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.

looks great in all things but one. why 14 inch, apple's small is better faggotry? that's way too small. a 16 laptop is still portable enough and it has more screen real estate and room for better cooling and battery.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L58c7-Pzxw

>>106519018>too bad intel is implodingHonestly I'd be okay if everything BUT their GPU division goes under. Sure the GPU's still can't compete with AMD and Nvidia yet in things like gaming BUT they're a great deal for video encoding on a budget and who knows what future fruits ARC will bear.That's the best outcome. To bad Softbank and US tax dollars are gonna keep the worst aspects of that company a float much like when Bush and Obama bailed out GMC and Chevy numerous times and now people only drive those sheit cars because they're poor and the moment they have enough in their piggy bank or get a raise they almost always end up buying something from Japan that isn't an unreliable teethe rattling piece of shit.I guess we just aren't allowed to have nice things in Clownworld.
>>106523084>Sure the GPU's still can't compete with AMD and Nvidia yet in things like gaming BUT they're a great deal for video encoding on a budget and who knows what future fruits ARC will bear.This is a meme, they're pretty good at budget gaming and for things that are GAAS w/ MMO like titles.The AAA vulkanDX11,12slopfests that people benchmark with and don't really play they do alright in, not bad, not great but on linux the cards are good. For low tier gaming, even if you've got a 4k display and deal with the VRAM overhead on linux, the cards at least work with gamescope which nvidia cards don't, so you're good to game at 1080p etc.AI, they're good bang for the buck, good community support and their ecosystem isn't the mess that ROCm & HIP are/were. ROCm outside linux is a disaster for RDNA4. ROCm in linux for RDNA4 is a disaster.Intel should continue to exist. They're almost in that sweet spot. Timing and that company are what fuck them over.The B50 existing in may before the 9060 XT came out woulda been good.The B60 needs to be here now. 16 & 24GB GPUs for inference at an affordable price that shits down nvidias neck, good 2nd cards for video encoding and light 3D work. The problem now with the B50 is it's only just filtering out, at a time where people really want the B60's 24GB VRAM and initial pricing? The same price as the 9060 XT with slower memory bandwidth pcie5x8 versus 5x16. 70W is killing it, it's a card for people like me who want to throw into their 2nd computer but at the price of the 9060 XT. If compute and VRAM are the end game you'd just wait a few months.It's in such a weird spot compared to the B60 & B580. The B580 had a good launch window but VRAM deficit it works where it worked, the B60 promises 24GB of VRAM per card, the B50 is this weird inbetweener, filling the low TDP niche with decent VRAM, I'd use 2 of them for inference if they were $100 cheaper, otherwise wait for B60.

>>106522654It was an EV, but I don't recall if the recall and shut down of sales was because the car tended to explode out of nowhere or because it tended to roll around, because I saw some americans buy one and they literally almost rolled around every time a truck passed by or there was strong winds in the highway.

>>106520467um actually the case is designed to solve a simple problem: sagging GPUs by rotating the board and letting them be vertical rather than horizontal. There's no reason not to give people the option to have solid. It would cost them less money than having to have glass panels supplied.

Is Libreboot safe to use? When I read the lead dev's name was Leah, I instantly knew that it was a woman (male).
