    I think Hardware Unboxed recently released a video on how much RAM one needs and 16GB was still about to tough it through most modern games. Unfortunately, that 8GB of VRAM for that 5070 is where it's gonna hurt.

    Hmm... I kinda like young Trion with his fellow Primes, since in the "present" one's dead and most of the others went off to parts unknown, never to be seen again. But I'm sorely tempted to buy a second copy of the toy to stick that DNA kit on.

    That's a good price for that G14 (especially because, at least with the previous generation, the GPU is so thermally throttled), but 16GB of RAM doesn't seem like enough for gaming anymore. Heck, a part of me wishes I'd have thought to upgrade the RAM in my desktop before the prices started skyrocketing. In any case, I went for the G14 with 32GB of RAM and the RTX 5070. That keeps performance similar with similar settings on both my laptop and my desktop (desktop has a 5080, but it has to drive a 32:9 Samsung G9 OLED with almost twice the pixels).

    He's got some of the ol' Kirk DNA in him, with a voice that slips right past input validation and into infinite loops. As always, I thank you for hate-watching this so I don't have to.

    i saw a review comparison of the g14 and it's definitely a superior laptop in every way than the helios. especially the audio. The helios seems like a good value based on the price per performance ratio. But the g14 if price is not an issue is a premium laptop. btw, bestbuy is having another of those amazing open box deals that started today on the g14: ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (Open-Boxes): 14" OLED 3K 120Hz, Ryzen 9 270, RTX 5060, 16GB LPDDR5X, 1TB SSD $929.99 the G14 at this price point is definitely an amazing deal. Best Buy open boxes are some of the best deals around since you can pick the condition you want or return it if it's not your liking. They also have an amazing open box deal on a 5080 laptop that started today: HP OMEN MAX (Open-Boxes): 16" QHD+ 240Hz OLED, Intel Ultra 9 275HX, RTX 5080, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD $1619.99 if i didn't get this helios for dirt cheap, i would be all over the open box G14 or save a little for the OMEN (though HP has some issues.)

    Had a feeling these would be coming since there already Thundercats and Silverhawks.

    I'm confused how tariffs would only add $3 to the price. I thought current tariff from China was somewhere around 45%. I'm hoping to pick up Max tomorrow.

    I was thinking of picking up Alpha Trion just for this upgrade kit. That new beard looks really good.

    Thank you. It’s a great looking kit and should run you $20-30. Just a few seam pitfalls to look out for and I find the Has decals to be challenging. But definitely one of my favourite designs!

    It’s definitely an overrated show, but still likeable if you can get past the first couple terrible episodes in each season.

    Looking sweet !

    My take on Filoni is that he is good when it comes to animated series, much less so with live-action. I really like Clone Wars, Rebels and Bad Batch. Of the live action series, I only really enjoyed The Mandalorian season 1 and to a certain extent Skeleton Crew. I know a lot of people love Andor, but I just couldn't finish it. I tried to get through season 1, 3 times, but kept falling asleep on I think episode 5 or 6. 😅 Haven't tried watching season 2 yet. Dreck like The Acolyte, Ahsoka, Obi Wan and The Book of Boba Fett have done a great job of turning me off a franchise I've loved since the 70s.😓

    More ideas for Wraithverge...

    Some decal work.

    That has disaster written all over it. It was bad enough when the Bob Iger DID quit (kinda)...

    No tracking yet, but I did get a note from BBTS that my Miriya should ship soon. I will definitely give them credit for working to honor their original prices as much as possible, they said the tariff change would basically be adding $3.00 to my price, which I have no trouble with. I was expecting it to be far more than that.

    You had me curious, @davidwhangchoi. I do the vast majority of my computing on my desktop. In fact, I could have got a much more powerful laptop for less money than the G14, but the G14 is one of the most actually portable gaming laptops on the market and I need my laptop to fit in a bag I can comfortably carry from Pittsburgh all the way to my in-laws' place in Beijing. So, like Az, I tend to use headphones with it (even though I'm fine using my ancient Logitech 5.1 setup on my desktop). Anyway, not a professional test with an LLT labs-style graph or anything, but I played some music on it. Overall, I'd say the speaker built-in are pretty good! It gets pretty loud, the bass is a tad heavy but not muddy, the highs are clear, but the mids are a little thin. If I weren't so lazy I'd dig out my Macbook Air and do an A-B test before confidently stating that Apple still has the best laptop speakers, but the G14 still destroys the crappy speakers in my wife's laptop, or the built-in speakers on my ROG Ally X.
