HP laser printers are solid, too bad I cannot say the same for their business practice

I read that Brothers are more acceptable to 3rd party refills and less of the firmware lock BS by HP. YMMV as I see few users here.

I am not BAPE fans but I do like their design and I think this is the 1st time fashion collaborate with IT - Laptop.
Coincidence I need a laptop, survey since months ago. I like this design and the spec also very high, suite me. 😊

It came with following spec and the cost I think reasonable, especially it is collaboration with famous Japan street design brand - BAPE.
So I feel why not, great spec with awesome design.

  • IntelĀ® Coreā„¢ i9-13900H Processor 2.6 GHz (24MB Cache, up to 5.4 GHz, 14 cores, 20 Threads) with Intel EVO certified
  • 16GB LPDDR5 on board
  • 15.6-inch, 2.8K (2880 x 1620) OLED 16:9 aspect ratio, 0.2ms response time, 120Hz refresh rate, VESA Certified DisplayHDR True Black 600
  • Sound by harman/kardon with Dolby Atmos
  • 1TB M.2 NVMeā„¢ PCIeĀ® 4.0 SSD
  • 1x Thunderboltā„¢ 4 supports display
  • 1.60 kg (3.53 lbs)
I know it is only IntelĀ® Iris Xe Graphics and not Nvidia but I don't want gaming laptop, I prefer something light and silent.

Personally I'd have went with the standard look model. These collabo tie ins have always been a con to me.

But since you went for the design, it is justifiable to those who like to be a bit different and stand out. Nice specs is also good to have.

This not going to happen. šŸ˜…

I already using RTX 4090, buying the Spider-man Limited Edition Zotac GPU is downgrade as it only came with RTX 4070 Ti.
Even it came with RTX 4090, I also won't buy as no reason to buy.

PS5 is different as I never own any PS5 and I want PS5 but not in white color, and this Spider-man limited look very nice to me, so it is a best time to have PS5.

Ohh I thought ur a Spidey fan too. Ali does sell wraps for PS5 or even whole patterned cover replacements.

Just show how card on prebuilt PC
As normally ppl buy self built pc

If 2 fan card nearly block air flow, i measure about 26cm long, most 2 fan card i see 24 or 25cm

With just one fan I am concern ur GPU is sucking heat radiated from the PSU below it. A two fan cooler could still draw heat away to the 2nd fan and blow out of GPU. Anyhow with such tight casing, do monitor the temps inside.

ITEM BOUGHT : Momentum True Wireless 4
DATE : 09/08/2024
PRICE : RM 0.00
LOCATION OF PURCHASE : Sennheiser warranty replacement
PICTURE :
REMARKS :

Sent in MTW 3 for warranty replacement as i had a month left on the 2 year warranty and was facing constant battery issues. with earbuds not charging. Got sent back a brand new pair of MTW 4 as a replacement. They are definitely much better then previous generation that was plagued with battery problem due to supplier issues as far as I know.

Thats the good thing about Western world consumer protection, you can often get equivalent or something better. Here in Msia either they reject your claim (reason: user wear & tear) or give you a lower grade replacement if your lucky.

Not exactly something new but on my recent trip to Tokyo I went to a 2nd hand junk paradise store thats literally called Junk Paradise and found an Intel LGA775/115x/1366 tower cooler by Deepcool. Its a beefy 120mm cooler with 4 direct contact heatpipes just was missing its fan but for just 500 Yen it was a real steal as it looks practically brand new laugh.gif

Coincidentally I was also looking for a quieter cooler for the family PC, an oldie but goldie Core i5 760 that was running on a noisy stock cooler all these while.

user posted image user posted image
The tower heatsink was surprisingly light at 457g. I manage to replace the missing fan with an unused Tecware case fan I had and I paid <RM2 for fan brackets.

Altogether a new 120mm tower cooler for RM 15, where to get? icon_rolleyes.gif

EDIT
Doing a bit of search found that this is an early gen Gammaxx 400 that came with single colour LED fan, Toms even had a review on it

bought to upgrade wifi speed since changed to maxis gigabit. quite good speed. but house concrete too thick. getting around 450 mbps in my room above router. ordered ax 210 wifi card and i will see if that also improves it further

As counterintuitive it might be, change your signal bandwidth to 2.4G, that will give you better wall penetration signal stability but losing some of the speed.

I see. Could be due to crappy Realtek wifi chipset module. These are usually OEM fave cuz being cheap.
