Are you using an HDD or an SSD currently? I haven't upgraded to an SSD yet and I was wondering how common of an upgrade this was, because everyone I know has an SSD in their desktop except me cry

I have an SSD in both of my computers. You may as well upgrade, hikarin. It's a noticable improvement.

I think its very worth it, I have a t60 and upgraded it to an ssd, it took it from an old pc to basically on par with any of my newer computers.

>>1754 SSDs not only have faster read/write times (essentially quicker transfer speeds) but some games are now requiring them to load stuff quick enough. You may see an increase in performance and they have virtually zero moving parts (at least m.2's) so you don't have to worry about head crashes or moving parts failing/making noise.

Durable mainstream laptops? Satori Komeiji 05/11/2025 (Sun) 17:34:35 No. 1291 [Reply]

Modern consumer-grade laptops tend to have durability issues, while business-class laptops tend to be highly durable but refurbished ones are a few generations behind. There's also smaller companies like Tuxedo, Slimbook, System76, etc that seem to make durable laptops as well. At this point, is there any mainstream consumer-grade laptop that is actually durable, or are we now limited to business and Linux laptops?

I've been using the Slimbook since it arrived in tuesday and I can conclude that the battery bypass feature is not placebo. The idea is that, once the charge limit is reached, the charging goes straight to the hardware and bypasses the battery to save its lifespan. After intense use of this laptop since tuesday + gaming, the battery cycle count is still at 0!!! I wonder any mainstream brand does this

Halo, I have the same model as you but I installed Rockbox on it forever ago, which means I can't remember the specifics of what I did to get it working. I know I got it at a time when the Rockbox website didn't officially support the version of the HiFi Walker H2 that I had, but I got a bootloader for the AIGO Eros QK (same model and firmware version) and it worked with some very minor issues that magically sorted themselves out after a few days. The only problem I've noticed since installing it is that the AIGO Eros firmware replaced the HiFi Walker firmware, but since I only ever boot into Rockbox idc. https://www.rockbox.org/wiki/AIGOErosQK#Hosted_Port_Installation_40Manual_41 looks like the page I got the upt from. Hopefull this helps at least a little bit happy2

Rig Building Thread Anonymous 09/13/2025 (Sat) 12:02:08 No. 1708 [Reply]

Hey Hikarichanners! This thread is for people to discuss rigs and help with building rigs, and I need help pls. vengence

The only experience I had with building a compooter was watching a friend of mine build my last one, which didn't go so smoothly, so I want to just do it myself. I'll take any advice given to me, especially since I will want to use Linux (It's mainly for privacy concerns, and my building hatred for Microsoft, but I would also like to use it for gaming and probably video editing in the future). These are the components I found through PC part picker that were recommended to me from the monitor I chose. I mainly picked AMD components as people say that AMD is more compatible with Linux, also AMD parts are cheaper, and it helps fit my budget of around £1500 - £2000... https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Gnwmt3 COMPONENTS CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 7600 3.8 GHz 6-Core Processor CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM Cooler Motherboard - MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard Memory - Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory Storage - Kingston KC600 1.024 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive Storage 2 - Seagate ST4000DX001 4 TB 3.5" 5900 RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive

>>1733 here! i love both builds!, imo, if you feel comfortable i cant stress this enough, check ebay or facebook for second hand barely used or new parts, people throw stuff away for insanely cheap! especially right now. if youre worried about money you might be able to pick up a part or two youre interested in that someones throwing away for pennies, only downside is that you may not get warranty, which can be a deal breaker for some. not to blog on but if i used my build for example, brand new would have cost me over 4k AUD, but i bought 3/4 of it off facebook either brand new or barely used and i only spent around 2.3, just food for thought
