    Yes I did, that pic is from the initial boot (note the incorrect date/time).




    Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the performance.

    I remember that, and this laptop was patched pretty quickly (as expected for a business laptop).

    Another thing is how annoying the Lenovo Vantage software is. It's nice to get updates if there's a major problem or security vulnerability, but it pushes a registry cleaner and might be what tried to force-install the wrong audio driver (causing a blue screen) once. None of the updates have set more reasonable CPU power limits yet, and it probably doesn't matter since setting them to what I think are Intel's defaults (55W PL1 and 45W PL2) still makes it go over 90°C under load.

    9th gen and earlier has a critical CSME vulnerability that requires a UEFI-BIOS update. (remote-code-execution) I had to get rid of my 9th-gen, because there was no UEFI-BIOS update with the new CSME found. The Intel CSME-checking utility failed it.

    Re: Post your system.......

    I'm surprised by how low the prices are on gaming laptops now. That one actually looks nice. I get about the same battery life on my current laptop with a 90Whr battery.

    I don't think I posted my current laptop here, except for the other thread when I considered returning it and getting something else before being unable to find anything better. It's a Lenovo ThinkPad P53.

    CPU: Core i7-9750H
    RAM: 16GB
    GPU: Nvidia Quadro T1000
    Storage: 1TB Western Digital SN730 SSD
    Display: 1920x1080 60Hz HDR400 (HDR off because it's bugged in Windows and the brightness keeps dropping to the minimum)

    Aside from the poor cooling (and Lenovo setting both CPU power limits to 90W, basically keeping the CPU in its short-term boost clock) and the strangely limited audio hardware (48kHz sample rate and no TRRS jack for headsets) that I've talked about before, the GPU has an older NVENC version that is missing some features and is equivalent in quality and speed to Intel Quick Sync in the CPU.

    8-10 hrs. with "general usage" (web browsing, MS office, etc., it has switchable graphics so under "light" usage it will use the integrated RX Vega 7 graphics rather than the nVidia card, and even the integrated graphics are more powerful than the dedicated K2100M in my Precision M4800), but it will suck the battery down in 2-3 hrs. with graphically intense tasks (gaming or video editing). Overall not too bad considering my Precision M4800 with an I7-4910mq and Nvidia Quadro K2100M will suck down its 97 Wh battery in 2-3 hrs. just browsing the web and barely lasts an hour doing graphically intense tasks.

    Laptops have definitely improved substantially over the last few years in efficiency (which is good since hot-swappable batteries are all but extinct), and the last couple gens of intel/AMD CPUs have finally gotten significant performance improvements as well since being all but stagnant for 5+ years. The "mid-range" ryzen 5 5600H scores 17,192 on passmark, vs. the "high-end" (for the time) I7-4910mq in my M4800 only scoring 6,195 (and even the I7-4790 in my desktop only scoring 7,237).

    Re: Post your system.......

    The first time I've bought a new (rather than referb/business off-lease) laptop in over a decade, but I figured I'd need to get something with Windows 11 eventually (eventually it will probably be my main laptop, but for now I'll be using it alongside my Dell Precision M4800 as I'm not ready to go "all-in" on Windows 11 yet) and MicroCenter had a heck of a deal on these ($599).

    HP Victus 15-fb0121nr:
    -CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600H
    -GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX1650
    -SSD: 512GB NVMe
    -RAM: 16GB (upgraded from the 8GB it came with) DDR4 3200MHz
    -Display 15.6" 1920X1080 144hz refresh
    -OS: Windows 11 Home (will likely be upgraded to Pro)

    Build quality and serviceability (7 Philips screws to remove the bottom panel and then you have access to pretty much everything) are decent for a current production laptop. It is mostly plastic but has aluminum reinforcements and feel fairly solid (not quite mobile workstation solid, but better than many consumer laptops), and has a LiPo battery (like just about everything these days), but is fairly easy to replace if needed (remove the bottom cover, then it is 4 Philips screws and a connector, at least HP didn't glue it into the case or use "specialty" screws like some manufactures are doing).

    Lol

    Life changes been keeping me busy. New hobbies, new jobs, homesteading, finally found a mate, trying to work my way into shutting down my life here and pulling up roots to move to Tennessee.

    Not everyone can say they have gone 180mph down a highway in TN.

    Not everyone can say they scaled the steel structure of the first Edison powerplant west of the Mississippi.

    Im just out here keeping myself busy and trying to make something of myself

    And well, the way things are going in the tech industry, ive lost interest in most of the mainstream stuff. TVs aren't worth fixing. Phones are outdated by the time you break the screen. Hifi is just module lego or one huge monolith anymore.

    Not much fun to tinker with anymore for me, sadly.

    Drive SMART status not showing up through RAID controller?
    by canadaboy25
    Hey guys,

    I have an Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 motherboard with AMD RAIDXpert. I set up a 1000GB RAID1 array on it. This was about 8 years ago. Every once in a while, a power outage or something would knock one drive offline and degrade the array. After a reboot the drive would be back online and it would rebuild just fine.

    Recently, a drive dropped offline and the array became degraded. I figured it was no big deal and rebooted then set it to rebuild overnight. The next morning I took a look and both drives had dropped offline at 70% rebuild. Uh oh.

    I rebooted...

    Dell Precision T7910 no bios, no post after applying SAS/RAID setup
    by bmxlovah
    Hi,

    My Dell Precision T7910 died after enabling onboard SAS controller and applying RAID settings. There were no hardware changes between working and not working state, only setup (via bios -> controller settings). After applying settings and reboot PC turns on, flash leds (normally) but there's no further action, it just stays on with no graphics and no keyboard led's on. There's no Dell logo, nothing. I've tried resetting bios by jumper, replacing cpu's, replacing ram, removed/replaced cmos battery, disconnecting all drives etc. I've also dumped .bins from mobo chips SLI1 (16...

    Abit ST6-Raid repair
    by tbalint3
    Hello All,

    I am trying to repair an old Abit ST6-R motherboard.

    The symptoms are the following:
    I got it in a non-working state. I was told that it sometimes turned on, but many times just the CPU fan was spinning and no other signs of life, the board didn't POST, and now it doesn't POST at all.

    It was full of bulged electrolytic capacitors, so I replaced all of them with new Low-ESR ones, but it didn't solve the problem.
    If I install a CPU in the S370 socket, only the fans are spinning and no POST. There are no beep codes even if the RAM DIMMs...

    Getting Windows to boot after changing SATA from RAID to AHCI
    by canadaboy25
    Hey guys I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to get Windows 10 to boot up and install drivers after changing the bios settings for the sata port from raid to ahci.

    My motherboard is an Asus M5A99FX pro R2.0 and when I built the PC I set all of the sata ports to raid mode. There is one setting for ports 1-4 and one setting for port 5 and the esata port. I currently have 4 drives set up in two raid 1 arrays on ports 1-4. My ssd containing Windows 10 is plugged into port 5. I also have an external esata enclosure with a 2tb drive that I use as a Windows backup plugged into...
