Uni Build & Laptop

[Hydro03]

Budget (including currency): £2000

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Well ideally i want a PC for my uni room then a mac M1 air for my uni work.

Other details This is the list i was thinking of using: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/PWhhbh Main reason im swapping is because i already have a lot of the stuff for a desktop mouse keyboard monitor etc and I prefer gaming on a Desktop rather than a laptop but at the same time i had a mac air when they came out last year and really liked it just want to see other peoples opinions of this build and any improvements etc.

Quick sidenote i was looking at either going through apples cleareance site where you can pick one up base model for £849 or amazon when i can pick a used one for £800

Would prefer 5600x + b550 motherboard, for games the 5600x is faster than 3800x most of the time.

 

Power supply model isnt good

At least get a tier B option.

So something more like this?

In your post, are you saying you bought a mac air and it crapped out recently, or you don't have one anymore?

Oh no sorry so i need a laptop for uni for lectures maybe some video rendering etc and i have seen a lot of reviews online about the M1 including linuses on the laptop ranking he did today. But i also want a desktop PC which i can play games at 1080 maybe some light 1440p
