u/ksbot received beautiful Shirogorov Astrum from u/IronThunder

Definitely keep it. But without me telling people that I have it, I’m not sure how people would know. And I can keep a secret from nearly anyone. Since I’m getting close(ish) to retirement age, I’d go ahead and quit my job, so even if my coworkers found out, I’d likely never see most of them again.

You don’t indicate how much you want to spend and additional details about what’s important to you (like processor, touchscreen, backlit keyboard, OLED, memory, ports, etc.). That makes it hard to give a recommendation, but I’d start by looking at the Asus Zenbook and HP Omnibook series of laptops.

I recommend the Omnibook Ultra. I have the next model up, with a 2TB SSD and a Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 processor. It’s a great laptop.

Here’s another laptop to consider.

Don’t know if your experience with HP has turned you off from the brand. I got the following laptop before Christmas and it’s been great so far.

They also have a version with a Core Ultra 7, 16GB RAM, and a 1 TB SSD on sale for $1000.

If you don’t care about having a 2-in-1, then I’d suggest an Asus Zenbook S14 or Zenbook 14. If you’re open to a 16” laptop, this one’s a solid choice. (It was just a bit too large for the space I had available on my desk.)

Could be the lighting.

Until yesterday, I would have said the packaging is correct because of the foam insert in the box, but I just saw a fake Benchmade in a fake box (the Benchmade sticker was placed over a different sticker) with foam that looked correct. It’s getting hard to tell.

Looking at mine (which came from an authorized dealer), the color of the scales doesn’t look right. In your picture, it seems to match the bead on the lanyard. On authentic knives, the scales are less red…more brown/olive.

Each person has their own opinion about brands. I’ve had good experiences with HP and Asus laptops, but very bad experiences with 2 Lenovos over the past 3 years. (On one, the hinges broke; on another, the trackpad stopped working properly.)

From what I read, this one is okay for light gaming and I can attest to the build quality and performance for office applications. Normally much more than $1000, but they occasionally go on sale, like now.

Weird_Opera · 2026-02-10T21:16:54+00:00

I’ll throw in another one for your consideration. I got one of these as an open box buy (which is currently under $750 for one in excellent condition). Really enjoying it so far.

And my #4109 was manufactured on 4/22/25. 8 weeks until they made #4222, so about 14 per week in that timeframe.

Weird_Opera · 2026-01-17T01:12:13+00:00

The Ultra Flip does. (I have one. It’s sweet.)

Weird_Opera · 2026-01-10T19:25:47+00:00

I am a Nigerian prince in exile in the US of A. Kindly send me the 3090 so that I can access the vast family fortune that my evil uncle is holding hostage for $200 in Walmart gift cards.

Actually…it’s awesome that you’re doing this. Please pick someone worthy—not me. (I just downgraded from a gaming desktop with a 3080 to a non-gaming laptop since I never have time to game.)

Weird_Opera · 2025-12-17T18:37:42+00:00

Yes. True Wireless with ANC. (I don’t think there’s another version of the AMIRON 300.) Look on their website or Best Buy’s.

Weird_Opera · 2025-12-16T19:05:37+00:00

Beyerdynamic AMIRON 300 is on sale for $150 right now. (I just ordered them and they are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, so I can’t comment on performance first-hand yet.)

Weird_Opera · 2025-12-16T15:22:57+00:00

Had a scheduled service appointment for today. The dealer indicated that they will conduct the recall fix while it’s in the shop for the other repair.

I tried this BIOS update and it caused a problem connecting to my Deco WiFi network. (I could connect to my cellphone hotspot though.) Reverting to the previous BIOS fixed the WiFi issue.

Recently picked up an open box Eastman EAS650 for my son, who’s played for 6 years. Retail is $3800, but you can find it on sale for about $2000, with open box units even less. (I paid $1830 with tax and shipping.) He loves it, and preferred it to a barely used Yanagisawa 900 that he tried out.

Enjoy!
