In the ninth episode of ‘Leo Says' – our grumpy guru Leo discusses the Apple BatteryGate and price drops to appease customers, he bitches about RAM and SSD pricing and he also discusses the new and upcoming AMD hardware launches.

@Allan : the main difference known up till now between the 300-series chipset and 400-series chipset for AMD is that the 400-series will use general usage PCIe lanes of PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 instead of PCIe Gen 2.0 x8. Not a big difference, but might allow for 2 NVMe devices on the motherboards instead of the now-available 1 with a second one usable with either sata m.2 or gen 2.0 m.2 devices.
