    knowing the lazy effort, why would I spend 29,000 yen plus shipping and tariffs on this? I must hate money

    nice read: quote Kimura: In the midst of all this, I came up with a rather spontaneous idea: if we shortened the nose of the DX Chogokin VF-171EX, we could create something similar to the VF-17.

    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.)

    I saw in multiple notebook comparison tests from Just Josh's channel, the macbooks have by far the best audio out all of the notebooks ranked. They have the best trackpads too. The only drawback for Macs and (Snapdragon processors) are pc gaming compatibility from his channel rankings laptops. i was able to connect my air pods pro 2. often times i forget to bring it. Acer Predator Helios neo speakers universally are ranked one of the worst speakers by every reviewer. my iphone 17 pro sounds better and as loud. This clip: Just Josh's audio comparison between Acer Predator Helios Neo (16 and 14 have same speakers) and a Macbook. i get depressed hearing the superior Macbook

    Now that i had the Predator Helios Neo 14 for a week. The trackpad is amazing. Even with the reseated yoga trackpad, the helios is far and away way better. Tech Youtuber "Just Josh" really likes the trackpad as well as this laptop. The battery life is good. I got about 8 hours time doing various tasks, web service and office work unplugged, screen half the brightness. The keyboard is easy to type on. The worst part of the laptop is the speakers are small. There is no bass. I had spend several hours boosting the audio doing some combination of EQ and using a software to trick the audio to get the speakers loud. One of the common problems is the low volume when gaming and disabling spacial audio solves this issue that plagues the helios 16s version as well as others in the Acer lineup. Finally after 4 hours got the audio tuned to my liking. The Ultra 7 155H runs cooler than an ultra 9 185H, dead silent doing office tasks, web surfing or watch videos and fan noise is mild to medium when gaming is pushing hard. not obnoxious and can easily hear the audio over it. In terms of gaming, the 4070 is a bit stronger than the 2021 Legion 7 w/ rtx 3080 mobile card that fried up. Been testing it with Cyberpunk bench mark at 2560 x1600 94 fps with no raytracing and no frame generation. With DLSS quality no Raytracing. no frame generation, I can get 79 fps with textures setting all on high. Raytracing turned on at 1440p, 47 fps, w/ raytracing lighting on ultra , no frame generation. 93 fps framegen on. 70 fps with Ray Everything Fully on with Frame Gen on at 2560 x 1600 For $565 this was a steal.

    that's a nice touch they include them.

    do these missing link packages comes with the red decoder for the tech specs? i miss those and without them it's hard to see Grimlock's intelligence rating.

    Sidetracking from the GPU Ram story: My laptop showed up: no cosmetic issues got it for $562 which is a little bit more than $392 plus tax, i paid for the yoga. Decent battery life unplugged w/ mux switch on. here’s the specs and review: one last pic of the YOGA before it goes back. (the trackpad works flawlessly since reseating the cable but i dont need two laptops and rather have an rtx 4070 mobile)

    my new laptop is coming in today. going to test it out, if it all works out, run to return the yoga at bestbuy.

    I had an issue with my legion 7 2021 where one of the laptop speakers (the left) would cut out. Turns out on all the legion 7, the ribbon cable for the left speaker with come loose over time (heat, movement of laptop) I would re-seat the ribbon cable and it would again dislodge 8 months later. I put a fine piece of electrical tape over the ribbon near the connector, never dislodged again. This seems like pretty widespread on multiple lenovo models: Re-seat, cable (probably put some tape on it) Ground the trackpad to the chassis. The copper tape lenovo uses at the factory is flimsy causing the touch response to cut in and out so the electrical static build up seems to cause some issues if not grounded). this is the mod that a user on reddit used as a solution: (original and post mod pic)

    Remember I was mentioning track pad issues on my lenovo? Seems like it's a common issue and may need to be grounded properly "If anyone is still having this issue with any Lenovo laptop, the solution is easy. I have now fixed 8 Lenovos (different models) with this same problem. The ribbon connector for the trackpad is located under the battery. During assembly, Lenovo just barely plugs this ribbon connector in. After some use (with heating and cooling of the battery or just movement) the ribbon connector no longer makes good contact. Simply open the laptop, remove the screws that secure the battery, unplug the battery and remove it. The ribbon connector will then be visible. Pull it out with the little tab (you will notice it is not very secure) then re-insert it firmly. The trackpad/touchpad will work after this." update: went ahead and reseated the cables and re-ground the copper tape to the metal chassis. trackpad been working smooth so far, knock of wood. returning it once my new laptop comes in but wanted to try the solution posted since it only took 5 minutes and was easy as upgrading an ssd.

    Why do they keep remaking hot rod? He's got Prime killed and was a sucky leader. No charisma. He single handily killed of G1 interest in season 3. all the specific toys created for the movie that wasn't diaclone (ultra magnus) or combiner related sucked.
  21. davidwhangchoi
    when do those two come out? they are very premium looking.
  22. davidwhangchoi
    @mikeszekely pm'ing you.

    It's for small business, not too demanding tasks. running quickbooks, a bit of light photo editing for ads, IG posts, handbrake for videos but mainly battery life and a good trackpad since I have to travel and present and don't want to carry a mouse. love to game on it but that's optional.
  25. davidwhangchoi
    yeah, this is the review i was looking at that also compares Intel vs. AMD plus last gen AMD that i linked. review says it's about the same performance as the Ryzen 7 350 AI for this particular laptop. Yeah, i'll pm you if i get another laptop and will ship it to you.
