Anyone know how to completely remove Norton from this?

I've run Norton's removal tool multiple times but parts remain.

The software suite still shows with the programs in the start screen, but is not when I go to Remove Programs. Nothing Norton is listed under remove programs, but something is still running hidden somewhere. Whenever windows update runs Norton Downloader tries to reinstall Norton. Despite obviously running, Norton Downloader does not show up anywhere I can find to uninstall it.

Right Clicking on the software suite gives the option to uninstall in the popup menu, but that just takes you to the remove programs screen, where nothing Norton is listed.

Quote from ssrrr123 View quoted comment :
Spectre affects AMD too [phoronix.com] (and virtually every other modern processor). Discussion of results [reddit.com].

SMT is in AMD too. How about a sane discussion about SMT and security [thesai.org] before you go axing performance for marginal security increases for home users. Do your part to fight superstition in IT.
From the article you referenced

Quote :
If looking at the geometric mean for these various mitigation-sensitive benchmarks, the default mitigations on the Core i9 9900K amounted to a 28% hit while the Ryzen 7 2700X saw a 5% hit with its default Spectre mitigations and the new Ryzen 7 3700X came in at 6% and the Ryzen 9 3900X at just over 5%.
Even when AMD has bugs, the same issue is much bigger for Intel.

From my vantage point AMD is a better value. The GPU part of the equation you already agreed on as better value for AMD. For the CPU part the price should be more than enough reason to pass on Intel version of this laptop $429.00 vs. $349.00 AMD. Event if the price was the same, I would still go with the AMD due to GPU performance and Intel architecture issues affecting performance more so than AMD in all cases I have seen.

But feel free to have the last word on why we should buy Intel in this case Applause .

How does Linux run on this? I've considered getting one of the Gateways for use with PopOS. Have you encountered any compatibility issues along the way?
Runs great with current kernels but the 5.8.0 that comes with ubuntu 20.10 doesn't support the wifi or audio. 5.11.8 seems to be fine.

Thanks for the response, but I looked through the reddit and it doesn't seem to apply to Norton. It is about removing Microsoft built in programs. The only thing it says about other bloatware is to use add/remove programs, and that doesn't work here.

Got mine shortly ago, popped the rear cover off to see what's in side.

Memory is soldered, there's a second m2 slot that you can access without removing the entire back.

Any questions on the hardware side I can likely answer, I put linux on mine already so I can't answer anything about how it works in windows.
Does it support 2.4Ghz wifi? or only 5ghz? or both? or only 2.4ghz, etc Big Grin

I haven't found out which key to press in order to enter boot menu during reboot.
Any findings folks?

I got this one in December and have been using it as my primary work computer for about a month. So far it works great - supports 2 external monitors and my bad habit of always having 20-30 tabs open. Both the usb c and hdmi connections feel a little loose and it did get stuck in a self repair mode after the latest update but I was able to get it back up and running relatively easily.
I pulled the trigger on this one. I will have it Tuesday. The kids needed something as their ancient desktop died.

Only one color left, the blue. And it's burning my eyes. What are the chances black/silver will get back in stock again?

I just checked, black is in stock. No blue. For how long black is available is anyone's guess.

Either delete or F2, I always tap both of them and it works.

Yeah 80mm for both slots but not sure they actually support nvme as the included ssd is m2 sata
