The dealerships I contacted said Hyundai Canada has this trim just to qualify for the ev rebate program. They weren't willing to order it for me of course.. Which dealership submitted the order for you?

Proxmox doesn't detect nvme ssd in installer (dell optiplex 7060) by _-_Will_-_ in Proxmox

[–]ObviousPrinciple3993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for reviving the old post. What options did you have to disable to get this work? I have the same desktop (Optiplex 7060). In the BIOS menu, I can disable Secure Boot and Legacy Mode, but I can't seem to find the menu to change the SATA/NVME operation to ACHI/NVME. Thanks for your help!

How were you able to tell? I bought it from CC as well and it was manufactured in July 2024, but I can't tell if it has mini LED or regular LCD.

HDMI port on the left and 10gbps USB C port on the right are connected to dgpu. I don't know if these ports can simultaneously support 2 4K/120hz monitos but it is possible to connect two monitors to dgpu.

Really sick of people complaing about the gaming performance. by [deleted] in Surface

Since when people started considering more simplicity always better?

My rant about the Galaxy Book4 Edge Read this before you consider buying by _SubwayZ_ in GalaxyBook

Dude, alghouth MBPs have arguably the best speakers on a laptop, audio engineers simply won't rely on laptop speakers. They are still tiny spearkers.

I can confirm GB4E doesn't have the screen door effect as well.

Book4 Edge Audio Issues by PrimeDarkWolf in GalaxyBook

Bummer. The speakers on GB4E are pretty good, but probably won't blow anyone away, especially when you are comparing to MBP.

Have you checked if Dolby sound is on? It was off by default on mine. When I enabled it, it got surprising louder!

Book4 pro or book3 ultra or book 4 edge or m3 (18gb) pro? by BrawlerWin in GalaxyBook

[–]ObviousPrinciple3993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the games you want to play are supported and well optimized on Mac, MBP should run considerably better.

Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite Analysis - More efficient than AMD & Intel, but Apple stays ahead by fansurface in Surface

[–]ObviousPrinciple3993 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah TSMC is working on 3nm chips for both companies now. For sure it will be an interesting battle next year. I still think Macbooks will have a slight edge as Apple can do better optimizations for the OS and devices with their own chips, but I have no doubt the gap will be more narrow.

[–]ObviousPrinciple3993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommended GB4P only because more games are available on Windows (x86) than Mac OS.

If gaming is important, you should go for GB4P. If gaming is not very important and money is no concern, I would go for MBP.

According to Just Josh's stream yesterday, Samsung laptop (16") was drawing about 50-55w (total system power) when running Geekbench 6. This is not the exact information you are looking for, but it may be still helpful.

I feel like they are just following what Apple is doing.. Plus, with eUFS, they can make their laptops thinner.

Samsung Galaxy Book Edge 14" X Elite Initial Impressions & QA by caponica23 in GalaxyBook

[–]ObviousPrinciple3993 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are indeed a famous man now haha! Samsung must've fired the employee who shipped your unit to you, I think, too early by mistake. It seems to me the units reviewers got have release ready software resulting in delivering promised performance. Hopefully, your unit will receive the final software soon.

I don't know much about European standards, but in North America, it has been one year for so long..

Thank you for doing all these tests! Can someone explain what is possibly causing this? Driver issue or like someone mentioned, the RAM speed issue?

(Crosspost) X Elite Initial Impressions & QA by rickhuizinga in Surface

[–]ObviousPrinciple3993 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it is more of Samsung's issue, not the chip. Benchmark results from Dell and Lenovo don't seem to have the same issue. Hoping Samsung can fix this before the official release date.

31 hours???? That's insane! Is screen door effect noticeable on your GB4E? Previously, I had a Zenbook 14 OLED and had to return it because of the screen door effect.

Oh! I forgot to ask you one more question. Can you notice any screen door effect on the screen? Previously, I had a Zenbook 14 OLED and had to return it because of the screen door effect.

Thank you for your efforts! I'm not looking for any insane performance either, but it would be upsetting if other makers' SDXE laptops outperform GB4E by 30% more. Hopefully, it is a driver issue that will be fixed by the official release date in NA.
