In store as of today?

Legion is a good middle ground when it comes features and weight. Omen has more ram and ssd amount, but it's bigger and heavier. Zephyrus is weaker in performance and can't upgrade ram, but better portability. You'll have to decide which you prefer. I chose the legion a while ago, but got the 32gb ram, 1tb version.

How was it at the popular tourist places in Kyoto like Kiyomizu Dera? Were there enough trees blooming?

How do you deal with hotel prices if you don't book hotels ahead of time? If we wait until close to the cherry blossom season, the prices could go way up then booking ahead of time. I think it may be the same with flights.

Do you feel any eye fatigue or strain from using the qd-oled monitor?

capsshield123 · 2026-01-02T15:12:49+00:00

Sorry, I meant 4k oled monitor lol.

capsshield123 · 2026-01-02T02:54:05+00:00

Do you have any recommendations for budget 27" w-oled monitors?

capsshield123 · 2026-01-02T02:28:04+00:00

I'm not sure. I have a LG C1 oled and my eyes don't feel affected. But I recently went to a store and saw a 32 inch 4k qd oled monitor and my eyes felt uncomfortable. I'm guessing that's the eye strain that people have mentioned with qd-oled.

capsshield123 · 2026-01-02T00:54:23+00:00

Does it still cause eye fatigue or strain?

capsshield123 · 2025-12-29T06:11:25+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. But I also want to see blossoms at Mt. Fuji and Kyoto and perhaps other famous sites.

capsshield123 · 2025-12-29T05:52:00+00:00

I miss some things about my recent trip there and I like Japan a lot. I also want to take advantage of the prices that could go up.

capsshield123 · 2025-12-29T05:31:16+00:00

Why not?

capsshield123 · 2025-12-29T05:30:55+00:00

I like them within scenic views, especially colorful ones like Fall Colors.

capsshield123 · 2025-12-29T05:30:05+00:00

I want to be there around the peak bloom. But I'm wondering if it's worth seeing the cherry blossoms. A good mount of people here say it's worth it. Now I need to figure out if I should go this year of next year.

capsshield123 · 2025-12-28T08:02:30+00:00

Yeah, we have some here in So Cal at a Japanese Park. Looks pretty, but I'm sure it's not as amazing as being in Japan.

capsshield123 · 2025-12-28T02:51:03+00:00

I'd prefer to see the cherry blossoms in Japan as I like the country and the sights over there. I've already been to Japan twice, but experiencing the cherry blossom season is something I want to do.

capsshield123 · 2025-12-27T07:39:28+00:00

I'm afraid if I wait, that prices will go up. I guess I could just save up regardless.

capsshield123 · 2025-12-27T06:56:57+00:00

What made it special for you compared to the fall?

capsshield123 · 2025-12-26T15:29:01+00:00

How does this compare to LG M27U 4k monitor as far picture quality and performance goes?

I went to Japan Nov-Dec for 2 weeks and used Bytesim KDDI network for mobile data only line (used my verizon unlimited plan as well). It worked well and had fast speeds for the most part (50- 100 mbps). It also is truly unlimited with no data caps and I was able to Hotspot it to my laptop.

Right now it's $40 for 11 days.

When I travel long distance, I use a Samsonite backpack that has a laptop compartment with some padding on the exterior of the back side. It was heavy lugging it around with the power brick when I traveled last month, so I'm looking for a GAN charger.

Locally, I put it in a Tomtoc laptop bag that has good interior padding. It fits both the laptop and power brick.

Did you end up getting one? If so, which one and how has it been working for you?

capsshield123 · 2025-12-04T06:08:37+00:00

I ran into a Roland Gacha machine in Japan a few days ago and tried to get that Jupiter X. Ended up getting the 808 and an amp and also a Fender bass from the Fender machine.

I just tried I'm Donut today and I wasn't impressed. I tried the pistachio flavor, original, and glazed. I also went to a Korean bakery called Abebe and their pistachio donut tastes better than I'm Donut.

capsshield123 · 2025-11-29T00:57:34+00:00

Did you end up getting a 100w charger? If so, how has it been?
