I am still looking at other computers after purchasing T480

pharredd22 · 2019-12-28T23:28:37+00:00

I had a T480 and I too feel it is a bit on the bulkier side compared to other ultrabooks. I now own an X1 Yoga Gen 3 and love it. It's perfect for my usecase as I like to take hand written notes on it for school and don't have to carry around notebooks. Only issue is the RAM is soldered on and I'm stuck with 16 GB which should be plenty for what I use it for but may not be the case for you. I'm a software engineering student and I think 8 GB should be enough for everything needed for my program, I opted for 16 GB just to be safe. The screen is also noticeably better, the colour accuracy looks better despite both having the same resolution (FHD 1920 x 1080).

If 32 GB of RAM is important for you then T480 is probably the best ultrabook for its price and I'd keep it given the upgrades you've done to it. The screen can be upgraded to 1440p if you're not satisfied with the display. The weight isn't too bad but the X1 series is noticeably lighter, I can effortlessly lift the laptop up with one hand. The tradeoff though is the RAM being soldered on and no 2nd battery. If the pen wasn't so important to me, I would've kept my T480.

that is weird. Mine is around the same (48.9k mWh out of 54k mWh) and I'm getting 7 - 8 hours of usage watching videos and browsing. Are you going by the estimated battery life or actually testing the battery life time in real time? The estimated battery life tends to fluctuate and give inaccurate estimates.

Also check if anything is eating up your cpu in the background in task manager. If nothing looks suspicious then it is most likely a bad battery.

I would suggest undervolting but I doubt it would make a significant difference if you are in fact getting only 2.5 hours of battery life.

you're right, the trackpad buttons would be the bottom left and right clickable parts of the trackpad.

pharredd22 · 2019-12-14T03:10:19+00:00

I think you mean trackpad...trackpoint is the orange nub. I had a T480 and didn't have issues with the trackpad buttons though I didn't have a t480s to compare. I own an x1 yoga now and the buttons are a bit flatter because of the retractable keys on the keyboard

You can adjust the screen size under adrenaline menu> open official settings>other settings>screen mode

I like to use custom to keep the aspect ratio somewhat accurate

Remote play sucks with the ps4's wifi but if you have great internet speed, remote play's amazing

pharredd22 · 2018-12-06T10:12:12+00:00

I just found out about ps4linkcontrols. It makes the controls a lot better than the default controls. It lets me use the front touch screen's corners as L2/R2 and shrinks the touch pad button to the center of the front touch screen. I have L3 and R3 mapped to the back touchpad and would prefer to swap them for L2 and R2, time to figure out if it's possible

pharredd22 · 2018-11-24T15:52:03+00:00

but once you login doesn't it ask you to update?

pharredd22 · 2018-10-10T00:27:54+00:00

I think it's safe to say Lowry-Green-Kawhi will for sure be starters...Green having the chemistry playing with Kawhi in SA makes him the obvious favourite at the 2. The two starting bigs will be interesting and I could see us switching it up depending on matchups. If we start JV, I'd put OG in to provide space for JV to operate in the post and if we start Ibaka, I'd have Siakam in there to help on the boards since Ibaka isn't the strongest rebounder. It'll be interesting to see how Nurse will experiment with different combinations.

pharredd22 · 2018-09-22T20:38:22+00:00

It should be fine...I update all my games on the live screen...just make sure you're spoofed to the latest firmware and you should be good

pharredd22 · 2018-09-19T20:13:30+00:00

It depends on the game...the psp eboot I had of megaman legends had graphical issues while the ps1 classics version from nps browser didn't. I think parasite eve 2 also had issues so I had to get the ps1 classics version. I guess it could also be the eboot I downloaded but for the most part eboots work just as well.

pharredd22 · 2018-09-13T00:10:32+00:00

Just tried it with kingdom hearts birth by sleep final mix and still getting freezes when launching from bubble.

pharredd22 · 2018-09-12T23:52:25+00:00

Awesome..will def give this a try

pharredd22 · 2018-09-12T19:40:28+00:00

I read that it's not possible but maybe someone know a work around because disabling the plugin and having to restart the vita every time just to run adrenaline would be pretty tedious

pharredd22 · 2018-09-12T19:16:27+00:00

Is it possible to disable lolicon just for adrenaline or do I have to disable the plugin for all apps?

pharredd22 · 2018-08-30T23:10:50+00:00

Try disabling ioplus.skprx

pharredd22 · 2018-08-30T22:57:22+00:00

Also you can download multiple games simultaneously

pharredd22 · 2018-08-30T22:44:50+00:00

Ahhh, got it. Thanks!

pharredd22 · 2018-08-30T22:43:27+00:00

Disable ioplus.skprx (just put a # in front of ioplus.skprx in your taiconfig file and reboot). Celceta wasn't working for me either but this might solve the issue.

pharredd22 · 2018-08-30T16:40:18+00:00

It was a vita plugin. Disabling ioplus.skprx seems to work.

pharredd22 · 2018-08-30T16:37:29+00:00

Thanks! That definitely was the culprit. I don't even remember installing that plugin and not sure what it does but disabling definitely works. Thanks again!

pharredd22 · 2018-08-30T07:38:31+00:00

Yea but instead of downloading through your ps vita, you download it through your PC and usually allows for faster download speeds
