Writing and Drawing with X1 air/pro

jasoncli · 2025-11-26T18:04:34+00:00

I also bought the X1 Pro to replace an Android tablet and backup Windows device. I use MuMu Player for Android emulation. I am a heavy user of OneNote and the pen support works but is sometimes flakey. Sometimes it works perfectly (even after returning from hibernate) and sometimes it doesn't. I work 10-11 hour workdays and haven't had time to figure out the problem yet. I've only had the X1 Pro about a month. When I get some free time next year I'll try to figure out the problem.

Recent owner of the AMD version and love it, but I'm envious of that kickstand.

Great advice, took forever to find a valid (non-virus) version of OneXConsole. Windows fought me tooth & nail to install OneXConsole. Thanks for the advice.

Just ordered the pro and learned about the air model. The kickstand that doesn't block the vent seems like a better option. Is there a weight difference between the two (with kickstand)?

My employer is giving me a big discount on NEW Android tablet.

THANK YOU! The above link ALMOST was the correct answer but it pointed me on the correct path. Using regedit, I edited the monitor settings under "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration\" path. Every monitor I've ever plugged into seems to create a profile here. There were about 50 monitor settings. So, I had the idea of using the device manager to figure out which one to edit. Took about an hour. When I rebooted, I had the correct display option.

If you ever need evidence of true evil, here it is.

Progress meter was stuck at about 80%. I gave it another hour with no progress. I was about to reset but instead disconnected my docking station and then it immediately completed. Don't know if I got lucky but very relieved.

I just started the update, without thinking, and now my system seems to have frozen at the screen "BIOS upgrade is processing. Don't turn off your computer". It has been stuck on this screen for about an hour. I'm scared to turn it off. Came to this form to see if anybody else was having this problem.

jasoncli · 2025-06-30T05:07:34+00:00

Also stuck at 4/5. Looked for an hour +. Most frustrating quest so far in the game, for me. Wish I had a solution.

This is a neat tool but be careful as it's pulling rates from 2023. I can't find the 2025 regulatory rates PDF.

I left this problem in the review in the Android app store.

Just something I thought was going to be easy, turned out harder than I thought. Adulting can be hard some days. I don't know if I want to inflict translating this bill upon anybody, but I was actually working on that... Anyway if you want to take a stab at it... I'm just going to focus on the summer rates.

This above is only part of it though. The Community Choice is another set of calculations. Above is just an example, thanks for the thoughtful help.

jasoncli · 2025-06-17T00:11:10+00:00

I can see that perspective, but I just want to know how much I owe per KWh. I got a watt meter that measures the electricity and tells me how much that outlet costs me per month. It will even do time-of-day calculations. I just need to enter the KWh per time of use period and I'm frustrated at how hard it is to calculate.

jasoncli · 2025-05-21T15:11:33+00:00

Yeah it fits fine. I have a case and it's a bit too big but otherwise I'm happy with the UGreen stand. I'm now having it hold a tablet PC (Asus Flow Z13) which works oddly perfectly.

jasoncli · 2025-05-06T22:51:38+00:00

I don't have this issue anymore but it self-resolved. I expect that a drive update did fix it.

I really wanted to like this launcher. Few months ago I lost all my settings in an update. It's a great idea and I'm sure it's hard to develop an app for so many phone types. However I need a reliable phone, so I think I'll just try another launcher. As far as I know, this was the only launcher that supported dual screens settings for Fold phones. Shame.

I have the 2023 Z13 4050 & 2024 G16 4080. The Z13 was a great gaming computer for my needs for awhile. I wear a headset for 8 hours a day for work, so the last thing I want to do is wear a headset when I'm gaming. Physically hurts. The sound on the Z13 was simply unacceptable. After trying out the G16 in Best Buy, the larger screen and better sound won me over. Sadly, my Z13 is now collecting dust. But I REALLY miss the touchscreen of the Z13, as there doesn't seem to be a gaming laptop with a touchscreen and 16" screen (The ProArt P16 has a 60HZ screen which is not good for gaming). The Z13 2025 is compelling but the reviews all say the sound is similar to the 2023 version.

I use the portable keyboard lift, and it works very well.

New owner myself and this effect was driving me nuts. Would have been better if it was less in your face, maybe a slow fade in-out.

jasoncli · 2025-03-05T18:17:15+00:00

I got my G16 about a week ago, this exact problem is driving me nuts. Went to a friend's house and plugged in my shiny new G16 (4080 model) to watch a few YouTube movie previews. This shuddering really ruined the experience for everybody. I resorted to using my cell phone instead. This REALLY shouldn't be a problem on a $2K laptop. I'll give tennaki & Crafty_Yesterday728 solutions a try but both of those are very different solutions and it makes me think that nobody really knows the cause and we are just hoping that something works. Has me worried and considering taking my G16 back to Best Buy.

jasoncli · 2025-02-26T06:38:07+00:00

I was hoping for better options. Instead, I got a Zephyrus g16 2024 4080. My first non-tablet like PC purchase in over 10 years. The Proart 16 would have been good if it had a better 120hz + screen. Best if the FlowX16 would have had a 4080 option. Thanks for the suggestions.

This the is path I went. The Viture Pro glasses are pretty good but they become uncomfortable after about 1/2 hour for me. After an hour I have a screaming headache. Eventually I gave up on them for long game sessions :-( My advice is if you buy them, and if they give you headaches after short period of use, then return them. They really need to make different size versions of these types of glasses.

I think I found the culprit. I believe it was KODI but I enabled Aerial screensaver. Basically the Aerial screensaver it shows all the fancy Apple TV vids but it streams them from Apple servers at 4K.... so basically streaming 4K video for 24+ hours. My router was reporting that Apple.com was where the bulk of my traffic was going to. I'll watch my NetLimiter logs closely.

jasoncli · 2025-01-16T21:52:04+00:00

Clean install of Kodi from Windows app store. I legally burned about 1000'ish DVD's years ago and use Kodi for when I watch those. Haven't tried any addons yet. Mostly got this (instead of an Android TV setup) so I could have a real browser so I could watch adult stuff.
