  1. Just came here to say this. Hopefully they can work it out.
  2. A: financial incentives and current battery technology aren't limits, they are temporary limitations. There will be better battery tech and enthusiasts will still be fine pulling a ton of power from the wall. As I mentioned, the Dells and HPs will likely go in the lower power cost and higher battery cost category while enthusiast grade products will stay relatively higher power. A hard limit is something like an existential lack of resources. While I won't argue that the amount of R&D that goes into making a CPU or GPU is the same as that for high end headphones, I will that the amount of additional R&D required to create "enthusiast style" chips of the same architecture as the "general style" chips and that of headphones are comparable (by high end I don't mean Beat's, I refer to companies like Abyss). A company designing these chips would already have processor designs, they would simply need to create pins so they could be socketed (I'm obviously grossly under explaining the process).
  3. Full disclosure: I posted this on the YouTube comments as well but am curious as to y'all's opinions. This is the first time I've left a comment on one of your videos due to an unhappy emotion but felt a need to write my thoughts somewhere they could, ostensibly, be seen. While a shift from X86 is indeed inevitable I disagree with the notion proposed by the choice to compare an M1 Mac to a Custom PC, being that all computers will over time tend towards less serviceable, less upgrade-able, and nearly in-customizable due to the power consumption and efficiency differential between the two. For evidence, I present the audiophile and keyboard markets. While they have both been generally standardized they have actually become more customizable as a result of the extremely dedicated hobbyists who are willing to pay more for less efficient and yet more effective products. I foresee a similar future for the computer market; the HPs and Dells of the world will begin delivering more M1 Mac-like systems as their users expect and require a high amount of energy and space efficiency; the more enthusiast focused brands will likely transition to a model of less more gainful sales instead of the current more less gainful sales and still provide systems that allow their users high customization and higher energy bills. As an aside, I foresee the efficiency of materials as being of greater import than that of energy as the amount of useful energy in our reach dwarfs the amount of matter, especially that of any specific element, in our reach. I would also argue that over time the ability to swap out broken or outdated components is considerably more silicon efficient than the smaller system that will be ready for the trash chute as soon as any part breaks or becomes outdated.
  4. Thanks for the advice! I find that it's a Matrox M9140 LP PCIe x16. Seems like it's used to output to four DVI monitors at once. It also proprietary cable that you can only get from Matrox for $90 a pop... Hoping eBay can help me out here.
  5. I've been trying to get a old Dell precision T3500 into a working condition and it's got this strange port that I can't seem to find reference to. Any help identifying it would be appreciated.
  6. Thx man that actually looks freaking awesome!!!
  7. Even with a (relatively) thin and light? I'm not looking for the Alienware 51m
  8. I have 1500$ to spend on a gaming laptop that I would also like to use for college. I'm looking at the MSI GS65, Lenovo Legion Y540, and the Eluktronics MAG 15. Any suggestions?
