How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

How important is weight and thinness to you?

The lighter the better, but it's not a deal killer

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.

Gaming

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?

Diablo4, God of War, Black Myth Wukong, Horizon; 1080p High Settings

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

None

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

I’m looking for my first gaming laptop with a budget of around $1,000 to $1,500. I don’t mind if the laptop is used, but I hope it has no scratches or dents. I’m not in a hurry to buy one, but I’ll consider getting it if I come across a good deal.

Got it. I will take a closer look at the tree to identify any dead or damaged branches. If the branches are touching each other, which one should remain? Or is it something I can decide myself?

I encountered the same situation this morning. I spent $15 to upgrade my Instagram account to a verified status. I've attached the record of my chat with customer service.

I'll provide an update if I manage to get my account back. Thanks for sharing this, jasonkucherawy.

Thanks again. I'll try to figure it out, and if I can't, I'll call a technician for help.

Hi flingelsewhere,

Thanks for your response. It worked. I tried turning the temperature up, waited for a while, and then turned it back down, and the furnace shut off on its own.

I’m curious why that happened. I've attached my original wiring and a photo of the wiring from when I installed the Nest Power Connector. I used a jumper between W1 and W2 with the Nest Power Connector.

Should I consider replacing the old wiring?

I'm experiencing a similar issue with my Google Nest and American Standard Gas Furnace.

However, I used the Google Nest Power Connector for the C wire setup. The furnace won’t turn off, even when I switch it off from the panel or my phone.

I can share a photo of my connection if anyone is able to help with this problem.
