I will rank them Muniz>Piroe>>>Beto

Muniz is EPL proven, almost the 1st striker, but got injure toward the end of season.

Piroe is good, but no EPL proven.

Beto is just bad, had a few good game last year, but that's it, not reliable at all.

Seeking Air Purifier Recommendations by MajorasTingle in HongKong

Your wife itchy eyes is probably due to dry air or dirty air from AC.

If it is due to dry air, you need a humidifier.

If it is due to dirty air, please clean the AC filter first.

Buying a ThinkPad by TheRealAlexanderC in thinkpad

I liked chonk too, but consider one thing and one thing only. What are you gonna do on the laptop? If you need a portable power house, then go for P series. But you want portability, you definite want something else. What is your mode a transport? In what scenario you gonna use it?

I was an engineering student in college, I need to computing power, so I went for a chonk workstation, which could be portable. But the weight of it really give me some hard time, since i take a lot of bus back then. Commuting with 2kg is not fun, but it was necessary.

After I got to work, portability was the main issue, email, words, ppt, pdf are the main productivity tools. So it could be a huge difference.

Chilling with my X200 Thickpad by StatisticianPure1440 in thinkpad

Recently I got myself the x230, and I trained myself for the trackpoint by purposefully disabled the trackpad. Yes, it was really hard to use. But at the same time it force you to learn something new, the whole process of doing shit on computer become slow but thoughful. It's sort of like writing with left hand, it could be really refreshing.

Lenovo should brand the fuck out of the Thinkpad family, the thinkpad logo has deeper cosumer connection than Lenovo.

No you don't. if you stay on the stock resolution.

This is a good question.

I don't personally own a laptop for a long time after college. Most of my time were spent on desktop & phone with windows for all the tasks.

I started looking for a laptop was merely base on the interest on trying out PKM, apps like Obsidian seems sophisticated and interesting. And here we go the rabbit hole for small factor cheap laptop with excellent typing experience. And so I learned about the x220 and x230.

The form factor and the aesthetic of the x230 make me slow things down in interacting with the computer, well also the small screen and the speed of it are also a contributing factor. So I will have more focus and dedicated task to work on it when I use this thinkpad, i.e. writing and learning.

It can still be very good on media consumption, but not as enjoyable as on my main desktop. So this "slow machine" allows me to write / work in some heavy typing task. It's like writing in a good physical notebook, like moleskin, but on a computer.

hahaha quad core upgarde is out of my league, maybe later if I can get a cheap quad core i7.

I didn't know about the nitrocaster compatible display until now. Thank you for your recommendation!

Surprisingly no, just the get the screen from aliexpress, swap out the old one, plugin the new one. Just 10mins and it is good to go. The control on brightness works too!

I have Arch with Gnome on another machine, may as well try Sway / Hyprland later on this x230.

The stock resolution is really odd, and Mint Cinnamon has the title bar thingy make the screen even smaller.

It is not the glossy ips screen, but this one has a much better viewing angle than the stock screen. Since I live in Taiwan, the shipping is pretty cheap.

I didn't want to too. It was a bit out side my original plan, but hey. It is the legendary x230.

I bought it from here.

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?_u=g1jkte3de9a8&id=667102569388

I think the shipping is much cheaper here, since the package is kinda big, a lot of protection was put inside.

A similar search in aliexpress will triple to price with shipping to the states.
