<p>A couple of weeks ago I got myself a new laptop to replace my old <a href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/11/02/the-macbook-redux/">MacBook
12-inch from 2017</a>. As my
followers might remember I was planning to buy either an M1-powered MacBook Air
or the brand new MacBook Pro 14-inch with an M1 Pro. After much deliberation,
however, in the end I decided to go in a completely different direction and went
with Lenovo Yoga Slim 7, which is essentially my first non-Apple laptop since
2011.<sup id="fnref:1"><a class="footnote" href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/12/23/new-laptop-lenovo-yoga-slim-7/#fn:1" rel="footnote">1</a></sup></p>
<p>What made me change my mind? As usual there were several factors at play:</p>
<ul>
<li>I hate International ISO keyboards (the ones with the short <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">Enter</code>), and by default all
MacBooks in Bulgaria are sold with those. A BTO configuration with an US ANSI keyboard usually takes
1-2 months to be delivered here.</li>
<li>There are rumors that the MBA will be updated soon in a massive way, and it was
my front-runner. The MBPs are an overkill for my current needs and are a bit
heavy for my taste. Not to mention they are quite expensive, even by Apples standards!</li>
<li>In recent years Ive been quite disappointed with the direction of macOS (more restrictive, more similar to iOS) and Ive really enjoyed working on Windows 10 and WSL. One can argue that today Windows is a good enough Linux.</li>
<li>Ive never been too fond of Apples keyboards, even the good ones. Also - they have no respect for the right Control key. :-)</li>
<li>Ive never had an AMD-powered laptop and Ive always been a huge AMD fan. Everyone likes the underdog, right?</li>
<li>I like playing with different gadgets and Im definitely bored of MacBooks.</li>
</ul>
<p>So, I decided to look for a Windows laptop and I had the following requirements for it:</p>
<ul>
<li>Thin and light, ideally under 1.3 kg (the weight of a MacBook Air)</li>
<li>HiDPI (Retina) display with 16:10 or 3:2 aspect ratio</li>
<li>Metal/Carbon chassis</li>
<li>1TB+ of storage, ideally user-upgradable</li>
<li>16GB+ of memory, ideally user-upgradable</li>
<li>USB-C charger</li>
<li>Comfortable keyboard with a right Control key and an US ANSI layout</li>
<li>Good touchpad with Microsoft Precision drivers support</li>
<li>Cool and quiet operation (my MacBook was getting extremely hot very quickly)</li>
<li>Decent battery life (my MacBook could last for only 2 hours max at the end)</li>
<li>Ryzen 5000-series CPU</li>
<li>Price around 1000 EUR</li>
</ul>
<p>I found many great Windows laptops during my search process, but I disqualified
most of them on either high price (e.g. most ThinkPads), 1080p-only display
(e.g. Asus Zenbook 13/14) or no AMD CPU option. In the end the Lenovo Yoga Slim
7 was as close as I could get to my dream machine (within my budget), so I went with it.</p>
<h2 id="tech-specs">Tech Specs</h2>
<p>Here are the tech specs of the laptop:</p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>CPU</td>
<td>AMD Ryzen 7 5800U</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>GPU</td>
<td>AMD Radeon Vega 8</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Storage</td>
<td>1TB SSD</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>RAM</td>
<td>16GB LPDDR4x-4266 (soldered)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Display</td>
<td>13.3 inch, QHD (2560x1600), 16:10 , IPS, Glossy, 300 nits</td>

<td>65W USB-C</td>

<tr>

</table>
<p>You can find the detailed tech specs <a href="https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/Yoga/Yoga_Slim_7_13ACN5/Yoga_Slim_7_13ACN5_Spec.pdf">here</a>.
The price I paid for the machine was 1100 EUR.</p>
<p>Some of you might have noticed that the Yoga Slim 7 is pretty similar to a MacBook
Air - it has an aluminum body, the same screen size and aspect ratio, and even
exactly the same resolution as the MBA. It has a lot smaller screen bezels, though, which
has allowed Lenovo to make a slightly lighter computer (1.2kg vs 1.3kg for the
MBA). All of those similarities were quite appealing to me, given my fondness for the MBAs
form factor and build quality.</p>
<p>I should also mention that theres a similar laptop named <a href="https://www.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/yoga/yoga-slim-series/Yoga-Slim-7-Pro-14ARH5/p/LEN101Y0001">Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro</a>, that might be an even better choice for some of you, because:</p>
<ul>
<li>It has an USB-A port</li>
<li>It has a 14-inch screen with even higher resolution (2880x1800), higher brightness (400 nits) and 90Hz refresh rate</li>
<li>It has a bigger battery and longer battery life</li>
<li>It weight 1.3kg (just 100 grams more)</li>
</ul>
<p>Actually, this was the Lenovo laptop that caught my attention originally, but unfortunately in Bulgaria they were selling only the Intel version of it.</p>
<h2 id="mini-review">Mini Review</h2>
<p>I dont want to write a detailed review of the Lenovo Yoga, but having used it extensively for 2 weeks Ill share a few thoughts on it.
TLDR - its a really great laptop, especially given its low price. Just a month ago I wouldnt have believed that you could get such a
nice machine for so little money.</p>
<p>For reference - a similarly spec-ed MBA costs around 2000 EUR in Bulgaria and a baseline MBP 14 costs 2300 EUR.
Obviously they are more premium/faster computers (especially the MBP), but I dont think they are so much better to justify their price for most people.</p>
<h3 id="good-stuff">Good Stuff</h3>
<ul>
<li>Super fast (compared my old laptop at least) - that 8-core Ryzen CPU is a beast!</li>
<li>Gorgeous display, although I would have preferred a non-glossy (matte) version of it.</li>
<li>Relatively cool and quiet under normal workloads. Its no M1, but its definitely coolest laptop Ive ever owned. The laptop has a couple of power profiles you can choose from and in “battery saver” mode its totally quiet and pretty cool.</li>
<li>Excellent build quality - it feels almost as premium as a MacBook!</li>
<li>Best laptop keyboard Ive had in at least 10 years! Obviously its still a laptop keyboard, but it has much better travel and feedback than Apples new/old keyboards. I also love how the keycaps are shaped.</li>
<li>Great trackpad - almost as good as Apples trackpads.</li>
<li>The charger is super light.</li>
<li>I got a free USB-C to HDMI converter with the laptop.</li>
<li>The webcam has support for Windows Hello (something like Face ID).</li>
<li>The display hinge goes all the way to 180 degrees.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="bad-stuff">Bad Stuff</h3>
<ul>
<li>The battery life is just 6-7 hours, when doing my usual work (browsing, Slack,
Zoom meetings, note taking, light programming in Emacs). Its still a big
improvement for me, but I was hoping for 8+ hours of battery life. At least it
supports fast-charging, so thats not a big deal.</li>
<li>The fans can get somewhat noisy under heavy workloads (most of the time I cannot hear them, though).</li>
<li>There was some bloatware preinstalled on the computer (e.g. McAfee and some mostly useless Lenovo apps).</li>
<li>The laptop has only 3 USB-C ports and a headphone jack. No Thunderbolt support, but I dont really care about this.</li>
<li>No privacy shutter for the webcam.</li>
<li>The built-in speakers are so-so.</li>
<li>The name. Its quite a mouthful and its also different in different markets (e.g. Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7). Not to mention some people
think that the Yoga brand stands for 2-in-1 convertibles with touch screens.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="honorable-mentions">Honorable Mentions</h2>
<p>Here are some of the other (Windows) machines that I considered before getting the Yoga Slim 7:</p>
<ul>
<li>ThinkPad X1 Carbon - probably the best Windows machine for me, but as expensive as an MBP in Bulgaria</li>
<li>Dell XPS 13 - ditto</li>
<li>HP Spectre 14 x360 - amazing 3:2 screen and great build quality, good value for the money, but very noisy and it had a fingerprint scanner where the right Control key should be</li>
<li>Microsoft Surface - great 3:2 screen, lovely keyboard (but without right Control), very limited availability in Bulgaria and MacBook-level pricing</li>
<li>Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro - a more powerful version of my laptop, but the AMD models are extremely hard to find in Bulgaria</li>
<li><a href="https://www.schenker-tech.de/en/schenker-vision-14">Schenker Vision 14</a> - custom “German” (Chinese?) laptop, thats very extensible and comes with a great 16:10 display. Sadly, they dont have any AMD models.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/Linux-Hardware/Linux-Notebooks/10-14-inch/TUXEDO-InfinityBook-Pro-14-Gen6.tuxedo">Tuxedo InfinityBook Pro 14</a> - same as above, but targeting Linux</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="epilogue">Epilogue</h2>
<blockquote>
<p>There is no exquisite beauty without some strangeness in the proportion.</p>
<p> Edgar Allan Poe</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Im well aware that any M1-powered laptop will blow away my modest Lenovo Yoga, but I dont really care about this either. I still plan to get
some MacBook down the road, but Im not in a rush and Ill likely wait for M2 to come out. My experience with first-gen Apple devices has never
been very good.</p>
<p>For me its very important to have a bit of fun and diversity when it comes to computers and operating systems. Ive been using Windows 10/11 and WSL2
for the past 15 months (on my desktop workstation) and I totally love my experience with them. Its amazing how far Microsoft have come from the days when they were trying to destroy Linux and
no respectable developer would consider Windows as their primary development platform. Well done, Satya Nadella!</p>
<p>Ive learned that today developers definitely have some decent options if they
are looking for alternatives of Apples walled garden (or running Linux on the
bare metal). Yeah, itd be even better if we had good options for native Linux,
but Ive pretty much lost all hope on that front and at this point I dont
really care.<sup id="fnref:2"><a class="footnote" href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/12/23/new-laptop-lenovo-yoga-slim-7/#fn:2" rel="footnote">2</a></sup> In many ways Windows + WSL is exactly the type of Linux desktop
experience that I always dreamed of. I no longer have to worry about driver and hardware compatibility, and I
have access to all the Linux tools that I need. The level of integration between Windows 11 and WSL is insane!</p>
<p>As usual, Im writing this article from my
Emacs 29 running on WSL + Wayland and its gorgeous! My Emacs experience today is much better than what I used to have
on macOS and its pretty much the same as I what I had on Linux itself. I never saw this coming! (I doubt anyone saw this coming)</p>
<p>I also realized my dream of owning an AMD-powered laptop! As irrational as it gets, but thats the kind of person who am I. Im definitely
pleased the with performance and thermal profile of the Ryzen 5800U and I cannot wait to see what AMD have in store for us with the upcoming
Zen 4 and the new 5nm fabrication process. Perhaps theyll be able to give Apple a run for their money? I missed a good old CPU war! They are so much fun!</p>
<p>My last non-Apple laptop was a ThinkPad T520 in 2011. Some issues with it prompted me to write my <a href="https://batsov.com/articles/2011/06/11/linux-desktop-experience-killing-linux-on-the-desktop/">infamous Linux rant</a> and to switch to Macs. 10 years later I once again have a Lenovo laptop. Coincidence or providence? Time will tell!</p>
<div class="footnotes">
<ol>
<li id="fn:1">
<p>Admittedly, I briefly owned a HP Spectre x360 5 years ago. I love it as hardware, but back then WSL was way too immature for my needs and Linux didnt support well the Spectres touch-screen. <a class="reversefootnote" href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/12/23/new-laptop-lenovo-yoga-slim-7/#fnref:1">↩</a></p>
</li>
<li id="fn:2">
<p>Supposedly my laptop should work great with Linux. Ill have to check that at some point. <a class="reversefootnote" href="https://batsov.com/articles/2021/12/23/new-laptop-lenovo-yoga-slim-7/#fnref:2">↩</a></p>

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hello. You might think the OS isn&#39;t responsible for motherboard&#39;s LED but hear me out.</p> <p>I have an ASUS motherboard (TUF Gaming B550-PLUS) I can turn off the LED when a system is running. But there&#39;s no option to turn off when the system is shutdown. (I might be wrong. If you know of otherwise, please let me know!)</p> <p>I daily-drive Arch Linux. I rarely boot into Windows. Recently I found out motherboard&#39;s settings can be manipulated through windows software. And I was able to turn off the LED when the system is down. But it works only when I shutdown in Windows. When I shutdown in linux, it simply keeps the LED on. </p> <p>Can we do so in Linux as well? I don&#39;t seem to be able to find any software from ASUS. I heard there&#39;s a software that can control Razer&#39;s LED stuff. Does it work for motherboard&#39;s LED?</p> <p>I don&#39;t have an option to cut down the power. </p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Teeeeze"> /u/Teeeeze </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/ruzjxi/turning_off_motherboards_led_when_shutdown/">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/ruzjxi/turning_off_motherboards_led_when_shutdown/">[comments]</a></span>

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I want to separate my daily tasks with appointments and all from the (embarrasingly) long list of badly maintained tasks -- overdue ones, soon-to-be due ones, and those that are schedule for a past date.</p> <p>It was simple enough to hide the overdue stuff from today&#39;s timeline:</p> <pre><code> (agenda &quot;&quot; ((org-agenda-overriding-header &quot; &quot;) ;; Non-empty string to get empty line (org-agenda-span &#39;day) (org-agenda-ndays 1) (org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote ((agenda time-up priority-down tag-up)))) ;; Do not include scheduled, due or overdue items here (org-deadline-warning-days 0) (org-scheduled-past-days 0) (org-deadline-past-days 0) (org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done t) (org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-done t) (org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done t))) </code></pre> <p>But I cannot get that output to appear elsewhere, e.g. farther down, out of focus. This does display all overdue etc. taks, but <em>also</em> everything with a timestamp for today:</p> <pre><code> (agenda &quot;&quot; ((org-agenda-overriding-header &quot;Overdue&quot;) (org-agenda-time-grid nil) (org org-agenda-remove-timeranges-from-blocks t) (org-agenda-show-all-dates nil) (org-agenda-format-date &quot;&quot;) ;; Skip the date (org-agenda-start-on-weekday nil) (org-agenda-span &#39;day) (org-agenda-ndays 0) (org-agenda-skip-function &#39;(org-agenda-skip-entry-if &#39;todo &#39;done)) ;; Show overdue items (org-scheduled-past-days 999) (org-deadline-past-days 999) ;; Ignore upcoming deadlines (org-deadline-warning-days 0))) </code></pre> <p>How can I get the bottom part to only show overdue etc. tasks, not those that are scheduled for today? </p> <p>Do I have to write a <code>(org-agenda-skip-function &#39;(org-agenda-skip-entry-if &#39;todo &#39;done))</code> replacement in elisp that filters elements by date, i.e. &quot;not today&quot;?
