    Question Keychron keyboard recommendation ?

    I've been using a windows Microsoft 600 keyboard for many years now, but I wanna give mechanical ones a try. There is a sale where I live for the Keychron V6 at 84 USD (converted). But I have also been looking at the Keychron K5 Pro at 174 USD (converted). Thing is, the V6 is a bit taller than...

    Question Tablet suitable for reading books ?

    Hmm, only issue is that I want to buy from a webstore/store inside of my country. And the closest I can think of then is the Onyx e-readers. Which I've heard various negative things about, particularly that the screen gets damaged fast. So I've sort of setteled for looking for a regular tablet...

    Question Tablet suitable for reading books ?

    I'm going to buy an android tablet to read books on. And I was wondering if the Lenovo TAB M9 (64GB) is more than enough for this purpose? Its currently on sale for 114 USD. I feel that its size would be perfect for reading and there aren't many other options for tablets of that size over here...

    Question HDD storage options

    I'm in the process of buying an external HDD for storage and I've cut it down to either a WD my passport V3 or a Lacie rugged USB-C 2TB. They are priced almost the same, with the Lacie costing only a bit more. But I'm skeptical about Lacie due to the fact that I've read that they use different...

    [SOLVED] best 144hz budget monitor for gaming

    The downside of not having used any of them is that I have to base what I say on reviews, information and spec sheets. Basically from my understanding the G241 and G242 are more or less the same. Some differencens on the SRGB and such, but I'm confident that you wont notice a 1% difference. And...

As far as 24 inch monitors goes. And I dont know if you've heard but the AOC 24g2 got its...

    Good to know, then I've learned something more about the subject myself. And I couldn't agree more on your last point.

    [SOLVED] RTX 3070 - A bad purchase?

    If you only plan to stick to 1080p I'd argue that you're pretty safe. Of course nobody can predict what that happens the next 4-5 years. But like others have pointed out you can always tweak the settings as needed. I'm a 1080p guy myself, and my last computer used a gtx 970 for around 6 years...

    [SOLVED] Second-guessing my PSU choice

    Then it sounds like that 750w wont be a problem for the 5900x either. Considering the case with the I9 as you mention. Thank you so much for the answer, then I know that I can build the rig without any worries.

    [SOLVED] Studio type headphones for gaming and music

    I haven't thought about the AKG 361 and 371. You wouldn't happen to know how the QC is for those? Since the way the cups are attached concerns me. Since based on what I have read they can get loose over time.

    [SOLVED] External hard drive for moving files and storage, SSD or HDD?

    And that answer shows how little experience I have with moving files. Since it did not cross my mind. A simple straight to the point solution. Might still get an external HDD as a failsafe storage solution. But no need to be in a hurry then. Thank you very much! 🙂

    [SOLVED] Studio type headphones for gaming and music

    Thank you for the suggestion, I've heard about them in some other circles. But they are sold out in my country. And they cost 350 USD over here. Perhaps due to their quality. :tonguewink:

    [SOLVED] Hey, I'm on a *very* tight budget, but I need some help.

    I dont have the exact Kingston SSD that you are referring to here. But I'm using an older 120GB SSD from them and I have nothing but praise for their SSD's based on my own experience. Cant say that I have experienced any drop in performance or failure over the years. However I use it as a boot...
