Does the Magic Keyboard come with the iPad Air or do you have to buy it separately?

anybody know anything about overclocking? from what i can tell, it's pushing it past ghz, so like getting 4.8 out of 4.5. but if it gets too hot, like 100 celsius, it starts to throttle down to like 4.2 or even lower. so the whole goal is to cool it a crap ton so it can stay under 100 celsius, so that it can hit 4.8 for as long as i want? also something about having enough voltage for it to hit 4.8.

also i rented a server with the processor i am considering, and under full load it shoots up from 60 to 100 celsius pretty much immediately. which is worrisome but i'm guessing they just have crap cooling?

I need help.

My kid wants a gaming PC for her birthday this month. What’s the cheapest PC I can get that will still work for online gaming. I don’t want to spend a small fortune only for her to lose interest in a few weeks.

If it helps, the games she wants to play are:

minecraft
fortnite
gta
call of duty
roblox
genshin impact
fnaf
before your eyes
little misfortune

Check the softwares' hardware requirement info. I'd bet that the cheapest new computer you can find will exceed them by a lot. Something that looks like a cool gaming computer would probably be my biggest concern.

I’d like to spend less than $750 for the PC. I already have a monitor.

Good choice. Built one a bit slower a few years ago for my kid using Tom's Guide or something like that. Still popping along playing similar games listed.

The past couple of computer purchases that I've made were by going to slickdeals.net and then reading a bunch of nerds' posts on the computer.

Ordered a new iPad today and it should be delivered pretty soon. Got the 11" iPad Pro 256GB in space gray. It's got the hot POA M1 chip  :excited:

Does anywhere in Manhattan sell parts and build computers? I got some parts, but need to buy others.

Best Buy?

There is/was a computer store in one of those strip malls at about 4th and Ft Riley Blvd
