Recently, my Clevo P150EM laptop developed an intermittent fault on its graphics card, which caused me to replace it.
10 years of solid use isn't bad going for a gaming laptop and I was sad to stop using it. 
I bought that machine in April 2013 when I worked for Apple and practically all income was disposable.

I had my eye on PC Specialist's Ionico, which has a really good display and quite a bit of power while being very thin and light.
I kept an eye on their website, since the Ionico is often out of stock, and I managed to get the well-balanced i7 CPU and 3070 Ti GPU variant which sold out almost right away after it was restocked.

After that, I got thinking of the Aquanox series of underwater combat games and, since the new laptop has a much more modern graphics card, I decided to give the 2020-released Aquanox Deep Descent a spin.
It's quite a bit different to the original games from a gameplay and atmosphere stance, which makes sense as it reveals itself to be a fairly distant prequel to the others.

I see that the game has received some lukewarm reviews. Perhaps the 1.4 version that I downloaded is a bit more polished than the original release.
In any case, it was an extremely beautiful game that ran very smoothly and reliably, with what soon became a very engrossing story and a lot of really fascinating weapons, which the ships were able to 'dual-wield' in very useful combinations.

Having just finished it, it makes me want to go back and explore it some more.
