Athena's 800 years more advanced than the Enterprise-D or Defiant and Caleb, a cadet with no security clearance to speak of, breaks into the ship's comms to send an unauthorized transmission to his mommy and doesn't even get caught until hours later when pirates attack the ship because of it. He then proceeds to break into the ship's computers multiple times a day to go AWOL and is only caught hours after the fact. Even the hologram set up specifically to stop him leaving the campus without permission is defeated with comical ease...
  15. I think of my Season 1 and Season 2 Autobot cast, I'm really only missing Swoop and Gears.........and everywhere I look they want an astronomical amount of money. I guess technically Skids, but I really don't count him as existing due to his 3 seconds of show time he's ever had. My Season 1 and 2 Decepticon cast I believe I'm just missing Rumble (blue......he's ALWAYS BEEN BLUE!) again, Astronomical price. Well I mean there's the new combaticon set but I'm not really counting them cause they're just to out of my price range and I still have combiner wars, and they're decent. Sadly even going to top tier places like Toy Dojo, I come up massively short.
