Best Computers For Computer Programming And Gaming

My teenager needed a new computer for school work. He wanted to have a computer for gaming. I have tried other companies (both laptops and desktops) and have always enjoyed my HP computers more than the others. The computer came sooner than expected and was very easy to set up. There was none of the usual "free" apps or updates that were needed for previous purchased computers. Within a couple of minutes, he was already gaming. This Envy satisfied both of our needs.

I had known of Razer for a few years as a maker of gaming accessories and components in the PC market, but not as a computer manufacturer, and even if I did know they made computers, it was swamped out by being somewhat of a Microsoft Surface or Apple product snob. I read a few reviews of this product (Blade 14), and BestBuy had a them on display - my first impression was wow this thing looks really well made - something most gaming laptops are lacking, second impression is that it had less cheese factor than most gaming computers, and third impression was how well engineered and responsive it was. And the power in a 14 whose screen, touchpad, tolerances, fit, feel and finish were better than the Microsoft SurfaceBook and probably equal to a MacBook Pro. Yes, expensive, but it looked and felt worth it. I bought the Ryzen 9 RTX 3080 version and two weeks in I am impressed enough now to actually write a review - this is a great machine with no caveats in my mind, and worth what they are charging - the experience is reflected in the very professional and on-brand collateral materials, their web presence, etc. Razer is - surprise - a very top tier player, something I definitely didn't think of them as. Very happy with this purchase. The machine is powerful, smooth, refined, etc. as it should be and without any obvious compromises. If you want a top-tier computer, not just a gaming computer, this company belongs in your consideration set.

After doing programming and repairs on computers for nearly 40 years I've found that the 3.5 Seagate's are one of the best drives available. They have far less failures then the 2.4 drives and do not have the limited Read/Write cycles of the SSD's. The prices per gigabyte storage is the best. Performance is as good as any 2.5 drive. The larger format dissipates heat better which is a part of why they are much more reliable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this monitor for programming and gaming. Love it! Replaced 3 - 24" Asus 1080p monitors from 2010. This monitor is great 4k resolution, and wraps around perfectly for me, and not too much. I love the black back over the others with white back side as I don't want white in my office. You'll love it, and Samsung's quality is top notch!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this monitor. I use it mostly for programming and for gaming. I don’t play intense games but for those I do the video flows smoothly with zero pixelation. I highly recommend.

Follows programming well.

The computer itself is great - Powerful enough to handle our daily programming duties (including multiple Vagrant boxes). The best part was B&H - Best Buy, Amazon, and even Apple's own store were backlogged for the particular model we needed... B&H had it in stock and 1 day delivery. It arrived in 1 day, well packaged, and exactly what was expected. Not to mention, the price was discounted - Yet the product is brand new.. To get a discounted price on Apple, you have to get refurbished. Forego that, go with B&H.

Decided to get the imac after my old macbook started experiencing performance issues and so far this computer has been great. I mostly use it for programming and other daily tasks but haven't had any issues so far.

I built a new computer and purchased 32 Gb of Memory and just purchased another 32 Gb. I use my system mostly for data science and programming. I often run analyses or have various VMs running and this ram is working excellently so far. I have also done some basic gaming and had no issues. Given that DDR5 is new I am hopping to use this product for at least the next 5 years.

Best computer for editing videos.
