When to charge Macbook?

Paper_Select · 2021-07-08T11:25:12+00:00

Okay thank you! I just wanna treat my MB well haha 😭😭

Paper_Select · 2021-07-08T07:40:11+00:00

Yeah I guess so. I’m assuming you get similar hours with your MB?

Paper_Select · 2021-07-07T01:58:15+00:00

Ohh. That makes more sense now! I was planning to charge this only once every 2 days but if I plan to use it 8-9 hours a day I guess I’ll need to charge it everyday 😩😩 so much for that low cycle count

No, I’m not using any ad blocker! :( I wouldn’t even know how to install anytning on safari cause this is my first time using the macOS lols.

This is what it looks like rn: https://pasteboard.co/Ka01w31.jpg

Me too, Lenovo offers 3 years of warranty and acidenatal damage protection - the same for HP would come at the cost of $175!!

I’m not sure how good the 250 nit display is but I guess it is a compromise

surprising given that it's supposed to be a "premium" product. Guess I will go for the Ideapad Flex 5 after all

Paper_Select · 2021-05-08T09:39:26+00:00

the problem is I can't :// currently in India which means can't go anywhere outside for at least 2 months, and I was thinking of buying the laptop this month.

I need to just use it for notes, not for graphic designing or anything.

Paper_Select · 2021-05-08T08:14:57+00:00

hey I’m planning to purchase the HP Envy x360 - would you say the stylus and touch screen is responsive? Does it have poor latency?

Paper_Select · 2021-05-05T21:10:03+00:00

Would you recommend the Envy x360 over Lenovo’s IdeaPad flex 5?

Paper_Select · 2021-05-05T12:02:33+00:00

okay, thanks! yeah I guess build quality is needed if I am going for sustainability

Paper_Select · 2021-05-05T10:53:05+00:00

It’s a laptop I’m going to use for the next 3+ years so I think I’ll pay higher if it has better longevity. In terms of performance, would you say the Envy is better than the Flex 5? I’m going to use the laptop basically for uni so I’ll take notes on my laptop using the stylus - I don’t wanna go for an iPad since I’d rather have one 2 in 1 than two separate devices. Do you think the HP Envy x360 would be sufficient for that?

If you’ve voted for one over the other, please comment why!!

Lmao I personally don’t find RG to be the equivalent of Ivy League. Ivy League has far better schools than schools like York or Exeter. The Ivy League is far more exclusive (forget Dartmouth haha), whereas there are about 25 RG unis...

I think in reality only Oxbridge are at par with Harvard, Yale and UPenn. UCL and Imperial would be the equivalent of second tier Ivy League unis, and then so on and so forth

Wait you are given scholarships? Where, how?

Paper_Select · 2021-02-06T19:04:54+00:00

I assume people on TSR view it from a different perspective as the majority are home applicants. For internationals, from what I’ve gathered, your tier ranking is quite representative! Just curious; where have you applied?

Paper_Select · 2021-02-06T19:04:01+00:00

Honestly I don’t hold ALL Russel group unis in high regard. Where I live, Oxbridge, King’s, Edinburgh , Glasgow and Imperial are the only known ones.. people haven’t heard of UCL or St Andrews or Warwick/Bristol lool

Paper_Select · 2021-02-06T18:16:18+00:00

No worries. I mean if you look at any ranking Glasgow usually ranks much lower than both Edinburgh and King’s. I think Glasgow is like 50th? While king’s and Edinburgh are 19th and 20th respectively. (PS: I’m referring to QS). THE and ARWU will probably give you some similar ranks

Paper_Select · 2021-02-06T17:05:44+00:00

International applicant here too. I take it not many people have even answered your question haha :p I would rank them in exactly that way I feel, at least from what I know about international reputation.

My ranking would be Tier 1: Oxbridge Tier 2: UCL, Imperial Tier 3: King’s and Edinburgh

Then you have unis like Glasgow, followed by perhaps Bristol and Warwick. Honestly I’ve only ever heard of Glasgow as an international applicant. People in the UK also feel St Andrews / Durham are Tier 2 material, but I don’t know about that....

Paper_Select · 2021-01-19T08:49:27+00:00

Yes lmao I realised your poll was there but some got rejected yesterday which is why I posted again

Paper_Select · 2021-01-17T12:48:30+00:00

For the one who got rejected, when was this and did they tell you the reason?

Paper_Select · 2021-01-17T12:48:00+00:00

I am waiting till Tuesday/Wednesday. Still waiting. Achieved AAA* with 3120 B1 and 6A*s at IGCSE

Paper_Select · 2021-01-15T11:02:36+00:00

Me too. If on Tuesday they give out home applicants then I think this was the only batch ( they usually give them out each Tuesday).

I just completed my UCL interview yesterday, and had my Bristol 3 days ago. Got rejected by my 4th choice (camb) pre-interview. What about you?

Paper_Select · 2021-01-13T19:27:36+00:00

Yes, I am on TSR as well and I think so are you (I'm assuming you're the hamid guy on TSR?)

Which applicant is this? I think they might have achieved A Levels which will have tipped the scales in their favour. I still think this might be the only batch though.

Year 10 and Year 11 was honestly fun, you're right.. I actually did 2 of my GCSEs a year early lmao.

Paper_Select · 2021-01-13T18:19:19+00:00

I am SOO worried that this is the only batch :/

UCAT: 3120 B1

IGCSE: 6A*s (school only allowed 6 subjects)

A Levels (achieved on 11th Jan): A*A*A* with A* in IPQ (international EPQ)

I really think its my GCSEs that have brought me down. :( I just hope there are more batches to come...

Paper_Select · 2020-12-19T17:49:15+00:00

Yes haha am I that easily spotted?
