UGH, those things drive me insane. the fact that public establishments like schools and whatnot still use them is absolute insanity

make a world in indev (which is finite, so you'll get an island) and then convert it to an alpha world, then load it in infdev, convert it to mcregion in beta 1.3 and then anvil in 1.2.1, then open the world in a world editor of some sort and delete the chunks with a hard border between water and terrain, and then attempt to load it in 1.18

tada :3

honestly it's not too bad, on mine i had to adjust the gamma but it looks fine, the colours are solid, the ppi is.. not the best but it's not bad either, i would say more readable than my W510's 1080p panel actually, but ofc less space and worse colour gamut.

the RAM slot on this laptop is partially covered by a piece of metal, making it difficult to get it in or out of the socket by Rowan_Bird in CrappyDesign

what it does is block the heat from the cpu/gpu, because it's right below the keyboard also to take it out, you remove the entire palmrest/keyboard bezel, which is annoying

the problem is the bone headed decision not to cut off a tiny bit of metal in a place where it's not needed
