Even though I can’t afford one myself right now, I’ve been keeping an eye on laptop for when I pick one up next year. Spotted these two deals and they seem pretty hot to me. YMMV $720 via TechReport (use checkout code SAVE20) Dell g3 Core i7-8750H 6 core cpu gtx 1060 6GB cpu 2x4GB ram for dual...

It’s got a lot of that Ubi-crap design that I hate (several categories of missions turned into a map littered with icons etc), but somehow Warner Bros didn’t screw it up and Avalanche Studios made one helluva game. Fun, visceral, engrossing, doesn’t overstay its welcome. Awesome sauce. It has...

Old news around here, but I was on vacation cruising around another continent for a few weeks. Now that I’m back and have had a chance to catch up on the news, just wanted to chime in. Kyle, I’ve been a reader of the [H] since 1998 when I was in college (I just happened to forget my first few...

Agreed. A lot of the long-term value from buying high-end cards is nearly impossible to deduce till long afterwards. Ditto when a card is a relative bust. I remember when the 8800gtx/gts came out. I balked at the price because I was still content with my 6800gt, instead opting to buy an Xbox 360...

Not all fabrication processes are equal; 10nm at company A does not spin nearly the same as company B. I think it was David Kanter who wrote a pretty good article about this a few years back. Global Foundries has been inferior to TSMC since at least the mid-2000s, and TSMC in turn trails Intel...

Kyle, any chance y’all could post a graph of the mainstream card pricing over the same span? It’d be interesting to see how it compares vs the halo products. I agree with many of the prior comments. I also believe that: Over the next 12-18 months the RTX series is intended to remain slotted...

Beyond excited to see that a ver 2.0 is (hopefully) coming this year. High probability I’ll be ordering the expected black case when the indiegogo launches, but my gf would squeal with delight if at some point ya’ll offered Sentry 2.0 in something more gf/wife-friendly like brushed...

The xb270hu comes in two flavors; LCD and IPS (denoted by a suffix that follows the first part of the model name). The IPS version sold out, all they have left is the LCD. Deals were smoking hot, and I was dang tempted to pull the trigger on either the xr341ck or perhaps the xb270hu. Decided to...

Price is fine, but that stand is hideous, just like the Acer z35. Other than that, 144Hz gsync IPS panels are hitting sales a lot more commonly nowadays. Microcenter was just running a deal where you could get 20% off Acer monitors with the purchase of almost any cpu. That meant you could pick...

Newegg is OoS on the HyperX Skyn mousepads. I had it in my cart, but it was stealth yanked during the checkout process. Bummer since I actually wanted it and had canceled my amazon order just to jump on the newegg freebie. I politely talked to newegg on the phone, and was hooked up with a $15...

Man, I just ordered the amazon deal, too. Looks like I'll cancel that one, and switch over to the newegg offer. Thanks for the heads-up fellas!

Been wanting a mechanical cherry red kb for awhile. Bought a k70 rgb. Cost $95.24 w/ tax and shipping. Thanks OP!

3 things run counter to that line of thinking: 1) Asus pg348q will almost assuredly cost over $1000, and probably a heckuva lot more ($1300? $1500?). If instead it's ~$800 or less, it's ubiquitousness will be the monitor equivalent of the old nvidia 8800 vanilla/gt/gts. Either way it'll...

Rather tempting. Da egg sells it for $849, so pricing is good. Some reviews mention backlight bleed, but it seems like half the time the people complaining about BLB don't bother to adjust brightness etc. Anyone own this thing to provide some insight?

:eek: That's pretty freakin' horrible!
