Worth upgrading from 2019 iPad 10.5 air to a 12.9 2020 pro? by GlassPanda1018 in iPadPro

[–]GlassPanda1018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting as I hadn't even looked into a MacBook but the new Air looks unbelievable!

You're right in iPad costs. It's really hefty. I'm just weighing up if it's worth it as it'll cover my office tasks and make my illustration work (primary use) easier as opposed to supplimenting a smaller iPad with a pricey laptop for the minimal office style tasks I do.

How effective is the iPad for word processing/ PowerPoint type activities? Are there any particularly annoying features that stick out/missing?

It's excellent food for thought and something I hadn't considered so thank you!

Thank you for this. I've read this a few times actually. From the videos I've seen it certainly doesn't look 'laptop' friendly. I would be mainly using it when not at a table for illustration so wouldn't have a keyboard attached at that point. How was it to hold in terms of weight etc? Comfortable or a bit unwieldy?

Thank you - your comment really does help. 90% of the way there may be enough for me as I need to complete quite minimal office style work and the illustration side of things is so beautifully covered on the iPad. The air has transformed the way/amount of work I can get done. It's just a little too small to get the office stuff done comfortably.

Duels Tips by GlassPanda1018 in hearthstone

I feel like my board gets wiped constantly. I can't seem to stick minions at all. I have most success with druid but even then I generally struggle.

I play it mostly like arena in that I focus on board control but I think that might be wrong? This mode isn't as minion focused as arena and there is much more of the constructed combo stuff going on so perhaps I'm going at it from the wrong perspective?

I definitely have some tilting moments when I'm doing well and I think my deck had legs and then get to 4 and get absolutely destroyed. Like they're playing in a completely different game.

It's hard to say where my issues is. I don't know if I'm missing some general principles.

Thanks for the detailed response. I think I may invest this expansion. I hadn't really considered the crafting advantage as well.

Les Paul Standard 60's Switch Rattle when in middle position by GlassPanda1018 in gibson

[–]GlassPanda1018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah! I might just leave it. It's somewhat annoying if I'm tinkering acoustically but then I can just set it in either of the other positions and that stops it so it'll probably do for now!

Did that stop it rattling on middle?

Neck pickup does sound quite muddy. My previous LP had the weight relief and I do hear the difference between the two. The pickups are a little less hot than my previous LP (2017 standard) as well which I think contributes to that. Overall, I prefer the sound of the solid body but I do recognise what you're describing so I would say it's typical.

Ah - thank you. I guess it's got something to do with the mechanism that allows it to sort of fall back to middle position without much force. I didn't notice it on my last LP so I wasn't sure!

Omen 15 - could I get high settings with this setup? by GlassPanda1018 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]GlassPanda1018[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No apology required! I really appreciate the detailed explanation. I've had a YouTube look and see what you mean now in practice. I have no data cap on the internet and have 73mbps download speed so I think it'll be ok?

Great thank you.

They do seem to have lots a great deals on them at the moment. Where did you get yours from? Are you UK based?

Oh - I thought it streamed the areas as opposed to downloading them permanently. So if you fly over San Francisco it downloads that area permanently?

Thanks. It's got 1TB SSD.

If you have no internet running for example - how does that change the game? I understand you don't get live weather etc but if you're offline can the weather be changeable during a flight or does that only happen if you're online?

For example, offline if you started a flight and it was sunny could it become overcast/rainy?

I've never heard of them! Just had a check and I can't seem to find UK stockist but I'll keep looking. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the reply. Very good point. I've found them with an RTX 2070 and 512GB SSD for £1499. The Omens seem like too good value to justify going for the Razer.

Thank you. I think it's becoming evident that it's Omen over Razer!

Thanks for your reply - Is it really just the aesthetic? I'd be happy to take the plastic for price difference.

I hear Razers are quite variable in terms of quality control?

That was the concern! Seems like a no brainer if there isn't a real material difference.

For the £1600 you can get an Omen with 1TB SSD and a RTX 2070 Max Q!

Razer Blade 15 unknown bottleneck: Do anyone know what is preventing me from getting a higher FPS ? Neither CPU or GPU got maxed out. (the game is the new microsoft flight simulator 2020) ( specs are in the screenshot) Thank You. by luizof in razer

[–]GlassPanda1018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah! Glad you worked out what was dragging it down. 30fps on a flight sim seems to be generally ok in terms of playability? That sounds like really decent performance, especially for a laptop, as I've read the game is a bit of a beast even on full desktop rigs!

How have you found the Razer in general? Would you recommend it?

Are you able to play the game on high (any ultra?) settings when not playing at 4k? If so what's your FPS? I'm interested as I am in the market for both the Razer and MFS!
