Nice! Brother has a dell inspiron that looks amazingly similar, plays rocket league shockingly well for a 25w chip

That's good news. Was it mailed as a package or just as a mail? Mine was labeled as mail so, they were probably suspicious about the size and, that's why they opened it up. That's my best guess at least.

I ordered it from a retailer so that makes it a package by default. Everything is inside and the laptop works perfectly with no damage, so I'm happy at least.

I had a package arrive that was open.

There was tape on it that read:

"Opened by US Customs"

A Lenovo Yoga 530 that I found on sale for about -25%. Has a Ryzen 5 2500U processor with 8GB of RAM, and a stylus based on the Wacom AES digitizer. :3

sorry, forgot the /s

what laptop?

I need a laptop with a tiltable keyboard and a stylus digitizer built into the screen for digital art, so the first thing that came to my mind was the Microsoft Surface lineup. But those would cost me an arm and a leg so I've looked at few other options:

First thing would be the Lenovo Yoga 530, since it comes with a Ryzen 5 2500U, 8GB RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD configuration, for $780, excluding the stylus.

Second would be an HP Envy x360 15-cp0004no, which has fairly similar specs to the first one but a 15.6" display and a 1TB HDD in addition to the SSD, for about $1040, without a stylus.

There are some others as well.. but anything that goes above $1000 is kind of pushing it.

well, i would ask genexis_x about this... he might know some more alternatives

the people I used to know seem to be gone

Yeah this forum seems to have a very high overturn rate for users.

Yeah, ignore them. I did too. Most were status updates

I like the tinkerboard due to the 2GB of ddr3 and better graphics cores so imo the pi just seems really limited by having only 1GB of ddr2.

The asrock board I listed had the highest performing gemini-lake CPU, but they do have another with a different layout:

the pi has plenty with 1GB, surprisingly. as wel as the pi usually accepting a nice OC. besides, while on paper the kinkerboard's rockchip is faster, in most real world scenarios it'll lag behind.

and asrock has like.. 10-ish or so different boards i think. if i recall the J5005 was the fastest out the bunch tho. do watch out with ram compatibility.

I did find some adata ram that has almost the exact same serial as that on the QVL list: https://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?p=3605045

The only difference seems to be a single letter, AD4S2133W4G15-B on the QVL list with the linked ram being AD4S2133J4G15-R.
