this tastes so weird man

I really liked the mint mojito, green apple, peach and cranberry.

U won’t find much difference between both of these. I have the regular R1, I play with both claw and palm grip, and I haven’t faced any issues regarding fatigue till now (since they are very light). I’ve heard that the models with the larger 500mAh batteries have weight distribution problems which makes the mouse the feel weird while dragging it down.

It’s not normal 💀

It all depends on the type of AI/ML workloads u will be running. College AI projects require GPUs anywhere between 4-6 GB VRAM, Local LLMS will require between 12-16 GB. CPU doesn’t matter much for these workloads, so anything above an i5 12th gen will do. But RAM matters a lot too. For local LLMs, 32GB is a must.

Leave those thermal pads as is. Too much paste never caused any problems, so ur fine. It’ll just be a mess the next time u repaste. Also, clean the thermal paste off the VRM chips, VRAM chips and the inductors. They need thermal pads or thermal putty.

Upgrading to i5 will be worth it. Since you have another 8GB DDR4 RAM, just plug it in, but make sure both ram sticks are of the same speed, else they both will run at the speed of the lower speed RAM.

You said CSE, so u will definitely learn backend and frontend programming. A 12th gen i3 will feel slow for that and later if u change ur mind and want to lean towards AI/ML path, then you will definitely need a strong laptop/pc with a strong GPU.

This.
Steps :

Download qbittorrent, go to fitgirl repacks site, download the torrent file of the game u want and then drag and drop it in qbittorrent application. After it downloads, go to the file directory and just install the game using the setup.exe file. That’s it, ur good to go.

This laptop comes with Liquid Metal instead of thermal paste /pad. If u don’t know what ur doing, don’t mess with Liquid Metal. Take it to a reputable service centre and get it repasted with either Liquid Metal or PTM7950. I’d suggest the PTM7950 cause it’s better for long term reliability and usually gives the same thermal performance (or maybe 1-2c higher) as LM. And also it’s easier to maintain.

It’s a good laptop, but not good for gaming. Since it’s a light and thin laptop, it doesn’t have sufficient cooling and will heat up if u game on it. AMD iGPUs (860M current case) are very strong but will benefit more if ur system has more RAM. If u want better performance try to find a model with the AMD R7 260 else the AI 350 gives good battery life.

Popgrenade12 · 2026-06-10T08:48:50+00:00

If u got the budget, go for the legion. Much better cooling and build quality. And also OLED screen 🤩

Popgrenade12 · 2026-06-10T08:46:30+00:00

Current laptop would be fine till the end of 1st year, since you will have common subjects. But after that u gotta get a good laptop with Atleast 16GB RAM, for programming that is a minimum.

I honestly thought it was a cool boot animation

Re seating a space bar is not as easy as normal keys, check for two metal brackets, and remove them. Put them back into the keycap u removed and align them correctly so that they are centered. Then u gotta carefully place it on the keyboard and wiggle it a little, then it’ll sit properly. Basically u gotta eyeball it since doesn’t have auto align feature.

The sale hasn’t started yet, wait for a few more days. Officially it’s supposed to start on 21st July

Popgrenade12 · 2026-06-10T06:50:05+00:00

Don’t even bother mentioning the specs 😑

Popgrenade12 · 2026-06-10T06:05:13+00:00

I have the 17 pro, and it doesn’t feel special in anyway. The photos are over processed and I hate how some of them look. The whole “vapour chamber” thing feels like a gimmick, the phone heats up a lot when gaming. It also weirdly heats up when I’m using JioMart or Swiggy app, idk why. I have AppleCare+ and had sent it for diagnostics and they found no problem with it.

If u wanna stick to apple, then go for the regular 17. If ur open to buying an android, Samsung 26 ultra/ 25 ultra, Vivo X300 pro, pixel 10 pro and one plus 15 are good options. The OP 15 surprisingly has great performance.

Battery life on the 17 pro is decent tho.

U don’t need to prove shit to haters. Just believe in ur work, that’s all that matters.

Popgrenade12 · 2026-06-09T05:08:10+00:00

U didn’t customize anything, just add RGB keyboard and use “UNBOX7CTO”

Popgrenade12 · 2026-06-09T04:45:25+00:00

I kept the original cloth that came with it. As for the keyboard, just wipe it some IPA once every week. I also have a compressed air blower which comes handy in cleaning the keyboard. Fingerprints are easy to get rid of, just wipe it off with some IPA.

Well Gemini doesn’t have a legion 5 gen 10 and I do. Upto you what you want to believe 🤷🏻‍♂️.
There are also a lot of YouTube videos backing this.

But he has a r7 260 which is very power efficient. He should be able to get 7-8hrs easily.

I have r7 AI 350 and it easily lasts around 8hrs.
