I've been saving up for a laptop for a long time and decided I want something that will be powerful and reliable for also a long time if I'm spending this much. so the 2 best options seem to be the Slimbook Hero or the Legion 5. A Legion 5 16IRX9 with an i5-13450HX is around 250EUR cheaper than a Hero with a i7-13620H, a Legion 5 Pro with a i7-13700HX is around 150EUR more expensive than the Hero. Legion has a 3 year warranty, the Hero 2 years. I don't know which has a better build quality and if warranty service is better with Slimbook bc you have to ship it to Spain if there is a hardware issue. What else should I consider?

Hi, I'm running the Nextcloud snap on my dad's 12 year old laptop (hp elitebook 8470w) but it has some performance issues. It fails to load for half a minute pretty often. I'm considering buying a rPi 5 instead to run a few things: - umami.is or similar simple web analytics - Nextcloud with memories.gallery to store all my family photos - maybe HUGO to build websites - possibly listmonk to send emails later Another positive could be the lower power draw, but I'm not sure one pi5 is strong enough to run these. What I'd need help with is the SMART results of the laptops HDD: Getting these kinds of errors: `[451080.136193] ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED 451080.136235] ata1.00: cmd 61/08:08:80:07:4a/00:00:10:00:00/40 tag 23 ncq dma 4096 out [ [451080.136235] res 40/00:ff: 00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) 451080.136352] ata1.00: status: { DRDY } [ [451080.136385] ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED 451080.136427] ata1.00: cmd 61/08:00:90:07:4a/00:00:10:00:00/40 tag 24 ncq dma 4096 out [ [451080.136427] res 40/00:01:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x4 (timeout) [451080.136543] ata1.00: status: { DRDY } [451080.136577] ata1.00: failed command: WRITE FPDMA QUEUED [451080.136619] ata1.00: cmd 61/08:c8:28:08:4a/00:00:10:00:00/40 tag 25 ncq dma 4096 out [451080.136619] res 40/00:01:c8:7f:d5/00:00:10:00:00/e0 Emask 0x4 (timeout) [451080.139084] ata1.00: status: { DRDY 3 }` And I couldn't make sense of the smartmontools long test results for the HDD: ``` ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 6799 (249 70 0) 12 Power_Cycle_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 4753 170 Unknown_Attribute 0x0033 100 100 010 Pre-fail Always - 0 171 Unknown_Attribute 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 172 Unknown_Attribute 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 174 Unknown_Attribute 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 76 183 Runtime_Bad_Block 0x0032 100 100 010 Old_age Always - 8 184 End-to-End_Error 0x0033 100 100 097 Pre-fail Always - 0 187 Reported_Uncorrect 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 192 Power-Off_Retract_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 76 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 225 Unknown_SSD_Attribute 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always -5 59312 226 Unknown_SSD_Attribute 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 65535 227 Unknown_SSD_Attribute 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 48 228 Power-off_Retract_Count 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 65535 232 Available_Reservd_Space 0x0033 100 100 010 Pre-fail Always - 0 233 Media_Wearout_Indicator 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 241 Total_LBAs_Written 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 559312 242 Total_LBAs_Read 0x0032 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 523233 249 Unknown_Attribute 0x0013 100 100 000 Pre-fail Always - 160 ```98
