  1. Isn´t it illegal to even mention macbooks in this forum?
  2. You mean this? Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 LG gram
  3. I´m from Italy but I don´t think that changes anything lol. I don´t really have a budget yet but all three devices should be in more or less the same price class if I remember correctly. Weight and display size are of more importance. I want my new laptop to be as lightweight and thin as possible but the screen shouldn´t be too small, 13" or 14" should be fine. The panel itself shouldn´t be garbage either as I might use the laptop for minor photo and video processing when I´m on the go, but it also shouldn´t be a top notch over the top panel. I don´t really care about upgradable RAM as my initial thought was to buy a laptop that´s also "future proof" (I know in tech you can´t really say future proof, but I mean like near future proof).
  4. I´m studying economics, which has some kind of maths in the mix but the main parts are reading, typing and surfing the web.
  5. Hey guys^^ This year I´ve started going to university and I´ve liked it for now. Anyhow, it´s a real struggle bringing my big 15" Asus laptop to the various classes and the struggle doesn´t end with the size of the machine. The second thing bothering me is the battery capacity. I have to turn my screen on very dark and put the laptop on offline mode for it to survive 3 hours of the day. So as you might already think, I´m about to buy a new laptop and I have two (three) models in my mind: Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 LG gram 13" My third choice would be the Surface Laptop 3, but there aren´t even rumors out there about that laptop, so I don´t really know whether I should wait for it. Which laptop would you choose? Would you wait for the MSL 3? As a sidenote: I wouldn´t use the laptop as my main rig, as I already own a pretty beefy desktop pc at home. The laptop would be used at university and in bed, for watching yt-videos or netflix. Thanks for any answers ^^
  6. I know I was just asking if it was better to have the intake at the front and the exhaust at the rear, or to have the intake at the top and the exhaust atthe rear
  7. So should I move the top fan to the front, so there is at least some kind of front intake?
  8. Hey guys, All the pieces for my cousin´s budget build have finally arrived and as for the case I got him an NZXT H500, which does in fact come with 2 of their own AF120 fans (one is placed at the top of the case and one on the rear). The PC has a GTX 1060 6GB and an i5 8400, cooled with the cooler that comes with it. However I´m starting to wonder whether 2 case fans will be enough, if I were to put the top fan to the front and leave the rear front where it is. The system itself is not too powerful so I´m not expecting it to become too hot, although I can´t really be sure about that. That´s why I´m asking you: Should I buy one more fan so I have 3 case fans or are 2 just fine for that amount of hardware? Thanks for any answers
  9. My thinking process was that RAM is the easiest part to swap out (or improve) in a PC and that´s why I cheaped out there, so that in future my cousin can just buy some sticks and replace them himself. In the meantime I can have an i5 8400 and stay in budget-range. Bad thinking?
  10. Hey guys, My uncle asked me to build a "budget" pc for my cousin. He is giving me 800€ and told me to make the best price-performance-ratio pc I can. These are the parts I chose: i5 8400 (will use it with stock cooler) Gygabite GTX 1060 (6GB) Asus Prime B360-Plus Aerocool Cylon Case Corsair CX450W Kingston HyperX (2x 4GB) 2666Mhz Crucial MX500 SSD (500GB) So what do you guys think? What should I change?
  11. Yeah well I tried out the windows feature. The problem with that is the very noticable delay, which is pretty annoying.
  12. Hey guys, A few weeks ago I bought my first standalone microphone, it´s the Neewer NW-800 (condenser mic) and I´ve been loving it so far. There is one problem though... I am kind of missing the sidetone feature, which I had had on my Corsair HS70 wireless headset when I was still using its own mic. Is there any way to get a good sidetone, without too much delay? I´ve been searching on the web for quite a while now and I haven´t really found an answer yet. Maybe you guys can help me out Thanks for any answers ^^
  13. I tried. I can only find samsung magician and that´s just a monitoring software. Downloaded macrium. Should be fine, right?
  14. Oh, so I can´t just clone parts of it? My main storage is at like 800GB and my SSD only has 500. Do I need to delete some things or can I just copy some parts and leave other parts on my HDD?
  15. Hello guys ^^ Today my new 970 EVO was finally delivered and I immediately installed it. I´ve been using my 5 year old HDD before I got this new piece of cake but now I´ve got a problem: All of my files are on the HDD (including Windows). Do you guys know a software to clone parts of my HDD to my SSD?
  16. Yeah I meant charge the laptop sorry for that haha. Oh okey thanks for your answer ^^ Probably could´ve thought of that myself, but I wanted to be 100% sure
  17. Hey guys ^^ Recently I bought a new monitor and it´s got a USB Type C port which can be used to charge the monitor and mirror its screen. I don´t have a MacBook (which has thunderbolt usb C) but my laptop has a Mini DP out port. Now my question is, can I make use of all the above listed features with a USB Type C to Mini DP cable?
  18. Hey guys^^I´m looking for a new headset to replace my old Turtle Beach P11 (lol) and I prefer a wireless option, because I noticed I´d really benefit from that. Now my two choices would be the HyperX Cloud Flight and the Corsair HS70; both are priced around the same right now on amazon. I tried to do a little research but it occurs that the two headsets never really have been compared to each other, so I´m asking you guys.What do you think? Which headset should I get and why?Thanks for any answers ^^
  19. Yeah well I am too coming from a 5 year old TN panel BenQ monitor but you know... When you´re coming from such low specs you can´t really imagine what a (on paper) much better monitor could look like. I´m just really worried that I won´t be able to work on it and get nice and true colors... oh god...
  20. I read this review and it says the monitor is kinda terrible: LG is the brand that has been active in this segment the longest. Two years ago they managed to impress us with their excellent 97-series models, which were also equipped with Thunderbolt. Last year's successors were also good, but did not innovate much and were also more expensive. This year the Korean brand does seem to continue this negative trend. The 34UC99 looks great, and usb type-c is a connector that is becoming a requirement in this class, but still a step back from Thunderbolt. With TB3 the brand could have offered all possibilities of this new connector and those of the previous models. Add to that the fact that the adjustment of the gray values in particular is clearly not up to par, while the colour fault is also too high for a monitor in this class. The good uniformity and viewing angles cannot compensate for this, especially since this monitor is also far from competitive in terms of price.

  21. I got a 1080Ti paired with an i7 8700k so that shouldn´t be too much of a problem haha. The only thing I´m worried about is the truthfulness to colors. I don´t know whether or not the IPS panel is calibrated well enough to color grade photos and videos
  22. Hey guys Today (like 10 minutes ago) I bought a new monitor: the LG 34UC99-W. I was in a rush because the two monitors I wanted to buy before that went out of stock real quick because of Black Friday. Now I wanted to ask you guys if I should cancel the order or not. Do you have any experience with the monitor? Should I have bought the 34UC98-W instead? I´ll be using the monitor mainly for video editing and movie watching and I´ll be gaming on the side. Thanks for any answers ^^
  23. Hey guys^^ Now that Black Friday is really just around the corner, I wanted to upgrade to a new headset and replace my VERY old Turtle Beach P11. I want to opt for a wireless headset, because of the freedom they give me while watching movies, listening to music or just to get something to eat from the kitchen for a little gaming break. My two options would be the Corsair HS70 and the HyperX Cloud Flight. I don´t really know which one to pick. Budget´s not really a problem because they´re both pretty "cheap" right now, with the HS70 pricing 110€ and the Cloud Flight 100€. So which one would you recommend and why? Thanks for any answers ^^
