My dad is in the market for a new PC. Who makes good pre-built systems?

He’s retired, but still does some civil engineering work on the side. So he uses CAD and Adobe software.

I was going to recommend that he just get a good laptop and just hook it up to a monitor, but that'd probably be pretty expensive.

:whew: Got my first gaming laptop today and man is it :ohlawd:. I was :lupe: at first because I first tried trails of cold steel 3 on max right out the gate and was getting like prob 35 fps. Even after turning down the settings it wasn't 60

Then after looking online I learned I had to set my GPU to be used :wtf:.


After I did that :banderas::ohlawd:
