There's a couple of details that I don't really care for - I'd like it to be a bit smaller and have a USB-A port, but overall I'm still looking forward to this one.

 

$700: 7640U (6 CPU cores, 6 GPU EUs), 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD
$840: 7840U (8 CPU cores, 12 GPU EUs), 32GB of RAM, 512GB SSD
$1000: 7840U, 36GB RAM, 2TB SSD
$1300: 7840U, 64GB RAM, 4TB SSD

Cheaper models available in black, 2TB+ models available in black or white.

Sadly, no one else is as good as EVGA was when it comes to the warranty.

A couple of questions:

  • Does the <1400€ target budget need to include a screen, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc? If so, you'll probably want to set aside 3-400€ for those.
  • Do you think you'll prefer smoother gameplay (high refresh rate) or better graphics? (Higher resolution, ray tracing.)

As others have said, https://www.logicalincrements.com/ and https://pcpartpicker.com/ are both great sites for helping you pick out what parts to get. I also wanted to mention that logical increments has guides for screens, keyboards, mice, etc.

I'm using my phone to access the kbin.social website. Specifically I'm using Iceraven, which is a fork of Firefox for Android with a lot more add-ons enabled, and some other annoyances fixed.

Some things seem really snappy, other things seem to take a long time to load or even time out. But I assume that's just growing pains and it'll get better in due time.

I also tried using the official Mastodon app, but found that I couldn't really follow communities, only individual users.

[Edit]: trying it out on my computer now (Firefox on a Macbook) - looks about the same, just more content on screen at once. Feels like it's loading faster, but that might just be because it's been a couple of hours.
