I don't have that program, but according to the system requirements I found online, I think it should run well.

Stardew Valley is so low-intensity it can run on a 10-year-old basic laptop. I'd recommend the 7840U motherboard if you will get into more intense games like Forza Horizon 5 or Elden Ring, otherwise you can just pick the 7640U.

Yeah, but it will be very slow. I had the same issue on my Samsung Galaxy Book2 when its charger failed, and my laptop would only accept 0.8-1W of power from my 15W phone charger 😑

Isn't the SN770M a 2230 SSD? Those are always more expensive because of how dense the NAND has to be.

I know, I was just exaggerating the fact that x86 systems generally have worse battery life compared to ARM, just like the other guy exaggerated the fact that MacBooks lack some important features.

What's the point of buying an x86 laptop if the battery life is trash?

Macs have their benefits, and regular laptops have their benefits.

Neither my mouse nor external HDD cable are USB-C (I got both of them this year only, it's a bit of a shame companies aren't moving to USB-C).

But don't they violate Microsoft's terms of service?

Imma try to do the math:

i7-1165G7, B-stock $639
2 USB-C and 2 USB-A cards $36
16GB Crucial 3200MHz RAM (2 8GB sticks) $43
512GB FireCuda 520 $35 (heavily discounted on pcpartpicker.com)
Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 No vPro $10
Total cost $763
Cost if adding Windows 11 Home $902

Nah, I want something that will be 100% compatible with older video games. So x86 it is for me.

From what I've read, AirTags don't use GPS, all they do is connect to other Apple devices via Bluetooth, and those devices send their location (which is fairly accurate) and the AirTag's ID (which is encrypted) to Apple servers.

This means AirTags are useless if there are no Apple devices around.

let's assume you are using Windows, you can always use 'Find my device'

The last time I tried it, it was off by 4 houses, so it is definitely worse than Apple's Find My system.

But it could give an idea of whether you left your device in one building or a different one if those buildings are large enough.
