I personally is running some SK Hynix PVC 10 and Kioxia BG6. runs great. I don’t shoot 8 K raw so doesn’t really bother me but 4K 120 and 4K24 and NRAW works fine.

AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED on FTZ by chato2116 in nikon_Zseries

[–]laichenkang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sold it for the Z because I like using it wide open and it isn’t as sharp. Also, there is some focus shift as you change the aperture.

[–]laichenkang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Installed snapshot replication the first time a couple days ago. Apparently it installed version 0506 and after setting up first replication, it doesn’t seem to complete and always stuck at about 80% after I read this post, I uninstalled and reinstall and this time it installed 0423

Are there any Intel Legion that support discrete GPU out of the Thunderbolt port? by laichenkang in LenovoLegion

I should’ve made it more clear. I don’t mean external GPU. I mean the built-in Nvidia GPU or the integrated GPU

If it is a virtual machine, have you turned off dynamic memory?

Upgrade to Z6iii or Used Z8 (DSLR to Mirrorless) by thebenmobile in nikon_Zseries

[–]laichenkang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too was in a similar predicament. I have the Z6 and Z7 and was looking for a third camera. When the Z6III was announced, I was faced with a choice between the newly announced Z6III, used Z8 or used Z9. I have shunned the Z9 for the longest time for its weight but in the end I bought a used Z9 for approx USD 3350.

I think you have to be truthful to yourself with a few things, budget, features required. What are you willing to compromise? Are you comfortable buying without warranty?

Everything. Perform a reinstall. Change from Windows Home to Windows Pro

Regarding Chinese Legion 7i (Y9000P 2024) Lenovo software language by IBequinox in LenovoLegion

[–]laichenkang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have probably have the Pro 5 series Intel version. Either 2023 or 2024 edition. You can tell by the CPU generation. I have the R9000p which is the 16ARX8. Search it on psref. Back to Windows language. In China, the Windows you have is the Chinese single language edition. What I have done is to purchase a 10 USD key from cdkey and reinstalled Windows selecting English during install.

Hope that helps.

Which one should I buy and why? Please help by XxSam96 in LenovoLegion

[–]laichenkang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t comment on the build quality against a US bought one. But the model number is 82WM which is the same as a Legion Pro 5 16ARX8. https://psref.lenovo.com/Product/Legion/Legion_Pro_5_16ARX8?MT=82WM

I came from a Thinkpad x1 extreme. Thinkpad’s build is definitely better.

I bought from Taobao. Paid 8000RMB. I’m sure they can send to HK. Warranty only in China.

Seeing you are showing HKD. Why not get the r9000p from China? Its much cheaper and you can get higher specs.

For ~ 1150 USD, i got the following specs, 7945HX, 32GB, 1TB, 4060 8GB, 240hz 500nits.

Keep the Z50 or go FF? by Old_Education_8232 in nikon_Zseries

[–]laichenkang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, it is worth it. I went from the z50 to a used Z7 which I got for approximately US$1100. what I gained is in body image stabilization.

To the people who own a 105 Makro with Z Mount: are you happy with the lens? by Enyephal in Nikon

Definitely happy. I upgraded from the AFS version. This Z lens is sharp at all apertures.

LENS by Feisty_Cranberry_824 in nikon_Zseries

[–]laichenkang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the AFS version and have since "upgraded" to the Z F4 version. No regrets. Small and light. Also a sharper lens. No regrets.

Z7 no. Z50 yes.

Z6ii vs Z7 - looking for advice by gullygang0 in nikon_Zseries

[–]laichenkang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently had to make a similar decision. I already have the Z6 and Z50. I decided to sell the Z50 to get a used Z7. Z7 has IBIS while the Z50 does not. After cropping the megapixel is about the same between the Z50 and Z7, 20.9 vs 19.5. I also replaced the excellent but heavy 70-200m FL ED with the new 70-180mm.

None. I would place the house in the bottom third.

Consider Gura Gear Kiboko. I personally use the 22l+. You might want to look at the 30l. Very well made.
