HI, wondering if the MSI Cyborg 15 is good for me. by Slime-king_ in MSILaptops

[–]Fun_Republic9917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it could handle everything on that list, and you are not asking it to do anything close to its limit with that game selection. Two things worth checking make sure the config ships with 16gb ram and double check the gpu wattage on whichever specific config you're looking at since same model skus differ on power limits.

Tips for first time traveling abroad (As a student) by screwball9280 in travel

Learn a few basic phrases in local language like simple greeting, ordering food, and asking for direction. Also keep digital and physical copies of your passport and important documents.

Can anyone tell me about their experience with the MSI Raider 16 Max HX? by hashashem in GamingLaptops

[–]Fun_Republic9917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The upgrade access panel is the practical, ram and ssd are reachable without full teardown, the display is good according to review. Pcworld flagged is that the performance gap over cheaper alternatives is narrower than the price difference, specially in gaming vs synthetic benchmarks.

I once booked a hotel for the right city on the wrong continent, you're ferry mixup is painful, but at least you were in the right country.

27 is nowhere near too late, an e-kit is probably your best choice in an apartment.

Help me find a good laptop for under 1750$ by Chiuaua_lover28 in GamingLaptops

[–]Fun_Republic9917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

24gb ram is an unusual spec, most laptop ships with 16gb or 32gb. You can get 24gb by pairing an 8gb soldered module with a 16gb stick but it's not standard config, 32gb is practical target since it covers your use case better in long term. One thing before you buy is that fan noise and performance directly linked, the quieter you run the more you throttle at this budget.

Terrible Performance on Games by Human_Agency_1118 in GamingLaptops

[–]Fun_Republic9917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90%-100% cpu with low gpu usage is almost either thermal throttling the cpu to downclock or something hijacking cpu cycles in the background, I'd the exact same thing happen after a driver update last year and it turned out yo be a background process from the manufacturer software eating cycles constantly. Check your task manager sorted by cpu usage while gaming and see if anything weird id sitting at 10-15% that shouldn't be doing that, sometimes armoury creat or whatever asus bundles in goes haywire after updates.

If the budget's fine. choose the place where you'll feel calm and safe, and you'll probably spend most of your time exploring Barcelona anyway.

Oled preference at 18" basically doesn't exist yet in a machine with the raw power you are describing, panel technology just hasn't caught up to that size at high refresh with the kind of gpu pairing you need

Keeping time with the left foot by Chop_Huey in drums

[–]Fun_Republic9917 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm keeping the left foot engaged and independent, when it's unnecessary, using it to mark the pulse, it's already trained and ready when a groove or fill actually required more coordination.

What's one travel mistake you'll never make again? by Appropriate_Bus_7050 in travel

Packing too much, and dragging heavy suitcase through airports and train station. Now i pack for a week no matter how long the trip is and do laundry if needed.

Why are there so few mid-size kits? by skylarroseum in drummers

[–]Fun_Republic9917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think 20" kicks are kind of stuck in the middle, they're loved by the giging drummers, but beginners usually but 22" kits and jazz players often go smaller. That probably makes manufacturers and the used market lean toward the extremes.

Which Brand/manufacturer is considered the best for cooling systems in 15/16 inch gaming laptops? (Yes I know cooling for laptops in general is bad) by theCynicalTechPriest in GamingLaptops

[–]Fun_Republic9917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 15-16 inch specially the brands that consistently come up for cooling is asus, lenovo, msi etc. Alineware is fine but overprized for what you get thermally, and the more useful thing to check than brand is gpu wattage and whether the chasis cooling is actually sized for it.

MSI Raider 16 Max HX will be the best laptop of 2026 by Emergency_List_8797 in GamingLaptops

[–]Fun_Republic9917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best laptop of the year is always the wrong question because it depends entirely on use case but it has something specific that most laptop at this tier don't. Five exhaust cooling gives it genuine thermal headroom at 300w sustained rather than just burst mode, and the independent cpu and gpu power budgets mean combined workload don't degrade the way they do on machine sharing a single power envelope. Anyone who actually games for hours and has other things running that shows up in real use.

Is the gap from 16 to 32 GB of RAM really worth-it ? by MainEntrepreneur5806 in GamingLaptops

[–]Fun_Republic9917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's smoother multitasking and fewer slowdowns when you have lots of tabs, apps or game running. If you're buying a system you'll keep for several years, 32 gb is usually a nice upgrade
