I'm pretty set on Lenovo, haven't heard a bad story (that they didn't resolve quickly and well). Just a little stuck on the P16 and Legion as the Legion is cheaper and seemingly far better specs. Wondering where the shortcomings are, I know they can be quite... Flexible but stuff like the...

Couldn't similar be said for the Legion though? Surely the Legion requires even better cooling considering it's dealing with a GPU as well?

It's a 4060, and the Legion also has the (slightly) better CPU and far better display for a lower cost, hence why I'm curious about the shortcomings, such as potential build quality. It's mostly going to be sat in the home office, occasionally used around the house and very occasionally used on...

I'm looking at the Legion 5 Slim Gen 9, which I think is the 2023 model. From googling it sounds like it's a little flimsy, but I've had worse... One of my old HP laptops caved in every time you pressed a key... I'm feeling like I may as well grab the Legion to be honest.

So I'm looking at getting a decent laptop for work which will consist on some pretty intensive programming workloads requiring a decent CPU, all the rams etc. I was initially looking at the ThinkPad P16s with decent specs: - Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U - 64gb ram - No GPU (not really an issue) The main...

I'm 30 this year if that counts...? But mostly The Finals right now, with a sprinkling of Hunt Showdown, CS, BF2042 and Phas. Occasionally the Sigil 2 wad for doom but it's actually pretty challenging on UV.

I've only really used Ubuntu around the 16 and 20 eras for a few months. I tried Pop OS but that was a Trainwreck to dual boot with secure boot... I'm thinking of giving Fedora a go though

I'll work with him when we both get time I guess and watch stats from both sides. Plex issues are over WiFi, but used WiFi on our end for Plex for years. Other streaming services are fine over WiFi on all the wireless devices - YT, iPlayer, IPTV etc. I'll have a go with Plex via wired as well...

Content is a good shout on the Plex side actually. I recall him saying before to stop streaming stuff at lower quality because the base is 1080p or something and it's stressing the GPU. I'll double check. As for IP ranges, the local IP ranges for his and mine are different - mines 192.168.0...

I'll have a chat with him to see what the server stats look like and other VPN options for remote access to servers. I believe he's on 1gb up & down. The reason it strikes me as odd is we're the only ones with the frequent Plex issues, and this happened before then vanished after I talked to BT...

The VPN itself is a PPTP VPN setup on his side with (as far as I'm aware) minimal encryption, not sure if it's running on his server or router - I can get more detail on the VPN if needed. The VPN was a means to allow me access to the server(s) without him needing to open up more ports on his...

So my friend has a server on his home network with a static IP that I have frequent access to which I use for game servers, file hosting etc. And a while ago he setup a VPN via his network so I can access his local network remotely. This worked fine for a few weeks, but then noticed that when...

I'm branching into the world of contracting in software development, and planning to purchase a laptop after the first couple of months (will be using my PC at first) and noticed the trend that Intel variants seems to be about £200 or so more expensive over their AMD counterparts. I know the...

I've only tried it in a couple of games as I only have a 2070 (had a 3070). Doom Eternal looked good I guess? I turned it on in a few games to see it, but wasn't really "wowed" by it tbh. I'd much prefer the FPS over shiny, but I also tend to play games pretty competitively.

I've always said it's the quiet, nice guys to watch out for :cry:

I just use SteelSeries Sonar with Arctis 5s, I also only really play CS so the setup does me good. I apparently seem to hear a lot more than the rest of my team anyway...

May have to take a look... I still haven't tried BG3 yet either though :cry:

I actually really enjoyed Killswitch, it was fun. I missed the final skin reward by about 3 ribbons though :(

I remember using the JetBrains suite on Ubuntu and the Snaps had an _incredibly_ long boot time. I want to love Linux...

I've actually picked up BF2042 and really enjoying it. CS2 has been a steaming pile of soft poop for a while now, it's nothing but infuriating to play at the moment. BF is really fun to dip in and out.
