Computer Systems

So my son needs a Chromebook for high school. Apparently the one the school gives is lacking battery life and performance.  He is allowed to bring his own, but it must be a Chromebook. I have very little knowledge when it comes to these things so any help is much appreciated. 

Hey! I'm looking for a new gaming laptop. Something with a 5070 or 5080. My old windows 10 with a 3080 finally bit the dust.

I'm looking for a good mini desktop PC. Something small that wont take up a ton of space. I do a lot of Excel and email. So I don't think it needs to be super powerful. General web browsing too. No youtube or streaming. Just something I can do my work on.

Figured I'd give this site a shot. I need a new PC for drafting and CAD work. It needs to most importantly have a lot of hard drive space and have ECC ram. Price is of no concern.

Hi all! So I'm an amateur photographer who's been starting to take some paid jobs and I need a good computer that runs Photoshop and messaging and all that good stuff! I need something to essentially replace my aging MacBook Air. I don't need a monitor as I have good one that I used with my MacBook Air. Just FYI. Thanks!

Hey all,I’ve been working on this parts list and I think I’m close to ordering. Budget is ~$1,200, mainly for 1440p gaming (Starfield, Cyberpunk, Baldur’s Gate 3). Here’s my list:

I’m trying to put together a PC in the $600–$800 range that can handle:1080p gaming at stable FPS (titles like Apex, Valorant, Fortnite)Occasional streaming (Twitch/YouTube)Some light graphic design work (Photoshop, Illustrator)I’d prefer something with an upgrade path (so I can swap in a stronger GPU later). No strong preference between Intel or AMD, just looking for best value in this price range. Could use advice on CPU/GPU pairing, PSU size, and whether I should go SSD-only or SSD+HDD.Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,I’ve already locked in my CPU (Ryzen 7 7700X) and Case (Fractal Meshify 2 Compact), but I need help with the rest of the build. My goals are for gaming at 1440p, and occasional productivity (photo editing, light video work).I need help picking GPU (thinking RX 7800 XT or RTX 4070 Super), motherboard (B650 or X670 with Wi-Fi), RAM (32GB DDR5, good speed but affordable), PSU (reliable, quiet, Gold-rated), and storage (likely 1–2TB NVMe SSD).I’d love suggestions to fill out this build while keeping things balanced and future-ready.

I’ve drafted a build for gaming (1440p) and light streaming/editing, and I want to make sure everything looks solid before I order. My budget was around $1500.Here’s the list:
