Good job of Beelink to point out the workaround. However, it's not about Microsoft not "debugging" their installation process - they design it fully intentionally to trick people into signing up, and I hate it. Recently my mom managed to get herself completely locked out of her laptop because MS decided it needed to authenticate online with her phone. Next question - how do you recover to a normal local account after MS got their claws into it?

LOL I actually ordered one 2 days ago, will take around a week so haven't gotten any feedback. Hoping to use it at home as my home server to replace one of my Pi 4, getting tired of dealing with ARM. Also to use while on the go when I travel (I'll take a 2m HDMI cable and wireless keyboard and mouse), this way I can still watch stuff and game pretty easily. For programming and running my containers it's gonna be nutty. Got a pretty sweet deal IMO, the 16GB ram one for 370€ (including shipping). Let's see how it goes.

Laptop to convert mini pc is good or bad depend on the what is needed. One is good is chose of monitor, keyboard, mouse and other devices. The cons for laptop is battery. But now it reduce some degree depend what type of laptop. I thought of something. Although it mini pc portable is good as long is module. If someone design block modules it would good depend on the needs or normal used. Or I am over thinking things. There been custom laptop or reused part to create it.

I wonder if this is available with Displayport ports instead of HDMI? As for USB ports, a hub is your friend. Keyboard, mouse, additional input device, sound bar, headphones, microphone, webcam (possibly x2), fingerprint reader, SD card reader, mobile phone / tablet, spot for USB stick or external optical device or external HDD / SSD. Say 12 USB ports. That's easily doable with a hub. Better have two: one for the USB 2 devices and one for the USB 3 devices.

@Dinscurge Жыл бұрын

the apu tdp seems to be more conservative in effect, in that from my recollection its the tdp for the apu, not the cpu, so if you were to run furmark or whatever and cinebench at the same time then you can check the 45w, if its only the cpu being loaded probably like 66% the total ~45w power or something if theres temp for boosting or something in effect more like 25~30w under heavy cpu load probably

@ABaumstumpf Жыл бұрын

"if you were to run furmark or whatever and cinebench at the same time then you can check the 45w" Only if the OEM has limited the CPU to that - but by default they gulp down a lot more than the TDP. For the 45W configs that usually is around 65W longterm if they have decent cooling.

@Dinscurge Жыл бұрын

@@ABaumstumpf most oems seem to default to the lowest configurable power level for amd cpus so they can put in cheaper cooling for laptops newer ones prob more power since better boosting behaviors then older units, but is still the tdp is the entire soc/socket not the cpu thats only like 45% of the die

@ABaumstumpf Жыл бұрын

@@Dinscurge get a laptop with better cooling and the CPU alone will draw well over 60 W for a 45 w tdp. That has been the same for several generations of Ryzen now. It seems you are either confusing the low-power mode that often is enabled by default with the capabilities of the CPU or you think that TDP got anything to do with power on Ryzen ( it does not - AMD decided to create arbitrary numbers that have no relation with power)

I've just had a look online, and turns out it'll boost for 5-8mins up to 54w, and then come down to 45w, and this makes sense actually, as i notice the thermals drop around that period as well (~90 deg C down to 80-85 deg C) when using handbrake.
