I should Work at Oakley
It seems every 4 years or so is enough of a jump in PC tech performance to make me want to upgrade. it's also a perfect spot to hand down my current PC to my niece while it is still well performing with the current AAA game offerings.
I just got the new Alienware m18 laptop a few weeks ago. Specs are I9 13900HX, RTX 4090 mobile, 32gb ram. The 4090 mobile in most of the reviews I have seen seems to preform just a hair above a desktop RTX 3090. I probably should have just got a 4090 desktop, but I've always gone the route of the "desktop replacement" category of laptops and this thing is a rocket ship to me. I upgraded from a I9 9900k/RTX 2080 Alienware Area 51m. I was worried this wouldn't feel like a drastic enough upgrade, but the performance bump in games is impressive. VR runs sooo much smoother. Cyberpunk 2077 with ultra ray tracing, all ultra settings, and DLSS on Quality is pretty high frames. that frame gen stuff with the 40 series cards is the real deal. With the old RTX 2080 medium settings with any ray tracing options on was chop city in that game.
