Hello! I started to study Computer Science and looking for a budget notebook. It should last at least 3 years. Usage: Coding Multimedia (Yt, Twitch, Netflix, etc) Browsing Recommended Specs: Linux compatible (probably Ubuntu 18.04) SSD 250gb (upgradable) 8gb (upgradable not soldered) not heavy (carrying all day long at Uni); 13-15 inches Screen, Ips panel and 1080p resolution Battery: approx 6 hours Budget: till 700€ (cheaper is better) Keyboard: no preferences

Hello guys! I want to buy a 240hz Monitor next month. Dell Alienware AW2518HF with Freesync costs 340€ and with G-sync 540€ in Europe. Since Nvidia allows to use Freesync with Nvidia graphics card so I am thinking to get this monitor. Does anybody has the same monitor with freesync and nvidia graphics card (10- or 20-series). I read that some monitors with freesync enabled have still issues with nvidia graphics card.

Thanks bud! Greetings from Vorarlberg

Currently I mainly play FPS games, but also singleplayer games with great stories, graphics, characters etc. The budget does not matter. Would you rather buy a 1080p with 240hz or a 1440p with 165hz refresh rate. Or would you just not buy a TN panel and go for IPS 1440p with 4ms response time instead. Is there a huge diffrence between 1ms and 4ms response time?

Thank you for the answers guys, because the airflow is an important thing for me. And the case is beautiful designed.

Hey guys! I want to buy a new pc case (Fractal Design Meshify C or Nzxt h400i) and cant decide which case i should buy. I love both cases, but which case would you guys recommend and buy? Can you explain me why?. Thanks!

Thank you for your answer! I will go with the Dell xps 13.

Hey guys! My brother ordered a Microsoft Surface Laptop for my birthday. I would like to know how good Linux will run on it. Should I cancel the order and order another notebook? Do you have some recommendations? To myself: I started to study computer science and need a thin lightweight, but also powerful notebook. I want to write programs on C, C++, Python and Java, but also watch movies etc. Thank you for your answer

First of all, thank you for your informative reply! I think I will just go first with the gpu, psu, etc. and just look how well the performance is.

Thanks for all replies guys! I appreciate it. I will keep it.

Hi Guys! I want to buy a new graphics card, psu and a new case. I am looking for a GTX 1080. Should I keep my cpu or buy the ryzen 1600x? What do you guys think? My current mainboard is by the way from medion h81h3-em. It has a PCI x16 2.0 Slot. Is my mainboard good enough or should I buy a new one?
