There are lots of deals this week in the tech world that are outside of the world of PC hardware, and not on Amazon or Newegg. As a case-in-point, in this article, I’ll be highlighting a few promising TV discounts from Best Buy.
The guiding principle I’ve used in selecting these three options is to get a 55″ 4K LCD TV that is well-reviewed (referencing reviews from RTINGS). 55″ is a solid balanced size for many living rooms—large enough to take advantage of the resolution, but not obscenely huge.
Below the list, I’ll go into detail on a few of the important aspects and features to be aware of.
Newegg’s 2020 Black Friday Week sales!These are Logical Increments’ picks for the best Black Friday Week 2020 deals from Newegg.
The year 2020 has been very turbulent, and many people are working from home these days. For those of us wanting to upgrade our PCs (or buy completely new ones), Black Friday and Cyber Monday represent the best times to get the best deals on PC hardware. What does 2020 bring? Let’s take a look!
Please note: Some of the best deals are dependent on rebates. Such rebates are reliable, butonlyif you follow the instructionsexactlyand submit everythingon time, so better be careful!
Prices for various PC parts often have a huge range, depending on items quality, performance, and availability. Some CPUs are $100, some are $1000, and some cannot be bought for love or money. Some other items have a much smaller range of prices, and this can be seen when we look at PC memory and storage (including RAM and hard drives). Memory and storage are offered by a large number of sellers, and thus the options are competitively priced. Most options that are similar in speed and capacity tend to be close to each other in price, making it easy to track and compare.
With time, long-term and short-term computer memory always sees a downward trend in price, with the only exception being when a factory is burned or flooded or something. Once certain items (or capacities) can be reliably found for a particular price, we overhaul our memory recommendations to recommend better/larger components, for the same price.
Along those lines, let us take a look at some recently changed recommendations:
AMD makes both CPUs and GPUs. We have followed AMD’s CPU journey, from competitive, to underdog, and back to competitive. Now, with the launch of the RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT, it looks like AMD wants to get back to being competitive with GPUs as well.
Otherwise known as ‘the unofficial RTX 3090 hype build,’ in this guide we take a look at what is needed to achieve 8K gaming in today’s market.
With Black Friday 2020 deals on the horizon, we take a look at how to find the best deals on hardware online in Covid times. With new and previous-generation hardware likely up for grabs, now is the time to prepare your buying plans.
AMD and Intel have been the desktop CPU duopolyfor as long as we can remember, with the mantle of “best CPU manufacturer” having been worn by both. From about 2005 to 2017, Intel was king. AMD’s Ryzen series began stealing the multi-threaded marketshare with the launch of a large number of high-core-count CPUs at a moderate price. These CPUs did not make AMD the “best CPU manufacturer” though, since single-threaded performance was still behind.
Numerically, 2017 was 3 years ago, but the numbers do not match the emotion: 2017 feels like it was in the Dark Ages. Many centuries have passed since the year 2017, and AMD has been improving. With each revision to the Ryzen family, AMD’s multi-threaded superiority was extended, and Intel’s single-threaded lead was diminished.
With Intel stubbornly refusing to abandon the 14nm process that has been (reportedly) in use since the times of Genghis Khan, this day had to come. Intel’s single-threaded dominance is over, for no king can rule forever.
With there being little end in sight for folks working at home with the ongoing pandemic, we figured we could compile a quick guide to the hardware side of video conferencing and virtual meetings. We’ll be covering a couple of simplewebcamandmicrophonechoices, and then digging deep intolightingandbackdrop/background.
For those of you stuck at home or those of you anticipating having (or wanting) to continue working from home long into the coming months, we hope that this will be a useful tool for having the best set-up possible!
Over the years, nVidia has gotten better and better at GPU launches. Each new card performs well, runs cool and quiet, and is better than what it replaces… and no exceptions to this come readily to mind.
nVidia’s sole (and rare) issue with modern launches is the pricing, which can sometimes feel like highway robbery:$1800 for a graphics card?也希望我的长子,英伟达?或just an arm and a leg?
This year, though, it is a bit different.
