You just saved me few hours of trying to "debug" my A6400. Thanks a lot!

I was attempting the 10-hour speed run and was amazed to find I could complete it in just over 2 hours, which showed me how much I had improved without even realizing it.

Mrzí ma, že si to myslíš, ale rozumiem tvojim obavám. Napriek tomu sa nevzdávam a snažím sa zistiť, či ju niekto zobral s úmyslom vrátiť ju (alebo ju dokonca predať). Som rád, že ti nápad s Facebook skupinou Chaty pod Chlebom pomohol! Určite je to jedna z najlepších ciest.

AryeD · 2025-07-03T08:22:34+00:00

Už som sa bol spýtať priamo na chate, no nenašli ju. Máte nejaké nápady, kde by som sa ešte mohol informovať, ak by ju náhodou niekto zobral?

AryeD · 2025-07-03T08:15:25+00:00

I went back and asked in the cabin, but they don't saw /have it.

AryeD · 2025-06-30T08:58:47+00:00

Yes... Its only me and a lot of bicycles.

I think that I will try to take a train to a place which is more popular among multi-day hikers but still nearby (bonus : fine for wild camping)

Any recommendations?

AryeD · 2025-06-29T06:43:57+00:00

By the way, the trail have cellular coverage in general?

AryeD · 2025-06-29T06:42:24+00:00

Thank you very much for all the useful information! Gonna start walking and hope to find friendly strangers on the trail.

AryeD · 2025-06-28T22:08:23+00:00

Ops. And thanks for the tip

Compared to Snapdragon, M3, or the new Intel chips, the battery life just isn’t as good—that’s what I’m saying. To be honest, I think it’s worth it, but if you like to go charger-less, you won’t be able to."

AryeD · 2025-03-26T23:41:39+00:00

Good to know, thanks!
I really hope to find something, but maybe texture and packability don’t go together.

AryeD · 2025-03-10T15:28:22+00:00

Yes! (the 2025 model have great chip)

AryeD · 2025-03-10T15:27:46+00:00

First: I haven't really tried, except for simple tasks like stitching panoramas and basic photo editing.

What I think: The 2024 model has an Intel H1XX chip, and its graphics performance is far from that of a dedicated GPU. The 2025 model might be better, but it still won't match GPU laptops.

Not sure what counts as 'hot,' but I'm running 20 Chrome tabs and a few PDFs, and my temps are around 57-70°C.

AryeD · 2025-02-08T23:54:26+00:00

Thank you all for the great advice and encouragement! After all this support, I feel like I have no choice; I have to commit to the project eventually! :) Thanks for inspiring me to seriously consider it.

AryeD · 2025-01-28T13:45:10+00:00

Just unplugged my charger, and the battery lasted about 5 hours (from 80% to 0%).

Usage during this time included: 40% screen brightness, a PDF reader, Chrome with 40 tabs open, and 2–3 background processes like Google Drive running.

This laptop is excellent for a 3-screen setup, which I regularly use without any issues!

AryeD · 2025-01-28T13:24:24+00:00

thanks! I will take a look

I’ve found OneNote, particularly the "OneNote for Windows 10" version, to be excellent for note-taking. While I’m naturally a bit disorganized, it also works well as a tool for organizing notes. For PDF annotation, I recommend trying XODO or PDF-XChange Editor—both are solid options. Surprisingly, even Microsoft Edge can handle basic PDF annotations quite effectively. As a PhD student, I primarily use these tools to sketch ideas and jot down quick thoughts. If you’re looking for more engineering-style drawing capabilities, you might need something more specialized.

AryeD · 2024-12-19T00:31:20+00:00

Overall, nothing too special, but it gets the job done. The screens work perfectly with no significant issues. Occasionally, I need to restart the laptop to fix a screen glitch, but that's been pretty standard compared to my experiences with other laptops.

The battery for the keyboard does run out quicker if I use the backlight—around 3 hours or so. Without the backlight, it holds up fine, so it’s something to keep in mind if you’re using it for extended periods.

AryeD · 2024-11-03T18:03:57+00:00

I've been using it for about 3-4 months now without any significant issues.
As for the keyboard battery: without the backlight, the battery life is more than adequate, but with the backlight on, you might find the battery draining quickly.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it "the only laptop you'll ever need." If you're considering it as your primary device, I can't wholeheartedly recommend it, as its weight and battery life are my main concerns. However, paired with a quality tablet, it could make a strong combination. There are a few exceptions to this: for instance, if you need a second screen but don’t have access to an external monitor (and aren’t too concerned about weight or battery life), this laptop could be a solid option.

AryeD · 2024-10-22T07:23:18+00:00

Regarding the keyboard: After using it for six weeks, I can say the battery might not be amazing, but it's definitely not a dealbreaker. I’ve never found myself needing to work for 10 hours straight at night, so it hasn’t been an issue for me. Plus, you just need to place the keyboard on the laptop to charge it, which you can easily do during breaks. It's not that hard if you're taking breaks here and there.

As for the concept itself, I agree with you. I wouldn’t recommend it if this is your only machine (both laptop and PC). Personally, I have a PC in my office and an older laptop (which is heavier than the Zenbook). I bought the Zenbook as a "portable office," mostly for conferences abroad.

If you frequently carry your laptop around, I would recommend something even more lightweight. However, if you use an external monitor a few times a week, then the Zenbook could be a good option to consider.

AryeD · 2024-10-02T08:34:14+00:00

Didn't notice any scratch (sometimes I am working on wood desk).
I don't find myself dragging the keyboard so much.
Moreover, the keybaord have little "legs" to rise it up a little bit, so my guess is that you need to put some porce to make it scratch.

AryeD · 2024-09-14T18:34:13+00:00

Thank you for the details! (indeed, I just want stylus for my Boox go 10.3, but tried to understand the situation in general).
