Today's NYT Mini Crossword Answers for Wednesday, March 26
I bought a laptop. How much is this configuration worth in USD?
I recently bought a Chinese-made Ebayfan laptop with the following specs: AMD Ryzen R7-7735HS processor, 16GB RAM + 512GB storage, RTX 3060 graphics card, and a 16.1-inch 2K display (2560×1600).
It will mainly be used for daily office work and occasionally playing 3A games like "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" and "Cyberpunk 2077." What do you think of this brand? Is the configuration suitable for me? How does it compare in terms of performance at this price range? Any issues with cooling? I’d appreciate advice from experienced users!
