I mean realistically there’s only one choice. And they’re going me too! to everything Nvidia does, but 10% less.
Intel cards are alright (on windows at least). But I don’t think they have anything that would be an upgrade from your 3080.
If you’d respond to that comment it would have made a lot more sense. What if the sorting of the comments put that post at the bottom and yours at the top? You can’t just assume people would connect the dots when you respond to the wrong thing.
The OS was kinda buggy, but vista changed a lot with drivers so probably most of the issues vista had were drivers. I bought a laptop with vista on it in 08 and it was rock solid.
I do NOT like automatic updates when they happen during work hours,
Windows doesn’t automatically update during work hours. By default it tries to figure out when you use your computer, and it won’t reboot during those hours. You can manually configure it too.
Yeah. It’s not that hard.
I just did with that.
Also what are you typing blindly where punctuation actually matters?
I can blindly type with an on screen keyboard, it’s not that hard. What’s wrong with your phone where taps aren’t registering? And poor text prediction would be the same on physical vs on screen KB.
My old Pantrch Duo would frequently ignore physical key presses where it tactically clicked, but failed to actually bottom out enough to register. And I have that issue all the time with mechanical keyboards where the tactile bump happens before the key actually gets registered. Not an issue for typing, but for gaming I do it often.
SK 8xing production is impressive. I know open ai bought ~40% of microns memory production. So increasing production by only 20% is pretty low. But like you said they had horribly low (for them) ram prices for a few years so they’re just trying to avoid that.
Sk must be banking on Micron not matching the spike.
Windows 10 betas didn’t even come out until like 2014 so KDE beats them.
It’s been trending the opposite for a while. Intel has mostly stolen AMD’s market share. And AMD has largely gone “me too!” to Nvidia raking customers over the coal.
Only one affected AMD, forget which. But Intel knew about the vulnerabilities, but chose not to fix the hardware ahead of their release.
The atom is only gone in name. It’s now just “intel processor”. The N100 CPUs are in a ton of neat machines. And the E cores of Intel CPUs are just Atom cores.
Windows 8 also had to run on atom CPUs with dire CPU performance and even more dire memory configs. So even once it was booted it needed to be relatively slim and quick. I actually preferred it at the time because it was faster than 7.
I’m not, but unless I call the phone support I can’t get my windows to activate.
Yeah it took me a bit after 7 came out. But having all my excel windows in one group is way more efficent than two excel windows over here, one in the middle, and a 4th way off at the end of all my windows.
It’s a USB connected video adapter. Not USB C DP alt mode. USB USB.
At the best of times it’s solidly OK. At the worst of times it’s absolutely horrendous.
I had a few issues with 25H2 on release, but they’re largely fixed now.
24H2 and 25H2 are the same thing, it’s just enabling a few different changes. But things like the new obnoxiously ugly start menu have started showing on my 24H2 machines so I don’t really know what the difference is.
Exactly. I have tons of cheap (when new) laptops that still work perfectly. But that’s because I baby them. If I treated them like how I treat my ThinkPads or MacBooks they’d have been broken in a year or two. Plus who actually wants to type on a laptop that’s flexing more than the keys are moving?
Well if it’s anything like their previous models then it probably feels like it’s a toy. I remembered playing with a display model when I was thinking of buy it and was amazing by how flimsy it was.
On paper they seem like good laptops. But in practice?
with WSL it runs X11, I’m curious if they’ll ever port wayland to WSL. Probably a lot harder to do than X11.
