Because batteries last so long that you can go 1 more day with 21% battery nowadays.

I also only charge my phone once every 4-5 days, don't see a reason to charge it as soon as it gets below 80%. I paid for the whole battery, I'm gonna use the whole battery.

Seeing people stress about battery life only to find out they're using 60% of it is just jokes.
Battery slaves.
Nice to see there are still people who enjoy their phones.
Never cared about battery life.
When its shit, I just buy a new battery.
Takes less than 10 minutes to swap them.

no...but everything is inflated so take whatever deal you can get. For 1080P gaming you can play most games maxed out. maybe even 1440p on high settings. but no 4k gaming.

It'll do 4K/60 to 4K/120 just fine. They'll just have to lean on DLSS pretty hard.

My shittier RTX 5060 gives me 4K/90 on the 48" OLED on my desk just fine. Hell, my ancient RTX 2070 just spent seven years spitting out 4K/60 just fine.

If you have a Costco membership, you should go check physically, sometimes they got better deal in-store than online, and some display builds might be sold for ridiculously cheap if you're lucky.

That is perfectly reasonable for $1500 in today's market, and perfectly in line with what $1500 buys at Costco.

If you are going to keep shopping around, do not drop below 32GB of RAM. Do not drop below 1TB SSD. Do not drop below an RTX 5060.

As it stands, this will give you gameplay perfectly in line with what a PS5/Series will give you, at twice the framerate, or higher graphics settings.

I think you could do about the same on a 5070 and get a big boost in performance.

Otherwise, 100% agree.
