Xbox 360?

Well no. Cheap has never been the goal. And honestly I've touched cheap laptops and will be happy if I never have to again. The main goal of Framework has always been about repair-ability. And they have done so much more than any other manufacturer. And honestly, for a decent laptop that doesn't...

I think the price for the steam deck is incorrect, at least aside from the 64GB. Should be 256GB at $529 and 512GB at $649. Other than that nice comparison. The tie makes sense

Apple doesn't view their machines as gaming machines. They view them as machines to make creative content, which I don't think they view gaming completely as. A clear example in my eyes is the lack of Vulkan support. Also no indication has been given towards any GPU drivers for Apple Silicon...

That's what we call a happy little accident :tearsofjoy:

CPU: I would say if you can fit the i45 in your budget, go for the i5. I would rather have more power than I need than to need more power than I have. I also think that while you're only doing light gaming, the i5 will be better for that than the i3. Though I would not rely on the...

Valve works on Valve Time. If they are working on something, unless you're really willing to wait, I'd say don't worry about an Index 2 yet. Vive Pro series never made sense to me but to be fair I've only ever been an OG Vive user. My think with the Reverb is it seems like buying a lot of...

Did...did you just call the Index old for its age??? Man I must be way out of the VR game if the Index is old for its age! For the Reverb v1 vs v2 I feel like this would be the best showcase, as the pictures probably help more than explaining it I',m not sure I've ever heard a good review...

Glad that helped!!

Uh I think you plugged in the RGB cables but aren't actually providing power to the fans. I don't blame you that manual is terrible. The who knows what look like SATA connectors so ideally you're PSU should have some SATA power cables and you would just connect those up and that should get them...

Almost sounds like the ram might be bad? If you have another computer to test it with we could confirm but since we know the old ones work and the new ones have only generated a black screen no matter the configuration, I'd be inclined to blame the new ones Also try just one of the new sticks...

For the 2 new and 2 old, the same result is it booted or it did not boot? I'd also be curious if the 2X2GB were put into slot 1 and slot 3 what would happen

Usually that startup menu would have some way of booting into something aside from the hard drive. Getting a known working drive would be another way of testing

No I meant AM3. This was quite some time ago so again I would not use it as proof of MSI's quality

Hm. First instinct says might be the hard drive. You would need another computer in order to try to check it. Alternatively, if you feel comfortable trying it and setting it up, you could make a USB stick with Linux (Maybe Linux Mint) to at least see if you can get the computer's hard drive to...
