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

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
