Here is the top policy regarding apple: "people will not even notice". This is shocking that on Apple's forum people talking about "missing photos" but they are not aware of very serious problems. It may take even 1h to hack the macbook (time window required between 1-10h). We heard a lot about issues with Asus service in America recently, however I believe that the most basic right of customers around the world is to know if the system they buy is safe, and if not- what they should be aware of. Having full information, customers may make decision to buy the product or not.

Quote from: Doru Preda on May 17, 2024, 08:58:04There is another hidden downgrade on this model:
Maximum resolution: 5120 x 1440 @ 144 Hz (DP)
5120 x 1440 @ 60 Hz (HDMI)
That means the HDMI ports are not able to push the full 144Hz or even 120Hz. In other markets those ports are marketed as HDMI 2.0 instead of 2.1

Sounds like they are using their own definition of "HDMI 2.1".

Quote from: The Werewolf on Today at 01:04:43Y'know... a clear link to the actual place you can order one would have been nice.

Fair point, thought the link in the sources section would suffice.

I've added one in the text now.

Quote from: heffeque on Today at 13:59:28You can go ahead and look for laptop lists that meet other criterias that are more to your liking.

I don't really get why you complain about this list not adhering to your specific needs as if other people couldn't have other needs and find this list helpful.

Is he complaining? Who is seriously doing 8-hour long work without taking a 15-30 minute break once?

Who is doing an 8-hour long workday out in the wilderness without a single plug anywhere in their near proximity? How do they get internet connectivity there? Why would they voluntarily travel many hours each day to work at the top of the mountain or in the middle of some large desert?

Then the most important question - who in the right mind is doing any kind of longer work anywhere in any kind of urban area, such as at their desk in their office, with a plug being literally 20-30 cm away from their laptop but they think "Naaah, I'll keep working on battery, no time to pop the charger in, it's only 9 am."? And then they work their whole day at the office without taking a single break to go to the toilet or to eat something so their laptop simply cannot get charged not even for 10 minutes? And if it can, why would they immediately unplug it?

(Let's ignore the fact that most offices have multiple monitors and docks to connect laptops and provide power delivery to those same laptops.)

Or do people at home can't afford to pay their electricity bills so they have to have 15+ hours of battery life on a single charge (because they charge it at work)?

Please, name one single scenario, just one, where someone is 10+ hours away from any power outlet, like if they survive a plane crash deep in a jungle, and when their main thought is not to survive but to work, work, work, work. Wtf?

Edit: I'm not saying that long battery life is not something desirable, I just find it bizarre that it's the main focus of interest and PR to so many people. Perhaps they just cannot figure a way how to keep one charger at home and another at work so they are lost when they have to - plug it in once in a day. Or they really have to travel deep in the forest and then work there on their laptop. No clue...
