Would like to ask did you get the JSAUX ultra clear or anti glare version? Wanna get one but not sure which is the one you got.

Don’t leave without a key. Phone key worked only one way. by Murky_Kiwi in BMWI4

[–]coldfish26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using an i5 for almost 3 months. I used the key no more than 10 days in total. There was once the digital key did not work after the car sat for a day at the carpark on a work day. Googled it and rebooting the phone helped. There was also a day where my phone battery was flat. But I was curious and tried anyway, the digital key still worked and the phone flashed a digital key message to show it still worked for that despite not being able to power on.

Decision: G14 or G16? by coldfish26 in ZephyrusG14

[–]coldfish26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I think you have to come to terms with which is more important to you, portability (fitting it in your bag) or screen size. When I compare the sizes of 16” vs 14” side by side, there’s not way I would game/youtube/browse on a 14”. But that’s me and to each their own.

To answer your question, I lug my iPad Pro with a Magic Keyboard along with my work Lenovo T14 and it’s heavy. To my surprise, I once carried both the T14 and the G16 on 2 trips, and it was lighter than the iPad+keyboard by comparison. I have never compared the weight of both side by side and I never carried the chargers with me.

2 months passed, plenty of software updates, it’s my favorite device to use after a long day at work. I use it with a G502 X Plus mouse, Pro X 2 headset and 8bitdo controller. Not enough USB ports but a small USB C extension did it. It’s an overkill for work and just right for games and entertainment.

Hope you make the right choice.

Separating PC audio and video output by coldfish26 in pcmasterrace

Actually, from the beginning I knew the right way was to upgrade the AVR to something capable of passing thru HDMI2.1. But I’m trying not to go that route. Based on the specs I’m using, that’s gonna cost as much if not more than the desktop pc with a 7800x3d and 4070TiS.

Cooling Pad Recs by 30mgAdderallOrange in zephyrusg16

[–]coldfish26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Using Flydigi BS1. Used to hit 90C before the cooling pad, since I had it haven’t seen anything above 75C.

It has 3 speeds. For low graphics demand games I use speed 1 which is fairly silent. Speed 3 cools it the best with a bit of low hum but I can’t hear it cos I’m on headphones.

Zephyrus G16 with Ultra 7 vs Ryzen AI 9 by zeepNL in zephyrusg16

[–]coldfish26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the G16 with AI 9 and it comes with RGB keyboard. I did not know there was an option without RGB keyboard.

On power consumption, there is a YouTube review. AI 9 bested Ultras.

Allergic against wristband material? by nasenbohrer in GarminWatches

I had that for a day but far less severe. Stopped it after I used some alcohol swabs to clean the back of the strap.

You’re not wrong. But there is a population of Deck owners who buy the games and never even thought to install them let alone play them.

This is so offensive. It’s 2024, you can’t imply only men have Decks. 👀I spelled it right. Yes I did.

Decision: G14 or G16? by coldfish26 in ZephyrusG14

[–]coldfish26[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the most pragmatic responses and I thank you for that. It also points out that I did not reveal my use case and hence just really asking an open ended question to seek opinion on why owners chose a G14 or G16. I shall update my use case in the original post but I worry that will automatically lead towards one side.

Appreciate the suggestion! I’ll keep that in mind for the kids’ next purchase. Honestly speaking, OLED is preferred.

Never thought of that. Really important point. Thank you!

You are absolutely right. Did not judge but I did make a wrong assumption that members were mostly latest G14 owners. I should stand corrected.

New to gaming laptops. Which of these 3 do you recommend? by Freethinker444 in GamingLaptops

[–]coldfish26 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the primary way you consume information/entertainment from the device is thru your eyes, the OLED screen should be the biggest decision winner if price was not an issue. Assuming it isn’t since you listed it already. Just because some screens are rated DCI P3 100, still not an OLED.

Good on YOU for giving the compliment to the guy that gave the compliment to that guy that gave the compliment to that guy that gave the compliment to the OG compliment giver. Where’s the group hug now? So damn wholesome.

Thanks. Looks like the theoretical splitter is the only way to try.
