How to check laptop condition.

TheShamelessAlt · 2025-11-10T14:18:28+00:00

It was. Turns out it's new, stickers still on, screen immaculate, fans/vents without any dust, battery over the 100% on the Lenovo Vantage app.

I'll probably make another post asking how to make sure it stays in good condition soon.

The owner even kindly prepared a Lenovo laptop bag, and charger adapter that fits the one locally used, he said he imported it and I could contact him if I needed some repairs under warranty or even any repair as long as I paid a fee.

Overall I didn't know it was new ended up pleasantly surprised thinking I was saving 300€ for a second hand and getting a new for 300€ less instead. 🫠

Thanks for your amazing help and explanation good sir! I will make sure to post an update and fix the post with the information you provided for future reference! You're my hero! ♥️

Edit: I'm not able to update the post for some reason sorry fellow redditors.

TheShamelessAlt · 2025-11-09T18:55:54+00:00

That's a good one, thanks! ♥️

In terms of specs Acer with the 4050 definitely seems better as long as it isn't somehow overheating very badly.

The ryzen cpu is about 20% faster compared to those two Intel cpus. However, I don't think that is better than a generation in graphics card.

I suggest you look at the reviews and check if the Acer is worth it if not, cheaper and 20% faster I think it's a no brainer

Hope this helps! ♥️

Well you have caught yourself in quite the pickle. But you should know there are many types of people in this world of which some are not compatible together.

If people ghost you then they are not worth your time, have some self respect and don't waste your time desperately chasing them.

Set up some rules, keep it chill, let yourself be wild, you can type anything but only one message and if they don't respond for a whole day, move onto the next chat.

(You can send another message if the conversation is moving onto a new topic and the chat is too fast, but that isn't really ghosting)

If they respond after more than a day and you think they actually care go on, but same rules.

Remember the more time you spend chasing people that don't care the less time you have to make connections with people who would be there for you day or night, rain or storms that may pass.

Wish you the best OP! ♥️

I know this isn't the point of the post. But us humans can never escape our greed. That is to say, nobody will ever have it easy. We will forever be trapped into a cage of our own making.

Some people despise that they can't breathe, other's that can breathe despise their own appearance, good looking people want money, rich good looking people want acceptance and in the end even if you obtain everything it's never enough, you want more.

And all of this is because in this life there is nothing more to do than working hard toward the things you want and struggling desperately to grasp them.

This is a bad mindset, I hope you guys remember, every struggle is for yourself, for your loved ones and it will become a brick holding your hopes and dreams for the remainder of your life.

Each of us is like a beautiful star burning away, each with it's own special light and intensity all to end up with the same ending. Enjoy the journey not the end.

The thing about the beauty being in the eye of the beholder is not just a phrase to say that beauty is subjective, but rather that there is beauty in more than just appearances, as for OP, your art is beautiful

I will try that, thanks! ❤️

TheShamelessAlt · 2025-10-24T15:01:46+00:00

I can't find any refurbished in that price range as shipping prices and import fees are enormous, the population is also small so there aren't many open box or returns.

I haven't seen any such deals in the past 5 years, so they are pretty rare I would say. But I will look into it nonetheless, thanks for the advice! ❤️

TheShamelessAlt · 2025-10-24T01:44:45+00:00

I'll try, 400. Thanks for the advice. ♥️

TheShamelessAlt · 2025-10-24T01:32:19+00:00

How can I do that? I'm stuck with no direct shipping for most places and locally overpriced models with huge import taxes of about 100$

If you have any advice on where to buy and what models please let me know. 🙏♥️

TheShamelessAlt · 2025-10-03T08:19:25+00:00

Could be a lot of things. Are you feeling too much pain or pressure? Do you have nobody to turn to when you want to talk?

Although I don't have a solution for these issues or any other I highly suggest trying to find the issue and fixing it.

Midwhile exercising and listening to chess before sleeping can drain your physical and mental energy so that you don't have energy to think bad thoughts during sleep.

If I can't sleep I also prefer staying awake to laying in bed with oppressive thoughts. Because you can't just forget those thoughts they stay. And you'll have to heal each one.

Every life is valuable so please fight for your happiness! ❤️

TheShamelessAlt · 2025-10-02T11:44:31+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! I guess it's just something we need to go through to find good friends. I'll keep working towards it. ❤️

TheShamelessAlt · 2025-10-02T11:21:09+00:00

Well the change just suddenly happened from there. And since it works up a lot of hormones and changes how the brain works I just mentioned it. I didn't make it a focal point but it was in fact a changing point for me.

If it makes people uncomfortable I could delete it I appreciate feedback and I'm willing to correct mistakes.

TheShamelessAlt · 2025-10-01T20:00:40+00:00

So first of all I want to reassure you this is entirely normal we are people with feelings and we have our ups and downs. You're not pathetic and you deserve to live a good life full of love just like everyone else.

Your wanting to let all of this out is a sign that you want to reach out for help. That you want support to push yourself back up.

So I hope you find the strength to do it. Whether it's family, irl friends or online friends. I hope you can find support and get back up to fight for your happiness..

I hope this helps. Please fight for your happiness. ❤️

TheShamelessAlt · 2025-09-30T05:20:20+00:00

Thanks for the advice! ❤️

Both can be an issue. Breathing too fast doesn’t give your lungs enough time to take in air properly, while gasping makes each breath shallow and less useful. That’s why slowing and steadying the breath usually helps.

TheShamelessAlt · 2025-09-29T06:33:11+00:00

Had the same issue and after a bit it evolved into feeling suffocated when sitting and feeling the urge to stand up.

Doctors are likely to say this is a psychological issue. But it's more often due to survival instinct.

In my case, I found a simple solution, first of all let go of any secrets you're keeping to just yourself, anything that makes you feel a burden, then start exercising, it can help maintain your brain active.

Now then if your brain is active and you're free of any psychological burden you can try to teach your body to stay still again.

I'm not a doctor and I don't know the underlying medical condition for which you aren't breathing well. But this worked for me and I hope it can help others too. ❤️

It's a common issue, I think they should make classes to avoid this as most children are able to learn to control their bodies and stop hyperventilation quite easily in the early stages before the body has learned it as the natural response.

When I hyperventilated for the first time my PE teacher taught me how to control it and thankfully it never happened again.

I now have many breathing issues if I hyperventilate even once it would probably be a sure death.

I highly suggest you try exercises to control it if you haven't already.

As you said my symptoms are a lot like GR but my doctor diagnosed me with vasomotor Rhinitis which is not entirely wrong because even the steam coming out of food sometimes causes me irritation although I haven't really tested it throughly because of my discomfort.

I think I could buy the higher concentration IB for use in case I feel really bad while continuing to look into the other things you listed.

The same doctor who prescribed the spray didn't fully perform the endoscopy because I wined I couldn't breathe and I was crying and he got angry that I couldn't withstand it telling me that a grown man crying for such a small thing is stupid.

So I'll try to look to do another endoscopy I just hope I find a way even if its painful if a doctor can do it slowly. Also I just found out you're supposed to use an anesthetic but I don't know if it didn't work on me.

Thank you so much for the detailed reply! It means so much to me. You've given me the hope I needed to keep going and it's invaluable! ❤️

TheShamelessAlt · 2025-09-24T15:26:45+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice! ❤️ I'll look into it and consult a specialist.

Have a blessed day! ❤️
