Best PC setup for Graphic Design - Graphics, Illustrator, Photography
There's so much emphasis on gaming and streaming computers, but considering these PCs rely heavily on graphics, are these also good for graphic design and photography?

Hello! My brother is making the switch from laptops to a desktop and asked me for help. However, it's been 6 or 7 years since I last did my build, and I'm feeling a little lost in the woods.

Screen Replacement
Hi all, I have an HP Laptop 15-ef1xxx. Recently, my warranty has just expired and of course, as soon as this happens, I have noticed pressure marks and a yellow streak that runs up the right side of my monitor (about a half inch thick).

I'm currently using the tft35a binary overlay and just using it as a dumb memory mapped framebuffer - only my code needs to write to the display, so I don't need a kernel…

AMD Memory Promotion - Will It Apply to 7800X3D?
I'm anticipating the release of the 7800X3D CPU later this month - wondering if the "Free 32GB DDR5" promotion is planned to be attached to the X3D releases, too? With that, it's enough to steer my build away from a 13700k, otherwise, going to stay Intel for now.

Monitor Port question
I'm trying to buy my first monitor to connect to my Mac AirBook. I was told I need a USBC connection. Is that the case, and how can I tell in the advertised monitors whether or not it has that type of connection? Everything says HDMI. Also, do I need to buy a Thunderbolt 4 for the best connectivity? Thank you!
