So, are you going for a 9800x3d? What upgrades are you planning? Last I remember you weren't going to do a big upgrade.

I don't understand, Hong Kong has loads of tech stores, why not just buy a nice tablet there? Also, Android 16 will be out later this year, how many OS upgrades and security updates will that tablet get? That is the only thing I don't like about Android tablets, they are really wonky when it comes to updates.

Either X3D or R9, haven’t decided yet.. I got a better job so ehh.. celebrate?

One of these because my idiot cat decided to go "exploring" on the shelves and knocked my great ezDISK docking station off and broke the USB 3.0 connector off the circuit board inside. The fall tore a trace off the board, resoldered the rest and it works but at USB 2.0 speeds: Amazon.com: FIDECO Hard Drive Enclosure, USB 3.0 to SATA Hard Drive Docking Station for 3.5 or 2.5 inch SATA HDD SSD with Cooling Fan, 12V Power Adapter Included, Support UASP : Electronics

He's already stuffed, the fat lard-ass never misses a meal and cries when his food dish is empty.
