#

And a better model I think

atomic current
#

the battery is probably the majority of the dollar value on such a thing

compact mesa
#

The original eBay one seems to be the winner so far I guess

#

Theyโ€™re bad or good?

sweet phoenix
#

Yeah its just the 4060 is the sweet spot for a mobile gpu atm

velvet summit
#

technically, yes, practically, no

young matrix
sweet phoenix
#

And its a good model, has a good cpu, and otherwise decent specs

atomic current
#

I'm not sure what kind of replacement program they'd be running, but maybe you send it back to them when it's kaput and they put in a new batt for a different customer

compact mesa
unreal trail

velvet summit
#

or they might not even give you anything

#

maybe you even have to bring it to recycle yourself

sweet phoenix
young matrix
#

wdym 100 more

#

wait whats the other one

sweet phoenix
#

Also wait gigabyte g6 is kinda ass from what I remember

young matrix
#

?

gleaming sedge
sweet phoenix
#

Yeah thats not bad

compact mesa
#

Is windows 11 pro really that much better than just normal windows 11

sweet phoenix
#

I'd say it's between the ebay 4060 one and the 7600s

compact mesa
#

Itโ€™s a 600 dollar increase

young matrix
#

on a laptop id say pro is useless

sweet phoenix
#

Gross

compact mesa
#

Ok awesome

velvet summit
compact mesa
#

32 is enough? No need to upgrade to 64?

sweet phoenix
#

The gigabyte g6 isn't great, I would avoid it, especially at that extra cost

gleaming sedge
young matrix
sweet phoenix
#

No, 32 is plenty.

compact mesa
#

Alrigjt perfect

#

I like that one a lot, it might be the winner

sweet phoenix
#

Which one?

young matrix
#

asus?

compact mesa
#

Yes

#

The asus 16โ€

sweet phoenix
#

If it is the gigabyte g6, it is a worse built laptop. @elfin mural or @mortal grail could elaborate on that

#

Ah alr

gleaming sedge
sweet phoenix
#

The a16 is great

#

I think the 7600s is similar performance wise compared to 4060

compact mesa
#

I think thatโ€™s the winner then

gleaming sedge
#

hopefully it would last awhile and not go bad in just a few years

#

i actually still need to get the projector and screen for it and the chromebook for the movies

#

market place time

#

anyone have a Samsung Chromebook by chance i have a question

elfin mural
#

with some games roasting 6800m

tranquil pebble
#

imagine blu ray but the size of a laser disc

sweet phoenix
sweet phoenix
elfin mural
#

yeah it's just a 4050 with extra vram

sweet phoenix
#

I'd still go with the one on ebay then, and upgrade ram if you need to

#

Its pretty easy

elfin mural
#

4050 with vram it should've had

sweet phoenix
#

Ty for the correction

#

Major difference there, $100 more for worse performance

elfin mural
#

anyway im looking at budget tier iems

#

and it's making me indecisive

rancid juniper
#

Graphics card

ancient swift
rancid juniper
elfin mural
#

that's just benchmarks

#

in actual games it doesn't get to 4060

ancient swift
#

Averaging the benchmarks ye.

elfin mural
#

4050 mainly gets handicapped there due to vram amount and bus

mental yoke
#

donald trump wins

rancid juniper
#

NO, not enough

elfin mural
#

6 gigs 96 bit PepeRealizes

mental yoke
#

trump 52% desantis 20.2%

#

haley lower

ancient swift
elfin mural
#

that 5% is still too high

rancid juniper
#

Now it's 2% slower

#

โœ…

elfin mural
#

4050 laptop loses to 3060 laptop in some titles

#

thanks to less bus

rancid juniper
#

Needs more busses

#

Smh

elfin mural
#

i experience this first hand owning 4050 tuf kekw

#

the extra juice is useless

#

it only needs 100w

rancid juniper
#

100w laptop

elfin mural
#

100w on gpu that is

rancid juniper
#

And mine can take 25w if I don't want thermal throttling

rancid juniper
elfin mural
#

this thing has 240w brick

unreal trail
#

ok

rancid juniper
#

FAT

elfin mural
#

it is indeed fat

#

but actually not much more than the old asus 120w brick

rancid juniper
#

You know, I'm curious how much power the Ryzen 8000 desktop cpus will suck up

elfin mural
#

then again design from almost 10 years ago

rancid juniper
#

Especially the higher end

elfin mural
#

not much im guessing

rancid juniper
#

Didn't the Radeon 780M consumed like 50w?

#

The desktop chips probably got it cut down

#

I'd be surprised if it's just like the mobile varients

#

1:1

ancient swift
rancid juniper
elfin mural
#

but is it worth it to get 7600s over a 4060 laptop that's $100 less

ancient swift
#

its out for some games on RDNA3, its a beta feature though

gleaming sedge
#

Maybe I could get a good projector from military auction

elfin mural
#

might as well buy the less expensive thing and put the money on an ssd

#

or more ram

icy ore
ancient swift
#

I'm just saying that saying the 7600s is 4050 level is wrong

#

like what?

elfin mural
#

in jarrod's tech reviews of tuf 7600s against 4050 nitro 5 (which has 140w variant btw)

#

it wasn't really ahead of 4050

rancid juniper
#

Just like how the 1080ti was Nvidia's greatest mistake

AMD's variant is either the 6950xt or 6700xt

#

Heck maybe the whole RDNA2 gen

mental yoke
rancid juniper
#

Except 6400 n such

#

๐Ÿ’€

velvet summit
#

also it seems like this specific one can be used as a UPS if you wish

mental yoke
#

just use ur car battery

velvet summit
elfin mural
#

he's not getting a ups

#

it's like a power station

#

they use lithium

mental yoke
#

$$$

velvet summit
ancient swift
velvet summit
#

car batteries, are mostly flooded lead acid batteries that aren't sealed and are a hazard indoors

elfin mural
#

gimme a sec

velvet summit
#

due to explosive hazard and spilled acid hazard

mental yoke
velvet summit
velvet summit
#

same price as a good quality SLA UPS for workstations and such

mental yoke
#

kinda sketchy

tranquil pebble
velvet summit
#

most UPS's are assembled in the asian regions due to very low employee wages

velvet summit
#

and have it secured somewhere that you wont accidentally spill the acid

elfin mural
#

it does indeed lead 3060, which in turns is faster than 4050

tranquil pebble
velvet summit
#

it's not sealed

mental yoke
velvet summit
#

no

elfin mural

the vid i referenced was tuf a16

muh lappy

#

not bad for a controller

elfin mural
#

terrible response time on the 144hz panel tho

velvet summit
#

but car batteries generate hydrogen when charging, which is fine in a car because where the battery is stored, it's ventilated well and doesnt have any risk of collecting a bunch of hydrogen to ๐Ÿ’ฅ

elfin mural
#

and i have the second most base variant

#

7735hs+4050

#

the base variant has 6800h (same cpu) and 2050

tranquil pebble
velvet summit
gleaming sedge
mental yoke
velvet summit
#

because even flooded lead acid batteries are covered with a lid most of the time

elfin mural
#

it releases gas as it gets used

velvet summit
#

technically sealed but not airtight

velvet summit
elfin mural
#

all cars that put the battery in the trunk or interior of the car has a small vent for gas release

#

else you'd get explosions

mental yoke

hmmm

#

i would blow myself up

tranquil pebble

so i wont try that

Think I can get luck enough to find a good projector for a decent price on market place? If not maybe I'll have to look around on govplanet at military auctions

tranquil pebble
#

they tend to react very violently

mental yoke
#

right

velvet summit
# mental yoke hmmm

charging lead acid batteries has the side effect of electrolysis which splits the water molecules (H2O) into H2 O2 (2 H2O -> 2 H2 + O2)

tranquil pebble
mental yoke
#

its like rocket fuel

#

and RDX

#

right

velvet summit
#

no?

mental yoke
#

i will stop guessing and listen lol

velvet summit
elfin mural
#

batt has vents too ya, but you gotta hook up the pipe correctly first

#

or the gas collects in the car and well

caesium + fluorine = very energetic reaction

carbon monoxide doesn't cause explosions

tranquil pebble
#

no, carbon monoxide results from burning fuels not from batteries

elfin mural
#

oxygen and hydrogen however can explode

tranquil pebble
#

and is not explosive... however CO has its own dangers

elfin mural
#

that you can suffocate from it

tranquil pebble
#

very easily since your body can not detect it

#

The good news is that preventing that is also quite easy... CO alarms in house, especially if you have anything fuel powered

mental yoke
#

yeah they just hooked up a Co2 monitor hardwired finally

#

here

#

i mean CO

tranquil pebble
#

CO, not CO2... your body can detect CO2

elfin mural
#

co2 also comes from exhaust pipes, but, they're far less dangerous in a sense

mental yoke
elfin mural
#

it's also because you can feel it

tranquil pebble
#

If you breathe in CO2, you'll know it... your body will detect it isn't getting the right air

#

CO is another story which is why CO is dangerous

elfin mural
#

diesel engines produce much less co2, but more co

mental yoke
#

a barbecue

elfin mural
#

it's why they have dpf and all those devices

tranquil pebble
#

CO is something that isn't usually an issue if it is ventilated properly

mental yoke
#

no indoor barbecues

elfin mural
#

becomes a bit of a problem in cities, especially europe

#

uk i think banned diesel cars from entering cities

#

or put high duty to enter

mental yoke
#

diesels spend 30+ years on the road

tranquil pebble
#

but if something goes wrong with the combustion on an indoor fuel burner (i.e. a furnace), it can produce a lot more CO than normal... which then builds up and can kill you... if you don't have a CO alarm

mental yoke
#

people just panic because of thick black smoke

#

although a colorless odorless gas like CO is more dangerous

tranquil pebble
#

Well, burning too much diesel can definitely lower air quality overall

#

and thats definitely not great for you

elfin mural
#

black smoke certainly has an immediate effect on air quality

mental yoke
#

nothing is great for us in cyberpunk world

elfin mural
#

the particulates still can cause cancer

#

or respiratory problems

mental yoke
#

my buddy's been telling me to take antiinflammatory foods

elfin mural
#

and tbh only old diesels spew out black smoke

tranquil pebble
elfin mural
#

diesels since like 1990 with good maintenance won't ever push out black smoke

mental yoke
#

i dont even know what it means LOL

tranquil pebble

"rolling coal"

elfin mural

or not modded badly

#

there's a ton of diesel trucks here that are modded to roll coal

mental yoke
elfin mural

cuz smoke = speed

#

I'm fine with trucks that rolls coal needs some timeout from driving

elfin mural
#

there was an accident where an isuzu crashed into a rolls royce

atomic current
#

yeah the only reason for someone to roll coal is their remarkable lead intake thinkies

tranquil pebble

the bills were the price of three isuzus

it took out rear suspension, bumper and sensors

elfin mural

i don't think hilux will be that favorable in the us all things considered

even if toyota slaps a v6 in it

I like to think of it as amazon. Amazon is a marketplace that virtually anyone can sell on and while they do list the source (seller) they also but a lot of marketing and other nonsense links that make it seem as if they product is from the official seller when it is in fact not. Now I have not used google play store in quite some time but even if they list sources it can very easily be swayed just as in the case of amazon. It all depends on how the company integrates it
