  1. Well, since thunderbolt 3 passes 4xPCIe I thought it would make a difference
  2. For work I usually need a dualboot, and I've always been under the impression that having the operating systems in seperate drives, rather than partitioning a bigger one, is saffer (saffer as in less likely to cause me trouble) but correct me if I'm wrong. In my current laptop I removed the disc drive and put a second SSD in its place. However my laptop is getting old, and I'm thinking about getting a new one. Sadly, most thin laptops these days cannot fit two drives. Say if I bought one with a thunderbolt 3 port, could I get an adapter and run linux from an external nvme stick? Would it run seaminglessly? Is there a better way to do it?
  3. I dont need a link per say. If you find a laptop, any laptop around that price range, I can probably find it myself. It doesn't need to be 4k, 1440p is fine, just not 1080 or under.
  4. Well, I'm from europe but the price is a bit more indicative than anything, I dont need it right now so if I find something I can wait for it to go on sale. I'm not too picky about sizes, I'm more interested in the resolution, if it ends up being small, I won't mind.
  5. So here's the thing, I've been looking for a new laptop that fullfils my needs and I've found that there is a gap in the market. All I do in a laptop is watching videos (YT and NF) and some light work so: I dont really need a great CPU (7th gen i3 would probably me more that enough for what I do), I dont really need a discrete GPU either (I dont intent to game on it), All I really want is a good screen, good color range, 1440p (to not get obsolete in a couple of years), it doesn't even need to be high response time or refresh rate (60hz is enough). The thing is, most computers with these kind of screens are expensive gaming laptopts with loads of stuff I dont want. So I kinda wanted it to be below 800$. Is there such a Laptop? Where should I look? (PS: a chromebook won't do because I need it to run some programs like the arduino compiler and other college related stuff that is not covered by those OS's)
  6. I've been wanting to build a ~850$ PC for Gaming and CAD. For the past couple of months I was undecided wether I should wait for the new generation, or just buy a 6Gb gtx 1060. I couple of days ago I told myself "No, the next gen won't be comming anytime soon, I'll buy everything on after christmas sales and be done with it!" However, yesterday the new Titan V was anounced and released. And while it is not what I'm looking for, it is a Volta architecture card, which makes me think that mid-range Volta cards might be closer than I thought. I really don't feel like spending 300$ on a 1060, and then having Nvidia realeasing a 150$ gtx 2050 (or whatever they're calling it) that outperforms my card. But if the cards are only realeased in like July or something, I would rather buy one now. What should I do?
