12/10 - Simple Sunday!

Dude look at 10:50 lmao.

 

Check my edits, digging looks like the specs are fake and the rest might be too I should have cross checked before posting that but I wouldn't be surprised if 2000 series is out soon.

My fiance bought me one of these for Christmas. I wanted a gaming laptop but he wanted me to try AMD since I've always been diehard intel/nvidia. He works at AMD and is curious of my opinion of it.

hah yeah I knew that was the troll post from when people mentioned it.

https://archive.fo/MoY00 just in case they edit it lol

As far as the laptop goes I've heard that the new AMD chips in those laptops are decent for gaming or at least decent for the price. I don't follow laptop stuff much personally though as I have a desktop.

"It's some of the best integrated graphics in the world, but it's still integrated."

It is apparently comparable to a GTX 950m

 

Does anyone have a specific keyboard recommendation? I know I want to get browns this time since my computer science classes are starting up. I do also game but the coding is more of a priority.

 

She's not even shy about it wtf lmao.

mTurk should use her video as a cautionary advertisement for premium quals.

 

Get back from my workout, see Bearnie sitting in my chair.

Me: Move dude.

Bearnie: Get your supervisor

Me: What? That doesn't even make sense dude.

Beanie: Your supervisor MEOW PLEASE!

 

Yeah shit like her is why amazon's quals can be worth it lol

 

Browns on the Logitech G710+ are nice, the board is sturdy and has mostly survived being smashed and dropped in the RV:

Steelseries' offerings don't come with Browns, but they have the best programmability of the whole keyboard set: You can program the board by connecting to a local server that the config software hosts and communicating via a REST API and JSON like you'd do with any other web app. So you can write Tampermonkey scripts that interact with the KB directly:

And for more eclectic tastes, I've been looking into adding this 40% keyboard to my collection:

Thank you!

 

Also, I'm using a G610 right now on this computer, but the Reds version instead of Browns.

What are Browns doing for me? Just programmable keys? I'd do that but I wouldn't want them off the KB.

 

Corsair's RGB keyboard has pretty good software that I use a bunch to make macros for mturk

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ER4B7YM/?tag=thtv02-20

I have the cherry mx silent of that keyboard

 

@DikDik

If you are only with just red leds (gross imo lol) corsair has a lower end version of that keyboard for a lot cheaper.

I dunno if it has support for their macro software though

Yeah, I've read some reviews but there aren't many from people that actually used it to play games. Just the benchmarks and test runs. It's taking forever to download BDO so I can try it out -_-

Screen has some bad backlight bleed in a couple spots at the top. Not just the normal ips glow I probably won't really notice it when using it though.
