Building computers is a fun hobby. When was the last time you built a computer? Do you like AMD or Intel better?
I rebuilt my current PC about six months ago. I wanted small form factor one for travel. I like AMD better, but that is mainly because of affordability.
Yes the AMD Ryzen processors are known to be more affordable compared to Intel. That's cool that you built one for travel. Do you use it for LAN parties?
No but that would be fun! I had to travel abroad for a few months and wanted to take a PC instead of a laptop. So far so good! Although a laptop still has its uses.
That's awesome that you travel abroad. It's always good to see new places and experience new things. Did the country you travel to have a different power requirement that you had to take into consideration when choosing a power supply?
It certainly did. I took a European plug adapter with me and also a surge protector since the electricity is less reliable over there. 
Yeah the power over in the EU is different and ranges from 110 to 250 volts depending which country you are in. It was smart of you to bring a surge protector to protect your computer. What do you use your computer primarily for?
I use it for work and play. Mostly work these days... Although recently I've been trying digital art which is fun. 
Digital art can be fun. Wether using something super simple like MS Paint or using professional tools like Adobe Photoshop, the sky is the limit when it comes to what you can do using your imagination.
That's what's so great about it. It's so easy to undo something you don't like as well. As opposed to trying to correct your errors with real paint.
CTR + Z  , a favorite keyboard command for undoing things. Not sure if it works in the programs you use (mac or windows)  but it does in most.
It's probably my most use windows function haha. I'm a windows only kind of guy!
While Mac does have its advantages. Windows allows more freedom and flexibility. A must for someone who is into computer hardware. Hard to tinker and upgrade Mac's.
Yep. That's my problem with Mac's and Apple products in general. They don't allow their users much control or room for modification. Also their pricing is very inflated.
Agreed on all points. "Apple Tax" also known as paying more for a product since it has the apple logo on it.
They're just very good at marketing. Their products do look for sleek and cool though.
For awhile there they did, nowadays there are enough imitation Apple products and even Samsung products that look just as sleek and cool. Their marketing though is top notch and continues to earn them billions
I guess that's true. Another thing they have going for them is that once you're in their ecosystem, it can be difficult to change to a different brand.
Very hard to migrate from iTunes into another program.
My partner has this issue currently. She has a Mac and iPhone and is finding it difficult to move away for their hardware and software products.
It's good that you stuck with a PC. You wont have to deal with that when you build your next one!
Exactly! I have the ability to update each piece of hardware when and if necessary. Thus each part hopefully having a longer lifespan and less waste.
It was great talking to you but I have to go now. Good luck living abroad and getting your partner's files transferred over. Have a nice day!
Good to chat with you too. Thanks, have a pleasant day!
