  • 2 weeks later...

Update:

 

Ordered 2023 Asus Tuf A16 Ryzen 7 7735HS and Radeon 7700S

((didn't know it was 2023 edition til received it though))

(Model name; FA167NT.A16.R7700)

Arrived today at 12 Noon

Gotta get used to it,  the trackpad is way different than my old HP Omen Gaming Laptop

But overall i like it, and will get used to it, and if need be, i'll plug in an external mouse if i do any games that require a mouse.    

 

I'll use it more tomorrow, and maybe get used to it more--but will keep it, as i dislike returning anything, i'll adapt to it, and it will then suit my needs just fine i'm sure

Well so far liking it alot,   Still need to get it open hopefully successfully on Tuesday and get my spare Samsung 990 Evo Plus 1TB NVMe installed as the Game Drive.        For now temporairly using External M.2 Enclosure with my other Kingston NV2 NVMe 1TB installed in that to serve as the machines extra storage.     

 

Touchpad gonna take me some time to get used to, bit different than my old system.    

Neowin Signature be updated once i get around to that shortly here, either on the laptop machine or on the Desktop when i switch later on. 

Old Intel I7 7700HQ Laptop i never upgraded at all, as never was able to get it open the entire time i owned it lol. 

((that one will be recycled possibly by local PC Shop if they take it for that lol))   

Been using PC 2 (Gaming Laptop) since i woke up this morning

(Though still doesn't detect 25H2 via Windows Update) 

 

 

Update: Ok It runs a little warm when doing some tasks--but i think that is normal.

Might still get a clean install done on it, soon as i'm feeling better

 

 

Think my next thing to purchase when i can will be  a Laptop cooling pad with Foam seal, and should be perfect if fits on current desk laptop uses fine

((In the Picture is my old HP Omen Model) but new one is located in same area))

Cooling pad thinking of getting soon as i can

Amazon.com: llano V12 Gaming Laptop Cooling Pad, RGB Laptop Cooler, Laptop Cooling Fan Stand with 5.5 Inch Powerful Turbofan, for 15.6-19in Laptop, Adjustable Speed, Dustproof, 3-Port USB Hub, Black (RGB) : Electronics

 

 

Only spot i got to put it right now unforuately 

I can try to get a newer desk in the future, and The Cooling pad, and i should be set--and then i can really switch off nights using it or mornings if i don't wanna be at my Main Desktop.   

Gaming Streamed from Desktop to Laptop via Steam Remote Play felt like playing locally, no lag, no drop outs with the Wifi or nothing

Why not get a cheap laptop and play on Geforce Now?
granted not all games are available however there are several hundred (thousand?) of titles.

Even paying for Ultimate saves you a ton in the long run in always having latest hardware (or at  the most 1 generation behind)

Well i guess i'm old school, and already purchased The Asus Tuf A16 Gaming Laptop  FA617NT.A16.R7700

So far its working well, still have to find the quiet time to get the 2nd M.2 installed, but overall it runs good

    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • A different thing with Russia. When you say is it better, depends on things. It is better that we don't have the E.U making rules and laws that have nothing to do with them. Is the trading part better? No, that is really mucked up, but then we knew that was going to happen and we would have make agreements, like we do with other parts of the world. Freedom of movement is certainly better, but could be improved, we still need more control over our borders. do you live in the U.K?
    • So what am I quoting from them? I never listened to what Farage or his cronies said. I wanted the U.K to leave the E.u years before the referendum and it had nothing to do with Farage and his cronies. So what country do you live in? Did we work much better together? We were always at logger heads with the E.U because we disagreed with them so much. Maggie was always on at them. I would have thought the E.U was glad to get rid of us as we stopped the integration or made it a two tier. Now without us they can integrate more. I would not have voted out if it was just a trading block and we can still work together on somethings.
