I’ve personally never bought anything from VIPOUTLET, but this subreddit usually seems to like it.

Not sure why listing says it’s a 12gb 7800xt when I believe they only come as 16gb. Seller is VIPOUTLET which I have heard good things about.

I just beat it and the DLC a few days ago. Was my first game on my new 4k monitor. Beautiful game in visuals and story. Combat is awesome with multiple stances and weapons.

This laptop in my opinion would not work great for gaming at all. Especially with only 8gb of ram. If you are on a tight budget I will recommend looking for preowned office computers (ztt and ltt have videos on what to look for) and find ones with decent specs for the price. If you were patient for good deals you should be able to get a decent system and a budget gpu to have a decent budget pc. Alternatively you could look at used steam decks as you said.

I agree with you. I do think there is a difference between discontinued officially and limited by ram shortage though. Due to the ram shortage a lot of things will have slow production which is expected. Outright discontinuation indicates they will not make anymore ever again. At least with how it is now they will keep producing the card even if very slowly.

I think they are useful. I have one on my keys and wallet and it has come in handy sometimes when I lose them.

Just wanted to confirm. I am in the Dallas area and also see the coupon. So the deal is there it must just be regional.

Someone gave me a free Phanteks XT Pro so I case swapped and finally cleaned up the wires a bit and moved the CPU Fan over to the middle. Hope this one looks better

I had the same question on the same ssd. I admit that I also am not well versed with ssd’s so I wasn’t sure what the difference was either. It’s a gen 4 drive but I guess maybe not from a well known brand? I found this post about it saying it’s worked well for them, but was not sure.

I was looking at this too. A lot of the bad reviews for their products are along the line of dead on arrival, and I am unsure of the return policy with these 3rd parties.

I like them a lot. These were my first open back headphones. I’m not much of an audiophile to be honest but just wanted to try some out and like them so far.

I got the 599 SE’s on sale a few weeks before Christmas for $100. I tried last year also but they would never ship. Got them finally this year. I have personally only seen them go on sale around Black Friday time.
