I purchased this recently for $2000. Was it a good decision? It was on sale, the best specs I could find for the price and form factor. It has a fit and finish approaching a modern MacBook (although a slightly thicker design, but not much) and it can run all muh games at ultra settings at 120 fps or above. More importantly, I think it'll be good for tinkering with LLMs and for productivity. I may dual boot Linux on it.Battery life is okay at around 6 real world hours on battery with minimal tweaking (using the integrated graphics only), and in performance mode it really does run quite well.I have a week to return it, though. Thoughts? Can I do better for the same price or less without sacrificing anything big? My other laptops include an old MBP and a ThinkPad x220.specs:3k 120hz OLED display with G-Sync (looks great in static images, does not particularly impress me in motion)AMD 9 HX 3705070 Ti (laptop), I think it's slightly underpowered to fit in such a small chassis, but I don't really know any better and it's still the most powerful GPU I've ever used, I think.good speakers, decent keyboard, overall just a nice build.
>>106519626Sure, check out the Lenovo Legion series
One thing I do like about it: it is actually silent with the fan totally off in silent mode. Very comfy.
>>106519641>Sure, check out the Lenovo Legion seriesdo you have a specific recommendation to save me some time? I can look around but I have to find something in the same price range/form factor. I suspect I can't do better for the price.Lenovo laptops do not impress me much more than Asus, except for the ThinkPad line, which is only marginally better, but significantly worse than the IBM machines they bought the brand from.The only models I can find are either lower powered and bigger but in a similar price range, or more expensive and bigger, nothing 14".I would probably settle for a larger machine but like I said I enjoy the versatility of this one quite a bit.
>>106519670>>106519641Thanks for the recommendation, but I can't find anything similar or comparable.>Lenovo Legion Pro 7: This model features a powerful AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX processor and a high-end NVIDIA RTX 5080. It has a similar OLED display but may exceed your budget slightly.Lenovo Legion 5 Pro: This is a more budget-friendly option with a solid AMD Ryzen 7 processor and RTX 4060 graphics. However, it lacks the OLED display and may not match the performance of your current laptop.Lenovo Legion 5i: Similar to the Legion 5 but with an Intel processor. It also features an IPS display, which is good but not as vibrant as OLED.It seems the Lenovo offerings are all 16" (or, worse, 15.6") shitters with either higher specs and a higher price, or lower specs and a similar price.

>>106517245>You shouldn't separate bootloaders, there is no advantage and no point in doing so.not sure what you mean by bootloader, you can have any number of bootloaders.But getting back to the efi spec, it's certainly possible and even reasonable to have two disks with efi system partitions so that windows can have its own on its disk. Yes, you aren't supposed to do that because big bad efi brother said only one per system... but you can still do it and I would recommend it if you want to avoid mucking with windows boot since there's a good chance it will fuck with your one and only efi system partition on updates.
So how do cybersecurity people know when a website has a SQL injection, path traversal, command injection or XSS vulnerability? You can't see the server code so do they just try random shit on random websites until they succeed then?

I like treating my old ass 2015 PC like she's my girlfriend. Whenever she starts lagging or the mouse goes crazy and misreads the movements I'm tryna make on the cursor I start caressing her monitor and sweet talking her like "Don't worry baby girl, I know you are trying your best. Don't overdo yourself, I ain't getting rid of you no matter what. I don't give a shit that you can't run Windows 11, in fact that's even better that'll give me an excuse to feed you Linux and keep you alive much longer". You've seen me at my worst my love and you never failed me, you have nothing to envy those newer builds for. I'm never giving up on you.

Is Libreboot safe to use? When I read the lead dev's name was Leah, I instantly knew that it was a woman (male). I don't want binary blobs on my machine (coreboot), but I don't know if this new breed of devs are to be trusted. I have NOTHING against mentally ill people or trans individuals, I just don't know if I can trust them with my computer.(Why are they like this, anyway?)
>>106518082That's the question, dipshit. I care. Trans people tend to be severely mentally ill, they are activists, they have motives. A normal autist used to care purely about the software and making it good for the sake of it in spite of everything, conventions or anything else. There was a time in US history when they would always pass over gay people as spies because that was a lever that could be used against those spies, not just because it could be used to influence them directly through revealing it, etc., but because gays were known to be bitchy gossippers with loose lips, and the organizations cared far less about feelings and perceptions and far more about objective reality.Similarly, I don't know if I can trust something as important as my bootloader to a person whose very reality is a lie, and who is in so deep that they expect those around them to accept this lie even when it is quite clear that it is one (just a typical speccy male with medium length hair and the "Chud face," not passing).I do not say this to be offensive at all; I support, respect, and sometimes pity trans people. But the point I'm making is that there is more at play with their personality which may influence their motives and thus their underlying behavior, and in security-sensitive environments, this matters.
>>106519293>>106518082No disrespect intended, but when did people start acting like being trans is actually normal and not a totally contrived ideology spread by grooming? This once went without saying, and now it needs to be explained? Would you hire a cybersecurity expert identifies as a chicken? We've all seen the video.
>>106519306They were always around in one form or another, 1000 years ago they would have been a sexless monk transcribing books somewhere.They're more visible now because the kind of autism required for low level systems programming goes hand in hand with a diminished sense of gender identity and peer pressure, you end up becoming trans when all your stupid nerd friends become trans too.
>>106518417left one is going to give me nightmares
>>106519326I remember when my fellow spergs were crusaders for truth. We'd argue unpopular views because they were right and true. I'd have thought they would be the exact kind of people to point out that this is not a real physical phenomenon and is instead an ideology. Now those same people live in a world of delusion and try to foist it on others. I can't tell which ones do this knowingly and maliciously and which ones believe their own lies, and how much overlap there is between the two. I only know that I'm in the minority of people who are still willing to discuss this, at least in safe spaces.I think monks could be homosexuals but I doubt very much that many of them held the notion that they were born the wrong gender. Being a monk has been a respectable endeavor, too. You could argue that the autists of old were like modern monks. But this new breed is something else entirely.
