“I went to Top Flight Computers with two requirements: it had to handle serious CAD drafting by day and GTA VI by night. I’m an engineer, so I’ll put it in technical terms: this thing slaps.
My old computer treated every drawing file like a hostage negotiation. I’d click “Open,” go get coffee, come back, drink the coffee, question my career, and it would still be thinking about it. Then it would crash and take three hours of work with it like a petty ex. This new machine opens files so fast I’ve lost my excuse for a coffee break. My coworkers think I’ve gotten more productive. I have not. I’m just no longer waiting.
As for GTA VI: my computer is ready. Fully, completely, aggressively ready. Unfortunately, Rockstar has decided PC players must first endure a period of suffering while console people go to Vice City without us. So right now I own a top-tier gaming machine sitting at my desk like a sports car in a parking garage, engine running, waiting for a release date. It’s staring at me. I can feel it.
Chris T. is a legend. He listened to what I needed, answered every question, including several dumb ones, and never once laughed at me for asking if it could “future-proof” against Rockstar’s release schedule. (He said no computer is that powerful.) The cable management is so clean my wife asked why the computer is more organized than the garage. I’m not ready to have that conversation.
Bottom line: if you need a machine for real work and real crimes (virtual ones, officer, eventually), go to Top Flight and ask for Chris.
My old computer has been informed. It’s taking it hard.”
