The Creators Update build of W10 is supposed to improve things with 4k monitors re icon/font/scaling/etc (previously Windows didn't handle high res monitors as well as we'd like). You might want to check out some reviews on this just to bring you up to date. If there's still concern and you have...

I do understand - my head always hurts when I do the same thing! Tomshardware is mainly geared towards PC related things. You might be lucky and find a pro camera expert but I'd recommend you post the same question in a few camera/video related forums. Still, if you were to find a few reputable...

If the feed into the receiver if from a PC (assuming since this is tom's) then try bypassing the PC and connecting a few other devices e.g. portable mp3 player, cd player, etc. If you get the same problem (bass light) then the issue is with the receiver/speaker setup. In this case recheck the...

+1 Good link!

Unless your laptop screen is >1080p (unlikely) then 2GB VRAM will be more than acceptable. The problem with a laptops GPU (in general), compared to a desktop equivalent or better, is that they have much less horsepower and generally have certain features paired down, meaning that you are going...

For a desktop, make sure you select your motherboard (most critical component) with care - i.e. make sure you get the latest chipset /CPU slot design release you can. With the MB as a base you can happily game for at least 5-6 years (or more). Just how many years depends on you continuing to...

"Best Gaming Desktops" appearing in Tom's makes absolutely no sense....ok...apart from 'entertainment' value.The Best Gaming Desktop is always (skill-base assumed) the one you build yourself. Any reader contemplating purchasing a pre-build will not be visiting Tom's.
