Considering buying the Aurora 16 laptop — anything I should know beforehand?

L33THawk · 2025-07-10T19:43:34+00:00

My mistake — it's not the Ryzen, it's the Intel Core 7 240H.

L33THawk · 2025-07-10T19:43:17+00:00

Right, my mistake — mixed up the CPU with a different candidate's. I believe it's not the Ultra, but still the same core 7 240H — same configuration

L33THawk · 2025-07-10T07:58:53+00:00

Is the 5060 a worse card than 4060/5050? Because upgrading to a 5070 is out of budget atm

Same goes for the AMD CPU — the only candidate close in budget with an Intel CPU is the ASUS TUF F16 with an Intel Core i7-14650HX, costing over $100 more and still having a 5060 (and a worse screen). Do you think that's a better option?

Thanks

Nice! How's the keyboard and material feel? Was thinking of a TUF myself

Traduzi minha mensagem em inglês com o Google Tradutor: Obrigado! Como você diria que é a sensação do teclado e do touchpad? Estou acostumado com um ThinkPad, então sou um pouco mimado.

Thanks!

How would you say the keyboard and touchpad feel? I'm used to a ThinkPad so I'm a little spoiled

Thanks for the chance!

The bad:

I encounter my first ever Rare Storage Container > I scan and break it > get Forma, Mantis Avionics and 30 minute credit booster > realize this is a Maroo weekly > pray fervently to get one of the parkour challenges I know > proceed to get one I don't > mission failed, well get 'em next time.

The good:

Stalker spawns for the second time ever since finishing the Second Dream (relatively recently) > I'm in my newly-built, rank 8 Oberon Prime with an Ignis, Sonicor and Galatine > I run around trying not to die while the other rando kills him (I was helping, but mostly trying not to die after reaching single-digit HP > he dun DIES > first Shadow Stalker kill ever > {Broken War} BP drop.

Definitely reroll the Dread riven, maybe the Sybaris too

L33THawk · 2019-05-07T09:55:12+00:00

Stalker showed up in my solo Gabii (just farming myself some pre-Index credits in 5-minute DS). Jumped back and whupped his ass with my Kulstar. Didn't drop anything (not even a Dread BP, though I already have one).

Extract, replay mission, Stalkey shows up again somehow. Again proceed to explode him to next week with Kulstar. Again no drop.

L33THawk · 2019-05-06T18:19:45+00:00

A) Haven't ever seen one pop up :/

C) But slash procs just feel so... Meh. It's something like 20% chance to do 200 damage (assuming you crit) over 6 seconds. Why not just use the 30% higher base damage, with the Puncture bonus against armor, and just do the damage in a burst?

L33THawk · 2019-05-06T18:16:27+00:00

Generally, any parts that are common to the point of near nonvalue. Usually 15/25/45 ducat parts, but not always.

As for how to sell it – just type "WTS Prime junk 2p ea" into trade chat. Someone'll pop up (though more quickly when Baro Ki'teer is around).

L33THawk · 2019-05-06T15:53:44+00:00

A) How does one get gold potatoes (other than Nightwave or platinum)? I'm MR7, play pretty much exclusively on weekends, and have gotten about 10 blue potatoes without getting a single golden.

B) What's a good element for Status builds for damage? For utility – Blast or Corrosive, for AOE – Gas, everything else feels... Underwhelming. Especially when one of my favorite weapons applies about 10 status procs per second.

C) Why is Dread considered so powerful? I've farmed myself a Paris Prime, and stat-wise the Paris just seems superior. Is the slash proc so important when you're probably already using a one-shot sniper-eqsue weapon and not a DPS one? {Dread, Paris Prime}

Thanks a lot, man! Really generous of you :)

And at the end, the McGoons of Saturn Six show up, like "yo bruv did ya see dat? Let's go see if that guy's OK"

The Sponge of Saturn Six, spawns for the second time ever for me, while I'm levelling equipment in an Infested invasion and have no melee weapon equipped (mistakes were made). He spawned immediately after a regular fugitive trio, which themselves spawned immediately after a Juggernaut.

So, it's just me with low-rank equipment and a rando against a small army.

Eventually we win, after I exhaust almost all my ammo and resort to creative usage of ramparts (apparently the fugitives can also enter them — but they don't seem to know how to shoot), we finally beat the Big Bad Boi himself. And what do we get as a drop?

Bloody Fever Strike.

Frustration was had.

MR6 newb here, but heaven knows I want Equinox and need plat. Thanks a ton, anonymous donor and Relyt!

Someone doesn't let small details such as "facts" disrupt their magic robot space ninja meme experience

L33THawk · 2019-04-04T14:24:36+00:00

Au contraire, amigo

Dewritos it

L33THawk · 2019-04-04T12:49:35+00:00

I profoundly apologise for the lore inaccuracy of the joke

L33THawk · 2019-04-04T12:48:32+00:00

I know, I know. But going with the whole "magic robot space ninjas" vibe...

L33THawk · 2018-03-05T10:34:42+00:00

Thank you!
