Reasonable pricing varies between person to person because what an item is worth is up to each person's opinion. Currently you can find solid SSD's with 2TB capacities for $100 or around that price, which is the best it's been for quite some time. Hope that helps!

With everything you named she'd be using the laptop for, any laptop you fit in your budget will easily compute. I suggest, simply look for the requirements you named (touchscreen & HDMI), then find one you prefer or ask here if it's a good one for it's price. Otherwise, there is way too many choices out there, and prices for items change fast.

I could be incorrect, but the cooler doesn't state it's compatible with LGA 1700 Sockets. I recommend looking into that, and consider a more beefy cooler for that i9.

LTT has made a video about mixing memory, I recommend watching it if you're interested in learning more.

The overlay is installed and enabled by default in Windows normally, and is activated by pressing Win + G.

There are tons of more knowledgeable people on this forum, but I thought I'd pitch in my ideas as well. The games you mentioned above that you have experienced crashes with are more graphically demanding than the games listed that you didn't have trouble with. A good example is Minecraft, where it's fine until you enable a graphically heavy mod/shader pack. This leads me to believe the first spot to investigate is to be your Graphics Card. By chance, is this computer a prebuilt, or using parts from a prebuilt PC? A close friend of mine had recently needed my help troubleshooting random blue screens, and the eventual problem where they couldn't play VR games without the computer turning off. We found it was their Graphics card was dying, and couldn't work under full load anymore. Their card was a Gigabyte RTX 2080 Super. Hope I can help!

Have you checked the basics, like if the game is running in fullscreen, if any overlays like Xbox game bar is causing the issue, maybe a graphics card update, etc. ?

I can understand your point of view for a normal company/business, as most do not like covering costs when they don't need to, but we have heard LMG have some pretty awesome benefits like a phone plan, and more I cannot think of at the moment so it is a chance. I do agree though that if they do have access, it's likely limited to the category they work in, for example the Floatplane team likely have access to any accounts needed, and the LTT side of things may have access to the LTT channels.

If I'm not mistaken, Motherboards have more than one USB header. If this isn't something suggested in your other thread(s), try using an alternative USB header. Before doing that, see if there's any obvious damage on the cable or the header, check for missing pins.

While eating popcorn & enjoying the fire FP content being posted today (hmm, I wonder why...), I had a random thought. Do you think people that work for LMG/LTT get access to Floatplane as a benefit? If so, would it be used? Again, random thought so it's not meant to be taken serious, but I am curious what you think - should it be if it's not, and if you were apart of LMG, would you find it silly or neat?

So the gist of the resolution is its made for games that have crappy Anti Aliasing, should you use that and the custom resolution?
