    The laptop

    The PC

    Granted the laptop handles software just fine and can multi-task well, I love my keyboard and mouse setup instead

    That and it's fast as hell since I only run M.2 drives with 32GB of ram

    I'm not having any issue with half that amount of RAM. I did add a second screen. Makes a huge difference having different programs on their own screen. I added a wireless keyboard/ mouse as well. It's nice not having to worry about my dirty hands screwing up the spendy laptop.

    Two screens here too, 32" TV above is connected as an extended display

    And yeah the laptop runs everything fine, the PC is just faster

    It's like having a Camaro SS. It's quick and gets stuff done, but I'd rather drive my stroked out Corvette with high-stall

    A good wireless mouse and keyboard makes everything so much easier. I redrew a couple files the other day without them and it was annoying lol. Gonna order another set to have on my second laptop.

    I don't want to make a mousepad extension cause otherwise there's no space if you look at the pic :bananadead:

    I would've gone custom open loop, but it's only a locked 12400F processor.

    Best value Intel in the community.

    But just think, with a couple hundred hours of labor, a thousand dollars in materials, and immeasurable frustration you could have a system that looks different and performs exactly the same while needing near constant maintenance.

    apparently I am a glutton for punishment ... I can't leave anything well enough alone that works perfectly the way it is.
