You don’t have to play the multiplayer? The games already made it’s not like they would skimp the single-player to focus on the multi-player mode.

However, this decline seems to be due to the previous fiscal period being exceptionally good for FromSoftware, as it started shortly after the release of the company’s global hit Elden Ring

Kind of a nothing-burger.

Ok then. I’ll echo what some others are saying about 16GB being sufficient. If you were in engineering every now and then it’s not enough but I don’t think its the case for comp sci. I’d leave the door open and get one in which you can upgrade the RAM though.

One thing to look out for is CPU performance. I find the laptop CPU market is a disaster right now in which you really don’t know what you’ll get. LTT has a recent video on the topic. For most courses it won’t actually matter that much. Some examples of the ones where it could make a difference are numerical linear algebra courses, machine learning (classical, not neural networks), and computer vision (again, classical). In some of these extra RAM might also be helpful but I’d prioritize a better CPU over the RAM. You may look at CPU benchmarks to get an idea of their performance.

In terms of GPU… I don’t think you’ll get anything capable enough for training neural networks at this price point, which is the only thing you may need it for in comp sci. But it’ll help with light gaming (but I imagine integrated graphics is good enough for minecraft these days—but dont quote me on that).

Also lastly, I would still recommend finding something with decent Linux support even if you dont want to use it (yet), you may choose to install it down the line. My Dell XPS/Precision has pretty poor linux support with buggy trackpad issues which has caused issues for me in the past. Many comp sci students end up switching to Linux/dual booting for a good reason.

I expect to be able to code in it

What kind of student? Computer science? Engineering?

Hope to see it on GOG. But maybe not since there is multiplayer.

But AMD would rather sell two cards at 1000 each than take the bet of trying to sell four at 750.

At the same time though this might not be unreasonable. I don’t know what the profit margin on these cards is given the R&D, manufacturing costs, and other various overheads, but it might be WAY more worth it to sell two at 1000 then four at 750. Might even be worth it to sell one at 1000 vs four at 750 depending on how slim it is after all those costs.

Last time I tried to play on Dolphin it was quite buggy. Luckily I still have my copy though so I play it, but that isn’t the case for all. But perhaps it runs better on PCSX2.

For me personally it doesn’t make a huge difference, the bar to greatly increase my willingness to pay starts at DRM free (i.e., being on GOG). But perhaps for others this will matter a lot more (especially people with children)!

Wow this is huge. I’ve been wanting this for years.

It seems like a not great deal for developers who will want to sell multiple copies to the same house though. We’ll see how many disable the feature.

At last!

Kodi + RealDebrid

Yup hate the new update. I have a weird problem with deleting words too with the backspace since the update. Will probably revert to Samsung messages soon.

Man still waiting for God of War to release on GOG

Well it’ll still take then time to lock down the loopholes so Apple will get to milk the cow a bit longer.
