Switch or more of the same Xbox One X? The X brings nothing new but additional pixels. Buy a PC for that instead. I pretty much stopped buying consoles and console games for about 6 or 7 years now. It was just not worth it. Last of Us was nice, however. But that's it. Switch will be my first console in a long while. Contemplating purchasing one next year January or so.

I would stick with your current phone and wait to hear more about Pixel 2 or Surface Phone. iOS is too restrictive, and you can't make phone "yours". The result is every iOS phone is the same save for slight customizations in the widgets menu. I have a Pixel, and I customized its setup and widgets, so it's mine and looks beautiful.

I am finding the game to be really fun. I enjoy the exploration and colony-building aspects of the game. It is pretty satisfying. Did people expect another trilogy and a carbon copy of the story-building and setting of the original trilogy? Andromeda is seemingly meant to be different, and wanted to avoid becoming a yearly recycle (erm, release), which people despise, no? It is great fun and will keep me busy until Destiny 2 is out on PC.

Yes, but I wouldn't recommend it because I had one for a long time. I would get frustrated by how single-core performance was a huge bottleneck since it is far behind Intel chips in that area. And, many games are optimized using only one or two cores of a CPU. It became a huge problem for me whenever I fired up a CPU-intensive game such as Victoria 2.

or Volta is a significant upgrade, but he just wants people to spend as much money they can on their current cards then upgrade again for Volta. ;)

I think I pushed mine to the max possible, and it is a stable overclock. But, how does it compare to others?

I'm sure people care about benchmarks when they browse Facebook or watch Netflix.

Oh, that's nice. People can browse Facebook faster on an iPhone.

I cannot see myself using anything virtual. It's just ridiculous. The things that we can feel and touch WILL always triumph over things that we cannot.

I would say switch right away. Spending $800 to $1000 on an iPhone is idiotic. There are great Android phones for just $200 to $300, and Android phones that match iPhones in everyday performance cost only $300-600. The Pixel is a flagship Google phone, and that costs only $649 for the baseline model with 32 GB of storage. Switch to Android, and save yourself hundreds of dollars. The Apple "experience" aka gulag is not worth your hard earned bucks.
