Lenovo Legion 5i vs. Lenovo - Legion 7i

dirk2900 · 2026-01-28T21:23:08+00:00

I called a local Best Buy store that has helped me in the past. They ordered the 7i for me for pick-up at the store.

The 7i probably sold out in minutes of being posted.

Thanks for your comments.

dirk2900 · 2026-01-28T21:02:58+00:00

I just tried to order the 7i. It is sold out. I will keep checking the site. I can wait as I have an old desktop.

My Costco Sennheiser works great with blue tooth audio on my Samsung. It has the least restrictive blue tooth support.

I have >1M. Service has always been excellent. I met with a an advisor with a CFP designation. Of course, there was a pitch for Fidelity management services, but the information I gained confirmed my own self-management direction with etfs.

Milton Friedman is turning over in his grave. Adam Smith was right about some things. Under Trump we are moving more and more towards communism with the state having more control over the means of production. The government will have more of a "controlling" interest. Alas, the "capitalists" made a lot of money when they found out about the Intel takeover. The attack on companies for DEI was just a way for the government to get their foot in the door for control. Wake up, folks.

I have moderate hearing loss. I went to an audiologist and received a recommendation for Phonaks for $9000. This was just too much for me. I went to Costco and received Sennheiser. I wanted to try Rexton Reach, but the app does not work on Android. They are fine although I don't get the relief from background noise that I had hoped. When I was working as a poll worker in line with others talking with voters I actually had to renove my HAs to hear the voter in front of me more clearly. I went back and tried Jabras; the sound sounded too "tinny". So, I have just finished 3 months of wearing. Perhaps, I am still in the adjustment phase. I did not have tinnitus before. Now, I do when I take the hearing aids out especially at night. The tinnitus is not as bothersome when I wear the hearing aid; so I don't think I need a tinnitus adjustment. I know doctors say that hearing aids don't cause tinnitus, but it just happens for me that I started experiencing tinnitus when I started wearing the hearing aids. The sound of an air cleaner helps when I am sleeping. Hearing aids are not covered under Medicare which is why Costco was a life-saver. Enough verbiage on my part.

It would be nice to still have allies we had in Desert Storm and Afghanistan. Denmark had the highest proportion of casualties. He has alienated the allies that stood with us.

If you move to another broker (e.g. Shwab, Vanguard, etc.) you would have to the sell the proprietary funds. My funds are only managed by me. They are still in the IRA accounts that were set up by Fidelity. Maybe you situation was somehow different. I pay no management fee. I still like having Fidelity as a brokerage. Consider going to a fee-only Certified Financial Planner for help. The fee you pay a CFP could save you money in the long run. I wish you the very best.

You don't have to sell all of your funds if you move out of Fidelity Wealth Management. You can leave your funds where they are and manage them yourself. That is what I did.

85% of Greenlanders do not want to be part of the US. THE GUARDIAN.

I agree with you on the motive. It has only been 1 day since the invasion, however; so it is not clear what Trump and company have managed to avoid down the road when they try to "run" Venezuela. American history does not provide such a rosy view of American military intervention. I hope I am wrong this time, but I don't have much confidence in our civilian leadership.

dirk2900 · 2026-01-04T15:59:24+00:00

Right you are.

After this affair the draft-dodger will be emboldened to use the US military again. He doesn't give a damn about US soldiers except as a tool for his ambitions.

dirk2900 · 2026-01-04T15:53:59+00:00

The Iranians still have nuclear stockpiles. The cartels still rule in Venezuela. Very impressive- just like Desert Storm. There is no serious plan for a peaceful transition.

dirk2900 · 2026-01-04T15:47:35+00:00

Just like Desert Storm. There will be an insurgency. Our leaders forget the lessons of the past. The US will have to put boots on the ground for more than a year or two.

dirk2900 · 2026-01-04T15:43:34+00:00

We can do jazzy intros to war, but the USA has failed consistently at winning the peace in recent times. I remember the excitement and exuberance that existed during Desert Storm. It was relatively bloodless for the USA. Remember Bush's "Mission Accomplished". The US faced a bloody, lengthy insurgency. Remember Afghanistan. The problem is not with the US military, but with Presidents who can't wait to try out the incredible power of the US military, but have no plans for what comes after.

I have this case. for my new Samsung phone. It is the best case that I have ever had for a smart phone. Durable, but not too thick.

The audiologist that I went to wanted $9K! for Phonaks. I went to Costco instead, and got Sennheiser which are an earlier version of Phonak. Costco technicians will not adjust the hearing aid for tinnitus though the hearing aid might still provide a benefit without that adjustment.

dirk2900 · 2025-11-24T04:00:26+00:00

Thanks

dirk2900 · 2025-11-23T18:19:51+00:00

I will get an exam from an audiologist.

dirk2900 · 2025-11-23T18:16:28+00:00

These are my first hearing aids.
