I've put together a computer before but it was over a decade ago. I remember hating the tedious process of cable management so I was going to hire GeekSquad to come to my house to put it together for me. When I asked them if I need to provide the thermal paste, they didn't know what thermal paste was and put me on hold for 10 minutes to figure out what I was trying to ask. it was at that point I cancelled the appointment and decided I would just do it myself. And now I'm here.

@@realitor Excellent Review by cxxxxp I got this for my birthday recently and it was a tremendous update from a 10 y.o. Wacom Bamboo graphics pad. I use this as a hobby, not professionally. The size provides plenty of working space and it is lightweight for its size. The screen is vibrant bright and has all the detail I need. The drawing experience is fantastic - smooth, accurate, and no lag on a 2015 macbook pro using either photoshop or illustrator. The pen is very comfortable to use and the pressure sensitivity is excellent and adjustable. Shortcuts customisable. I recommend buying a 2-finger drawing glove as it helps in drawing smooth, longer lines because your hand won't stick to the screen at all. It would be a lot easier with touch input to pan/zoom, and also helpful if the Cintiq was compatible with a handheld remote with shortcuts. In saying this, being the lighter version, this is totally worth the money. Although the stand should be included with the device in my opinion. :) I wasn't actually aware it needed a computer to run but I always use it at home anyway and PC software is better to work with, I am extremely happy with this after one month of use and have invested in a 17" laptop case to protect it.

@@badr5827 If you're ever unsure of something, there's no shame in taking a break and googling how to do it and watching a few different videos to understand. I ended up calling my friend over Discord with video chat so he could watch what I was doing in case I messed up. Unfortunately, I DID mess up, and I screwed in my M.2 SSD without the little standoff that you can see Linus put in at 5:03. I screwed down the SSD with just the flat screw, which isn't a terrible problem, but the M.2 now rests at a bit of an angle and I'm SURE that is weakening the connection just a tiny bit. I also failed to tighten my CPU cooler to the motherboard all the way the first time, which meant that I had to hand-tighten a lot of the screws. You know how hard that is? Lmao, the instructions weren't clean and I wasn't sure how tight they needed to be. Answer: It all needs to be tight. Aside from those two little hiccups, everything else was simple for a first-timer. The cables were a headache, but there a lot of good guides on what they all mean and where you're supposed to put them. I also couldn't get it to boot the first time I turned it on. I don't remember the issue, but I think I removed the RAM and reinstalled it and it was fixed. Scared the shit out of me, but I KNEW nothing could be broken because I'd just purchased everything Take the tips in this video seriously. Use your motherboard box as a platform, or the use the plastic bag it comes in as an anti-static tray (it's an anti-static bag). Touch your plugged in (but turned OFF) PSU every minute or so, or touch your METAL PC case to ground yourself and release any static. DON'T push on your CPU when slotting it in. Just gently drop it into place, and nudge it into position if it's not squared off. You gotta push kinda hard on your RAM, and if you're not sure about if it's in all the way, take it out and try again. If you get the same results even if you push twice as hard then you probably did it right. Always trust the manuals that come with your components. I've bookmarked a lot of pages in my motherboard manual because they have details on what the flashing lights indicate and where cables go

If they were a monopoly, that would be a different story, but they aren't. The only reason I see to be displeased with them, is for slacking so hard. Competition is how progress happens in anarcho-capitalist systems such as the tech market. And them opting out by not introducing actual innovation, while their competitors decimate them with price to performance, is simply not consumer friendly. And not being consumer friendly is probably the most valid reason to be displeased with any business.
