These comparisons, between Google’s cloud-based suite and The Document Foundation’s LibreOffice, are of features in free software. If you need Microsoft Office, ensuring 100-percent compatibility with Office users and the other premium features you can only get with a 365 subscription, then you need it, and no alternative suite is quite going to be right for you. This is going to affect mainly professionals and those who need lots of cloud storage—OneDrive plans work out cheaper than Google Drive and bundle Office 365 with 1TB of storage, while Google Drive offers more storage in its free tier, at 15GB versus 5GB. For everyone else, a free suite will probably suffice. This even goes for us here at Maximum PC, who consider ourselves relatively professional, but spend much of our time in Google Docs when not using Adobe’s Creative Cloud apps.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super
LONG AGO, before the reign of the Supers, there was a graphics card. It was bold, gauche, and built with the blood of a Titan, with gaming in mind. Its heart was near identical to the goliath it was born from, yet it lacked the memory, spirit, absolute architectural majesty, and subsequent price tag of its Titanic kin.
