  • While monster cables are absolutely a joke of a product, there is different quality between cables. I have 3 different usb a to usb c 3.0 cables and they are all different. One of them charges so poorly my phone chucks a warning, one does about double standard speed and the 3rd one maxes out my phones fast charge.

    Some usb3 cords just don’t have any shielding at all. It’s nearly always super dirt cheap ones, but you can still buy them if you don’t know the difference.










  • Having used my gaming laptop on my lap, honestly it doesn’t really block the vents. Like 50% of the bottom is vent, so either I have my legs together and there are gaps at the side, or I have my legs apart and there is a gap in the middle.

    But also yes, it’s about packing it up and setting it up significantly easier and faster, as opposed to actually doing things on the go. If I let my laptop use full performance on its battery, I would expect sub-30 minute battery life, as opposed to the ~2 hours I get when the GPU is turned off.
