Do you know if the fans are particularly loud? Something I love about my ThinkPad is that it's basically silent

I'm a big fan of being able to fix stuff myself, XPSes I've heard are very good but I also like the idea of being able to just upgrade the CPU GPU and memory later on when it starts to slow down and not have to buy a whole new laptop

Could you not just use root to give your user sudo? Seems like a pretty dumb restriction

Fantastic, no issues with sleep or anything? Everyone else seems to say the sleep mode battery drain is huge

(planning to do sleep then hibernate anyway, or maybe just hibernate and not even bother with sleep)

Seems to be a pretty common complaint, you'd hope they would've fixed that given how many people seem to be having that issue

Fantastic, how long have you had it for out of curiosity since you said you got it recently? I'm also wondering as to the longevity of these laptops

Does the same apply for hibernation? My current behavior is to hibernate my machine manually before shutting the lid anyway so I don't think that would bother me too much (though it would be nice to have a machine that will suspend properly)

I can live with that, my thinkpad won't sleep properly at the moment anyway (I've taken to just running systemctl hibernate before closing the lid, I should probably set that to the default behaviour instead of suspend at some point)

Exactly. It's good at generating anything you know well enough that you'll instantly spot the errors, but it shouldn't be used for anything you aren't fully comfortable with doing by hand

I think things like helix and neovim are more about the dopamine hit from hitting the exact right sequence of buttons to make the change you want

Definitely feel faster using helix than vscode though, even just stuff like m+i+" (select all within quotes, brackets etc)

Personally I think it's useful for pretty much anything you already understand

If you only use it to generate code to do things you already understand it saves you a lot of time and mental stamina by only having to proofread rather than write from scratch

Exactly, it's so rare to actually see anyone using it who knows how to use it as a tool rather than a magic do everything machine
