Since I go overseas on extended stays, I figured I'd be needing a gaming laptop to scratch that gaming itch. So, from the time I'd gotten back around last week of July till now, hooted some stuff:

lKGsDzB.jpg

Lenovo Legion 5 Pro - AMD R7 5800H, 2x 8GB DDR4 3200MHz, 1GB NVMe M.2 SSD, 8GB RTX 3070, 2560x1600 165Hz screen + Keychron K2 v2 (with Aluminum frame) + Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed ( speakers shown are the Logitech MX Sound which I'd forgotten were in my storeroom).


lQ1y6RJ.jpg

Yes, I know it isn't a good SSD, but for my usage scenario (which is just filling it with some of my fav games, so no writes and rewrites), it should be fine for simply storing games. I have already filled up about 1.5GB worth of games in it.

These speakers are USB powered, so easier to transport. I'll be taking and leaving the Edifier R19U in Thailand, the Pebble V3 will be in Canada. After that, no need to pack a pair of speakers for whenever I go overseas.

Can play some emulated games too. Then connect to hotel/apartment TV to piak game like game console.

This laptop sure no problem to run. :LOL:

Games are so big nowadays my 500GB NVMe is almost reaching its full capacity!
I gave up storing modern games on SSD, too mafan to install and uninstall and big SSDs are still crazy expensive.

Just bought one 3TB 7200RPM CMR
Toshiba P300 and put all the games inside, at least can install 20 games at once and not just 2.

Hoot two more original Intel x550-t2 (not OEM) 10gbe cards for my upcoming home project

Changing my 10gbe switch fans with Noctua PWM, hope to keep my mancave quieter and maintain the temperature threshold
