HP Pavilion laptop (don't remember the exact model) with 15.6 inch Full HD display

Processors: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx
Memory: 8GiB of RAM (though for some reason Windows and Arch only see 6)
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon™ Vega 8 Graphics
128GB SSD and 1TB HDD
Dual-boot Windows 10/Arch Linux
Windows is installed on the SSD while Arch is installed on the HDD

Also bought an SSD to replace the HDD (after noticing how fast the SSD that came with it is) but one of the screws for the mounting bracket for the HDD is stripped and I haven't gotten around to trying to get it out (this is a refurbished laptop so I guess someone else stripped the screw)

Only had it a month, to replace an old desktop that was taking 4 minutes to boot up.
Connected it to the monitor off the old pc to give me 2 screens as I mainly use it for trading forex and shares, so having a 2nd screen is quite handy - the adapter I  needed to connect it only cost £5, so it was a bit of a no-brainer really

Mine is a Dell Inspiron old but works, and who knows what's inside beside dusk bunnies.

[LandyVlad]

who knows what's inside beside dusk bunnies.

are those dust bunnies in the evening?

[Ronald]

are those dust bunnies in the evening?

I kick them out every so often.

[Skhilled]

You've reminded me that I need to do the same. LOL

[LandyVlad]

I asked this same question at work and someone said they just built an editing PC which they dropped $8K (AUD) on. He's 18 years old...

Just picked up an X570 mobo (to replace my B450) and an RTX3090 GPU 
The GPU is because I need HDMI 2.1 as I replaced my monitor with a LG C2 42" OLED TV.
It's brilliant!

A while back I also swapped the PC into a new (ATX) case and upgraded to PSU.

I'll update my full specs once these arrive and I get it sorted.

When I swap those in I will also take the opportunity to do a fresh windows install, and will use Win 11 because well, why not.
 

[Bigguy]

Sounds great man. Glad you were able to upgrade things. That 3090 should do great with gaming.

EDIT: Actually, my specs have updated since my last post as well. I'll post them soon. Nothing major though.

[LandyVlad]

I like to play PC Adventure games similar to Myst and Riven etc

You should play REAL adventure games from Infocom like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and especially Leather Goddesses of Phobos   

In 1988, Tom Clancy named Leather Goddesses of Phobos one of his favorite computer games, stating "I'd like to meet whoever wrote that. I just don't know what asylum to go to".

Having said that - anywhere I can get Myst and Riven for free?
