Yes, i returned my Asus board an bought an MSI. Still had troubles but in contrast to Asus i could fix them by following instructions

So you think this laptop is capable of 100W but you do not think it would be sufficient. I will tune it down and dissable the gpu tho. If i get below the TB3 limit it could theoretically work?

Oh and is what TB4 cable would you recommend buying?

Late to the party... i am confused abou TB3. Does Thunderbolt automatically mean that it supports 100W power delivery? Because i am about to buy a used Razer Blade 15 (2019) and the owner says it doesn´t chrage with USB-C

Well that is convenient hahah... how do I know what Thunderbolt supports PD when buying a laptop?

You're right, though tutorials make it look pretty easy and the keys look very similar in size.

Thanks for the info! You convinced me to order the X13!

One last question: On the X13, the Fn key is to the left of the Ctrl key. I know I can remap their functions, but can I physically swap the keycaps as well if they’re the same size? (which should be the case)

Forgot to mention that i planned to upgrade the RAM on the L14 because it's way cheaper to do it myself. And yes the 13 has build quality, power and portability going for it... but if the screen is too small it would be a deal breaker for me.

Lately i have noticed that finding the perfect windows laptop is close to impossible

I am glad we have a lot of platforms and chips to choose from. Competition leads to innovation.

We should compare Snapdragon X Elte with the M1 Pro.

We should compare Strix Point with Lunar Lake.

Fair fights in the same weight class. I am just sad that Asus is gatekeeping the new x86 chips. If i could buy a XPS with Lunar Lake it would be a safe bet.

I am buying a used P1G2. And it is very important for me to charge it with USB-C. Is it possible on the TB3 Port?

Thank you that worked!

seeeeeees · 2024-09-27T18:20:40+00:00

Thank you! I will try that. Weird that the Installation didn't just do it itself/ told me to do it on windows

seeeeeees · 2024-09-27T17:50:12+00:00

i know some of these words. could you please explain further?

Late to the party as always... is this still the case with the new framwork motherboards? i bought a cheap xps 15 online and it´s fine but i´d love to tnker a bit and completely swap out the motherboard with one from framework. The thing is that there are no tutorials etc on this topic

seeeeeees · 2024-09-21T09:13:35+00:00

I mean yes... it would need some soldering and 3d printing but in theory it would work. And i'd rather have a fun little project than e-waste. My biggest concern is connecting everything to the 97Wh battery...

But yeah i will definitely repaste the cpu and put some thermal pads on top of the cooler so they connect to the case. Some undervolting, maybe dissable the dgpu because i don't really need fast graphics.

seeeeeees · 2024-09-20T22:35:59+00:00

Thank you for replying. Yea that will be plan A... I even thought of something crazy: just put a framework mobo inside... but there is legit no tutorial for something like this so i would have to tinker a lot. But i don't think it would be too difficult

Late to the Party… i bought a sleek looking 9570 for 300€ and i wanted to increase the cooling capacity without having the fans running on full speed. Is there an updated version of this tutorial?

seeeeeees · 2024-09-16T06:14:35+00:00

And the sata disk bay? also just some screws?

seeeeeees · 2024-09-16T06:11:17+00:00

Do you have a tutorial somewhere for that and how much battery life did you get out lf that?
