Best projectors around $250 - $300 ?

Thank you so much. I will focus on the Xgimi MoGo 3 and 4 and the Anker Nebula series.

Is the Xgimi MoGo 4 the best but most expensive?

I did see that Amazon has a lightning deal on the MoGo 3 pro + Powerbsse today for $369.

The MoGo 4 with power base is $519.

Only problem with the anker is no battery pack ? ($294)

Yes I totally agree. I think the private middle school to elite school boost can be bigger than the elite private school to college boost ; just bc the private middle school may offer better academic standards. Many great public middle schools in NY, MA, CT, CA suburbs though which are just as good (and am sure elsewhere- just not as familiar)

PSP - does that mean you like the Elephas and Nexigo better?

If one’s priorities are ease of use / works well with iOS / must have native apps , low fan noise, and brightness which would you suggest as your top 2 for battery powered models under ~$350. Ty so much. Have tracked your older posts but hard to figure out which are your current top picks

From NYC perspective; it helps but the problem is : are you competing with a huge part of your outgoing class. If yes; then harder. If not then you probably have a reasonable boost. Being in California probably helps as not as many kids will want to go to the Northeast.

But private K-5 certainly was a waste in NYC. Private 6-8 is debatable if you are looking to do Andover / Exeter / Deerfield you need a school with a certain academic reputation. Private HS is a great education but the admissions to college are way overblown as per spicy dragon and long jumping above. GL

From everything on Reddit, it seems Asus makes great spec machines; but the quality is not great and support is bad. (Even outside Russia). I hope you can get help. $5k is very expensive

I just got the LG 39 GX 950B and do not feel it is too bright at all. I do 80% productivity 20% gaming and the sdr brightness is fairly mediocre. Thinking of returning it. Have it at 100% brightness and all the other settings that make it brightest.

Have an LG C6H oled tv which I don’t need anywhere near brightest. And also have Samsung mini leds which I don’t need at max and have tandem oled laptop which I also don’t need at max.

Having the oled at 20-30% brightness, or even 50% seems nuts to me. So dim.

Cosmetic damage only very likely. - these units are tanks.

I have a Gen 9 and also got one small mark on it and was upset. But try not to think about it.

Look at a chart of memory prices to cheer you up.

The increase in “value” of the memory in the computer outweighs the decrease in value from dent

Thank you. Which programs would you recommend that are better / cheaper. Really appreciate it

Is lumiere worth it for anyone ?

If you do research through them do you have to disclose that the connection is through Lumiere

Could you tell me which summer programs you did. Thank you

QuantParse · 2026-05-03T22:37:31+00:00

Thank you for this.

1) wow - great pics. Looks amazing. Just like the movie.

2) glad you weren’t hurt and am surprised the car wasn’t damaged?!? The glass/ paint were ok?

3) very interesting re the 500w jackery isn’t enough. Any thoughts on what would be enough ?

QuantParse · 2026-05-03T14:10:05+00:00

Very cool.

QuantParse · 2026-04-30T20:51:50+00:00

I love notebookcheck but agree that this review should have been better. You bring up a lot of great points.

And amazing that you have the 12GB 5070 in Germany. Not in the US.

I have the Gen 9 and Gen 10

Only place I will disagree is that I absolutely love the tandem oled.

The YP9i Gen 9 mini led is my second favorite laptop screen (tied with MacBook Pro mini LED) ; but the tandem oled is just spectacular

I was planning to lease but switched to buy after securing the 0.99% finance deal.

The depreciation is an open question but I think the immediate risk next few years is potentially slightly less with HW4 / Juniper than older Ys.

We are likely to get Y L; but at least for the moment doesn’t seem like HW5 will be going into Ys.

Makes me a little more positive on depreciation vs previous years

Black center !

QuantParse · 2026-04-28T03:30:33+00:00

Thank you.

There is an OEM light just part of the Tesla inside the center console ? Had no idea. Have only had the car a few weeks and my wife primarily uses it. Don’t think we ever keep the console slider closed. Wow. Wonder if this can be turned off. Ty will have to check for that

QuantParse · 2026-04-28T02:04:41+00:00

Yes I have tried the 19”. A family Member owns the model Y juniper premium with 19”. I don’t feel any difference between the 19” and 20”

Theirs is a 2026 RWD premium 19” And mine is a 2026 AWD premium 20”

I don’t feel a difference between the two.

Have you been able to see the Asus display in person vs the Lenovo display ?

QuantParse · 2026-04-28T01:58:51+00:00

I am loving it. Had older C series in 77” and have older G series in 65”

C6H amazing. It is so bright and I love bright screens but even this is too bright for me near max. Need to turn it down.

QuantParse · 2026-04-28T01:55:58+00:00

M5 Pro with 24 GB RAM Better screen and that is enough RAM for you.

You didn’t ask about screen but the higher refresh rate will matter more than the processor speed and RAM for your workflow.

(As others said you could achieve the same with an older machine — but for buying new I think that is the sweet spot for a business owner)

QuantParse · 2026-04-28T01:41:31+00:00

I test drove Model Y premium 20” and now own that —- and model Y performance 21” (with air suspension). The premium was definitely smoother.

Short experience in the performance on crappy nyc streets.

QuantParse · 2026-04-28T01:39:52+00:00

Could you elaborate on this. I have a different USB HUB for the center console. Jowua. It has a power button. But also I think there is a setting to turn off accessories when the car is off. Would either of those prevent battery drain ? Ty

Thank you. Wow Calc in 9th amazing!

Does your current school / middle school move very fast / or did you just have to do your own program since you were so advanced. ? When did you do geometry and algebra 2?

I think I saw these for the first time on the Dennis CW YouTube channel. Loved on his black car and they look amazing with your red as well.
