Thanks, I'll look into those. The 5440 is reasonably priced. If I don't find anything slimmer, this might be on the top of my list.

I need help choosing a laptop that will be used primarily for working at home, connected to 2 or 3 screens, and for travel (I already have a USB-C hub with 100W PD). Requirements: Lightweight 16GB RAM Well built USB-C PD Nice to haves: Thunderbolt 4 Touchscreen Slim I don't need powerful specs. A modern i5 or equivalent is enough, no gaming GPU, and for storage even 256 GB is likely enough, no reason to go above 512 GB, 1080p-ish screen resolution. The problem I am having with this is that many laptops in this config I've seen come with 8GB RAM, but I know when I work on my gaming PC, I'm nearly always above 8GB usage, so I might need to get an i7 which is fine. For this computer, I care about build quality, so I'd like to avoid cheap plastic builds and rather look for the lesser specced Dell XPS/LG Gram types, possibly Microsoft Surface or others I am not aware of. I do not have experience with any of these, so any advice will be appreciated. My budget is somewhere around 1000€. As low as I can get away with, but willing to go up to 1300€ if it makes sense for the given model that has some extra bells and whistles.

Rayman Legends/Origins. My 7 year old is great at them and loves to play them for almost a year now.

Most of mine were already mentioned, but I'd add Bastion (all SuperGiant games have great soundtracks) and Nier: Automata.

Low Spec Gamer made a video on PUBG a couple of months ago. Maybe you can use some of what he does.

A friend of mine sent me his old parts that he replaced by mail. I payed the postage, but I think this still counts. It was an i3 2100, 4GB of Corsair RAM and an XFX HD 6870. I had a really shitty machine and my graphics card just died, so he sent me these parts from a couple of countries away. This was about 3 years ago, I've upgraded since, but my daughter is still using it. Great gesture by him.

i3 2100 / 4GB RAM / XFX HD 6870 ==> i5 6600 / 16GB RAM / GTX 1070

You can probably still overclock the 6500 if you're willing to roll back your bios (unless you're still on the old one) and fiddle with it, asuming your board supports it. It will only let you OC the BCLK, but I've read some ppl got to 4.4 stable. A small amount of googling will net you a lot of info on this if you're interested.

The 2 best things that modding does to games is expanding their lifespan - GTA V and Skyrim are prime examples of this- and mods can also create new games or even new genres. You could say mobas were born of a warcraft 3 mod, or more precisely a Starcraft mod called Aeon of Strife. Also the whole battle royale genre thats recently popular was originally spawned of a mod from one of those military games, can't remember which one. And of course CS is a Half Life mod. There are obviously always going to be bad mods, joke mods, or mods that you personally dislike, but like was mentioned before - you decide which mods you use or don't. Modding is a very positive thing and probably crucial in some cases.

Oh. So this is exactly like 2x 1080p monitors, without a bezel. And its aimed at gamers? But can you play a game at fullscreen setting on half of the screen if you use their software screen splitter thingie?

If you don't mind a TON of reading, Pyre just came out. You banish your opponents or get banished during the rites for a short time, but no one gets hurt or dies in the game.

League of Legends/ Heroes of the Storm/ Dota2 Hearthstone Faeria Warframe Smite Team Fortress 2 Path of Exile Paladins Awesomenauts Tabletopia Starcraft 2 Starter Edition has a lot of free content.

Steam link for $15 is a steal. HDMI cable is an easy solution if your TV is close and offers more flexibility such as extended desktop, being able to watch video on 1 screen while gaming on the other, which Steam Link can't do, but all your controls/peripherals go directly through the PC. Also, you can play ALL games through the cable, not only the ones in your Steam library, though Steam allows you to add non-steam games, however controller support might not be there. Steam Link is great if your TV is in a separate room where HDMI is not a great option. You can connect a good amount of wireless controllers directly to the Steam Link, some of them work natively, without the need of the USB dongle which often costs more than $15 and also keyboard/mouse and probably all wired controllers, which is one of the strong points for me. You are able to minimize Steam Big Picture mode and basically mirror your desktop, allowing you to browse, stream video and whatnot. If you think in the future you might move to a different place or move your TV to a different room, Steam Link is worth getting at this price. Otherwise at your current distance you should be OK with the HDMI. One more thing, make sure your TV is in 'Game Mode' or something similar when gaming on it, most TVs nowadays have this function. You will lose some image quality, since this disables any post-processing your TV does, but it reduces the input lag which is way more important. Hope this helps.

If you like shooters, you need to play Wolfenstein: The New Order and more importantly, Doom (2016). Metro 2033 is great too.
