Maybe, this time, all refresh Raptors are actually Raptor Lake, not some being Alder Lake. In 13000 series only 13600/700/900 are Raptor Lake.

High end GPU's like GTX1080 used to have a power consumption of 180W, now even mainstream models are more power hungry.

Like usual, the mobile version has nothing to do with the desktop version, because of the power constrains. Don't know why they don't rename the mobile version differently, like, at least, 4090M. Pascal was the most interesting mobile generation, neing on par (almost) with the desktop versions.

The same thing when Intel labeled as a i7 cpu a 2core/4thread one in the past, but people still bought laptops with those low-powered cpus because its an i7.

I don't understand this type of cases, so wide, the purpose of mAtx and miniItx cases/MB is to be more compact than ATX, this is not. Too bulky, you could just go for ATX MB+case instead of this, there are ATX cases that are pretty compact.

This remainds me of my old Gigabyte Gtx 8600 GTS Silent Pipe 3, you could slap a fan on top of the radiator:

I bought G203 3 years ago for like 25 euros. Its not a new model, maybe the white version.

Yes, uncanny resemblance

I think Ungari could be right. Microsoft is trying to achieve something like Apple, to have a unified version, and to avoid the mess that Android for example is.

Thank you :)

The interesting question is that: the upgrade takes place before 29 of July. If I upgrade the PC (change the MB), and I transfer the Win 8.1 license to this new PC (cause 8.1 is retail FPP), will I be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free? Or a upgrade license must be bought?

@Jetster: Thank you for yout reply. No, I am not from the USA, hope in Europe Microsoft follows this policy.

Hello guys, I have 1 license of WIndows 8.1 FPP/retail license. I want to upgrade to WIndows 10, but I one thing is unclear to me. If I upgrade, will WIndows 10 license be retail or it will "turn" into some sort of OEM license? I ask this because I upgrade my PC, you know, more memory...

That big led "G" made mw think this was a Logitech mouse.

I think a small heatsink like the ones on the memory modules would solve the problem. And ofcourse, it would be interesting to mount the M2 SSD like a memodry module, vertically, and thus there would be enough space for airflow/cooling. not to mention enough space to have 2 or 3 M2 SSDs.
