You're worried about the screen being worn out? How does a screen wear out (excluding maybe oled burn in, but this aint oled). And a good chassis shouldn't show that much wear after a few years.

They're still far better than everything else on the market.

IdeaPads also aren't ThinkPads. Those are the consumer grade garbage you'd want to stay away from.

That's cool. Performance per dollar isn't the only factor for a laptop.

Size

Weight

Durability

Battery life

I/O and other features.

A not dogshit network card

An actually usuable trackpad

I'm sure I could list more. But those are all things that are important on a laptop and you can't change after you buy it.

And it's not in the center of the port. It's in between two ports where a boot should never be in the way.

Unless the open source ones have gotten a whole lot better in the 4-5 years

Good news!

They're not perfect, but they are a lot better. Worst case just change it post install when you know nothing funky will happen.

Are you wanting to run the nvidia proprietary drivers? I haven't tried installing them without the card being installed first.

If you don't care/want the open source drivers then just install the card and on startup it should load the appropriate drivers for the card. And if you don't like the open source ones just switch once it's installed.

Software or hardware? Have you tried this?

Windows Hello (and presumably modern Linux equivalents) use the camera + IR transmitters to work at least similarly to how apples Face ID works. In theory they should both be secure, but in practice who knows what they fucked up.

Letting them pass. If it's a 4 lane highway get in the right lane and drive a speed different from the car next to you.

Is the person tailgating because you're going slow?

And when you drive slow everyone is going to start to pile together into a big group and that only serves to make safety worse. You're not doing something good by doing this, let them get away from you if you value safety.

That’s cool except you’re no wasting everyone’s time and not just the person directly behind you.
