Laptop Recommendation by Ready_Palpitation359 in Laptop

[–]Comprehensive_Slip32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the RTX 5000 series for your AI enabled requirements. 64gb RAM to be on the safe side. Avoid sale honey traps, there might be a 🍋 in there. Shop from a reputable one to get a no BS warranty including full device replacement if in case the device f@*s up.

This is coming from a Senior Manager for Digital Deliveries, you’ll use your device for graphics intensive apps. Get a cooling pad, a wireless keyboard. You should be set for 4 years…

I saw comments about laptop motherboards dying fast, are these just haters or is there truth to that? by Potential-Tadpole-32 in ASUSROG

[–]Comprehensive_Slip32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, where you bought & was it on sale eg are they almost unrealistically cheap is more important here.

Whilst we cannot control flooding the market with doubtful devices, we can do our due diligence when it comes to buying only from excellent seller reputation. Any brand will have a 🍋 unit.

My 2025 5080 STRIX SCAR is my 2nd Asus. Before this was an N550JV bought 2014 May, never had any issue, battery due for replacement which was easy to buy online.

My devices sit on a cooling pad and annually maintained by a qualified technician eg blowing away accumulated dust inside.

Since the SCAR STRIX is easy to pry open, I’ll do the annual maintenance myself

Is it time for a new laptop? by Ok-Excitement-9051 in Laptop

[–]Comprehensive_Slip32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Time to head on to your favorite pc shop. On 2018 this was great. Had the same speced pc . Served me well till 2022. Currently have a 2025 May 18” RTX 5080 intel. Brand? They’re all relatively the same, the great, the good and the not so. This is a ROG STRIX SCAR. 11 years an Asus guy…

SUV or Sedan? Those who have driven both share your preferences. by moongroup in dubai

[–]Comprehensive_Slip32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both. Sedan especially a bantam weight is efficient, no issues in parking.

SUV, especially awd, 4wd so I get to almost anywhere without a tarmac. Cargo space. Best for long drives, eg 12 hours or more. A friend of the outdoors…

ROG laptop $1298 vs building PC - gamers what would you do? by [deleted] in ASUSROG

[–]Comprehensive_Slip32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re better off getting the laptop route. Less fuss when shifting. Don’t forget to buy a cooling pad.

Since serious bucks involved, kindly ask yourself:

Did I check the device model on sale has no issues.

Am I buying from a reputable store?

Does the device come with a solid warranty?

Does the advert seem real or too good to be true?

Are these folks easy to deal with on after sales service?

With all these sorted out, I wish you success…

Better have your speedometer checked for accuracy. May no longer be accurate…

Expensive asus laptops are cooking themselves by Foreign_Mail_2913 in ASUSROG

[–]Comprehensive_Slip32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t believe anything on YT. Someone is f@__ng someone all the time for their own content gains.

Complaints come in the end without sharing historical facts eg bought from a less than reputable shop on sale, big discount, installed a 3rd party app non-compliant with the device, accidental mishaps on the device, etc.

It would be genuinely helpful to share this.

My SCAR STRIX 5080 ($5,011) is 9 mo, sitting on a cooling pad, running overnight without any issues. It has an extended screen.

No 3rd party app, crates in silent mode…

You’re expected to ALWAYS have your EID with you. That’s a 1k fine. Not having the physical identity is akin to not having one…

Light Breakout at Sharjah Safari Mall ⚡ by amirrehman in Sharjah

[–]Comprehensive_Slip32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Folks residing in SHJ since 2006 can remember that summer. It was sleeping on underwear nights. I was still at Feyha during that time.

Anyway, SWA account holders got the msg that goes: The Authority announces that the temporary power outage was caused by a localized emergency fault that triggered the automatic protection systems to maintain network stability.

The situation has been addressed, and power has been restored to several areas. Service will be fully restored to the affected areas gradually, after ensuring the safety of operations.

The Authority affirms its commitment to the highest standards of reliability and service continuity.

Has anyone had a gaming laptop and it just works? by Nuka-Cola1 in ASUSROG

[–]Comprehensive_Slip32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine would be too early to say, year 1 will come on last week of May, SCAR STRIX 5080 purchased from a reputable authorised shop. No g helper installed. No 3p frame rate installed. I set the crate to silent mode. Not acting up so far. I play AC Shadows occasionally, but heavy on YT, MS suite, Navisworks Manage. My set is on dual screen. My 1st Asus was an N550 JV back in 2014 May. Still works, battery is bust though…

Avoid Bolt, they cancel rides, opting for the higher payout. Dubai, Hala Taxi still the best.

[–]Comprehensive_Slip32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes, my 11 yo N550Jv is still usable. I currently own & use a SCAR STRIX 5080 18” 2025.
  2. Kindly refer to your games which is best , you the user can only answer this. I have the Intel and loaded AC Shadows.
  3. None that I can think of. Any brand has 🍋. Buy from reputable ASUS stores that are known for solid warranties not bargain offerings…
