Self-taught aspiring software enginner (PY/JS/RS) and Amateur Photographer (A42 5G/L830/Mini 3 Pro). My Website is here (no uptime gurantees, self-hosted on my Pi 4 with CF tunnels). I mostly play Ace Combat, Brick Rigs and Minecraft.
well, the i5-5300u definitely is, at least for my use cases. it took so long to compile a diesel-actix rust project that the battery died before it finished (it was at 100%), and it can’t even run fucking Minecraft. even a raspberry pi can run Minecraft!
here it’s typically early-to-mid 2010s thinkpads being sold, so you’re probably getting a laptop with horrible performance
…because HUAWEI doesn’t ship their laptops with thermal paste, apparently.
until it gets completely fucked due to a form-over-function cooling system and hits 101C (NBLK-WAX9X)
until you get one with an i5-5300U soldered to the board T~T
my experience: power governor on balanced and somehow i’m at like 90c.
