    , and I cannot stress this enough, yes.

    You can find some threads on intermittent Wi-Fi issues where people create a little shortcut to toggle Wi-Fi or toggle Bluetooth or something, so I think the hardware is imperfect, but it is really ridiculous:

    Full screen eight 4K YouTube videos and swipe across all the spaces in a blink or two. Run local language models (e.g. Gemma on LM Studio) in the privacy of your own lap. Render some meme videos or clips of the kids in seconds.

    You still wait for stuff. The computer has to turn on. The web browser has to load. You’re buying a ton of power that comes in when billions of parameters are involved but for some simple day-to-day stuff you’re going to experience it on the snappy side of regular speeds.

    So overall, that pricing graph is great, isn’t it? What a steal. So nice of them to pay for that depreciation while hopefully not put too much stress on the machine. Hope there’s a nice private seller with a similar rate somewhere.

    PS: battery life? It’s got a battery! 😉 idk, 6hr if you’re not optimizing too hard or going to hard in the other direction… can’t be quoted on that figure but it’s not a lightweight use all day in the woods machine, it’s a desktop experience anywhere (esp. where you have a power outlet)

    Ethicsmaxxed route

    I can’t imagine a court in the country seeing a problem with the call and cancel trick. Although,

    permission to moralize?

    personally, I want to get a great deal in a way I’ll feel good about… maybe have a story to share with fellow misers.

    But I do put myself in the business’s shoes and I think it’s fair for everyone to walk out knowing how good of a deal they got and how much money they made.

    And when you’re inside the building and they run their numbers and based on that they shake your hand, to go outside of the building and reach back to change the numbers–in a way that’d make them take back the handshake–it exceeds the level of cunning I’d want to be in a negotiation.

    Also Lemmings, I promise I am not the parent commenter’s mother. Someone, take my soapbox before I make someone else want to log off! 😇
