The weak spot on the HP is the dim screen. I thought OLED was intrinsically brighter than that.
For budget laptops, their screens are generally dimmer than more expensive models. OLED itself is generally dimmer than LED though.

The Macbook Neo set that standard. You're apparently allowed to make a cheap laptop in 2026 with a unusable amount of RAM and storage now as long as it has a good display.
Have you looked at DDR5 and SSD prices recently? Cheap and lots of RAM or storage are conflicting conditions right now. Laptop manufacturers are not "allowed" to do this as much as they have no choice at the moment. But you are allowed to buy more RAM and storage in a laptop; do not expect it to be cheap.

Macbook Neo, the machine it is a rival to, also runs very poorly on an 8GB RAM machine
According to whom? The Neo is a terrible machine to run anything memory intensive like 4K video editing full time. But that is not designed primarily to do. It was made for the average consumer like students to handle everyday computing like web surfing. Every review I have read say the 8GB is fine for these tasks.

In this case the graphics capability shouldn't matter that much, as I have disabled animations on the Intel laptop because without that it was horrible. I haven't done any such thing on the AMD one, which also only has 2 GPU cores - it was in a $300 laptop. The Intel machine is a HP Elitebook... I remember when those were actually powerful, back in the Core and Core 2 days.

Doesn't Uncle Elon have like 15 children by 7 different women?
Yes, but he has to hire in the brain cells.

Correct, or the girls being coerced into marrying old Christian men in this country. Those Christians are the ones who lobby to keep it legal to marry and then fuck children in this country. But those are your special child rapists so you support those children being raped.

You mean what software told you, which is what you respect. That was my very point and you fell into it. Nice work.

You're using AI to try to "win" an argument on Slashdot because you were upset by someone recognizing your politics as idiotic nonsense.
Wait, now you're accusing me of generating my comments with AI? I thought you were kind of clever, but now I see you're only clever at trolling.

It's impossible to tell since the models don't reason. That's why they can say obviously incorrect things with confidence.
