Hey everyone, I'm looking for a new laptop for some light gaming and video editing. It should be quite easy to transport as I travel a lot, so I'd like it to be not too heavy. I'd also prefer a more "elegant" laptop, rather than a classic gaming laptop with a very flashy keyboard and colour...

As the title implies - I'm trying to upgrade my PC to play with moderate to high graphics while recording video / continuing editing on the side. My current PC is not too bad, just becoming a bit dated and bloated. I'm not against recycling any decent parts, but I am certainly trying to make...

Greetings! I am not posting this thread just to ask if it's worth it to just go with an APU instead of a dedicated GPU, which the obvious answer will be no. It's better off to buy a dedicated GPU and a better CPU, anyways, my main question is, will an APU and GPU work together in real world...

Hey guys! I’m in the market for a new gaming monitor. I also edit films so that could be a factor in this comparison. I’ve found that these two seem to be the best IPS gaming panels for 1440p out there right now, as far as features and specs go. Which should I go with?

I wanted to save some money on my new PC. My friend and I have been tweaking this list for 5 months now, preparing. If there’s anything different you’d do, please let me know. Feedback would be great! The PC will be used for gaming in 1080p 144hz (GTA V, Minecraft, Warzone, Roblox), streaming...

Looking for a secondary laptop to do some work when I need to. I have a desktop which does most of my intense work but I have little knowledge on the Ryzen front, is this processor suitable for editing?

My dear Grandad has offered to get me a professional laptop with some power behind it (I'm a student). I've been looking around and I wonder if I should opt for more powerful processors or more ram. I of course wont get an unsuitable processor, it's more of a tear between Ryzen 7 3700u or an I7...

I've tried 4 different "free" editing software, but all of them have some annoying paywall. Filmora adds a watermark on exported files, which takes up like almost half the screen. Lighhtworks limits the resolution to 720p Davinci Resolve has some super weird thing where it'll only accept MP4s...

Hello I have a question before buying an External USB Hard Drive, that editing a file (i.e Document, Image etc) directly from USB connected External Hard Drive does creates any error or corrupt files.

I occasionally do some light gaming on my rig but it's mostly used for 4K video editing and photo editing. I don't use any Adobe software because of their ridiculous costs. I use Gimp 2.10 for photo editing and Shotcut for video. My i3 8100 seems to be falling behind when rendering 4K video...

I have been asked by a client to edit 26TB worth of footage into a feature film (not uncommon size). The footage is RAW files, which is why it's so large. This presents a storage AND editing problem: I need to store 26TB worth of footage, but ALSO access it. I don't need to play it back...
