  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.
  15. I'm going by myself too, would love to join. I'm down for gaming, but i'll probably suck at whatever we end up playing
  16. Where are you from? I live in Denmark at the moment Budget? 3000USD Usage? Programming (Virtual machine use/Docker) and occasionally gaming Any preference on weight and battery life? I would like something light, portable and with a long battery life as i travel a lot, but i don't want to have to deal with thermal throttling
  17. I think the MacBook Pro comes closes as to what i'm looking for, but i don't want an Apple device. The only metric that matters to me is productivity (hense the taller screen) and multitasking. So basically something with an 8750H or better and hopefully a good GPU for gaming. TBH i don't know if such a thing exists (except the MacBook), but short of that i think people might find it useful to see a list like bindydad123 made (the ones i found when searching were old).
  18. I can't seem to find many non-16:9 options out there. Can anyone recommend a gaming/workstation laptop with a taller screen?
  19. Haven't had any issues. You should be ware when spending that much money. That's why i always try to a buy from a seller that accepts returns. Buy the laptop, try it out for a couple of days/weeks and replace it with something else if you're not happy.
  20. Hi Chris, I kind of had the same plan as you but i'm from Denmark. We'll probably fly separately but i'm definitely looking for a buddy to hand out with at LTX. I'll also try to get teh VIP package. PM me if you want to talk more
  21. The XPS 15 is pretty good, overall i'm happy with it, but i wouldn't call it the best. It doesn't cool that well so it gets fairly noisy under load, but performance wise it's good and i haven't experienced thermal throttling. If only it had a 1440p/4k matte screen option and better cooling would be awesome. Looks like the 8-core options all use desktop CPUs so they need to be thick to cool them. Have any 8-core mobile CPUs been announced?
  22. I'm a web developer looking for a new laptop. At the moment i'm using an XPS 15 with a 8750H and am overall pretty happy. It'd be great if i can get a better CPU and preferably 32 gigs of RAM. The graphics are not important. High thread count and clock speed is what i'm looking for. The main use cases would be Node.js, Docker and various testing tools i use (Jest/Nightwatch) all of which scale nicely. TBH a 8750H is plenty, but i'm curious to see what kind of performance boost i'd get with a better CPU. The i9 MacBook Pro would be an obvious choice, but you guys are well aware of its cooling problems and i'd rather not buy an Apple device. The ROG Strix GL702ZC with the Ryzen 7 1700 seems like a good option, but it's way too bulky for my liking. Are any of you aware of a portable 15" laptop with 8 cores (and hyper threading) and cooling system to handle it? Is there anything like that launching this year?
  23. Ok what am i missing here? I'm not seeing any information that Microsoft is replacing Edge with Chromium. A couple of microsoft devs just made some commits adding ARM64 support to Chromium: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/q/owner:Tom.Tan%40microsoft.com https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/q/owner:jkunkee%40microsoft.com Which doesn't mean anything. Devs contribute to open source projects all the time. Did you guys even read the article? 95% of it is speculation, backed up by nothing.
