$50 mechanical keyboard. It's refurbished, but might be worth the risk.

Man this is getting good!

My work has recently updated so that we can use our in house database on MacOS. I can use my Mac Mini, while I sell off my i5 and MOBO, to try and shift over to Ryzen.

Waiting on benchmarks and also waiting on price drops from intel

Currently have a MBA from 2011 and it's time for me to upgrade. I'm thinking of grabbing a windows OS this time around and I am looking at the surface pro4 i5 version.
Can anyone offer suggestions? Budget is around 1k and want a something similar in build to the MBA I currently have. Don't really use my laptop for anything intensive, only use it for web surfing and downloading music.

I agree with this. Also look at the HP Spectre I believe is the name. You can also get one of the lower specc'd Surface Books for that much. IMO I would go XPS or Surface Book. I've had a XPS15 for 3 years now. Its been great.

Do dells and Hps come with a bunch of bloat ware?

 

[3am scholar]

Windows 10 comes with a ton of crapware. You can run a few commands through powershell to get rid of them. You can find the full list online and how to remove. Many of the other stuff can be simply deleted.

Need that 1080ti. If I don't get a 2nd 1070 that's next on my list

 

[based mod]

Hopefully this means 1060 will fall in price. Or at least someone with a 1060 will upgrade and I can buy a used one for the low.

If vega's not trading blows with the ti, I'll have to consider copping an nvidia gpu
