I have the 8845HS version and it gets about 5-6 hours with general usage, 100% screen brightness, performance mode. In silent mode you…

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…

Even better grab a 2nd hand GPU like the 5700 XT for $200~ which will outperform the 6600.

Check your motherboard page and download/update the BIOS. If you bought the motherboard back when the 2600 came out then it definitely…

5950X literally sips power compared to Intel.

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…

Yuri Lowell replied to IgorPrev on AMD Ryzen 9 5950X CPU $559.69 Delivered @ Amazon DE via AU
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…

Is one of your monitors high refresh and free sync? Possibly disabling free sync may help. It can force AMD hardware to run at high clocks…

The 8645HS has the 760M. I'm using the 8845HS and it says 780M.

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.

It won't have any problem running Terraria even at 2880x1800. The 8845HS version has a 780M which is the most powerful integrated graphics…

It still boots faster than my dedicated computer monitor even without the LGTV companion.
