    I need to choose between M1 and i7 MacBook

    I'm in the market for a used MacBook and I'm torn between getting one with Apple's M1 chip and one with an Intel i7 processor. I've heard great things about both, but I'm not sure which one would be better for my needs. I’ve heard that the M1 chip offers amazing performance and battery life...

    Currently have Ryzen 3700X, Should I get Ryzen 7600 or 7600X?

    The title is pretty much my question. I have been using the 3700X for more than a year now. I have saved up enough to switch my platform. The main reason is that once I jump to AM5 I can enjoy future proofing. I have got it all noted down, gonna get an RTX 4060 as well. Just really confused...

    Why are Pentium CPUs no longer considered top-tier?

    Since AMD isn't launching 800 motherboards, what are my options?

    So, it looks like AMD isn't releasing the 800 series motherboards with the Ryzen 9000 launch. What are my best options here? Should I wait for the new boards or is there a good existing motherboard that will pair well with the Ryzen 7 9700X? Any suggestions or advice would be great!
