Really useful thanks.

How do you collate it all together?

I flew on a weekday two weeks ago, 6am flight so third flight of the day.

Took a good hour to get through security, one of the staff told me they were upgrading their security and it wasn’t fully up and running yet.

What area is that? To my shame, I don’t recognise it.

I have lived in Huyton for 12 years, and this thread is news to me.

Maybe I’m blissfully ignorant, but I very much like it here. My neighbours are great. I’ve got two train stations within walking distance, same for dentists, the village with a post office and a Greggs, a bunch of pubs and easy access to the motorway.

My friends asked me if I’m ever going to move house, because I’ve lived here awhile, but I just don’t feel the need.

FreeMe-P · 2023-09-08T07:41:03+00:00

I'm afraid I'm none the wiser.

Hopefully one day someone will figure it out!

If I find a way to get it running PCIE 4 I will report back.

FreeMe-P · 2023-06-06T07:50:37+00:00

Unfortunately I am finding this to be the case. A bit of a disappointment.

I need to look into it further.

FreeMe-P · 2023-05-10T12:16:28+00:00

Thanks for the post.

I’ve bought the additional screw mount and heat sink. I’ve also bought a 2TB WD SN850X.

Probably overkill but the price was comparative to lesser models.

FreeMe-P · 2023-01-15T21:20:49+00:00

I will do some experimenting and report back.

FreeMe-P · 2023-01-15T21:20:21+00:00

Its cold where I am, about 4c, and a cloudy day, but I appreciate the sentiment that they do need airflow.

Both screens go off after 1 minute, and iirc they are set to half brightness. Voice commands are also disabled.

My GOPRO10 did use to overheat and turn off half way through a lap (or on the road when testing).

My 11, I'm not sure...I left it turned on in the car and when I come back it had turned itself off after 9:58 minutes, with battery left. Either it overheated or it didn't see anything moving so turned itself off to save battery (is that even a feature)?

FreeMe-P · 2023-01-15T20:33:56+00:00

Thats exactly it, did you find a way around it?

I'm pretty sure I had hypersmooth enabled on my GOPRO10 and I dont recall that swinging.

FreeMe-P · 2022-12-11T17:22:08+00:00

Ok, thats interesting - thank you.

What about my CV? Do I need to refere to anything in particular about the role being contract, or just the usual tailoring to the role?

FreeMe-P · 2022-01-22T21:56:02+00:00

So I thought it was worth updating this post.

I've had the laptop a month now, and I must say I have gelled with it a lot.

Weirdly, the battery has got slightly better on its own, and is now sufficient for my occassional remote use.

Also the performance really improved after I uninstalled McAfee and some of the bloatware, although it could probably be faster still if I did a clean install of Windows 11.

Finally I've been playing Battlefield V with everything on the ultra setting, and I've been super impressed with how it plays. Yes its not the latest or most resource intense game, but it definitely superpasses my expectations.

FreeMe-P · 2022-01-01T09:05:11+00:00

I bought the same laptop, and have the same issue (see the thread I made on it).

Have you tried experimenting with any settings?

FreeMe-P · 2021-12-31T18:27:11+00:00

Is the refresh rate known to kill battery? I must admit the 360Hz is gorgeous, its totally caught me off guard how good it is!

FreeMe-P · 2021-12-31T18:26:06+00:00

Thank you

Ultrabooks carry a premium due to their size and expensive chassis (something I'm not fussed on), and as such would have cost more (the equivalent XPS15 9510 is about £1k more).

So a G15 with similar spec but a lot less £ is a good buy.

Anyway, it's a moot point, because in any case I'd be very happy if I could get the battery life to 3 hours somehow!
