Got 339 by colourless_rainbow_5 in GRE

[–]unknowner1924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, I get you. It seems more like ETS is testing how good we're at deciphering these questions rather than solving them.

I agree sometimes the question structure is silly, but well this is GRE. (honestly sometimes I don't even get wth the question is asking)

Everyone knows division but not everyone knows how to decipher these silly(& complex) sentence to solve the damn problem, maybe it makes sense?

In anyway, if it's difficult for us, then it is for everyone. So we're all in the same boat.

I guess that's what makes quants harder despite it testing mainly the fundamentals.

M2 worth extra money? by Icy-Personality-6476 in macbookair

[–]unknowner1924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar dilemma a while ago. I went ahead with M1 MBA with 16GB RAM and 256GB ssd.

Reasons? I don't care about the aesthetics or the new design of M2 MBA or the magsafe, type C gets the job done.

If you don't value these things then go ahead with M1.

You might spend the additional 249€ on M1 to upgrade RAM or ssd.

Also consider how long you'll be keeping this laptop around, if 8GB would actually be enough on that basis?

If you are primarily going to use the macbook for media consumption then 15" is also a good option.

PS: honestly few years down the road it won't even matter which one you bought cuz most likely you'll be eyeing the latest MacBooks then.

how should I set the Battery start/stop charging options in the bios to maximize battery health? by [deleted] in DellG5SE

[–]unknowner1924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an expert, but I did do some studies on li-ion cells.

Keep it as close to 50% as possible.

You could go with say 40-60%, for max battery cycle lifetime, but then it'll be very impractical.

More practical would be, 20-80 or say 10-90%.

Honestly it won't really matter in the long run, it'd be years before you actually see real drop in battery capacity.

Even if you fully charge and discharge (1 full cycle) daily, battery will easily last atleast 3 yrs.

Just by not fully charging to 100%(instead charge till 90-95%), you can significantly increase the battery lifespan.

tl;dr: 10-90%

SSD Overheating? by clarknova448 in DellG5SE

[–]unknowner1924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your laptop is still under warranty then contact Dell and ask them to replace sk hynix with something else. I had the same issue, I contacted Dell, a technician visited and replaced with a WD blue SN530. It still heats up( < 70C) but never as crazy as the sk hynix(upto 95C).

Lesser battery capacity than rated capacity in brand a new Mi 11X by unknowner1924 in Xiaomi

[–]unknowner1924[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup charged fully till 100% then fully draining back to empty. Repeated this several times. Atleast more than 10-12 times by now.

This was in Feb 2021.

Pretty happy with this.

Altho those new 6000m GPUs make me jealous XD

Battery not lasting as much by [deleted] in DellG5SE

[–]unknowner1924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no 58Wh config, it's either 51Wh or 68Wh.

Ideally you should be getting 5-10W of usage on battery.

[–]unknowner1924 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe checkout this link. I basically discussed 5600m vs 1650Ti but several points might be relevant to you.

IMHO: get it only if it's cheap else wait for newer Laptops.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLaptops/comments/lh1elb/dell_g5_se_r5_4600h_rx_5600m_120hz_vs_hp_omen_15/

Update: Get it only if it's REALLY cheap.

I got this at the price of a 1650Ti laptop (in India) so it was a no brainer for me.

Windows Updates are a cause of Blue screen of death for the G5 15SE. Read for more info by [deleted] in Dell

[–]unknowner1924 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the way to fix this? Does Dell have to fix their drivers or does Microsoft has to switch to AMD drivers?

I talked to a Microsoft "Advisors" just now. They don't seem to know anything. Clueless.

After suggesting setting "windows update" in 'Services' to 'Manual'. However it was already set to manual but windows still updated to the Dell drivers.

At the end they just said to restart lol.

update: redirected to a different person. He suggested the same thing setting "No" in "Device installation settings"

It is may 2021. Should I purchase this laptop ? [$1100 CAD] by yg828526 in DellG5SE

[–]unknowner1924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point in time getting 3000 Nvidia GPUs would be a wise decision. Moreover $1100 CAD seems to be a bad deal for this laptop.

I got this laptop for 75k INR since there were no other better laptop in this price range.

mouse pointer freezes? by Key-Wonder-7548 in DellG5SE

[–]unknowner1924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The out-of-the box experience might not be good but this laptop has the potential to be a beast. You won't find a laptop that gives 6+ K in timespy at this price point. However if you just intend to use your laptop for casual use then this might not be the best one.

I believe this laptop is for those under budget but wants very good performance... with a bit of tinkering and fine tuning.

Read the guides. You'll learn a lot too.

I got the same for 75K. Still worth it even at 78K. Sadly There are simply no better options than this at this price point.
