Buying Apple upgrades nowadays is like going to your favourite ‘lady dance club’ and raining dollars like you’re in Vegas. It used to be much easier…you just paid monthly…3 month’s salary for the computer, 1 month’s salary for the FPU, and 3 month’s salary for the 20mb HDD 😁 Luckily all my...

Has the exchange rate got that bad? I thought it was only $200 dollars per tiny upgrade.

Is this a pre-built system, or did you get some advice on the components? Did you buy it with Windows or without? Is the monitor plugged into the correct port(i.e. into the GPU, not the motherboard)? What happens if you manually turn on or switch inputs on the monitor? It would also help if...

My M4 iPad Pro is due on Wednesday…as a replacement for a 5 year old iPad Air (A12 CPU). Only upgrading as I think some of the apps I’m using want more than the 3GB RAM, as they‘re starting to randomly crash. AI assistants on devices are something I can do without at the moment…the only AI...

None of my old monitors are dead. They've all found lives with members of my family...in much the same was as all my old Macs. My old gaming monitor is now my work's laptop second screen, which replaced the old 1080p screen, which was given to a great-nephew for his Xbox One. My old Mac Cinema...

Mine's not used for productivity at all, and probably only 20 hours a week for gaming, so I've got even less chance of burn-in I guess. It probably won't last more than 5 years before I fancy a change though - either to a 32" 4K or a 39" ultrawide 1440p (for the extra vertical).

Hardware/Monitors Unboxed thoughts after 2 years of using their AW3423DW.

I believe the Alienware uses Gen 1 QD OLED, and the MSI uses Gen 3 QD OLED. Gen 3 is better overall as it's less susceptible to burn-in and has less fringing on text.

If you're wanting to play with ray-tracing on and use VR, then Nvidia is the best way to go. If not the AMD is the better value for money.

Does it have a little tab to press down on the end of the cable?

Intel's new naming scheme will be something like: i3 = Bogart i5 = Flasher i7 = Mohawk i9 = Stripe Rules for Intel buyers: Do not expose Intel to high powers. The reaction causes a motherboard to either be killed via a gruesome melting process, as seen with i9 14900KS on youtube, until the...

As Mr Rossmann says with all this enshitification…it’s a pirate life for him…although that was more in relation to streaming services adding adverts into premium services, or removing your access to ‘bought’ items when the reseller’s licence expires. I’m a single-player-gamer, so...

Are you referring to your previous post? New pc for iracing simulator We asked for more info, but didn't reply, so neither did we!

I think they said it was because the end customer may require a pallet delivery at extra cost...but mine didn't get delivered on a pallet, so I assume they were okay with it. Maybe they work to volumetric sizing (so WxLxH) so 466x328x481 (0.074m2) is much smaller that way than 600x300x630 (0.11m2)?

Have a read of the below sticky, and come back and edit your post to answer some of the questions raised (budget, any other uses other than gaming, RT/VR or not, size/space constraints, monitor make & model or resolution & refresh rate, etc.)...and I'm sure one of the experts will offer a...
