Damn thats an expensive board !

Great compact build and utilization of internal space ... and the foresight to get a case with handle - kudos :cool:

Unfortunately thunderbolt 3/4 egpu docks are stutterfest in gaming. Even more unfortunately, oculink port equipped devices are rare. I dream of laptops with oculink port. Lenovo has launched one in china !

Thats how I got it too. bought from walmart online and then friend carried it here. Can confirm no performance hit (even in 1% lows) on both my eGPUs https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/116474515? The xiwai one just from amazon india. A few months back it was going for 7k. took couple of weeks. The...

Yes especially the thing with MiniPCs are the good ones are expensive as AMD mobile cpus are rarer than unicorns. In a thermally constrained space AMD cpus are heads and shoulders above intel (save lunar lake) but gets divided amongst handhelds, laptops and miniPCs, jacking up their prices...

I actually have replaced my gaming desktop by Minisforum UM780XTX + RX6800eGPU (through oculink) https://techenclave.com/threads/performance-limited-by-the-apple-m1-%E2%80%94-more-cores-faster-cores-or-back-to-x86.222694/#post-2556608

I have always used clonezilla for OS backups.

After the weighted school bags started getting unbalanced owing to weights being on only one side, took the help of a welder to make an "adjustable weighted vest" for weighted calisthenics I got into during the pandemic. Cost - Rs 500. Sewed the velcro straps myself. Hundreds of dips, pullups...

What do you stand to gain from the update ? Is there a new feature that is coming in 24H2 that will improve your workflow drastically? Acc to rumours M$ has reduced its testing staff and just treating their user base as unpaid testing interns. If no, dont fret over it, let it come, you can...

Ya, its probably because of custom rom. The stock Mi rom is a battery hog and god knows what backgroud telemetry apps running on CCP's directives :dead:

You dont need to measure end to end if you have accubattery or custom rom with the screen on time feature in settings. However I have done end to end many times with youtube playing and get the same sot. Yes, ever since I have had the F1, I have changed the battery 3-4 times every time the...

Poco F1 with custom Rom gives me 10-11 hours of SOT (amount of time screen is actually on from 100% to 0%) with general day to day use.

Selling my sparingly used Samsung 850 EVO SATA 2.5 Inch SSD with DRAM (500GB) Excellent for running as main OS drive. It was extracted out of a PC and then used an external but didnt see much use as external so retiring it. I have included all data I could think of but ping me for anything...

No, dont think launched here yet. Edit - Looks like asus zenbook S14 lunar lake and Yoga slim 7x snapdragon are both available for 1.4 lacs.

Lunar lake already seems to be giving Snapdragon a run for its money in the battery department. Hoping, the fight among Snapdragon, Lunar lake and Strix point and their successors rejuvenates the ultra portable category.

I think I have had the same predicament as you on the windows side though. Have mostly used many laptops with U series processors(Intel 6th gen, 10th gen, ryzen 4800u-8c/16t) and have been starved of performance or battery or both. Eventually was fed up and just decided to retire both my many...

Additionally, repair cost are scary in case something goes bad god forbid. A colleague had to pay 63k for MB reaplacement when his M1 's charging circuitry went bad. I paid 3.5k for my gigabyte laptop after it stopped charging to a local laptop repair shop. Lack of a mature used macbook market...

Sure. Right now talking to all resellers only and they are fairly fixed at price 25% below Amazon refurbished thinkpads. They generally give 2-4 weeks of testing warranty. Any specific model you looking for ?

I talked to several of these laptop reselling shops in the city - they generally get the laptops from either MNCs in India or outside. The laptops in question are Thinkpad X1 Carbons and Yoga - generally with 8th -10th gen Intel processor and out of company warranty but ~1 month reseller...

Thats like my dream laptop lol especially for linux. That ryzen cpu is so good but cant afford it :weary: Currently looking at X1Cs in the used market. The to-launch lunar lake Asus expertbook P5 looks good. it had legit two m.2 ports. So windows and linux in each :)
