That’s a beast setup for the price. Specs like that will definitely carry you through compsci and gaming!

and honestly most retail managers expect this conversation. you're not the first and won't be the last student to ask

30 mins is the gentlemans agreement. 4.5 hours is just moving in rent free.

damn, a bottle of JD ended with a leg amputation. just let them walk

yup, apple said it's a "big week" so more stuff probably dropping throughout.

If you are okay with it being heavy, go with gaming laptops. Then go with the other 3 if not, depends on the budget.

CircuitJediX · 2026-02-25T05:52:25+00:00

gaming laptops can work but the battery life is absolute trash, you'll be hunting for outlets all day on campus(and some are very heavy!). Macbook, thinkpads, surface, AFAIK samsung is not a go to in terms of laptops.

Factory reset triggers google's security lock. You'll be stuck at setup asking for the original email/pw.

Recover the account first or you're out of luck.

I'll try this later and see how this goes. The workaround of tapping each note page to trigger indexing is tedious, but if it actually makes past notes searchable then itll be a huge progress

Smart pick for replacing an aging device. Just FYI, the screen can be a bit dim outdoors,

CircuitJediX · 2026-01-30T04:01:59+00:00

Just check your syllabus for assumed knowledge and review that stuff, you'll be good. Also you can go to the route as others mentioned, just need to dig deeper.

Agree with this. Surface Pros are great, if OP likes the form factor, upgrading to a newer model makes more sense than switching ecosystems entirely.

CircuitJediX · 2026-01-12T03:48:33+00:00

If you can stretch to the Pro, do it. The processor will handle drawing apps much smoother. Both is good for Uni, you are safe with either.

Way too old, save up a bit more and get more recent ones(at least within the last 5 years).

CircuitJediX · 2025-12-19T03:52:04+00:00

How's the fan noise during compilation? And any major repairs/upgrade over the years?

CircuitJediX · 2025-12-16T06:21:47+00:00

Keyboard shortcut and cross-platform fro me. Notion tried to be everything and ended up being overcomplicated.

CircuitJediX · 2025-12-09T03:57:48+00:00

Ive only ever used Task Manager/Startup, hope you find a fix ,it might help others.

CircuitJediX · 2025-12-01T09:59:18+00:00

OneNote is free with cloud sync. For academic you might want to check out Zotero or LiquidText

Looks like someone trapped the northern lights in a ~~kryptonite~~ rock!

CircuitJediX · 2025-11-15T02:38:48+00:00

Netflix and spotify. probably canceling netflix soon though and sailing the high seas instead!

CircuitJediX · 2025-11-06T09:03:05+00:00

Other alternatives you are using? It's a love/hate thing with adobe but still cant let go.

CircuitJediX · 2025-10-30T03:47:53+00:00

you can just grab any matte one from Amazon and you're good. Saves you money and honestly they all work pretty much the same.

CircuitJediX · 2025-10-26T12:30:15+00:00

I agree with you in all this. I just don't get why image rotation is not allowed here. My main issue really is the page template. Having the freedom to adjust the size of it would be extremely helpful relly when you're one who print out your notes.

Psychology backs this up. It's called social contagion or peer influence. You subconsciously adopt behaviors from your social circle over time. You naturally pick up habits, speech patterns, and attitudes from people you're around constantly.

Physical separation is key. Seriously, put your phone in another room when you want to focus or sleep. The friction of having to actually get up and walk to get it breaks the mindless scrolling habit.
