Hi, I have been trying to find a laptop for school/general use at or under $1200 USD (willing to go a bit over if there's something that's truly worth it) So far I've managed to get it down to these four laptops, heres the thing, I cannot make my mind up (lol) if there's something better than the stuff listed, I am more than willing to take a look at it https://www.newegg.com/p/1TS-000E-11NK7?Item=9SIAWVGJH86040&quicklink=true https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09MMW3296/ref=crt_ewc_title_dp_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VivoBook-OLED-Laptop-WQXGA/dp/B09F8RBZKR/ref=sr_1_4?qid=1659744706&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011%2Cp_36%3A-120000%2Cp_n_condition-type%3A2224371011%2Cp_n_feature_thirty-three_browse-bin%3A23720418011|23720421011|23720422011%2Cp_n_feature_thirty-one_browse-bin%3A23716057011%2Cp_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A18107802011%2Cp_n_feature_thirty-two_browse-bin%3A23716457011&rnid=23716455011&rps=1&s=pc&sr=1-4 https://www.costco.com/asus-14"-zenbook-um3402ya-touchscreen-laptop---amd-ryzen-7-5825u---oled-2.8k-(2880-x-1800)---windows-11---jade-black.product.4000021074.html

Hello, I am looking for a preamp for my microphone under $90 because my behringer umc202hd introduces white noise as soon as i get close to 50% gain, which is annoying. Does anyone have a recommended preamp? I have a lewiit lct 440 pure.

Hello, I got my one plus 7 pro to upgrade from my iphone 6s, which was a big jump. Although some times my texts get sent to the wrong person, for example, if I send one to a groupchat the text goes to it, but then it sends an individual text to each of the people in it. I'm debating whether it's a phone issue itself, or a provider issue. Do you know what's going on?

Oh Okay, sounds good.

Okay sounds good, originally I had thought directx 12 would be a good choice, but then that started to glitch out, which made me to go directx 11. I'll definitely check out vulkan and opengl though.

Hey, quick question. Does nvidia GPU's support Vulkan, because im playing an emulator atm on directx 11, and it stutters from time to time, but it did not with vulkan. I could try opengl before vulkan, but just in case, is Vulkan supported on Nvidia GPUs? I have an RTX 2070 super.

Oh okay makes sense.

Just out of curiosity, why didn't you use a b450 tomahawk max instead of the aorus elite?

Yeah no problem, glad I could help.

A new cpu mobo and ram is a better upgrade, because if you were to upgrade the gpu, the cpu would most likely bottleneck it. Later on you can get a new gpu. Is there any specific reason you want a rtx 2060 rather than a rx 5700?

With your 15.000 kr budget, I'd look at a 5700xt or a rtx 2070 super. If you want ray-tracing get the rtx 2070 super, but in my opinion the 5700xt is a better option, as they perform similarly, but the 5700xt is cheaper. Its like a 800kr difference(I took the difference from the most expensive 5700xt and the cheapest rtx 2070 super), but make sure not to get the MSI evoke oc, as it has a cooling flaw with one of the thermal pads.

I'd recommend getting a ryzen 5 3600.

Hey, no sweat. Is there any particular reason you would be getting a 6700k? A ryzen 5 3600 is a better price to performance value compared to the 6700k. Its also much newer too. The 2070 super should be fine with a ryzen 5 3600, and im pretty sure it would be fine with the 6700k as well. Oh and, where are you located, because $650 is a lot for a 2070 super.

Yeah! As I was parting it out, I originally thought of just 1 big ssd because I didn't want to have to worry about configuring where files go, but then my co-worker who's also a pretty good friend of mine from school recommended I get a storage drive as well as a SSD because I'm going to go through 1 terabyte quickly. And besides i paid about $110 for the 500gb ssd and 2tb hdd, for that same price I would have only gotten like a 1tb ssd. I might later on, hopefully next summer, install another m.2 ssd, possibly of the pcie 4.0 kind because I believe my motherboard has a cover which acts as a heatsink for the m.2.
