That's a bit harsh. With problems are there with the Xs?

I upgraded from a 4 year old galaxy note 3 to an S7 a couple of months ago, and with the new IPhones being released, I was wondering if you guys would have any opinions for or against upgrading again to the Xs or Xr when it is available.

Are there any good laptops (preferably 2-in-1s) you guys would recommend that have a Thunderbolt 3 enabled port that's cheaper than $1000 USD?

Why don't we see very many companies making convertible 2-in-1 laptops with high-end mobile processors and discrete graphics higher than a MX150? (or if you're lucky, a 1050 like with the Acer Spin 5)

I do have 8 gigs? Like I said, I don't want to deal with HDDs because of the speed, and 250 is not enough, nor do I think scraping by 300-400 will save me.

The budget is around $675 USD, but I don't think pushing it to $700 will do me any good.

I'm not sure if a hybrid drive will do me any better, either.

My birthday is next month! I'm planning on getting a new phone, or at least saving up for one to buy probably in the next 2 or so months if not in June. Currently, I am looking for something more around the price point of $400-$700 USD. What do you guys recommend? Should I look to see what the OnePlus 6 has to offer as well? I am upgrading from a 4-ish year old Galaxy Note 3, so I think most of what you guys will offer is an upgrade. I don't care about the launcher as I already have the paid version of Nova Launcher (forgot what it was called) on my Google-Play account. Water resistance is something I'd like. Wireless charging is not very important. Screen resolution is not a big issue. Screen technology (IPS vs OLED) isn't important either. Headphone jack is something I'm willing to give up. generally speaking, the color of the shell doesn't matter as I plan to get a DBrand case if available.

Maybe? But more often than not if you're in a place where surges are often you'll be better off with an external battery instead

Yeah.

It probably could be because you're pulling off of an extension and into the wall. Why not tun the PSU off the wall outlets?

Unless the RAM is upgradeable, I'm getting the 1050 instead.

Should I get a laptop like this, or wait and see if we get next-gen mobile cards?

If you're playing games like 6-Siege, get a 1080p 240hz or 1440p 144hz monitor. Prices right now are ass unless you're lucky enough to find somewhere where it's not intensely inflated.

I can't. So I'm stuck? There's nothing I can do?

My laptop has 6 gigs of RAM, and almost 95% of the time I'm using 4-4.8 gigs at any given moment (I always have task manager open to check). But for some reason It often stops at 5 gigs and then closes Opera (The memory hog of the entire system). Is there any reason why it doesn't use any of the leftover gig to keep on going?

Like more storage options. And a little more OC headroom. But not much.

You will never need an X370 mobo for the Ryzen 5 series. You'll barely need it for even Ryzen 7, unless you want the extra ports and all.

It goes from a 1060 to a 1080. I don't get much wiggle room so either i cut into something else or Go over the budget.

To see the reply before you actually click on the post, kinda like how it is in the normal forums when you hover over the name of the topic.

MB? Or GB?

You're better off getting the new system with a 1080/1070. The 1070ti are usually $20-40 cheaper than the 1080s.
