Posted September 8, 2017 Not intentionally but I suppose so. I have a laptop that's just as capable as my main rig for the vast majority of things minus gaming, and a raspberry pi for basic tasks if need be. Solve your own audio issues | First Steps with RPi 3 | Humidity & Condensation | Sleep & Hibernation | Overclocking RAM | Making Backups | Displays | 4K / 8K / 16K / etc. | Do I need 80+ Platinum? If you can read this you're using the wrong theme. You can change it at the bottom.
