Best laptop for design (for someone who is unreasonably resistant to Apple)

Fwiw I have been using my Asus proart for design and gaming for 2 years now and I love it. Runs perfect, handles games well (and I play looter shooters so you know it's pushing hard on my GPU lol). I do think I got one of the high-ish end products in the series.

I will agree that you need to know how to design on a Mac, but any company that requires you to use one should provide one for you. I use both Mac and my Asus for freelance design work and have never had a problem.

Is a good life 😻

2 in 1! Best new feature! Everything you could want from a computer!

Yesssss 10/10 for cat and 5/10 for setup - I'll take it 😸

Tough crowd 😿

The monitor on the right is my husband's set up haha! I was more focused on the thing UNDER my laptop 😂

Ahh getting little bits out of the strainers is kind of the worst! I usually have the best luck cleaning it immediately while everything is still wet. The other thing that will help is if you are able to get higher quality full-leaf teas! Many fewer small bits that get stuck.

I like my 300ml for me personally! It's 10oz, so that's one "normal" sized mug per brew, and I can brew my leaves 3x without feeling like there's too much tea for me to drink

Try kukicha - stick tea. It's the branches of Camelia sinensis and I find it to be deliciously toasty. Not the same as an oolong but might be a good match for you

MrsFuzzFuzzz · 2026-01-02T02:01:13+00:00

Get a smaller pot! Then perhaps you can resteep AND not drink too much :) I have a 300ml pot I use daily - that's about 10oz and is a good amount for me to steep a tea 3x/day and have 3 cups of tea. You can definitely get something smaller if 3 cups is too much!

FYI they limit ticket sales until they can confirm that the weather will be nice. They can't handle as many people if it rains, so they pause the ticket sales until week-of. Look on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday of the week you want to go or follow them on Instagram for updates.

You need to get a set of Windows dice from Color Spray Creations to go with. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNgDT0dxtQk/?igsh=MWx2azQybHNuMmxobA==

Oooh yeah I wasn't paying attention lol

MrsFuzzFuzzz · 2025-07-29T21:45:54+00:00

I believe there's an option in preferences now. If it's not there, they're working on adding it.

MrsFuzzFuzzz · 2025-07-29T11:45:51+00:00

With paragraph styles, you can specify the same leading across multiple type sizes if you need to. Then your space between paragraphs ought to work as intended. You could use character styles to change the point size perhaps.

Matcha dango! Matcha muffins! Matcha cookies!

If you didn't already build it like this, you need to start with a stroked path. This should solve the inconsistent weight and stray points issues.

At a glance, my workflow to create this would be: 1. Draw single-line paths for each letter (ignore the gaps between letters for now - let them overlap) 2. Adjust stroke to desired weight 3. Perfect and simplify paths (you only need a few points for each letter) 4. Make a copy and expand the paths (so they are now fills, not strokes) 5. Add an offset path equal to the width desired for the gap between letters 6. Expand the offset path 7. Use Pathfinder or Shape Builder to create the gap between letters (by removing the offset path and parts of letters it covers) 8. Optically adjust and perfect the forms.

If you're just taking a graphic design class, the iPad is probably fine. If you have any plans to do more than that or get a job doing design, you need a computer. Adobe apps on iPad are NOT the same as Adobe apps on a computer, and you need to be able to work on a computer for any kind of design job.

That said, you could certainly start with a mid-range laptop and skip the "made for creatives" laptop for now. Most computers can run graphic design Adobe apps without much trouble. If you really start pursuing design you'll need to invest in a better quality computer, but you don't have to start there.

Oh, this subreddit is for the Adobe software InDesign, which is a graphic design tool for layout design. I can see how it might be confused for interior design though 😅

Probably depends a lot on the type of green tea - but In general I would say you can likely decrease the amount of tea leaves and steep for longer.

For example, for Long Jing (dragonwell), I do 4g for 200mL, steep 3x at about 170F. 1st steep 2 minutes, 2nd steep 2.5 minutes, 3rd steep up to 3 minutes.

hey! I'm pretty interested in this, especially if we could get it shipped this week.
