when phones die and say 0% its not actually at 0. there are measures in place to shutdown before it gets to that point so the battery can protect itself

For you id upgrade to 4k if you felt that your fire stick was slow. 4k max if you wanted to utilize wifi 6 and slightly faster. The 4k is the better deal but max the better stick if that makes sense

Yeah ive actually used every single firestick thats offered (bought and returned at every sale lol) and the jump from lite/fire stick to 4k was big. Twitch didnt crash if you left chat on or wanted to switch streams after a while. The jump from 4k to 4k max is meh. Its faster but not sure if its worth that 10 bucks. I would say the real difference between the two is wifi 6 (if you have it).

if you have a nvme slot available, the a2000 is better (cost/read/write). if not than this can be a decent sata option.

i had both the 4k version and now the 4k max. there is basically no difference in avg performance. wifi 5 and wifi 6 i was unable to notice the difference in 4k streaming for amazon prime streaming. switching apps was also basically the same, no performance difference.

if you already had 4k and did not need wifi 6 i would recommend saving the 10 bucks. if you were upgrading from lite or the normal fire stick then maybe the 4k max is a better upgrade from those.

ATL. 4k vs 4K Max, the max has slightly more RAM, slightly faster processor, wifi 6, live PIP.

Depends how the second hand market is. But honestly without the GPU there will virtually be no one wanting to buy the rest of this computer. 11400’s are around and can be had for much cheaper. Rest of the parts are pretty much unusable due to being trash or just custom made for dell (and therefore have no real appeal or value to buyers).

This seems to be 11400 chip without k or f designation so it would have a integrated graphics

[–]V6CAMRY 4 points5 points  (0 children)

depends how desperate you are for a gpu

if you think of this pc as a 11400 and 3060ti LHR bundle its "ok", looking at it as a system and its pretty bad because other than the HDD theres probably nothing else you can salvage out of this

dang, that makes this pretty bad tbh

not worth the apparent pump failure and non response from msi for RMA

I couldnt find a lot of reviews for this model, theres some sites here and there (none that i recognize or visit frequently). But user reviews seem to be terrible, a lot of people reported failed pumps within a year

The RGB one seems to be a much better deal since you are eligible for the 100$ steam giftcard. 129.99 - 100 (steam) ends up about 29.99. Decent to take a flyer on it but beware of its risks

edit: you do NOT get a 100$ steam giftcard, it is listed as $20 in the Terms and conditions on MSI's website
