That doesn't make sense (if it is 6 hours later). I was on batch 3, that was basically 10 minutes after you. That batch has an official ETA...

Not really. You were on the launch day shipment pre-order batch (batch 1). A lot of people either didn't make it to that batch (batch 3),...

Unless you want at least 2 of the packs in the bundle, it is not really worth it.

Most people don't need either the CPU nor the motherboard. Problem is both are getting good reviews. However, for someone who really wants...

The way I see it, this is basically getting the motherboard at a pretty decent price. RRP for MSI X570 Tomahawk WiFi is too high for me....

The thing with NVMe is that to take advantage of sequential read/write, you need a source that's quick enough. That generally means, RAM,...

No. RM850x (2018) - no modern standby, but better components (in general) than RM850. RM850 - has modern standby and in some aspects...

No rmx line did not end in 2018. It is just that there is now a newer revision which supports modern standby. Generally rmx is better, but...

Depends on your usage. This isn't iPad Air 4 or iPad Pro. Clearly, people interested in this are after the cheapest iPad. With phones (even...

If GSMArena.com data is correct, USB-C/USB 2.0 port, you can forget about getting this to work with that phone.
