Dude, thats a nice computer too! Its using a 11th gen I7 CPU with 4 cores and 8 threads. You have a whopping 64GB of RAM, which is enough to run multiple VM's, or do a massive ton of photo production lol.
You know, I remember back when I was on my old computer, I was able to max out the 16GB of RAM, just having several RAW photo's loaded in GIMP at once. I actually got an error message from GIMP saying no I can't do that Dave. Its like, dang it Hal! HAHA!
This is what influenced me to accept that I should get 32GB of RAM for my next computer, which is of course what I did, and I have never run into a running out of RAM issue again lol. Anyways, I also like the fact your computer has a GTX 1650 in it, which is a really solid mid-range card, awesome!
Have you kept up how difficult it is for gamers to get video cards for their desktop builds? Ya, its been an ongoing problem for 2 years now, going on 3 if this business keeps up lol. We notebook owners are the winner winner chicken dinners here hehe.
I also like the fact that your computer has a thunderbolt 4 port, you know why thats excellent? Cause, if you decide you want to get into heavier gaming that your notebook GPU can provide, no problem! You can buy a external GPU enclosure, stick the next standard desktop GPU into it, I'm guessing it will be from the 4000 series perhaps, and walla, your gaming hardcore lol.
I actually like your machine, so it gets StarTreker's approval for best value mid-grade gaming machine. And remember, not just gaming, but that thing can do 1440P video production, as well as photo. Excellent!
I think that's what Gateway wanted to achieve, but became a bloated Holstein cow instead, who's weight alone, crushed the company.
But I'll post it here when I do find the icon set
