Build quality of zephyrus g14

I am interested in this laptop but need good build quality. Like the dell XPs 15. Specifically I like the rigidity of the dell screen- like MacBooks of old. The screen gets a lot of abuse and I dislike the flexy nature of a lot of the new thin laptops.

Question help tracing ip address

thank you. obviously it's Steam (their client for game purchasing/management) I've kept an eye on this - it still happens. I'm guessing the client updates itself periodically (pretty often actually). I'm in the US so I guess some load balancer is sending it abroad.

When my pc starts up, I see a lot of network traffic by 'system' to 162.254.196.68. It eventually calms down but I was concerned. There are no unidentified processes running in task manager (but that doesnt mean much since a rootkit can hide its existence) PC scans clean with malware bytes, eset...

Although HBM promises a lower energy consumption for greater bandwidths, this is only part of what makes video card. The GPU itself with its thousands of cores is where the 'action'is. Just because a video card uses HBM, doesnt mean it will be faster, or will it? Is the thermal throttling that...

Can EM emission spikes in the radio bands (as measured by the VLA http://www.vla.nrao.edu or Spektr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spektr-R) be correlated with the transit of planets as detected by Kepler? Or is the noise of the star too great? Just listening to 'space radio' of course has...
