Hello,
It’s again about Hardware. Mini factor.
I’m here to say what I bought. Just hands-on experience, which was for me, for almost a year, a mistery.
Now I can say: mostly happy with HP Elitedesk G2 Mini.
Yes a bit old: i5 6500, 8Gb Ram, 256 Gb SSD.
And of course Intel 530 HD videocard
(by the way – almost like GT 730), on which most hope were.
All this compact did the thing!

There are also to mention: Intel NUC (the very first in history)
Dell Optiplex micro, Lenovo ThinkCentre, Fujitsu Esprimo.
My choice was between HP and Dell. Just HP did the trick.
There was worry about overheat, but no, nothing similar to that or I’m just playing good old Half-Life 2 on max settings, but on 1024px wide screen. 🙂

Speed, framerate in Racing sims? Quite nice, with darken videocard taste, good joy, works abs well in RaceRoom multiplayer (22 players in one track).
Also all tidy in Grid, GTR 2, will try with F1 2018.
That’s for future, the saddest part of course, small hard drive.

It’s SSD, but it’s quite small, for me 256 Gb is minimum.
But for now it’s all ok, with O at start.
So, I recomment those PCs, they 1. Small – handy in a way that 1.3kg with size of 17cm is a good chooice to pack and grab into almost any trip and plug it into other country (for cases of course need adapter to other plug systems).
2. Powerful – I would say a Good value / Small Factor.

In overall, good piece of nice PC. Recommend for those, who enjoy well designed sims/games with modest video settings and likes to travel.
Thank you for your time,
Enjoy the life!
Stay tunned

Hello again fans!

I’ven’t written for long time. Yes maybe due the worldwide situation. As everyone, wish this will over and we can continue living.
But as short writter I like to more focus topic and today’s topic is about Forza Motosport 7.
The only competitor from my of view to Gran Turismo 6.
So in few sentences a creative approach on some mission races, never played before this series and can say, wow you really put affort on it, especially wet races.
I personally don’t like to race in wet conditions, but sim proves to be the best for now in terms of rain, heavy rain and especially puddles.
In overall I really like this sim, gained Masters right now. Althougth there are some feelings what I don’t like is that sometimes the vehicles feel idential with overstearing, but just feeling.
Also I feel frustrating due that fact not able to play freeplay on every track I want with every car I want, like in CARS.
In overall a complete solid, rich and valuable game for Xbox One, it’s a true exclusive.

Yes, I’ve lost economy stringency and invested in console.
I thought about it for a whole month and decided, based on some reasons (economy slightly, Horizon 4) that Xbox One is an attractive target.

Couped raha and bought Xbox One S.
Nice device, I like the introduction part.
Just 2 connect cables, wifi and you’re can start.
Just Hate update part, slow internet, but other things and Youtube are just pritty.

I doubted about Joystick. But it went that well that I think every game will a be a fun, like CARS 2.

Currently the picture looks awesome, as I thought. Can’t wait for Horizon 4, because of it I choosed this one.

Joystick, Like the LT and RT buttons, with them awesome acceleration

Now the plans are simple. To try online with real competitors on console.
