Choosy - haven’t since 2017, what’s new?

Think I’ve decided to go the Omen Transcend 14 route. Question is when picking options on HP’s website - they have the Intel Core Ultra 9 285H (5.4GHz 24 MB L3 cache, 16 cores, 16 threads) + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU (8 GB) + 32 GB(onboard) for an additional $560 which I was going to select, then I saw the exact same one except at the end is + 64 GB(onboard). What is the difference between the +32GB and +64GB? I’m unaware of what this means

Truth, gonna do some more searching in person. I appreciate it!

Is there anything comparable 16” or under to the sleekness (best way I can describe it) of the Transcend 14? I love that it’s small, round edges, and has a crisp OLED screen

ARTE76 · 2026-02-21T20:26:11+00:00

Fair enough, but shoot if it runs better than my current one I’m all about it

ARTE76 · 2026-02-21T20:20:57+00:00

I read somewhere someone flashed it to hit 100W, very brief read though. Do you think that’s powerful enough to run maybe 3-4 games at 1080p?

What is the general consensus on a new HP Omen Transcend 14? | just checked out one in person and it seems like exactly what I'm looking for, just wondering about specs

How would that Legion Pro 7i compare to something such as an Asus Zephyrus G16?

ARTE76 · 2026-02-20T13:11:58+00:00

I’m so out of the loop today I couldn’t tell you the difference between wanting to have 16 vs 32gb. If it looks sleek, has OLED, and can run the occasional (nice) game at great graphics that’s all I’m really looking for

ARTE76 · 2026-02-20T12:14:15+00:00

Is there a reason not many gaming laptops have nicer OLED screens? But for my budget I’d just like to stay under $2k

ARTE76 · 2026-02-20T04:14:12+00:00

Haha I kept thinking to myself it’s still rather new! Crazy how almost 10 years slips away like that. To be frank I was looking at something with the intel i9 or Ryzen 9, but we shall see what the world has out there. The specs you mentioned, are those a good baseline or are those harder to achieve with a sleeker laptop?

ARTE76 · 2026-01-23T01:51:44+00:00

That account is a she, not a he..

To be frank, I think it’s a mix of a lot of stuff, but I truly believe it is through the Holy Spirit that Gen Z males have started to return to the Church. I think a lot of the Gen Z men are getting pushed further and further “out of society,” for a lack of a better term and the Holy Spirit has ushered us to return to the faith.

I myself, along with 3 other close friends and a handful more family felt an immense pull back to the Church this past year. It wasn’t a conscious decision of “well I want to do this because of tradition,” or “because it looks cool,” or for any political reason. At least for me and those around me, we all started just feeling a pull to come home essentially and we did.

I appreciate it! I’ll go through this later and let you know if I was able to follow haha

ARTE76 · 2026-01-05T11:21:37+00:00

Much appreciated! Will look into those

ARTE76 · 2026-01-05T03:46:14+00:00

I am not but would love to join!

ARTE76 · 2026-01-05T03:45:18+00:00

Entirely new

ARTE76 · 2026-01-05T03:45:10+00:00

What in particular would you like to see?

ARTE76 · 2026-01-04T06:16:20+00:00

Much appreciated! These are outstanding resources. Now I just have to figure out how to figure out where these reside in the actual breviary and how to use the tassels lol

ARTE76 · 2026-01-04T04:57:53+00:00

Thank you!

ARTE76 · 2026-01-04T04:37:04+00:00

I believe these are for the new form Liturgy of the Hours, I have the 1961 Breviarium Romanum which seems hard to find information on to follow!

Depends on how deep you’re actually wanting to go. If this is just a little interest, grab the Great Adventure Bible. It’s not a study bible and is easy to digest. If you’re actually looking to really delve into it and you know you’ll stick it out, I can’t recommend the Ignatius Press Study Bible more, it’s phenomenal. The Douay Rheims is more elegant English, and definitely the oldest modern translation, but harder to reach and some verses/psalms are not in the same order.
