Or in future those amazon go shops

Depends on what you need to use them for. All I have to go off of is my use case, in which I say LibreOffice. I’ve never had any professors complain. I just type my essay, then save it as a docx and send it. I have had issues with Impress not converting to PPT properly, but I’ve literally only had one class where I actually needed to do a presentation.

If you need all the latest and greatest features, I’d say go with Office 365.

For collaboration, I’d say Gsuite, but that’s only because that’s what I know because that’s what we use at work. I believe there are other, more privacy-respecting companies who offer similar solutions if privacy is a concern.

I guess also some come with anciliary benefits, like storage, and / or email, and / or other apps?

And with eco-systems, O365 probably fits into an existing environment for someone who is already running some MS services?

So even more what you said about use case being key

Office 365

Though I used to use WPS quite a bit.

Gsuite is great as long as you don’t mind Google. I’m not sure if they’ve caught up with MS in terms of sheer number of features and capability, but it can do pretty much everything that like 99% of people will need it for.

Should I sell my desktop and use my MacBook Pro with an eGPU instead?

How do you feel about this phrase now with Ryzen 3rd Gen?

What’s your current desktop?

If it was built in the last 5 years, no.

I still love AMD, and Intel still has better single core speed processors.
I am on my second Ryzen chip ( threadripper this time) and have set my nephew up on Ryzen, and will suggest AMD to anyone who doesn’t use specific apps that benefit from some single core performance. In fact, people are paying more, to run what is often worse software, but not my place to judge

I should specify:

  • Haven’t really been gaming on PC at all recently. I’d rather sit out on the couch on my Xbox. Probably will play WoW Classic once that comes out, but that’s it.
  • Would be nice to simplify my setup.
  • Would be nice to keep all my work on one computer.
  • Will mostly be used for a game I’m making in Unity.

My desktop:

  • i7-6700k (not overclocked because my original mobo broke and could only afford a cheap replacement)
  • 32GB RAM (DDR4, 2400 MHz)
  • Arez (Strix) Vega 56

And this is the MBP. Would keep the Vega 56 for the eGPU.

How bad is your desktop if that is better?

Lots of lovely Ram, but the cpu looks either underclocked, or throttled down for thermals?

Egpu is cool and all, but that’s trying to bring the laptop up to almost desktop levels?

Saying that, you already have a laptop, so I guess getting more life out of it?

My desktop is definitely better than the MBP. But the MBP is good enough, and it would be nice to clear up some space on my desk and keep all my work on one computer (edited my previous post to explain, but I was late, my bad).

Ya probably. It is Apple, after all.

Desktop levels at home. Still able to access all my work away from home.

If it weren’t a macbook, I’d say go for it.

Fucking things won’t be able to feed a V56 without thermal throttling.
