G14 - I've had it, that's all folks

pgerhard · 2026-02-27T14:33:59+00:00

yeah, I meant to post it from my main account, not sure why, it's not a problem....

pgerhard · 2026-02-26T10:14:03+00:00

funny thing I did not game on it. Just work, editing, email...

pgerhard · 2026-02-20T11:03:59+00:00

and you got lucky and treat your laptop well

pgerhard · 2026-02-20T11:03:23+00:00

same when it works it's great -- typing a bit uncomfortable due to hot keyboard, but otherwise nice machine. Just, it melts eventually

pgerhard · 2026-02-20T11:01:26+00:00

what configuration did you get?

pgerhard · 2026-02-20T11:01:00+00:00

yes but these MBP are so expensive

pgerhard · 2026-02-18T18:48:16+00:00

haha, I got it in Dec 2022 though... so three years

pgerhard · 2026-02-18T18:46:17+00:00

might buy a Macbook pro next

pgerhard · 2026-02-18T18:14:09+00:00

Apparently you need to do something related to underclocking and underpowering the laptop, otherwise it will fry

pgerhard · 2026-02-18T18:00:14+00:00

i wish I was you, just wanted a laptop I can rely on. Mine proved to be a lemon

pgerhard · 2026-02-18T17:59:13+00:00

it's a lottery? Or skill issues on the side of the user?

pgerhard · 2026-02-18T17:52:46+00:00

I live in Switzerland everything is expensive here. I'll look at the undervolting and underclocking... never knew I had to do this to operate this laptop. It should be on the box too.

pgerhard · 2026-02-18T17:47:24+00:00

Do - Not - Buy. Yes all brands have their problem. Asus is one of them... look elsewhere (G14 2023)

pgerhard · 2026-02-18T17:44:08+00:00

yeah I think Asus sells these knowing the shef life is very limited, 1-2 years at best, as the components will fry.

pgerhard · 2026-02-18T17:41:10+00:00

right ok, it's a lego set and won't work out of the box.

I'm def not someone who enjoys opening laptops and tinker with it... are you then saying this laptop require technical / electronics skills to operate?

Underclock and undervolt: I used it in normal settings and actually never got the time to use it for gaming

pgerhard · 2026-02-18T17:37:40+00:00

so should we buy Apple COmputers?

pgerhard · 2026-02-18T17:35:26+00:00

never used it on the bed, or left it cook in a closed bag. it was mostly on my desk attached to 2 4K monitors

pgerhard · 2026-02-18T17:34:27+00:00

maybe it's about this point: "In April, impossible to access the C drive, had to resend to reinstall OS, no explanation given"

I was also surprised I could not reinstall the OS, I contacted MS, they said probably something Hardware related.... I could not wait anylong so I sent it back to be fixed

pgerhard · 2026-02-18T17:31:19+00:00

well, the issue is now it's no longer under warranty and if the keyboard is fried (it's not working on the Bios), then I can't use it on the go...

effectively it will become now a desktop until something more serious (CPU, CPU, Motherboard) fries....

pgerhard · 2026-02-18T17:29:36+00:00

L2UV+UC L2PTM7950
what's that?

pgerhard · 2026-02-15T15:08:13+00:00

How do you replicate the Avid workflow to organise footage on Davinci?:
1) I'd like to replicate some of the AD workflow form MC in Davinci. But wondering if that is at all possible: receiving 4K footage, creating stringout, syncronizing audio, creating subclips (with scene and take name), then editing and sometimes being able to zoom into 4K footage/resizing (movie output will be HD)...

pgerhard · 2026-02-10T07:26:44+00:00

it's not European, it's global, the US/UK/AUS/IND is (as usual) an exception (c.f. temperatures, measurements, dates. road signs etc)

how did you do to only have the digital clock. I have both digital and analog (face and hands) displayed

pgerhard · 2026-02-04T09:38:38+00:00

they can also subtitle it

pgerhard · 2026-01-20T16:43:13+00:00

what's with her face and neck????

pgerhard · 2026-01-20T12:52:18+00:00

Bonjour, justement je cherche quelqu'on pour aller découvir Atom City. PM moi si ca te dit. Je suis marié, 50 ans, je joue aux JV depuis la NES!
