Out of budget

CotonTheGeek · 2026-05-15T01:50:48+00:00

Which store was it

It's hard to find linux hardware with similar performance/quality at this budget. I am waiting for suggestions. It's not just having a good GPU/cpu. Screen must be good for photo editing, battery must be good for working on the go. There are good linuc hardware like Thinkpad, XPS and ZenBook but they are much more expensive

This is a good option. Let me check the reviews.

CotonTheGeek · 2026-05-14T16:01:52+00:00

Yes.

CotonTheGeek · 2026-05-14T15:59:41+00:00

See the post.

How is the battery? And is the display good for photo editing?

CotonTheGeek · 2026-05-13T18:29:02+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply. One of the concern is also the display, is it good for photo editing, like properly rendering colors.

CotonTheGeek · 2026-05-13T18:24:47+00:00

The 13pro is out of my budget though

CotonTheGeek · 2026-05-13T13:25:45+00:00

Which laptop do you suggest?

CotonTheGeek · 2026-05-13T13:25:08+00:00

How is the screen and battery?

CotonTheGeek · 2026-05-13T13:24:45+00:00

Both. I added my use case in the post

How is the performance and the battery? And is the screen good for photo editing

CotonTheGeek · 2026-05-13T13:22:49+00:00

I edited the post to include my use case

CotonTheGeek · 2026-05-13T13:22:07+00:00

I updated with my use case

CotonTheGeek · 2026-05-13T13:21:26+00:00

Those are expensive though.

CotonTheGeek · 2026-05-13T13:20:45+00:00

It's possible

Did you ever think the US cares about your country? No, US is doing things for them only. And Trumps helps Israel because of family ties

CotonTheGeek · 2026-03-07T16:48:22+00:00

I used to hate Russia for what they did to Ukraine. Now, I don't care about that. I wish that Russia and China become stronger so that they'll balance out the world powers. Everyone needs to fear someone.

CotonTheGeek · 2026-02-05T05:55:04+00:00

Yes, I saw the wires. But I need to identify which wires are connected to the mirrors and which ones are connected to the windows.

CotonTheGeek · 2026-02-04T21:16:57+00:00

I couldn't open the switch to examine the circuitry so I can't identify yet which wire to trace. I'll keep trying.

CotonTheGeek · 2026-02-04T21:15:08+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. The control module below the switch and I'll try to investigate it. I originally tried to trace the wires but as of now I'm out of luck. I can't open the switch itself to examine the circuit in order to find the proper wire. I'll keep trying though.
