The BIOS says there is a second drive but I've not opened mine (8845HS version).

Definitely improved my temps by quite a bit upgrading from an NH-D14. It was 14 years old though.

780M is so good that it makes the 3050 6GB look a bit redundant. Dedicated VRAM is nice though.

I mean it's just a drop in upgrade (maybe a BIOS update) and you're getting a huge increase to gaming performance, much better single core…

5950X literally sips power compared to Intel.
![](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/g/38.jpg)
The average doesn't tell the whole story. The 5800X3D can be +20% faster in some games. 5950X is a decent gaming CPU though, Zen 3 saw…

5950X has 16 cores and 32 threads. Absolutely demolishes the 12600KF in multi core.

Don't compromise on the screen. $200 well and truly justifies the OLED screen but you can probably get cheaper alternatives which still…

With the 780M being fairly close to a 3050 in performance, it's a pretty pointless combo. Only advantage is dedicated GDDR6 and CUDA (and…

50% is the best case scenario too. Commonly only 10-20% faster which at 30-40fps is almost indistinguishable.
