I pre-ordered a 14" M6 MBP, today. Got a nice trade-in price for my M3 Air. I hoped the Air would get the miniLED ProMotion, but it ain't gonna happen. I don't care about the new OLED/Touch screen Macs.

Drivers will pick the Porsche or other ICE equivalent over the Roadster because of vroom vroom even though they know the Roadster can smoke any production car out there. I drive a Jaguar F-Type and its 0-60 isn't super fast for a sports car...

While the name “Mission S” isn’t what I’d call it, it looks pretty good except that panel line on the back hip. Looks good from lots of angles. I’d consider one when they drop into the low 200s used.

I'm pretty sure the ones interested in that Porsche don't really care about your gimmicky "flying car."

Will continue playing Dead Space (2023). Currently, I am exactly halfway through.

I did some quick research. It seems the game has recouped all its costs and is profitable now. PC sales accounted for only around 17% of total sales. If they wanted to boost PC sales for some extra profits, they could launch it now on Steam, no?

Probably not. Epic wants it as an exclusive to try and push their store. They funded the whole game, which Remedy went for because it wasn't all that cheap and as a somewhat niche game it is hard to get the sales to cover it. Many publishers...

Do you guys think there is any chance that Alan Wake 2 will eventually come to Steam?

First true computer was a Cyrix 486 in the early 1990s. But the first true computer that I used a lot and for the first time got access to the internet (at home) was in 1997: Compaq Presario Intel Pentium MMX 200 MHz 80 MB RAM 3.2 GB HDD Later...

Done. Thanks.

Just installed mine. By the way, how much "lift" should you apply to the GPU? Just enough to support the GPU or a little more?

For those with large and heavy GPUs, do you use an anti-sag bracket? I have an XFX Mercury Radeon RX 9070 XT OC that is 360 mm in length and heavy. It came with an anti-sag bracket. I have not installed it but wondering if I should.

For gaming the "better" CPU isn't going to make any real difference between those two. The Ryzen AI 7 350 has a max boost of 5.0GHz, 4 full size cores, and 4 compact cores. The Ryzen AI 9 HX370 has a 5.1Ghz max boost, 4 full size cores, and 8...

Found the 2025 model of the same ASUS laptop with an RTX 5060. Same price too...

This okay for one around $1,500...

Thanks. But what about one for around $1,500?

Budget is around $1,500. I know this is way over budget, but how is it? AED 9,799 is $2,688...

The game still looks amazing. It doesn't need one.
