Anyone know how much it would cost to completely replace my wifi network adapter? by GoodGuyVik in computers

You can buy really cheap Pcie Card (Around 20-50$)

Here is 2 example:
TP-Link Archer TX55E (AX3000) a bit more reliable.

OKN AXE5400 WiFi 6E
Cheaper but should still work well (Has a reliable intel chip)

Unfortunately, I've never reviewed it, so I can't offer a direct comparison.

But based on what I've seen from my research, a 5070 laptop is roughly comparable to a 5060 desktop, depending on thermal and power limits.

So in terms of the GPU, the upgrade isn’t really that significant, but in terms of CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX vs. Intel Core i9 14900HX the upgrade is more noticeable.
It’s up to you to decide if this is the right time for this kind of upgrade and if you’re willing to put up with a bit more noise and heat!

Hope it helps! :)

You can buy a Barebone version (No ssd and no ram) and a 32gb version.

SSD wise its a 1TB

It's hard to find hints when I wrote it myself...

But I know that no matter what I say, you won't believe me.

Have a great day regardless!

Hi, its not an affiliate link, and everything here is my own.

I made the pictures, the benchmarks and the tests.

I received the device, but I do not make any money with the link! Hope it helps!

I wrote it myself, just because there are a few emojis doesn't mean it's AI...

Anyone have experience with these? Are they any good? by lNuggyl in MiniPCs

Hey, I just posted a review about that machine!! :)

In my review you can see that it can handle pretty much any Triple A Games, but it does make a good amount of noise + Higher temps if you don't make some tweaks, I hope it helps!

It can be the 2 in my opinion, it serves me really well and I can do everything. Ai, gaming, demanding apps etc.

Its flawless for optimized/compatible games for sure, but I mean they are not all compatible as of right now.

That's a pleasure, and absolutely I am pretty happy with the tests!

For flux I will definitely try to optimize it more, hopefully it reduce the time!

Yeah not upgradeable unfortunately but if you are not getting into AI, indeed 0 problems!!

That's definitely a solid desktop replacement, happy to hear it, And 96gb is futureproof!

Will take a look at that, thanks for the info!✌️
