    What least expensive 34 UW OLED to get?

    Hey All. I need to upgrade my ancient Acer x34 and what I really want is a 4K Ultrawide OLED in the 38-45" range but its at least 18 months away. I think I have decided AGAINST getting a large UW in 3440x1440 due to the lower PPI as well at 16:9 format. So I'll stick with a smaller screen for...

    Buy now, by cheaper, buy later

    So I have an old 2017 Acer Predator x34 21:9. Still works but its old and IPS. I'd like to replace it with an ultrawide OLED. The problem is this year isn't that great for UW OLEDS as all the new screens are still 3440x1440. Late 2025 however we will start to see new panels in 4K in sizes 38"...

    Need laptop recommendations

    I wouldn’t recommend a MacBook for heavy MS Office use especially if someone is coming from a windows platform. We have both at work, and the Mac users constantly complain about it not being as friendly as the Windows version, especially Excel.

    NETGEAR Nighthawk R6400 bottlenecking internet speed

    Hello All thanks for the responses. I solved it. Problem wasn't the R6400 (well it was) but the fix was actually on the ISP router. WAN port 1 on the Orangebox was the R6400 and it was listed as a unknown device. All I had to do was specify the Device as a WIFI Access point. I suspect Chas was...

    Best gaming PC for under $550

    I get you are on a budget but gaming without a dedicated graphics card is going to suck. Anyway he can save up another 150 and get something decent or used? If not, he might just be better off with a PS4 and keeping the laptop. Cheaper too. I see a PS4 PRO RDR2 Pack is $399. Thats probably a...
