  1. The Pixel 3 is great overall. Its battery is too small and as well as the screen. Not happy with the fingerprint unlock like I mentioned. I'll buy it from amazon. The S20 honestly seems perfect for me. I was just wandering what other similar phones there are.
  2. I think I found the reddit threads you mentioned Here's one where a user reports the card works - Here's one where it doesn't work, but another users points out it's likely due to the order of antennas I'm going to order one and report back!
  3. How can I determine support? Laptop boards are proprietary, I don't know of a way to look up that info.
  4. I'm on a Pixel 3 right now, but I'm looking for an upgrade. The Samsung S20 caught my eye, but was wondering if I should consider other options in the 600-800 USD range. What would you recommend I look at? I passed on the Pixel 5 due to its lack of stereo speakers. I also prefer an under screen fingerprint reader/face I'd. Oneplus' offerings didn't stand out with anything over the S20. Am I missing something?
  5. I decided to upgrade my laptop to WiFi 6, but I wanted to check if there's anything I need to do before that. I set my sight on the NETELY’s Intel AX200 as my new WiFi card. The listing states From what I read online I simply need to swap out the card and update some drivers, since the rest of my PCs hardware should support it. Is there anything i'm missing? Link to the specs of my machine
  6. I have an Aero 15 with a 144hz display. I want to limit it to 60fps when the laptop is not plugged in to conserve battery power. I know how to limit fps in Nvidia's drivers, but I can't figure out how to toggle it on and off when the power state changes.
  7. The one with the FullHD screen and 8750H. If anyone has questions about it or whatever i might be able to help out.
  8. I ended up getting the Aero 15x, mainly due to the bigger battery and the international warranty. Appreaciate everyone's feedback though!
  9. Can you share a source for this information? Neither the Razer nor the Gigabyte are offerred with a 2060, so it's not really relevant, i'm just curious why that happens.
  10. Yes, i've already picked out a 16:9 laptop, but i'd prefer a taller screen, which is why i'm looking into other options
  11. Why do you think the Aero 15 is better than the Razer? I checked out the MSI GS65/75 as well as the Triton 500 and the Strix Hero 2 but they are just too ugly IMO. I can't imagine myself bringing one of these to a meeting
  12. Yeah i saw that video, it's way too ugly IMO. I prefer the Blade. Also the GX701 doesn't have a 15" option as far as i know. 17" is too big for me
  13. I mainly need the laptop for work (i'm a developer), which involves a lot of travelling. But I'd also like to be able to play GTA 5 on ultra. A lot of the time i'll be using the laptop with an external monitor, keyboard and mouse, but i will also use as a laptop on planes etc when i travel so portability is important. My main requirements in order of importance: 8750H or better CPU Cooling - i want the laptop to be quite while the CPU loaded and i don't want any throttling. I don't care if it gets loud or hot during gaming as long as it can run games smoothly 32GB of RAM (it's ok if it comes with 16GB as long as i can add another stick) Battery - at least 80 Wh Weight - the lighter the better 15" 1080p screen (1440p would be nice but i don't want 4k), backlit keyboard and a good touchpad Design - i don't like RGB, cleaner looks are preferred Fingerprint/Windows Hello My budget is 4000USD, i'll buy from amazon or the manufacturer's website. A tall screen (4:3) or similar would be awesome, but from what i know a workstation/gaming laptop like that doesn't exist. Storage isn't important, a 512GB SSD would be sufficient You may have noticed that although i am looking for a gaming laptop, gaming performance isn't in my list of requirements - I game rarely, but when i do i'd like to be able to play in high settings. I'm currently using an XPS 15 and i don't like that it throttles the CPU. I can get a workstation laptop with a 8750H, but they come with Quadros, which i won't be able to utilise. The only graphics heavy tasks the laptop would do is gaming, no video editting or 3D modelling or whatever. I don't care about RTX, but it seems non RTX 20 series cards aren't available in laptops yet. From the reasearch i've done so far the Razer Blade 15 with the RTX2070 seems to be the best option. The Gigabyte Aero 15 with the RTX2070 is a close second, i like the bigger battery, but i don't like it's design as much as the Razer and i also doesn't have any biometrics. I also looked at the MSI GS65 Stealth, but it's just too ugly for me Are there other options i'm missing. Are there any laptops that will launch in the coming months that might beat the Razer?
  14. I'll probably buy from amazon or from the manufacturer's website.
