    aGl1tch reacted to miguelezpeleta in Looking for laptop on a budget 700EUR MAX, ~780USD   
    Hi aGl1tch, thanks a lot for the suggestions! Sadly, that online store doesn't have a Berlin storeplace 
    But alas, the suggestions you gave me are pretty great for what I've found around the internet, and yes, even though they are a little away from the budget, I think I'm able to extend to it, top.
    I'll give other folks around here the chance to give any suggestions they may have, and I'll search a way to get the ASUS one that you linked in any other stores that could have a premise on Berlin.
    Thanks again!

    I think Acer's releasing a new Ryzen-based laptop soon that's supposed to be 'budget friendly' (don't know what that would translate to in terms of pricing though). None of the above with the exception of the HP offer dedicated GPUs so that's that, concerning the issue of a decent graphics card. 

    Mh.. here are some that I've found that I could be what you're looking for (it's a German shop and I'm pretty sure they have a store location in Berlin)

    Now the 940MX isn't a great GPU but it's definitely better than an intigrated chip, and from what I've seen it's even able to push some games (so my guess would be that it would serve you well with your simulation software). 

    Now the ones I've listed are a bit over-budget, but I think the better screens and SSD/HDD combos are well worth the money if you're using the machine day-to-day.

    Anyways, I hope I could help somewhat!
    Take care


    edit: looked it up, they don't have a store in Berlin but Mediamarkt or Saturn probably have the same notebooks in their inventory

    I have a G403 from Logitech (though the wired version) and love it - there is a wireless version available too. From the images I've seen they seem to be somewhat similar in shape, though I could be wrong on that. The Logitechs have better sensors though I think ^^

    That's impressive, sure but Intel dun goofed with their pricing and this whole X299 platform is just a mess. 
    I'm giving my money to AMD the next time I upgrade my CPU/Mobo, glad I only went for a budget B150 build when I did, screw Intel imo

    Might be a bit tight on your budget but I think an I7 would be a good investment.

    OP, I would check this out like NOW:
     
    i7 6700 for $230, 99.9% seller rating, used and more than 10 available:

    This would be a really good upgrade for now, it wil llast for at least 4 to 5 years, and you can also fit a new HDD into your 300 ish budget

    aGl1tch reacted to MVPernula in What to upgrade next?   
    Well that's honestly not a huge upgrade considering that pentium is really good on its two cores and 4 threads.
    An upgrade worth buying in that case would be an i5 for an actual increase in performance.
     
    If you have no problems with the HDD you're fine! No noises or stutters? OK.
    This is overall a pretty budget build, I'd say upgrade the things you find necessary first! Like the obvious CPU bottleneck you mentioned, then CPU would be my recommendation.
    An i5 would do you great in this build, like the i5 7500.
     
    Then get a beefier GPU later on. 8GB RAM is enough for now.

    I would upgrade the HDD first, its a little small and old so anything like a 1 tb or 2 will do fine (its cheap too so y not?)
     
    As for CPU upgrade, I would get a used 6700, or an i5 (but mined you, an i5 is starting to show its age and you will upgrade this sooner than you think)
     
    More ram will help stutters and such, especially with games like GTA V or any open world titles

    You PSU is fine for now.
    I would definitely upgrade the CPU to an i5 at least depending on your budget.
    Then after that I would focus on getting an SSD and or a RAM upgrade to 16GB.

    Replace that psu first, then upgrade cpu to an i5 of some description, then the gpu, all else should be fine

    MSI GS63VR or Gigabyte Aero 14 if you want to do a little bit of gaming on the side. (GTX 1060)
     
    XPS 15 or Yoga 720 for less gaming (GTX 1050)
     
    Yoga 710 meets your 940MX requirement.

    The new Asus Zenbook Pro seems really interesting. It's in your interest to wait a bit until a few people have tested it out.
     
    Otherwise, get a XPS15 off Dell Outlet or somewhere.

    aGl1tch reacted to Delicieuxz in Drugs Kill   
    The massive increase in the previous few years of people overdosing on opioids such as fentanyl, carfentanil, and W-18, which are are 100 to 1000 times stronger than safer alternatives such as heroin, oxycodone, and morphine, is largely due to restrictions on prescriptions for safer opioids, and ideology-driven doctor prescription behaviours.
     
    Doctors don't know anything about pain, and they're often the people who believed government propaganda and had it ingrained into them. Consequently, a lot of people who suffer severe pain cannot find compassionate care from a doctor, and many of those people end up buying substances on the black market, without knowing the purity or exact mixture of what they're taking. For some opioids, the amount that will cause a person to OD can be as small as a grain of salt. So, not only does a black market buyer not know how much actual drug they have, or even which drugs there might be in what they've bought, but they also don't know how evenly the drug they've bought has been mixed into its buffer agent. That situation of risk is one created by drug prohibition and hardline prescribing regulations.
     
    That isn't an argument against drugs, it's an argument against drug prohibition. Humanity will never be free from drug use in society because the human brain is itself a drug bath, and when people take drugs, they're usually manipulating pre-existing chemicals within their brain to experience certain of them more. And people are often drawn to do this because the state of their brain is deficient in some of those chemicals. There are many people who have never touched a criminalized drug in their lives, who are 24/7 more "high" than many "addicts" are after they take a line of cocaine, because a massive increase in dopamine availability within a brain is cocaine's effect, while the human brain uses dopamine to process information, with things like depression, anxiety, psychosis, and a lot of other dispositions involve a lack of dopamine to deal with the amount of information that a brain is trying to process.
     
    Contemporary medical doctrine is a long way off from being about the truth. It is more about keeping people away from enjoyable substances out of ideology, fear, and also because it is more profitable to provide a little or placebo treatment to people perpetually than it is to allow them access to a full cure.

    I mean 3x120mm=360mm whereas 2x140mm=280mm so... If you're only going off of that the 120s would be the way to go I guess, provided of course you have a way of plugging in all of them. 

    edit: but imo that amount of fans is too much, unless you want to go 'Skunkworks' and fill your case with big rads and stuff. Personally I'd take the 140s.
