    What's your budget? I saw this list. From a YouTuber just josh. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1pGJndsZoy_0bjV4oFHUWUPK7LwEoHEv17pRkGoDjiF4/htmlview Used some of his vids to picked up my work laptop. Zenbook 14x

    Hello all. Have any of you used either or both of these. Would you recommend? Or something else? I'm leaning more towards the Asus since it's under 1k. Would seem to fit what I need and from what I saw it is well built. The acer one seems good too cause I could potentially do some light gaming. Meaning I probably wouldn't game too much on it. But the power might be good too. I Had posted before about recommendations on a laptop that would be somewhat compatible to MacBook air M1 in terms of build and screen quality. Keyboard, trackpad and snappiness. Since I laptop for work and school. Mostly data stuff. Like excel, sql, power bi. Thanks everyone for any input. Acer x 14 ASUS X14

    Thanks. Lots to look at. Yeah definitely know I won't be getting something comparable to the M1 price. I'm ok going more. Just don't need too much computer you know? Literally could use my phone but I like a nice keyboard and trackpad when working.
  4. JimmyConrad
    Well there's quite a few that use option, fn, ctrl in combo vs just alt. But I mean more because at work we use PC and at home I have a PC I just need something mobile right now.

    Hello all, Have not shopped for a Laptop for a long time. I have no clue anymore what chips are good and what brands are top in qualify. Last I remember the XPS13 was top notch. But anyway. I need a laptop. I was thinking of just getting a MacBook Air M1 at Costco for $799.99. (Since that's what I recommend my family when they ask lol) But don't feel like learning excel and productivity shortcuts again. Could I ask this forum for recommendations at a sub $1,000 that will compare to the Air M1? Looking for a snappy pc, mostly doing data analysis. Excel. Not looking to game on it. Also want the keyboard to be great. Same for track pad. Hopefully build quality is good too. Lots to ask. Maybe not possible on a the windows platform. Edit: what would be something comparable not necessarily at the $800 could be more. Thanks.

    These A50s have been working well for 9 years already, but now the battery is going out and I am looking to get some new headphones. I have no clue what's good out there. Hoping someone out there has similar needs and would give me a recommendation. My wife has the Sony wh-1000xm4 and I like that quick pickup and its working. (of course the noise canceling is cool but not needed) I like to play single player games so I need them for more cinematic games or for movies and music. So far the only ones I see look nice are the SteelSeries Arctis 7+. Thoughts?

    Gotcha thanks, I will use the extra wireless keyboard and mouse I have, and hide it away when not need it. Will look at KVM when I have extra cash.

    Does it work with just one monitor? I saw on linus video he used one but it was a quad video feed, sitll gonna give it a try the kvm are expensive for a temp necessity
  9. JimmyConrad
    Hey guys, I have two windows 10 PCs use them for editing, but cause of space constrains only have one Ultra Wide Monitor. Any software or switch solutions for this? I was thinking about synergy the one that Linus promoted, does that work well?

    while i continue editing

    Yeah I have a 60gb ssd scratch disk, this stuff was bought a while ago, now the wait times are bottle necking my productivity, cant be waiting 8 hrs for all the footage to convert to dnxhd. Plus we are thinking of offering 4K soon. So from what I searched Nvme can help, I just dont know what order to use it as, OS, programs etc, or converting disk, temp file storage?
  13. JimmyConrad
    One of the things that lags me so hard is converting h264 from cameras to dnxhd for editing, then rendering, and of course the exports to mpeg bluray and h264. I'm going to get a 1tb ssd and a 500gb nvme m.2. But I don't know how to place them, should I do 1 tb for the files and the nvme for os, programs, transcoding? Right now in my system I use an SSD for OS, programs etc. And a SSHD for converting, Premiere Files, media storage for the project. Once I am done with the project I back it up on a few large HDDs, What you guys think?

    Have you tried using pc part picker? If you input the things you want you will even get a compatibility check. Also what I do sometimes is i go to a builder like maingear and put my budget and see what parts they picked then see if i can get them cheaper. at pcpartpicker they also have guides all you do is put your budget and take a look. such as this one its amd 1000 but after tax and shipping you probably be at 1200 maybe not maybe less https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/X77Ycf/great-amd-gamingstreaming-build
