stress relieved : October 8 2025

that sky reminded me that it will all be ok. everything will be fine, at least i can live through this decision i just had.

that amazing sky

before my source of stress though, let us just appreciate this sky right now. it was a bit gloomy the whole day although there was no rain. but the sky was really dark. but right around 5 when the sun was about to set. it was only then where these colors came out, and it really seemed like it was telling me that at the end of it all, everything will be fine. i initially saw the unusual cloud patterns against the blue backdrop. i usually am no longer that curious when it comes to views from our balcony but i was just glad that i came to check it out. and bam! these wonderful colors popped. i took some pictures and even told housemate g to check it out as well.

relieved!

the stressor

i have mentioned this one time, windows 10 support will officially end on the 14th of this month. and unfortunately my laptop cannot upgrade to windows 11 because of hardware limitations. so for the past months this was always been at the back of my mind, and sadly i need to deal with it now that the date is coming. i found three choices for this.

an msi thin 15
an asus vivobook 15
a lenovo ideapad slim 3

all the three supported the same cpu and memory power. asus had a 1 Tb storage while the other two had 512 Gb. the msi one had an extra graphic card as it was a gaming laptop. lenovo had double the battery at 16 hours compared to the others. both msi and asus had around the same price while lenovo was around 20000 yen (around 130 usd) cheaper. it was really hard to choose, it took me 4 days just deciding among the three.

and so i consulted chatgpt. i plugged in the exact models and asked it to decide. and oh boy it did! here were the decision key points.

• Performance vs graphics capability
• Battery life & portability
• Thermals, noise, and comfort
• Durability, build, repairability
• Future-proofing / upgradeability
• Value for price / what you pay for

and the recommendation:

So, in 2025, unless you clearly need the discrete GPU, I’d lean Lenovo Slim 3 as the best balance.

i was not convinced, so i asked further regarding video watching experience.

I were to pick just for movies:

Best pick: Subject to model, Lenovo Slim 3 (IPS / 300 nits version) will likely give the best movie watching in terms of balance of color, brightness, viewing angles.

that just saved me 20000 yen. ordered! 2 months installment.

leg day gym

i did ask housemate g if we will go to the gym today, got no clear affirmative response. i assumed that we wouldn't. i has walking around the neighborhood just searching for cocktail ingredients, my heart wanted to have a simple drink. could not find the coconut though so i returned home quite late.

housemate g approached and wanted to go to the gym. i was totally caught off guard. if my temper were worse i would definitely lash out, i was on the verge really. but i thought that since i could not find the coconut ingredient it must be a sign not to have a drink tonight. that very beautiful sky earlier was also a pacifier.

and you know what, i was happier after the session. so i guess that was a good decision.

anyways, hope you had a stress free day.
as always, AMPING KANUNAY!
