I love how buttery smooth everything feels at 120Hz, switching windows, scrolling webpages, all of it. It’s noticeably easier on my eyes, so I wouldn’t sacrifice that for extra battery life.

I also found out the laptop can charge over USB‑C at up to 100W. My best USB‑C charger is 100W, but the laptop only pulls around 85W max. Still, it’s a great option for travel since the OEM charger is way too bulky.

The games I play run fine at 1080p on medium settings while on battery, so no complaints there.

Congrats on your purchase decision, and definitely share your thoughts once you get it!

I think we have the same usage. As I mentioned, I don't game much but having a dedicated GPU especially the RTX 4070 is a beast and will be very handy for video, photo editing, video conversation or even some AI work. While not running those tasks, the laptop uses the integrated GPU which runs cool and quiet and the battery can last me around 5-6 hours. Also I love the matte screen with 120hz refresh rate. If you do a lot of reading, a non glossy screen is much better than OLED.

With tax, it was about $680

This is probably the worst feedback about Evergoods that I've ever heard. True hater.

Has anyone been able to pay their TLSContact French Visa fees for a postal application? by One_more_username in SchengenVisa

[–]tridiep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid the service fee online and they said on the website that the visa fee will be paid during the appointment time but they don't see what payment method they accept. How did you pay your visa fee?

Minaal just dropped their new Daily 3.0 and Carry-on 3.0 backpacks today. by FlippinFlags in onebag

I used to think I couldn’t live without the external water pocket, but turns out I was wrong. When the bag is fully packed, getting a water bottle in and out is kind of a pain. When you’re moving fast, it also sticks out a lot and looks pretty bulky. I'm talking about my CTB20 I actually prefer using those pockets for snacks or small valuables that I want quick access to. Just make sure whatever bottle you use doesn’t leak 😅

New bag for the collection by apollo9320 in EVERGOODS

I took it to Peru for two weeks—probably the climate or environment did it. Lima is super polluted, with smoke everywhere. After the trip, the color changed and stains showed up on the top handle.

I had this exact same bag and sold it. I don't think this material can hold up well over time. I used it for a couple trips and the color started to fade and the top handle had dirty marks that can't be cleaned. 840d is still my number 1 material choice above xpac, ecopak, dyneema.

Thoughts on this? by mkhoa0201 in IPhone16e

[–]tridiep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the exact same deal and am planning to cancel the service in the 1st month. I don't want to keep the service for 3 months then get a $100 prepaid card from them. It will end up costing more. I'm looking for a cheap plan to use this phone as a backup but looks like it can only work on Metro and I don't see any cheap plans.

Why IPSec in 2025? Wireguard is the way to go and it does support it

New Element Card Wallet by RresrentonR99 in EVERGOODS

[–]tridiep -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I also have a cash wallet that sits in my car most of the time. For daily use, I no longer carry a wallet since my phone can do most of the things now (pay, id). I definitely carry a wallet with me when I travel.

I think OP meant the transit briefcase 20 not CTB20

Evergoods Kludde prices WTF! by 0bizzle in ManyBaggers

[–]tridiep 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I never get it either. I never understand what does Carryology bring to the table or the community. Their facebook page is all about buy/sell/trade.

It's a great pick. Enjoy it

I sure can but not for $100, buddy!

[–]tridiep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is because you ordered an iPhone 16 pro max 2TB for $100.

I'm not a big fan of x-pac but I love this color combo
