125% is recommended but still small. Model is ec2076ax, HP pavilion. ~90k(fk). On a quick search noticed there were some complaints online about missing one finger edge scrolling on touchpads (esp. precision touchpads) due to flaws in 8.1 or 10 windows in implementing device drivers.

Less likely to get new monitor or anything to expand modularly. OLED would have been great at laptop level but I was told here it wasn’t necessary. XPS 15 might have been in contention then or some 2.2 k display laptops. But those laptops in Lenovo were less than 1.6kg and lacked some other...

Netflix account seems to have some titles with 10 bit 4K. If I know the ‘how to’ may come handy.

Read somewhere settings need to be tweaked to get dGPU going for multimedia like forcing the system to use GPU for multimedia to improve quality and reduce choppiness.

Well ended up buying 2076ax one with almost double the initial budget. Keeping the search open was like misery. Things weren’t moving as I would have liked. It’s 11 ready as the manufacturer’s site listed. Was looking at ideapad 5 ryzen 5700u and got stretched to 5800H. Two firsts 1) First...

Ok thanks. Yes I understand specific model or brand should be my call. I’m hearing a new headache requirement for windows 11 like processor eligibility and TPM 2.0 requirement. I believe every model we discussed here are windows 11 proof or is there anything to look for this win 11 proofing...

Ok among the three the two I mentioned—thinkpad e15, Hp ryzen 1103au; and ideapad 5 or the 7 mentioned just above by Akash which may satisfy my requirements most from the point of build quality, performance , video watching, basic gaming?

Onyx and victus are above my weight threshold 1.9kg —2.2 and 2.48 respectively. Not a regular or AAA type gamer. Used to do shooting, racing , fifa, cricket games but in laptops games got sickening due to stutter. Only later realised the difference between laptop and desktop difference. Well...

Yes has been difficult to find good display options, even looking at 60-75k budget, result is same. Came across these models: 1)...

Hi Have come across following Display parameters. How important are these? Many models suggested usually lie in the low range, would they make for good display and viewing for HD content like OTT content? Nits 250 or 300 is called low end by some reviewers(end users). 45% NTSC in most...

If you can throw more light on what’s confusing may be able to explain better. Or I must be missing something. The allure about build was about thinkpad and the reservations I expressed and experience was about ideapad. I had clicked the suggested model on Amazon there I saw some reviews...

First Lenova model (lslim 5500u)—does it have reliable build? One review showed how the display is shaky with ceiling fan’s air flow, a few more said colour accuracy was poor. Rj45 missing but might overlook it if otherwise the machine is good . Last time when I had Lenova(ideapad), build was...

That would be a relief. Documentation for usb C power delivery is a lot confusing, one would wonder if they are talking about charge IN or charge OUT. Incidentally checked out a latitude 14 and found it’s 1.5+ weight satisfying. So I’m having second thoughts on getting something that may...

:) I want to know if ordinary usb c can charge anything at all like we sometimes charge small devices on USB A. For example I used to charge/transfer data iPod on ‘usb A port’ and also used pen drives on usb A to transfer files to and fro. Likewise any utility for ordinary usb C?

Battery backup is not a criterion fot. Whatever is claimed I have always got just about 2 hours in first month, then goes down to 1+ hour in six months and half an hour after 1 year and from there in a few months may be 2 to 5 minutes and subsequently zero. But weight is a definite criterion...
