It's not ASUS, dudes. I had one of their EeBooks and it worked fine.

 

Like Brandon said, get the business class, 100x better than any consumer grade.

 

Can even get Walmart's:

 

 

You had a bottom of the barrel machine that was far less complex. I am not shocked you saw no issues. Also, how can you say it’s not ASUS and then recommend a  business class or Walmart brand, neither of which will be provided by ASUS?

That Walmart brand was a joke. I don't see you laughing.

 

I'm saying it's not ASUS, because EVERY manufacturer on Earth has issues. He just has a bad pick out of the haystack.

 

I recommend business class because they are the top of the line. Did I say "Get a business class laptop!" No, I was just referring to them, as Brandon said.

I agree. I bought two Alienware laptops, first one just kept on breaking, and second one, had some issues (Overheating, which I fixed by applying a better paste), but Alienware fixed it within days. (When I told them the machine was overheating, they sent a tech with a brand new cooling assembly. Imo, it was overkill, but the tech agreed to apply my own thermal paste, Grizzly Kryonaut, and now temps never go over 70c.)

Hey, as long as it works in the end. :D 

No the screen flicker issue on the Rog series is unique to that model. When I bought a rog not even on the floor 6 months it took asus 2 months after that to address the issue. They will more likely replace the videocard with one with a bios on the video card updated so the issue will be gone. A business class laptop is not for gaming because I use one for modeling and the video cards are quadro.....

Actually, some business class laptops are meant for video editing, which need to be of gaming grade to be useful.

Nope. Only the jokes worth laughing at.

Explain? I know some that are gaming range. They are not made for gaming, though, they do have the throughput.

Now this one I will laugh at (you quoted me). 🤣

 

To answer though, there is a difference between business and prosumer models. You are thinking prosumer.

Here is my point. Look closely at what you quoted. I don’t know it all but I know how to follow a conversation. The only person acting like a know it all here is you.

No no need to answer, this conversation is way too schizophrenic for me. 🖖

    • I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.
    • I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
