Thank you!

I don’t mind moving to hardware.watch.

Are there multiple admins who manage hardware.watch or just one? Don’t want another lemm.ee situation. :)

I am assuming I would need to create a local account (alt), right?

Now this is my type of laptop. 18" inches, top of the range performance (with no compromise for battery life and weight).

The $6K+ price seems very high considering the nature of such a device.

You’d be better off buying a Raspberry Pi (or another SBC) and using it both as a DIY server and backup computer.

It’s like with resolution. I believe anything above 8K is imperceivable in a typical desktop monitor usage setup (i.e. you are not sitting 2+ meters away from your monitor).

I did have it before, but I would probably have gotten a 24" if I didn’t, because I like the second monitor to have a 16:10 aspect ratio. My primary is 32" 1440 (16:9).

If it was easy to get a 2560x1600 resolution monitor, I would gotten a 32" monitor.

I have a 24" device as a second monitor.

Probably a few 10s of thousands around the globe per year (per OEM model series)?

That’s rough. I’ve heard pretty bad things about Razor’s customer support, sounds like their software isn’t that good either.

Their software is worse than your typical OEM tools and utilities packages?

400/150 Mbps - $55/month

I pay the equivalent of $10 USD per month (we don’t do list prices, it’s the actual price) for 1 Gbit fibre.

And I am willing to bet that the “five-year price lock” advertising is fraud. There has to be a clause in their TOS that as per the company “price lock” means the ability to change prices.

This is is honestly a tough one (although within reason, no is going with CRT style monitors thicknesses these days).

Maybe the brand? I couldn’t care less who the OEM as long as the product is good, at a fair prices and local support exists.

Assuming this 60 Hz only since this is targeting the professional audience?

610 Hz is somewhat memorable even without the name.

Imagine if this somebow massively accelerated the development of viable fusion power.

I generally prefer text reviews for tech hardware because YT content with charts is more difficult to navigate and tech YouTubers can be sketchy (not all of course, some are really good and consumer-focused).

Not really, no.

Some budget gaming laptops from MSI are shipping with just 8 GB of RAM and an anti-tamper sticker to dissuade end-users from upgrading the memory themselves.

This is just petty.

First time I’ve heard of Dell’s IPS black tech. Online reviews suggest some noteable improvements.

Unfortunately I don’t have too much experience with Dell monitors (they are relatively rare in my country, especially newer models).

Would also be interested to hear from someone with such an IPS black monitor.

The top performer is Asus ROG Ally X.

Not exactly a laptop! 😆
