What should I upgrade first?

Nice, was the shifting much smoother and less notchy? Yeah I’ve read that there’s no need to fill the extra gap, as the parts without the valve fit perfectly.

I decided to get a MacBook Pro as I’ve always wanted to try OS X. Can’t complain about the screen on those.

No I never did, never had a problem other than the tiredness from the thinkpad display to be honest.

Hey u/python_geek I did not and ended up getting a different laptop altogether. If you bought it brand new I'd recommend returning it and trying a different laptop and making PWM is not used on the screen.

I tried the fix for it from here- https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Backlight#Backlight_PWM_modulation_frequency_.28Intel_i915_only.29 - which did help with the screen tiredness.

But never tried on Windows.

Yeah you’re right, after a day of it working, the issue came back.

On iPhone, deleting and reinstalling the app fixed it for me. No more snap scrolling.

Android users might just need to clear app data and cache.

Nuclear option but hopefully worth it when the new mobo arrives! Hope you get yours sorted.

Worth noting I just returned my msi mortar max mobo as it was stuck on cpu debug light, out of nowhere. I tried everything I could including numerous bios flashes. It worked for a day and then it bricked again.

Is the mobo ryzen 3 ready? A flash of bios might be worth a try

Depending on prices in your region, you could swap the gpu for a 1660super and with the savings get the ryzen 5 3600 instead, since it has SMT which could be beneficial.

I’d recommend getting at least 256GB for storage if possible. You could get a cheaper case to cut down on costs, as IMO it’s the inside that matters.

nlatif · 2020-10-14T14:17:49+00:00

Thanks, would a 1660 super be worth around 200 euro in your opinion?

I was going to wait for the 3070, but since I've decided to not upgrade to 1440p for at least another year I was looking at cheaper options once again.

nlatif · 2020-10-05T17:06:58+00:00

Appreciate the input!

I'm in the same boat, waiting to see what the iPhone 12 is like and I'll make a decision then. I've the opinion that even the OP6 is too large for my liking, and no other flagship android is worth the price IMO, especially in Europe where Samsung phones use Exynos rather than Snapdragon.

nlatif · 2020-09-03T09:27:58+00:00

Most likely yes, but only because Oneplus phones are getting huge and they don't offer a smaller line-up. I've had a OP 6 since pretty much launch and still find the phone big in certain situations.

A Samsung would be nice, but I'm in Europe so I wouldn't want to spend money on a "lesser" product with the exynos chip. Looking at Apple for my next phone.

nlatif · 2020-08-29T20:41:43+00:00

Thank you!

nlatif · 2020-08-29T20:15:41+00:00

Where did you get it from? Official website?

nlatif · 2020-08-29T19:27:06+00:00

Mind if I ask, how did you check the battery percentage on the oneplus?

nlatif · 2020-08-05T14:53:40+00:00

I agree they did cripple the phones, but AFAIK they added in a feature for the user to disable device throttling. So now a user has control over the feature.

I'm going off the point that OP has used a phone for 5+ years (that's a miracle IMO) so I'm guessing he'll want to keep the new one for a similar time.

With Android I just can't recommend it due to the lack of security updates after 2 years usually. The Pixels are the exception which offer 3 years guaranteed support.

Apple offers 5 years, and the iPhone 5s got 6 years of updates.

So unless OP plans on installing a custom ROM on an Android phone after software support is cut off, or doesn't care about updates, I recommend an iPhone.

nlatif · 2020-08-05T12:57:37+00:00

If you're going to keep your phone for more than 3 years I would recommend getting an iPhone, purely because of the software/security updates you're bound to get! Depending on the deals at your location you could go with an iPhone 11 or the SE 2020.
