And we didn't even have to pay $1000

I posted it in the Most Wanted thread but I forgot to put it here: if anyone likes the Ace Combat franchise or wants to give it a try, Projext Wingman is almost a carbon copy (in a good way) and it has a demo with 3 missions and 3 planes.

It's available from itch.io: https://rb-d2.itch.io/wingman

Looking for a new notebook. Trying to juggle screen size, weight, price and performance. It's terrible. Not that I actually need performance. Price and weight are the most important things right now.

The Asus G14 is currently one of the Value leaders right now if you don't need a webcam while being very portable + great battery life and performance. It can get pretty expensive but there is a range of options.

It's not supposed to be a gaming notebook. Anything with a discrete GPU or more than 1.3kg is absolute overkill. I'm looking into the million different Surface things right now but they just seem to be more expensive than they should be.

I need a notebook I can take with me on trips that can play videos. I could just get something super cheap but I have a bad feeling that I'll pay for it with frustration. The best thing would be a tablet, but I'm feeling really iffy about not having a fully fledged Windows with me.

I was going to say get a chromebook but yes that doesn't do windows normally

Acer Swift 3 from Amazon - $649

• AMD Ryzen 7 4700U Octa-Core Mobile Processor (Up to 4. 1GHz) with Radeon Graphics | 8GB LPDDR4 Memory | 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD
• 14" Full HD Widescreen IPS LED-backlit Display (1920 x 1080 resolution; 16: 9 aspect ratio)
• Intel Wireless Wi-Fi 6 AX200 802.11ax | HD Webcam (1280 x 720) | Backlit Keyboard | Fingerprint Reader
• 1 - USB Type-C port USB 3. 2 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gbps) DisplayPort over USB Type-C & USB Charging, 1- USB 3. 2 Gen 1 port (featuring power-off charging), 1 - USB 2. 0 port & 1 - HDMI port
• Just 0. 63" thin and 2. 65 lbs (1.2kg) and up to 11. 5 hours of battery life!

While the Asus G14 is a gaming notebook, it is very portable at 1.6kg with a 10 hour battery life and good speakers. You can put it in silent mode and it won't make any sound since it turns off the fans completely and it also has 1440p screen option as well as a 1660Ti option. It also has USB-C charging. So I'd certainly consider it since it's not the normal gaming laptop with a 2 hour battery that weighs a lot.

But other than that, you would have to go with the more portable but less value for money options. Something like a Dell XPS 13 or the Surface pro but Windows + Tablet interface doesn't really mix and I owned a Surface Pro before returning it. If you want to get a Surface, get a keyboard. Also if you do think about XPS 13, make sure you get the newer model cause the olders one have shit speakers.

I expect most will go for the classics, the X-Wing and the Tie Fighter.

Requirements are a bit high for a PS4/X1 port, but at least it doesn't ask for a lot of storage.
