I guess it's a mystery then

Reed from Smart Home Solver channel seems to be using the Amazon Fire 10 plus + the Anker wireless charging dock. And I was trying to find the same setup to buy here in Canada but it doesn't seem to be available, I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know why? and how can I buy those in Canada? For reference, he shows it here:

Freaking amazing answer, that's exactly the things I was wondering. You gave me a lot to look into, thank you

Sorry probably I forgot to say, this is what I have today already, and I am looking into buying something to upgrade this build. The monitor in this case, the company I work on paid for and gifted to me, so that's all good. I will definitely look into a 3050!

Bumping as I got no answer, any help would be appreciated here I guess the question I am looking for is. Motherboard, CPU or GPU, what would be a better upgrade for this?

I will try this and return with my findings also, I am one of the minorities that got blessed with a properly working, no QC issues 9700!

Budget (including currency): <= CAD 1000 Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: FPS Gaming / RTS Single Player + Adobe Lightroom / Premiere Other details: Looking for any upgrades that may help on gaming and just make the build a bit more solid, today when playing things like COD or Valorant, I have to play everything on low so I have some decent FPS. This is what I have today: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: Intel Core i5-7400 3 GHz Quad-Core Processor ($150.00 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X62 Liquid CPU Cooler Motherboard: Asus PRIME Z270-P ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory ($84.99 @ Amazon) Memory: TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory ($69.99 @ Newegg) Storage: *Samsung 850 Evo 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($179.00 @ Amazon) Video Card: Asus ROG STRIX Radeon RX 480 8 GB Video Card Case: NZXT H710i ATX Mid Tower Case ($139.99 @ B&H) Power Supply: Corsair CX650 (2017) 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($169.99 @ Amazon) Monitor: Dell U3415W 34.0" 3440 x 1440 60 Hz Curved Monitor ($1233.50 @ Amazon) Generated by PCPartPicker 2022-11-27 16:43 EST-0500

Hey there, Most of the posts here are looking for monitors with good refresh r / response time, I am looking for monitors with good contrast, I work as a developer and video/photo editing and most of the monitors I found that have a good black are because they have a low nit / low brightness. And to be fair I am a bit overwhelmed with every monitor out there claiming they have the best color profile and blablabla. My budget is around 500 / 600CAD (could go higher if really worth it) Any opinions on that?

Just in case, I found the solution. https://www.amazon.ca/EZDIY-FAB-Internal-19-Pin-Header-Adapter/dp/B082X5HT94

hey @Scugog did you find the answer to your question? I have the same case and same motherboard and looking for an answer to that hahaha.

So the newly released XPS 17 With... CPU: i7-10875H GPU: GeForce RTX™ 2060 6GB GDDR6 with Max-Q RAM: 32GB DDR4 Storage: 1TB M.2 PCIe It is only $3,999.99 (CAD) + $519.87 on taxes (Ontario/Canada) = $4,518.87 Reference: https://www.dell.com/en-ca/shop/dell-laptops/new-xps-17-laptop/spd/xps-17-9700-laptop/nxps179700_s3e?view=configurations&configurationid=faa67622-39ac-4dd9-808e-1139b04804a2 Is there any alternative with a decent screen cheaper than that? I know about the G14 Zephyrus, but the screen is also not the best, plus all the issues that it has been going through and no official release date in Canada.

The 2060 that the G14 uses is the Max-Q Design that has lower power consumption, because it has reduced clock speeds.\ Which means that the performance is lower than regular 2060 (dunno if even noticeable), but should be perfect when gaming at 1080p. Although, if a game uses Raytracing, for sure the framerate will be lower. I am eagerly waiting for the G14 (read, refreshing frantically the store pages hahah), but be aware that the G14 has some screen issues (Photo Editing will not be optimal). And the G15 which is cheaper, has a better screen for photo editing.

Is there any comparison? what's the big difference for the G14 be better? @5x5

I am looking into buying the G15 (I am in Canada/Ontario) but can't seem to find anywhere, do anyone know where can I find one? Also why is it sold out everywhere, is it really that good or just low stock? If I have to pay shipping from US that's not an issue either. I am looking into the 15.6” 240Hz FHD, GeForce RTX 2060, AMD Ryzen 7 4800HS Thanks, also sorry if this is not an allowed question here

Thanks, will definitely check it out!
