Hi everyone,
Towards the end of 2024 I posted about a laptop that I had ordered in PCS using the chassis, CPU, and graphic card available at that time. I am definitely not an expert, and was very happy with my choices (having picked top range items for everything), but thank to this community I have seen reason and understood that I was going to splash my savings for something that would have been born old and dangerously inefficient. I cancelled the order and following @SpyderTracks advice, I decided to wait for the new GPUs and CPUs (AMD's, specifically) to become available.
I had a look at what is in stock now. I understand that things are moving a bit slower than expected so, my first question is: do you think that this is the right time to invest on a great and durable gaming laptop, or would you advice to keep waiting for a bit?
If the latter, happy to wait. You guys gained my trust completely last November! If the former is true, though, this below is what I am thinking of. My ideal solution would be a gaming desktop replacement which could stay awesome and snappy as long as possible. Again, I do not know what I am doing, so do feel free to talk to me like you would do with a child who wants the most ridiculous toy at the shop.
