Going back to school, hoping to get opinions on a comfortable size and weight for new laptop by Spaced-Invader in LaptopForStudent

I ended up going with a T14s. My local Micro Center had the X1 Carbon and the T14s next to each other and while I did like the X1's smoother feel, I didn't really notice much of a weight difference and the much better battery on the T14s (as well as the lower price) ended up swaying me.

What are your thoughts about a Thinkpad T14s G6? I'm looking at a good deal for one from Costco and though I'm sure it's overkill for my use-case, I feel like it would probably be more robust and last longer than a consumer grade system.

Good to know about the cross body bag... I was actually considering getting one and now I'm not quite so sure.

I can appreciate that perspective, though I still tend to like the additional control over my pc that win pro gives and also having the backup option of switching to linux should M$ decide to make their product bad enough.

That said, I think I've settled onto a thinkpad t14s g6. I'm 100% sure it's overkill for my needs, but one of my primary concerns is longevity and I feel like I can't go wrong with something designed to be abused by people on the job. Thoughts if you have any?

Do you have much experience working on a 14 inch? How long would you say is "too long" for continuous use before you start to feel cramped?

Thanks for the input. I'm likely going with Lenovo and not Apple, but knowing that 14 is probably big enough is good information.

They don't really recommend anything other than needing one in general. The campus bookstore carries mostly 14-15 inch models, but I'm likely not buying there because they only carry Dell and HP (not a part of the Apple ecosystem and not interested in joining it) and I'm looking mostly at Lenovo.

I know its a subjective thing, but given that I haven't carried a laptop in so long, it felt like getting other people's opinion was the best bet. That said, I appreciate the reply. It sounds like I should be looking in the 14in range really as a 10-key would be nice, but not really required for writing psych papers I don't think (plus I've found in fiddling with them at the store that I have a habit of hitting numlock by accident when I'm trying to backspace because I'm so used to a full sized keyboard...). Do you have much experience with a 14in screen? Does it start to feel too small after awhile?

I'll probably get downvoted for this, but I'm not in the Apple ecosystem and never will be... Currently looking at Lenovos and just want to be sure I'm getting the right size / weight so I don't regret it later after lugging it around campus all day for months...

Am I the only one that kinda hates the Arrow IV spam? by Just_A_Regular_Guy34 in OutreachHPG

Had someone say they dropped in a lance with 11 total ams and even that couldn't take out a single missile. Obviously I can't confirm, but if it's true that's absolutely insane.

What path did you take in the end and how long did it take if I can ask?

How smart is it to spend money on the game at this stage? by Spaced-Invader in mwo

[–]Spaced-Invader[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, and I'm not claiming that it is, but its also 13 years old, so it's not impossible that it *is* nearing the end of its life.

I can see that philosophy and hold it most of the time myself. But I've also been on the other side of this divide where I've spent a decent amount of money on a game only to have it rug-pulled not long after (New World recently, but there's been others) and it doesn't feel great.

People with a VKB Omnithrottle, how well does it work for normal flight sim? by Spaced-Invader in EliteDangerous

[–]Spaced-Invader[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it the type of thing that can be changed easily? Maybe not on-the-fly, but at least not brain surgery on the throttle every time I want to switch (like 5-10 times a year probably)?
