I’ve never seen anything like this. Lenovo put a 4mm DC jack on this laptop’s motherboard, but walled it off on the palmrest and packaged it with a USB-C charger. Why close it off? Why not give people options, especially if you populated the board with the part already?
At least when — not if — the USB-C port breaks, we can just drill a hole in the palmrest and sell the customer a $25 charger rather than sending them for a $150 USB-C port replacement!
Acer engineering at its finest. The RTC battery and left speaker connectors are next to each other and use the exact same connector. The cables for each overlap before they reach the board, adding a potential confusion factor. Likewise, the "RTC conn" labeling is inexplicably far away from the actual connector.
Just thought to revisit Calculator... they really reined it in, didn't they?
Built by our new tech Chloe, this mini-beast sports a Ryzen 9 7900X and a Radeon RX 9070 with 48GB of RAM. Destined to run MS Flight Simulator, this was a killer build packed into an NZXT H3 Flow. Fun fact: the fans have to be removed from the front to get the GPU in and out! 😳
AsRock's white B850 motherboard has a blindingly white BIOS. Within that BIOS is a tool to set the BIOS text color. While it has some preset options ("Deep Red" shown in image), it also allows you to enter RGB values. And yes, you can set them to 255/255/255.
