• I really wanted to like this NIMO laptop

    NIMO computers is a company out of Delaware that makes computers. I first found out about them after seeing the following video from Laptop Retrospective, possibly my favorite tech YouTuber. To say the least, I was intrigued. Not only was this an AMD laptop, but I could get one bare bones, meaning I could add…


  • I loved this laptop, I’ll never buy another one

    I originally discovered the Chuwi Corebook X after watching this video from Linus Tech Tips. I was intrigued about having an affordable 1440p laptop with a 3:2 screen ratio since I never had one before. However, I didn’t want to pay the $500 Chuwi was asking for at the time, so I took to eBay.…


  • So, I killed another laptop…

    (AI Prompt: Laptop Killer. To be fair, the picture’s not too far off.) Late last year, I came into possession of an HP ZBook 17 Gen 1. It’s a 17″ beast of a laptop from 2014. I named it Chungus due to its immense size. In 2014, this was a state-of-the-art workstation complete with discrete…


  • Laptop Problems

    So my work laptop came preinstalled with 8GB of RAM. Recently, I started using three different browsers to keep all my projects separate. Those browsers would be, Vivaldi, Firefox, and begrudgingly, Chrome. I need to use multiple tabs on all three browsers, and that eats up a lot of memory. So I ordered two 8GB…


  • Don’t charge your vape with your laptop

    I don’t like to talk much about it anymore but I vape. I smoked for 30 years and vaping was the only thing that’s allowed me to stay quit. I haven’t touched an actual cigarette in 7 years. Some of you may think that’s not quitting smoking but that’s not what I’m here to talk…


  • Running Linux on the Motile 14 laptop

    So the last time I posted about the Motile 14 laptop from Walmart I said I was going to upgrade it with 16 GB of RAM and a second SSD so I could dual boot Windows with Linux. Well, it didn’t quite work out that way. The first thing was that I felt like a…


  • My thoughts on the Motile 14 laptop from Walmart

    I originally learned about the Motile 14 laptop from the following video. I finally decided to pull the trigger on buying one the other week and I’ve spent a week using it as my daily driver. My original plan was to put the laptop down in the basement to watch videos and movies on it…


  • My laptop obsession: Part 1 The Beginning

    When I first came to Kansas, one of the few possessions I had was my 2012 Windows 7 Asus K55A laptop. This laptop was beat up, to say the least. The screen had these dark blotches on it from having heavy objects placed on it. All the keys had been worn and many of them…


  • Lenovo 14w laptop review and Linux recommendations

    If you don’t mind I’d like to indulge my tech side for a moment. Over the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend, I purchased a Lenovo 14w laptop  (sponsored link) for $120. This is a low-end laptop intended to be used by school students. Basically, it’s a Windows version of a Chromebook. The problem with this laptop…
