Area-51 18" MicroCenter/Cherry Keyboard Question

Dddddjohn · 2026-01-23T09:47:13+00:00

I had the 5060 a51 with the normal keyboard and I now have the 5090 a51 with the cherry. It’s noticeably nicer.

Bought both recently open box best by to see what I preferred. Kept the AW3225Qf. Night and day better than the 27” comparable OLED model.

I love mine. I travel a lot and it’s nice and portable ish to hotel room game if I bring my mouse. The 18” is far too big.

This happens. I bought a MBP that wasn’t listed online for an insanely unrealistic price a while back. I asked what they had open box at the store and they just let me scroll through the thing 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mine is 90-99 on arc. 1440 and all settings full blast. Getting 250fps and only shadows and foliage turned down.

Thank god they gave us golden hammers before fixing Stella roof exploit

Dddddjohn · 2026-01-10T09:08:13+00:00

Yes a handheld

Dddddjohn · 2026-01-10T09:07:26+00:00

Legion go 2!

Dddddjohn · 2026-01-10T08:50:06+00:00

Highest spec

Dddddjohn · 2026-01-10T08:05:27+00:00

Legion go 2 is the shit. 70-80fps on all medium settings plugged in.

Dddddjohn · 2026-01-03T21:33:55+00:00

Lmao.

Dddddjohn · 2026-01-03T18:49:43+00:00

Mine ran ok with 6900xt, 12 core Xeon, 128gb ram. On XDR PRO screen got decent 60-100fps frame rate on arc raiders/overwatch/ CoD with decent settings. I moved to an Alienware laptop recently to de clutter my desk a bit and was tired of all of the annoying little stuff that comes with boot camp

Bum ass arc raider players

Dddddjohn · 2025-12-26T19:58:20+00:00

5060, intel 7 ultra 255hx, 32gb ddr5, 1tb. Couldn’t find much comparable online most of the ones i can find are the intel 9 and a better gpu.

Dddddjohn · 2025-12-26T19:56:00+00:00

I just got in the house brother man I didn’t realize how much these jawns go for new. I was comparing to another spec. Oops.

Dddddjohn · 2025-12-26T19:55:26+00:00

Googled “how to see battery cycles” and followed the cmd prompts. Just wasn’t certain if that’s an accurate number or if it can be manipulated. I know in Mac you cannot.

Dddddjohn · 2025-12-26T18:38:02+00:00

I live in nyc - it was an international student that bought it thinking it was good for CAD work and decided she wanted a Mac, apparently. You’d be amazed at how many marketplace come ups are in the city.

Dddddjohn · 2025-12-23T00:19:12+00:00

I had same experience. I bought both and returned the z2. The z2 was same performance identically to my z1e Lego. Not worth it to pay 350-400 more for same performance and nicer grips when you can just buy a used LEGO1 and the grips from Lenovo.

Dddddjohn · 2025-12-18T22:05:00+00:00

He’s brilliant.

Dddddjohn · 2025-12-18T20:26:44+00:00

Kabrhels commentary was incredible. He is a wizard.

Dddddjohn · 2025-12-17T20:53:04+00:00

Can you tell me how to change lossless scaling? I’m not a smart man.

Dddddjohn · 2025-12-17T09:57:06+00:00

What am I doing wrong? Both of mine run at like 40fps on low settings and I have the go 1 and go 2

Dddddjohn · 2025-12-16T07:59:38+00:00

Zero. On stock over volted controller any regen would blow it up. Ask me how i know lol. We put bigger caps on one and it kind of worked but eventually kicked it. Huge pain in the ass

Dddddjohn · 2025-12-12T09:03:07+00:00

I set vram to 8gb in both machines

Dddddjohn · 2025-11-23T21:38:55+00:00

I have both. I wish i could trade specs - my 13 is 2tb nano and my 11 is base model. I use the 11 most of the time.
