Let's suppose you are right for a moment, can the $350 buy a case, power supply, motherboard, CPU, RAM, hard disk that is on par with the PS5? GPU is only half the equation.
You're not wrong. It's far more powerful than any PC you can build for the same price. Everyone likes to complain on this platform, maybe more so than Reddit. Anything a company does to make money is down voted and called unreasonable.
I've actually been surprised but how many gems I've found in games with a 70% rating or a 82% rating. Sometimes ratings can be impacted by feelings about a company or a media incident when the actual game is rock solid.
Do you work in the corporate world? Because Microsoft Copilot is included in E3 and E5 licenses so nearly every enterprise Windows corporation is running it. Copilot is being pushed hard at our company and at a recent conference everything was about Copilot. I don't think it feels anything like Cortana, it feels exactly like ChatGPT. What you state may be true for personal users, but the real money for Microsoft is in the enterprise business.
True but it won't be comparable to the console hardware. Has anyone done a cost/performance analysis of the PS5 Pro? Most of the time the cost is subsidized into the licensing fees involved in order to sell PS5 games.
Honestly price isn't an issue and the reason to go PS5 over PC is the ease of use. I can't stand having to get up to use my mouse to click start game, or games that never implemented proper console support on PC for whatever reason. It's just so much easier to have working HDR, Dolby Atmos, etc on a PS5 than it is with Steam big picture on a PC. I've tried it many times and there's always some frustration with the PC on a home theater setup.
I used to pirate back in the day and the fact that you no longer had updates or fixes was a huge issue. It's actually the number one reason I no longer pirate games. It's not worth my time or frustration to deal with a virus, bad crack or crashing game. Also since I stopped pirating I've had exactly 0 malware/trojan infections.
Yea I could see that. I was challenged in a few other places on Lemmy because my company didn't use Linux and supposedly it was more common than Windows which blew my mind. Outside of school though I don't see professionals using Macs unless maybe it's a personal device or some software devs/designers. I go to my fair share of conferences and events which are almost always Dell, Lenovo or HP machines running Windows.
Everyone I know in literally every company has a Windows PC. I've had people tell me that everyone at their office uses a Mac or Linux and I'm just bamboozled. I guess I do work for a large law firm and most law firms, financial companies and most software companies that we work with are windows shops.
Yea our Hyundai does this too but you need to tap on the brakes and then you will see the revs raise and hold. It only does it when on a downhill incline.
Whoever is down voting me should actually go out and check what the GVWR of their vehicle is and the curb weight + fuel and passengers. It's surprisingly low even for a full sized SUV unless you own a body on frame SUV. Sure you can exceed the GVWR but you are potentially endangering others on the road with increased braking distances and poor handling.
