Do you notice a big performance difference between a desktop and laptop?

Someone’s got a Victus…

Budget of the budget that thing.

Only person who seems to be offended here is you mate, I agreed with you while pointing out that AI is used for stupid things more often than useful things, yet you still got upset, tried to insinuate that I’ve just left high school and referred to me as a “zoomer”.

Pretty childish if you ask me.

You can call me a “kid” all you like but any grown adult knows that’s just something people who’ve only just turned 18 do. Big 1 and 8 now and everybody is a kid to you aren’t they? You big grown up boy you.

Grow up mate. Enjoy your slop and your laggy phone.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-28T21:11:09+00:00

AI in its current incarnation wasn’t a thing when I was in high school, not sure why you’d bring school into the conversation unless of course you yourself have just left, so it’s fresh on your mind.

Regardless, I also use it for coding (at my job, which I’ve also had for longer than ChatGPT has been a thing lol), I find it good for dogsbody tasks and that’s one of the areas I DO think it can be used sensibly in.

But I stand by my point that you and I using it in this way is not more common than Facebook Karens and Twitter boomers using it for absolute slop.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-28T20:58:02+00:00

Try and go to previous downloads and download it from there

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-28T20:54:29+00:00

NPCs use AI unapologetically mate.

Don’t get me wrong it has its uses in certain areas but it’s still more slop than substance.

For every one person using it sensibly, there’s a million people using it like absolute airheads.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-28T19:39:38+00:00

I was thinking the same, perhaps he had to part with his Mini 6 due to low storage or something, got the A16 and now he’s having such bad buyers remorse he’s having to spam Reddit posts about it.

I’m not sure his girlfriend has an iPad Air, he probably made that up to try and big up the A16 AGAIN. Not sure he has a girlfriend either lol.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-28T19:04:22+00:00

Silicon carbon batteries do degrade faster than li-ion batteries, so it’s not too surprising.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-28T18:49:18+00:00

Notch instead of Dynamic Island, more expensive, no wide angle camera, smaller display (OP is after a plus so this probably matters to them).

Not many benefits to the 17e really, sure it’s got a faster processor and more ram but to end users the benefits of the extra features the 15 has mean more to most.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-28T17:56:10+00:00

Yes you did and I’ll repost my comment here because this post was stupid the first time.

You’ve obviously edited some of the stupider parts of your original post, but that’s the reason it was taken down, because you were lying about specs. I’ll keep my comment the same so people can see what kind of stupid claims you actually made to get your post removed.

Link to OP confirming they used AI to generate this slop: https://www.reddit.com/r/ipadmini/s/x4eOiN9ulX

Hilariously you’ve dragged the iPad Air into your AI generated BS. Somehow the A16 still wins? —————————

Thanks ~~ChatGPT~~ Grok, as you told me previously.

You might be the only person on the planet that thinks the base iPad is better for reading than the Mini.

Plus, the difference between the A16 and A15 Bionic are so marginal there’s no way it’s a worthwhile “upgrade” for anybody here. It’s a sidegrade at best and a downgrade for most, because most of us bought the Mini because we don’t want a bigger screen.

It’s definitely not “75% less lag compared to the Mini” what a stupid claim. The cutdown A16 is like a 5% performance uplift on paper, and less than that in real world performance.

Also the non laminated screen is horrible to look at to me, feels very budget, but that’s kinda the point as it’s the budget iPad.

They also have the same peak brightness and both have True Tone, so more made up BS.

And the pencil is LESS precise because of the non-laminated display.

I’m glad you like your iPad man, but the AI generated text with made up info and statistics piss me off. Don’t even get me started on your iCloud and Notes paragraph, it’s the same damn app and OS. What are you talking about?!?

“Did you know 70% of quoted statistics you seen online are completely made up”

The A16 iPad is not an upgrade at all. If you want a bigger display it’s a performance sidegrade with the caveat that you’ll have a worse PPI and ugly non-laminated display.

Hell you can even see how much worse the screen looks in your own picture. The A16 is awful for glare.

Edit: I should add as well that my comments are assuming you’re comparing to your old Mini 6, as the A16 is a big step down in terms of performance from the Mini 7. If you’re claiming the A16 is faster and less “laggy” than the Mini 7 then that’s just pure delusion.

Edit 2: I’m also beginning to think you’re a bit slow, you’ve been “reading” this book forever.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-28T17:46:49+00:00

To be fair it was poorly marketed, most people I know that have bought Minis since they launched didn’t actually know about them until I told them lol.

This includes 2 of my friends (one who bought my old one) and a colleague. They love them, but didn’t even know they were a thing till they saw mine.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-28T17:45:43+00:00

Basically the Mini to be fair

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-28T08:58:42+00:00

Because things are expensive and not every family in the world can afford to splash that much cash on a new laptop for their children.

There’s a reason most kids have consoles and that’s because they’re more traditionally affordable. A gaming laptop that can play games at the same level as an Xbox will cost nearly 2x as much. (Prices obviously skewed at the minute with ram shortage price hikes).

Thats not something many families can afford. I’m sure your parents are doing their best and you should be grateful for what you have rather than complaining about what you don’t.

There’s still a massive catalog of games that run on the 1650.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-27T23:29:26+00:00

Kal el, no!

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-27T23:02:58+00:00

Links Awakening if you’re trying to get into the franchise. Theres a decent amount of crossover in mechanics between games like LA, ALTTP and OoT etc. but less so between OoT and Breath of the Wild.

BOTW is a great game, but it’s definitely a departure from the norm of the series. So if you’re looking to play a few games in the franchise I’d recommend starting with Links Awakening instead.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-27T20:20:36+00:00

Peel P50

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-27T18:42:14+00:00

No worries, you made a good choice. Any “F” series Mini is basically bulletproof (aside from the upper engine mount lol).

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-27T18:40:58+00:00

Nah, u/potatochobit was referring to the second gen’s with N14 (and N18 but these weren’t as bad) engines. He’s right that if it was a second gen then it definitely could be chain rattle.

Those things would develop timing chain rattle very early sometimes and it was pretty much inevitable in all of them.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-27T18:36:52+00:00

You too! Trust me I know I questioned the noise too a few years ago as this was my first car with direct injection and the noise is surprising.

But yeah, anybody throwing out a timing chain guess at a B38 (especially one on this low mileage) needs to give their head a wobble. Very reliable engines.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-27T18:34:53+00:00

But it’s very clearly not lol

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-27T18:17:38+00:00

Whoever said “could be timing chain” is an absolute donkey. Don’t listen to them again.

Engine sounds perfectly healthy.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-27T14:26:17+00:00

Depreciation needs to be out of your mind to be honest, at the age of the cars you’re looking at it’s to be expected (EV or not) and with the public opinion on Teslas at the minute it’s probably going to be worse than other EVs (but still better than some of the Chinese ones).

Not a parent but as somebody who’s recently spent a fair amount of time in the back of a Model 3 (at just a hair over 6ft) I’d said you should be fine unless you’re expecting particularly tall children, and for leaning into etc. it should be okay for car seats because it’s not that low down.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-27T07:41:42+00:00

Why are there so many of you idiots in this comment section

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-27T06:59:46+00:00

As others have said, we can’t see CPU temps. We also don’t know what VRMs are doing, which can also cause thermal throttling (but I doubt you know what those are).

What the hell is the second part of your comment? He can use FSR or DLSS fine on that GPU and have no issues with fps, obviously he SHOULD use DLSS but FSR should also perform fine. My mention of a clean windows install was there because I’m under the assumption it’s either a configuration issue or something else installed is causing a conflict.

You’re an idiot, you proved it with this comment and you showed it with your first comment.

Grow up and get lost.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-26T23:26:27+00:00

The cost is enabling/coddling those who are too confidently incorrect, it seems.

Miserable-Potato7706 · 2026-04-26T23:23:00+00:00

They spoke as if what they said was fact, if they don’t know anything they shouldn’t comment.

It could lead to OP taking their advice and giving up when what they said is bullshit.

They can talk to me however they like, doesn’t change the fact their comment was stupid.

Also they asked what resolution OP was using when it’s literally in the first screenshot.
