      I had really bad luck with Thinkpad motherboards, I dont think quality matches the hype. I would consider this machine: this video

    2. @vel0cityAug 2024· in “Replacing Liquid Metal on an Asus Zephyrus G15's CPU”

      My favorite laptop I've ever owned so far has been a $300 Walmart laptop, Motile M141. But I guess that would fit in with "doesn't have a decent GPU". I didn't get it as a gaming PC. If I do game on it, I'm doing cloud gaming/Parsec streaming. I've upgraded the RAM, the storage, and the WiFi (Intel 6E adapter, better cloud gaming) on it. It survived being left out on the patio table in a major rain storm. I don't know what I'll get to replace it when it finally dies, but I can't imagine I'll find anything with nearly the level of value I got out of this machine. this video

      > sub-$500 laptops..Poor battery life, low-resolution screen, HDD instead of SSD, etc. Things have changed since 2005. This is a Walmart one for 360$, and Costco has similar ones. You can get even better specs and price if you're willing to roll the dice with Alibaba/Aliexpress vendors. 14" FHD (1080p), AMD Ryzen 3 with Radeon Vega 3 Graphics, THX Spatial Audio, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, HDMI, Front 720P HD IR Camera. this video
