I'm an attorney, so the only things I would really need to do on the go would be take notes and be able to access them, maybe once and a while edit documents. Any major work would be done at my desk (though that is mostly research and drafting with meetings and whatnot, nothing too intensive.) Also thinking about a 2 in 1. My current yoga is technically a 2 in 1 but I rarely actually use it as a tablet because i don't find having a keyboard as the back very comfortable. I had a Surface Pro years ago and liked it. Thinking about maybe a surface pro 7. What are everyone's thoughts on going 2 in 1 over a laptop?

yeah, that's what I was thinking. To be clear, as it seems my initial wording was a bit confusing, the iPad wouldn't be a computer replacement but simply a companion device as a way to access files, take notes, etc. when away from my desktops. I would still have a PC at the office and home that would be my actual workstations.

Hi guys, so have a question about what to do for a work computer. I'm currently using my personal laptop, which is a fairly old lenovo yoga 700 that seems to run fine, but is certainly showing its age (few scratches on screen, scratches on body, stuck volume button on side). I was told today that my work wants to get me a new computer. I do need to be able to have access to my files outside of the office as well. So my question is whether I should get a nice new laptop, or build a nice desktop for a bit cheaper and get a nice tablet, like a iPad soon as a companion. I just built a gaming PC that stays at home, so I'm not worried about this machine being able to run games or anything, it'll be strictly for work, which is mainly office tasks and online research. Just wanted to put some feelers out and see what everyone thinks between these options.

Hey guys looking to build my first PC and trying to do so in a very budget friendly and came across a guy on FB selling a used MSI B450 Tomahawk for $60. Messaged him and got he said it's in great condition he is just swapping over to a new ASUS board because its got more SATA ports. He doesn't have the original box or anything, but he does have the board and I/O shield. Is this worth it or should I go with a new board and get a b550 or something?

Yeah, I've heard mixed reviews on the airflow with this case, but dang it looks so clean imo. Would the airflow issues be a problem given this is a pretty basic system? Hmm, that sounds like an intriguing idea, but may be a bit more trouble than I can handle since I'm so new at all this. I will likely be waiting at least a month to actually buy, so the market will likely be very different with the gen 4 out so may have more thinking to do with that happens.

I would immediately only care only about basic esports type gaming, but would like to eventually play AAA games. Would a 3400g be a good CPU to eventually upgrade with a fairly good discrete graphics card in a year or so? or would I find myself having to upgrade both my cpu and gpu?

Budget (including currency): sub 500 us dollars Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: gaming and basic office work Hi guys, looking to build my first pc and am wanting to keep it in a tight budget so my current build includes a Ryzen 5 3400g because I can keep it under 500 while still keeping most games playable with decent fps without the cost of a discrete gpu. I've been wanting to build a new PC for a while to make to move to PC gaming from console and I'm starting a new job soon so it seemed like a good time to finally do it. My plan right now is to build a rig with a 3400g and upgrade with a fairly good graphics card a bit down the line. Is this a good plan or is it worth it to save up the extra ~200 dollars to go with a 3600 and a budget graphics card like a rx 570 or 580? I also know that the 4th gen ryzen chips are supposed to come out in a month, should that have any bearing on my decision here?
