Rather than a “I joined the club” post, here’s an “I’m enjoying the club” post! This is what I’ve picked up so far, with Star Wars Outlaws on the way. Probably should get through some of these before I keep buying more, but eBay is my downfall for these physical games. So many great deals! I’ve been lurking on eBay to pick up Pragmata next.

Also to make some fun out of this, which of the 3 “choose one” games do you think I picked?

Superglued SSD and zip tied ram 😦

Long story short, bought it brand new from Walmart and I lost the receipt. Not looking to break even as I know this device doesn’t go around $600 second hand, but also don’t throw any lowballs. It has just over a week of use.

Bought it on June 5th and played with it for a week before deciding it wasn’t for me. PM me your offers. Ideally $550 but can negotiate. I can ship to anywhere in the US.

I started a new job and since I sit at a desk all day I didn’t want to come home and sit at a desk and play on my desktop. Didn’t have X money since I’m starting fresh out of college, but I did have money for this, and it’s so incredibly good! The 20W mode makes pretty much anything playable, and myself personally can’t even tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a screen this size. I got it so I can mostly no-life the June 9th D2 update, and happy to say it floats around 40-55 fps in D2. And if I really want more fps, I can always stream from my desktop instead of playing native.

Anyways, if you managed to read to the end of this, what are some good cases for this that makes holding it for longer periods of time more comfortable? Preferably on the cheaper side.

CPU seems like it would pair great with an eGPU. It’s a Dell Precision 5490 and has thunderbolt 4, so it’s possible.

This is Maverick! He’s 5. He’s been doing this for as long as I can remember, but I never thought to ask until now. I lay his blanket out flat and he doesn’t touch it, but when I go to move it he starts doing this! He will then do this for 5-10 minutes and just leave it balled up until I lay it out flat again.

What a fun color! Was using wave + as my EDC but I never used probably 75% of its tools. This one is awesome.

I've been holding this 3060 as a backup but I'm ready to let it go now. This is in extremely good condition. Comes with original box. Purchased brand new on Feb 11, 2024. Used for a solid year for 1080p gaming paired with my Ryzen 5 5500, in a non-smoking household. Have since then upgraded to a 5600X and 5060ti 16gb.

I can ship to anywhere in the US.

Price: $200 local or $220 shipped.

Seller said they dropped it. They took it to our local repair shop (which has a very bad rep) and they told him the motherboard is fried (??). There’s no physical damage on the laptop anywhere and the seller said they didn’t drop it from high up. As an IT Technician I fix laptops all the time, so for me it’s worth $150 to gamble on something like this. Who knows, maybe a connector or the ram was just knocked loose when it was dropped. Eager to get home and get this open, I’ll post an update when I find out.

Update 1:
Definitely not a simple fix. No signs of life when I plug it in through the barrel or usb c. Tried both with and without battery plugged in. Also tried unseating the sodimm ram to see if it would boot from just soldered. Not giving up yet, but might have to do a full disassembly.

Got it from an org that called it ewaste. Verified all of it was working. Their loss! Problem is, I don’t have a laptop to use them in. I’m either looking to sell all of this so I can buy desktop ram, or trade this for desktop ram. Ideally a 1:1 trade. If you have 128gb ddr4-3200 desktop ram, then I’ll trade it to you for 128gb ddr4-3200 laptop ram! I can provide timestamp pics when I get home, but for now here’s a pic of one of the sticks.

I can ship to anywhere in the US. I only accept PayPal as a valid form of payment.
