    Windows measures in Tebibytes, not Terabytes - if that is what you are referencing

    Heya. If all your Applications run on Apple Silicon, get a base Macbook Air M1 or M2.
     
    If it has to be Windows, Lenovo Ideapad 5 Pro series is really great. Solid quality, great screen, good performance.

    Slottr reacted to Hinjima in so this is my first pc build and its over budget   
    Here you go 🙂   Still keeping the excellent 13600k, 32GB DDR5 RAM. RTX 4070!.  Great and pretty case with good airflow.
    Reliable PSU from Corsair, 750w is enough, I use 750w on my RTX 4080.

    That's even worse, a 500 EUR+ GPU that performs only 10% better than one that costs 360.
    The 4060 is also bad, the 3060Ti is 10% faster for 20 euros more, and the 6700XT is a bit over 10% faster than the 4060 and has 4GB more VRAM for 40 euros more. The 6650XT is also a better option over the 4060, being less than 10% slower while costing 80 euros less.

    To some extent it would be, given you need a certain quality of design to meet that requirement which inherently means it can't be complete junk.  There's two problems though:

    1) It doesn't guarantee how long the components will last.
    2) Junk-grade PSUs will just lie and put the label on when they don't even meet 80+ white standard.

    Platinum is just an efficiency rating, it has zero relation to the quality of the unit.

    Slottr got a reaction from SorryBella in Thoughts on Gunnar Glasses?   
    Having used Gunnar's specifically and had other filtering glasses, I personally notice no difference within my quality of life with or without them. 
     
    There's been a number of studies that have found very minor to no assistance with sleep rhythms. However there's other studies that show that more 'violent' blue wave type displays can cause major fatigue. In this case I'm sure filtered glasses have benefits, but probably not to the extent advertising has pumped them up.

    The audiophile market has a lot more to offer sound quality wise. If this is an option, 560S’ are pretty endgame as far as casual gaming is concerned 
     
    granted if you want a headset, that is totally fine. Another pair of cloud 2’s is viable. I’d maybe also consider PC38X’s

    I know you're a mod and can't condone the 'Bay, but at least comment that you don't have to give Shitsoft $99 for their OS. 🙂  Unactivated for the win!!!!
     
    Are you sold on those Logitech peripherals?  For that price, you can get a very nice mechanical keyboard with switches YOU want.  
     
    Also, for your price point, you can get a really well built and gorgeous case to house all this.  4000D is meh.

    There just arent any 24" 1440 gaming displays, same goes for 4K.
     
    What GPU? If you're not running a 4090 or 7900 XTX, you won't want 4K. Your performance won't be consistently high enough.

    You already found the answer yourself. They do have but very rare especially with below spec request.
     
    Your request spec basically only available for at least 27".
