thank you very much, have a nice peaceful wintertime, stay healthy and have a nice warm welcome to 2022.

@btarunr whomever is going to CES/doing CES coverage on laptops. please tell them to give me some sweet sweet details on next gen gaming laptops, and to also whisper in the ears of these laptop makers to make them heavier for better cooling, smaller battery (cause you shouldn't be gaming on a battery anyway).

be the messenger. be the hero. so I can game at work with nice cool temps and not insane fan noise.

Merry christmas you filthy animal's.. and a happy new year :toast:

Let's hope 2022 will be a much better year for where hardware availability and prices will come down to a more normal level. 2020/2021 has been a nightmare on that behalf. Even throw I have completed my own build by the end of this year, it still took me 2 dam years to finish it, with is way too long for me to forfil my dream build. So thinking of all those who still are missing parts like a gpu. I pray for 2022 will be better for all of us geeks and nerds. The past two years has not been fun and I hope never to experience anything like this again ever.
