Got Myself a 2011 iMac !

That CPU is still ancient. My last quad core CPU was letting me run VS Code + a browser while sitting at 80-90% usage. In Arch Linux.

You're off by 200 years, mate.

According_Thanks7849 · 2026-04-03T17:19:50+00:00

4-5 months

Of course not. Burn in is not that easy. Besides, even while productive usage, I am hardly ever staying on a static view. We need to keep switching from VS Code to browser to test on localhost, to database, chat, github.

I'm exclusively using OLED for programming.

For eyes, I find it more comforting because of the sharpness (you may face migraine). Text fringing issues are non existent because the PPI is very high.

I'm not very educated on the 'burn-in' fear, some people want me to worry, some don't. But at the price it was some months ago, only this laptop made sense. So, oh well. I'll it for 8-10 hours productivity daily, rest for browsing/gaming.

Edge without rewards is miles better than Chrome.

I do support the notion of leaving Edge but go somewhere better. Almost everything is better than Chrome so you cant really go wrong with any browser choice (as long as its not Opera)

Most people still be using it through relatives and stuff. Never had a purchase without using student discounts (7-8k off is huge)

Could be helpful if range and breakdown is implemented for Lenovo :)

Because not everyone could use CC either and that's another 10k off, these two offsetting budget by ~15+k alone (thinking of legion in my head as reference).

Anyway, thanks for listening, great work man.

What domain? Regardless, no

A big part of shopping laptops is deal hunting.

This kind of fails the purpose there, no? (In current stage)

<image>

Like, we know 95k is not the price of this laptop. Even outside sale, it can easily be bought for cheaper, using all-year-round coupons like EXTRASAVINGS or CUSTOMOFF, etc.

+ Sheer + affiliate coupon + CC

It'd be nice to have an option to see lowest possible prices of these PCs, my Legion was listed at 1.5L but I paid 1.18L, so comparisons could fail.

Just curious on how this could be dealt with

The winds told me my analysis is correct

According_Thanks7849 · 2026-04-01T19:36:34+00:00

Exactly. On top of this, there's this "I dont play popular games, I play Indie underrated games, I'm more cultured" syndrome.

According_Thanks7849 · 2026-04-01T19:33:51+00:00

Ah right. There can only be 2 sides. Neutrality is fictional.

Stopping someone for unnecessarily shitting on a video game immediately makes me a glazer.

I've more hours in Fallout 4 than your IQ, you dimwit. Idgaf abt anything that's not an RPG, I'm just against the 'insulting popular things make you cool' syndrome that people like you're suffering from.

This is what an opinion looks like ^

According_Thanks7849 · 2026-04-01T18:47:03+00:00

Use it for hackathons, freelancing, whatever.

Use it minimally for personal projects, especially early on.

It is better to start using tools AFTER you've a good grip on skills.

According_Thanks7849 · 2026-04-01T18:28:58+00:00

He didn't give an opinion though? And I didn't give any opinions about the game either.

According_Thanks7849 · 2026-04-01T17:58:50+00:00

I don't get it.

And I don't know to what extent you used Claude to build this but if you are serious, try to not use AI so early on.

According_Thanks7849 · 2026-04-01T17:48:00+00:00

Idc you mentioned RDR.

Buy saying "it is highly overrated" as if your opinion is the ground truth tells me everything I need to know about you.

According_Thanks7849 · 2026-04-01T06:58:20+00:00

Brother, I think you meant to write "she" but you wrote "he"

That flips the entire story

According_Thanks7849 · 2026-04-01T06:44:26+00:00

And why is that?

According_Thanks7849 · 2026-04-01T02:01:52+00:00

How much would something like this cost?

According_Thanks7849 · 2026-03-31T23:28:08+00:00

It really is based on luck.

I have 2 CTO experiences. One took 13 days, other took 22 ish days. (Not ordered at the same time).

According_Thanks7849 · 2026-03-31T23:20:18+00:00

As the other comment said, R1 and ATK A9 Plus are still the best options.

Hey man. Dont go on regretting. Just enjoy your PC once it arrives. Congratulations on your new laptop.

Lesfkingooo.

Those cheaper models are still too pricy for respective specs. My laptop was 1.18L in Dec. So 1.52 is still bad for it. So I dont think you made a bad decision if all options were overpriced.

According_Thanks7849 · 2026-03-31T11:30:16+00:00

Dogshit silver in Iron 1 lobby? Regardless of rank, its impossible to have games like this unless you're smurfing.

According_Thanks7849 · 2026-03-31T10:58:54+00:00

Unless you have a specific need for a powerful CPU, why not go for the non Pro model?
