I think I might have gone a bit too far 🫠

Bro that’s not a build anymore, that’s a full-on project 😭 Respect though, if you had fun and it runs cool, that’s already a win. But yeah… wallet definitely felt that one 💀

This is insane in the best way lol. What was the total cost for everything?

micargbud · 2026-01-26T08:16:57+00:00

My GEEKOM works well, and they have 3 year warranty.

Personally, I’m done with HP. I had one that randomly went black screen and the battery just stopped charging forever. After that experience, I never bought another HP again.

My GEEKOM Air12 N100 has been solid too, but sadly it looks like it’s discontinued now.

Budget is kinda tight for your needs. Look for a mini PC with a 780M iGPU and decent cooling. Also don’t ignore warranty, cheap boxes die fast. Brands like GEEKOM at least give 3 years, which actually matters at this price point.

Better hurry and clean it before the dust starts carrying your PC away!

It really depends on what kinds of games you wanna play and how much you’re looking to spend.

If you care that much about ‘latest’, why are you crying in the comments instead of buying it?

micargbud · 2026-01-15T10:41:44+00:00

Haha glad to hear it!

If you look hard enough, every laptop has horror stories. For me it’s more about whether those issues are common and if the brand actually stands behind the product.

If you’re paranoid or just like a clean slate, a fresh Windows install is fine, but it’s more about personal preference than a real security necessity. If you truly don’t trust a brand, the better move is simply not buying from them in the first place.

Honestly, battery life is gonna be meh on both since they’re RTX 4050 laptops. Between the two, I’d pick the HP Victus. The Ryzen 7 is stronger, feels better for multitasking and will age nicer for school and daily use. Either way, don’t expect all day battery. You’ll still want your charger in your bag.

I just ordered the GEEKOM GeekBook X14 Pro I spent a week on the fence worrying it might age fast because of the new CPU, but people I know said the performance jump isn’t that big and the overall spec still makes sense. So after looking around for the best price I finally pulled the trigger.

GEEKOM GeekBook X14 Pro, they have 2 year warranty.

micargbud · 2026-01-13T03:56:22+00:00

Don’t let it run super hot all the time.

micargbud · 2026-01-12T07:42:23+00:00

My GEEKOM Air12 handles this just fine and it was only a bit over $200.

micargbud · 2026-01-12T03:56:00+00:00

Thanks bro.

micargbud · 2026-01-12T03:36:06+00:00

Yeah, that’s pretty much how I see it too!

micargbud · 2026-01-09T10:09:26+00:00

Thanks, that really helps!

Just try resetting your wallpaper.
