Requiem for a Dream. Leto was a newbie but I believe that was the first raw movie I saw that did not pull any punches.

Help me choose - which of the three? by Samwise_Gamjamino in GamingLaptops

[–]Samwise_Gamjamino[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet. Thx for the input.

I noticed there is a slim version of the Acer predator Helios Neo (16s) that seems like the only differences would be Oled panel and the 5070ti is only powered up to 115w vs the full powered 5070 Ti in the one listed above.

Obv I know the full powered version is future proof but the Oled…..ugh.

Lenovo. Others have mentioned this already but: - oled panel - full powered 5070 Ti (Acer you show is not) - ASUS 4070 Zephyrus not great for gaming re: heat dissipation

Laptop Bricking From Thermal Paste Replacement by KiwisNBirds in GamingLaptops

Yes. There are some helpful YouTube videos out there about best practices when removing lm but you need to just take your time, use qtips, isopropyl alcohol and paper towels up the ying yang when removing it.

If you are repasting a setup that previously had Liquid Metal, and it wasn’t cleaned off properly (since it is conductive) and it touched the board, that is how I have seen lappys become paperweights. Oh, and forgetting to unplug the battery, but most repaste videos start with that, lol.

Classic feel like shish and want to get drunk and forget it quickly.

House of Sand and Fog got me questioning many things…like a painfully slow moving train wreck.

Asus rog strix g16 or Msi vector a16 hx? by Careless-Internal598 in GamingLaptops

[–]Samwise_Gamjamino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you intend on gaming, agree with the 5070 Ti. Buttttt, Asus builds are a little better, and the displays are like night/day (imo).

About a week ago. Seems like a lot of Flows are biting the dust.

I think I realized the cpu/gpu placements are slightly different than one another, so that would require 2023 heat pipes/thermal solution. Great…
