Bazett

Not too much to say, so it'll be fairly short.

At some point I decided to have something a little more portable than Triela, and decided on HP's ENVY x360 with the Ryzen 5 2500U (Zen) and 1TB HDD upgrade (256GB M.2 NVMe SSD standard). And while waiting for it to arrive, I was curious on it's performance compared to Melty, and by UserBenchmark's scores, the 2500U was better... Oof. (Since UserBenchmark changed stuff, it seems like the FX-8320 is slightly better? Weird.)

I replaced the 256GB M.2 NVMe SSD (from Lite-On) with a used 512GB Samsung EVO 970, and gave the 256GB NVMe SSD to i3rd for an OS drive. The 1TB HDD was replaced with a 2TB HDD, and the 1TB HDD also went to i3rd for the local copy of my files (the 500GB HDD became a catch-all). I also manually upgraded the ram to 16GB because it was slightly cheaper than what HP was asking for.

For naming, it was a bit tough because there's a "professional" look to the laptop and so I kinda wanted to match that as best as possible. I used AniCDB's search and I think I looked for characters with the suit tag, and then looked through them all. Eventually came upon Bazett Fraga Mcremitz from Fate/hollow ataraxia, and though her appearance was what I was looking for (ignoring additional images), I think there were still results to go through.

Because of Bazett's portability, I used to spend every Friday (or every other Friday, I don't remember now) at a coffee shop to (try to) work on my stories, and then a nearby library later since the coffee shop's internet was really poor.

The ability to fold it is nicer than than I had originally expected (I think I didn't really care), so I can arrange it where the keyboard faces the table to put the screen closer to me (I usually have an external keyboard in this mode) or in either "tent" mode (screen facing in or out) when I have it doing background stuff (such as Windows updates) while on my bed to shed heat a little better. I rarely use the tablet mode since I'm hardly ever in Windows and Linux doesn't disable the keyboard (there's probably ways to make it aware of tablet mode, but meh).
