    Cece is like, Dad why did you buy such an expensive laptop? :p

    Babe its to gift our beloved xpress. B)

    :D

    You get the Nitro, you ain't touching my Strix. :p

    🤣🤣 Strix is more premium and interesting.. :p

    Unfortunately, Blazin has not placed it in the pool.

    Because he reserved it for me personally. B)

    Ahh, missed the under-the-table deal there.

    We were old RackNerdGang..

    Oh yah. I joined in the middle age Ig.

    Next year maybe, we will have a Strix in the pool.

    I wish first 5 gifts are laptops with different configs this year.. everybody wins a laptop. :p

    Interesting. That would mean, the configs have to be lowered a bit. But, it'd guarantee more laptop winners.

    Exactly.. lower specs..

    Maybe Framework laptops?

    Means?

    TrK is so hyped now, he won't be leaving the first spot for anyone

    Anyone hoping for the laptop needs to grab it from him, but, he's extremely competitive and that's understandable.

    I'm here.

    Go for it then..

    Already working towards it.. one post at a time.. B)

    Keep the pace up though. The beast might wake up anytime :lol:

    Have to strat work. Trying my best

    Good luck !

    Thanks dude.. Need to concentrate today.

    May your concentration be equally divided between work and the thread

    But what about time?

    Am i that much behind? :o

    No, pardon me if I gave that impression. I was just talking about your spirit. Nothing can stop you from reaching that laptop, despite your busy schedule.

    I was kidding. 🤣🤣

    :lol: Got plans for the laptop BTW?

    Don't have any plans.. will try to be active daily. Need to do lots of coding though. WIll try to manage.

    Ok good luck again dude.

    If business is good, maybe I'll upgrade and offer up my used one next year in some kinda of raffle. Would be easier to get a used model through customs I imagine!

    What if I shipped it all torn apart, and the winner had to assemble it? :p

    Reassembling it would be a challenge in itself. BTW, so kind of you to even consider it. At times, with Indian customs, it doesn't even matter, if it's used, broken or brand new.

    Exactly.. don't know what they learn at training.

    It's prolly not just training. Unclear policies could be a very good reason for the uncertainty.

    Good reason for them to earn a lot from the loop holes.

    Yup. Right. There's still some corruption in the customs department

    Tearing apart laptop? worst nightmare. :'(

    It's actually fairly easy to reassemble in most cases, unless you don't desolder anything.

    I am bad at hardware soldered hardware.

    Me as well. I try to stay away as much as possible, but recently I have taken an interest to it

    You soldered anything recently?

    A computer store near me has this wall of motherboards, so cool.

    And just look at all these Linksys WRT series routers!

    Probably acquired them when someone ran outta business.

    They've been around for a while and love to collect like me, so we get along quite well.

    Ahh, are these on sale BTW, the routers, esp?

    They're mostly for display in the shop, but maybe if I asked really nice.

    Here's my setup for the big RackNerd thread of 2021 :D

    Woah, that's impressive, man. That green lit keybaord an HP Pavillion gaming?

    Yeah that's my 2019 HP 15Z, Ryzen 5 1050ti. Not a bad little rig for $450!

    "Not a bad" is an understatement. That laptop had great thermal management (both hardware and software) for the price it retailed for.

    Oddly enough the reviews from Best Buy said the exact opposite, but I snagged it anyway and mine is excellent still to this day. Probably fixed the cooling issue with a BIOS update by the time I purchased it, I guess the fans weren't kicking in when they should have been?

    I was able to play Cyberpunk 2077 on it with no problems when it released, when people with much higher end hardware were complaining of constant problems, so I was happy with my choice.

    I see, maybe you got one of the very first generations. Pavillion series you own was later famous among gamers for badass thermal management.

    My first laptop was compaq. 2GB ram, pentium. 5kg weight.

    Whatever happened to Compaq?!

    Absorbed by HP.

    Yup. That was solid laptop though. Service was also good at that time.

    I have an old Compaq sitting in my mom's garage somewhere, probably only a handful of years newer than that IBM Thinkpad. I should go get it and see if she will still boot.

    I think it will. Mine still turns on. Screen damaged but can see some gibberish on it.

    Still own the old Compaq? Remember how much you got it for?

    Not working. Just have it in a box. I think I got it for 32K at that time.

    Didn't know laptops were that cheap in those days.

    Our customs still charge on it may be. They do unexpected things. :D

    Yup, they might even charge it as a new product.

    They do?

    Have heard of stories of that happening as well. Don't have personal experience of this specific thing though.

    I hope we don't have to see anything like that.

    Nothing special. Got a few friends and neighbours who already sent me cakes. Gonna enjoy them first.
