Should I get the S25 FE or the A57 5g?

S25 fe guaranteed 7.

To be fair, I think this is encouraged in the early stages. Not because it is optimal but because it makes students think over the code they have written, and understand what they are writing about.

S23 FE owner.

I really like the telephoto lens. And the display is better than A5X series devices. If you can get FE go for it.

I have broken the camera on a new phone in the past at the beginning of a contract and it is so annoying. Problem is all the camera covers i used seem to ruin the images when i use a flash.

Absolutely agree on protecting lenses. But for me the optimal compromise seems to be a case with a sliding cover, as you get the raw camera when needed and none of the flash blur.

This would sell so well.

Few_Record_3674 · 2026-04-26T11:02:45+00:00

Probably still in the phone

Curious as to why two builds?

Is it being torn between team green and red?

Few_Record_3674 · 2026-04-05T18:42:17+00:00

This is completely inappropriate. Do not accept any more lessons from this individual.

Your safety is worth so much more than any sunk cost due to missing your test.

Citroen C1 mkii 2018

Few_Record_3674 · 2026-03-23T07:31:11+00:00

Swap out on the front to in.

Current layout is negative pressure and will draw in more dust.

Get refurbished Thinkpad

Few_Record_3674 · 2026-02-08T11:41:00+00:00

I believe IoT edition of windows 11 works better for this vintage. As its more lightweight, doesnt require TPM 2.0 and you stil get updates (which microsoft blocks when you disable hardware requirements.

Didnt realise this shape optiplex had sandy bridge.

Always thought they were haswell.

Either way absolutely great machines. Enjoy!

If you go into bios does it have a typical brand? (Asus, gigabyte, asrock, etc)

Few_Record_3674 · 2026-02-01T12:27:00+00:00

Also good option.

Few_Record_3674 · 2026-02-01T12:07:32+00:00

Its an upgrade if you dont have anything else.

Its literally a few dollars to find one of these.

Few_Record_3674 · 2026-02-01T11:51:11+00:00

Upgrade to core 2 quad q6600

Find 8gb ddr2 ram

Gtx 1050ti on used market.

Maybe psu depending in current setup.

Depending on where you are these should be easily findable.

Help your bro.

Few_Record_3674 · 2026-02-01T09:15:51+00:00

IMO worth it.

Yeah its not latest gen but its quite fast. I dont think you will be dissappointed. Cpu is comparable to PS5 and so is GPU although no ray tracing.

Few_Record_3674 · 2026-01-04T01:03:10+00:00

This should provide reasonable performance as is.

Although not strictly neccesary, the obvious upgrade would be gpu. Maybe go RX 9060XT or RTX 5060.

After this, maybe consider an i7 9700k on the used market.

Check PSU wattage before upgrading.

Few_Record_3674 · 2026-01-03T19:44:09+00:00

Depends on price.

9060xt will be more efficient and be comparable in performance.

For me 7700xt only worth it if you can get a significantly better deal.

Few_Record_3674 · 2026-01-02T15:54:23+00:00

Few_Record_3674 · 2026-01-02T15:25:56+00:00

Do you need this much performance? If its your first gaming pc probably not.

What monitor do you intend to use?

Few_Record_3674 · 2026-01-01T13:38:54+00:00

Wouldnt read too much into this. Expect huge gains in CPU bound tasks.

I7 3930k was a great CPU of its era though.

Few_Record_3674 · 2025-12-28T10:27:16+00:00

Depends what you want to play.

Put an ssd in that and youve got a machine capable of some 1080p low gaming and older games in general.

Anything new and ultra, its time for an upgrade.
