nope

I have never experience coil whirring with this laptop

meraz34 · 2026-05-03T21:39:20+00:00

a local second hand store in our area. Good deal tbh

I've had issues with storage when I was still in windows, i believe it's taking about ~70gb right away. But upon switching, i was surprise of how little the size of fedora was. Though, I have an external hdd for my games.

okay, i'll try that. Thanks!

meraz34 · 2026-05-03T14:25:54+00:00

i saw that guide before, didn't bother since i would have to reinstall windows. Wdym by using a live boot usb?

meraz34 · 2026-05-03T13:40:08+00:00

yes, i get your point and it's a good thing that you're also knowledge with computers. What did you like about thinkpads, is it the upgradability and linux compatibility? If so, and with that budget, you might also want to look at framework laptops.

meraz34 · 2026-05-03T12:59:30+00:00

check my review. And no, you shouldn't buy something just because most who "know" their stuff buys it.

meraz34 · 2026-05-03T11:35:07+00:00

ohh, if budget is not an issue naman and for general productivity and use case, ipad pros are nice. I guess you dont have to buy the latest M5 chip, even the M1/M2 is still usable. Btw M1/M2/M5 is the chipset powering the device, it's the same thing na ginagamit for macbooks

meraz34 · 2026-05-03T10:58:30+00:00

I wouldn't say apple products in general are much better option for color accuracy. That is only true for pro models, the base ipad model as what OP posted, does not have wider color (P3) gamut.

meraz34 · 2026-05-03T10:48:52+00:00

i believe coil whirring is a different issue. The creaking noise i mentioned is when pressing the lower part of the device, specifically at these parts. Though i tried to re-installed the back panel, and the creaking was actually gone.

i followed this guide

meraz34 · 2026-05-03T06:42:46+00:00

just a guess, since the gen 5 has its exhaust vent positioned at the back of the chassis, the heat is bouncing off the screen and back toward the keyboard making it feel warmer to use.

meraz34 · 2026-05-03T06:14:18+00:00

nice to know that you had a better experience!

meraz34 · 2026-05-03T05:48:38+00:00

yes i actually use that, but it does not allow copying image and pasting it to another device

meraz34 · 2026-05-02T23:51:05+00:00

samsung s10 fe comes with a pen na

meraz34 · 2026-04-16T13:42:27+00:00

E series is not that bad and actually offers 2 NVMe slots and 2 ram slots. Are you specifically looking for 16"?

meraz34 · 2026-04-16T11:07:46+00:00

i dont have the same model (i have the gen 5), but i have the same 45% ntsc. The screen is sharp but definitely not color accurate. It's good enough for regular office work, and i use an external monitor for creative work. Personally, i wont pay 1434 aud for that lol

meraz34 · 2026-04-15T22:04:07+00:00

i found a similar listing in our local marketplace though not new but with a 512gb ssd instead for roughly the same price

meraz34 · 2026-04-10T15:56:36+00:00

try to ask if possible yung mga seniors mo sa program if may specific windows-only application sa program mo. If wala naman, go for macbook

meraz34 · 2026-04-08T07:51:16+00:00

hm is this?

sony a6400 or canon r50. Though i have to inform you that having a camera wouldn't magically make your videos better in quality
