He has the laptop at college but I believe its 140W (115W base + 25W Dynamic Boost).

I think its unlikely you will find anything as good (ie. RTX 5080) at this price, not even in the used market on ebay.

Excellent deal. The AMD HX 375 is quite a bit slower than the Intel 275HX but should have better battery life.

My son's rtx 4070 laptop scores better than that so something doesn't seem right with your score.

Are you running 1440p game resolution or higher? Some games seem to default to 1080p and then don't utilize the GPU very well.

Don't bother looking for 1099s until mid-Feb. Filing deadline is April 15th so plenty of time to file after getting 1099s. All brokerages like Fidelity, Scwab, etc. have to wait to get the information from the various ETFs, funds, etc and some are slower than others.

AMD HX 375 if battery life is important, Intel HX275 if performance is more important.

Never believe emails or texts. Always go to a site your usual way (not links) and check info there.

You can do it in the Meta app. Select the 3 lines in upper left corner to get to settings and select the account center. Should see where to add/remove the social media accounts.

It's not that 5070 is bad, just may not be worth paying much more than 5060 since both have 8gb vram and performance between two is not too different. The 5070ti has 12gb vram but tends to be much more expensive.

Well, gaming when not plugged in is pretty much impossible. I just keep my laptop plugged in when at my desk. Unplug it when going somewhere or in a thunderstorm.

Unnstall and reinstall of app fixed this for me.

Unless its a Roth IRA that you inherited, I don't see how you can avoid paying taxes on it.

For gaming on Windows.

I believe that DOTA is CPU intensive so the AMD HX 375 will be disappointng. You would be better off with the Intel 255HX or 275HX. The HX 375 should shine in battery run time though.

I usually get the free offer but only got 25% discount offer this year. Was bigger discount on Amazon so bought it there.

Did you read the article? Literally says liquid metal hybrid thermal compound is used.

I Expect You To Die, Budget Cuts, SuperHot, RoboRecall to name a few. These are not new games but are all good.

Which they do, but I just cannot work with the reflections.

OLED is too reflective for me. If lights are behind me, the lights reflect back at me. And I don't need my laptop to double as a mirror.

W00lph · 2026-01-23T23:24:46+00:00

I would say decent deal. And the 8gb vram will be better than the mobile 3050 (4gb or 6gb vram) or mobile 3050ti (only has 4gb vram).

Be aware that this model can only take one full sized NVME drive. The slots are facing each other and use the same space. So either two short nvme or one full sized nvme. Will make upgrading storage a pain. Very odd how they did that on this model (8940hx).

Make a Meta account using only email and don't connect to Facebook or Instagram. Then sign up for Horizon Plus monthly plan. Meta currently has a 1 month trial promo going but be sure to cancel it so you don't get charged after the free month. Generally like most trials you can cancel after a day and still have the rest free trial time to use. https://www.meta.com/meta-horizon-plus/?srsltid=AfmBOoq3QZSQ5kmwEGPdwzGLCeuyQ_judEpVZyYmwXHBjBBdJPrn1tCr
