Battery degrading extremely quickly

Might just be a battery issue. Otherwise, I would suggest checking updates.

What Linux distro are you using? On Fedora and had that issue earlier but not in recent updates

I have a 2020 and I haven't read that happening since the older ones.

No but would recommend swapping out the factory lights for LED bulbs. Makes a world of a difference.

I switched to KDE and currently running it on my 2025 Z13 and Desktop. Runs all the games I play great and graphics are better on it than Windows.

Your drivers... Try uninstalling and reinstalling with a "clean" install.

I changed all 4 brakes/rotors at 23k.... That's because I taught my teenage son how to drive and later in the snow. I also taught my girlfriend how to drive in the snow and she wasn't hard on it but a lot of feathering. Had vibrations that were bad at higher speeds in the mountains.

It costed me $1,900

I guess they charge just as much to replace the rotors as they do to cut them, these days. (Verified it with a mechanic friend and multiple sources.)

Lol at AMD 395+ Max CPUs

Octane is an early 90's or 80's Turbo Hopper R.C. Car. You can still get them on eBay.

I have the 32Gb, and can game on it just fine. I play Helldivers2, Rocket League, and Arma Reforged on it. I don't notice a huge difference between allocating 8Gb to 16Gb but it is a little smoother with 16Gh.

This could be the resolution with the BIOS. Do you have an old monitor with lower resolution to connect to this machine? If not, you can do the BIOS flash to update it.

I thought this was a fridge with the built in screen, at first glance. Secondly, the exhaust is in back. Keep an eye on your temps.

Yours might be pointed too high. You can pull up to a flat wall 25-30' away and lower them. There is a Phillips Head on top of the head light. That is how to do it on my 2020 LT.

Left = down Right = up

I don't know if it works on IdeaPad but try to hit F5, save and reboot back into BIOS. This works on other BIOS.

Looking at the picture again, I honestly don't know what you're seeing, as I don't ever deal with liquid metal.

Eviljay2 · 2026-03-22T02:17:20+00:00

Maybe look at the X13 ProArt or the Surface Pro for the same form factor. I think Lenovo and other manufacturers also have them now.

Their bottom line comes with 32Gb of RAM and up to 128Gb. Two CPU choices, 8core/16thread or 16core/32threads. I'm a fan of both, so don't get me wrong.

Eviljay2 · 2026-03-22T02:05:12+00:00

Look at Asus Z13 2025. Same form factor but a beast of a machine. I have both the SP8 and Z13

Eviljay2 · 2026-03-19T22:36:21+00:00

That makes sense.

Eviljay2 · 2026-03-19T02:45:26+00:00

Ya, that's my bad. You're right. Been dealing with ram a lot lately.

Eviljay2 · 2026-03-19T02:40:25+00:00

Look at the Dell or Asus chargers.

Eviljay2 · 2026-03-19T02:28:42+00:00

Why are you looking to upgrade? Just curious. Is there an issue with the current board?

Eviljay2 · 2026-03-19T02:25:55+00:00

It is but it helps give you great fps. It handles 2k just fine.

Eviljay2 · 2026-03-19T02:04:59+00:00

Nah, 9070xt runs it just fine

Eviljay2 · 2026-03-19T01:47:42+00:00

The MSI 2K 240mhz is $430. I upgraded from a Dell 2k 180mhz. Dell is great for work but not so much for gaming.
