I game at 3440x1440 ultrawide, and upgraded from a 3090 to 4090. 4090 is significantly faster and smoother. And DLSS3 frame interpolation is no joke- in Hogwarts Legacy with every setting cranked up and max ray tracing, turning on DLSS3 jumped me from around 80fps with noticeable 1% low stutters and now pegs it at the 144fps limiter I set in game. Smooth as butter.

Also I mess around with some AI things like stable diffusion, and it's much faster for that as well. As much as I hate the term "future proof", the 4090 is more worth it in that regards, IMO.

Bad thing is the waterproofing goes out the window after you crack it open, so you gotta be careful from then on.

Microsoft's Gamepass gives you a discounted price on games, so if you see that something is going to fall out of their subscription catalog you can purchase it for less. It's only like 20% off but it's nice that they offer it.

I'm in the same boat, I've been interested in the folding phone concept for years, but I've been waiting for them to get slimmer, have less of a crease, and have a better front screen for journal quick use. I was tempted to wait and buy the new Galaxy Fold 5 when it comes out. It's supposed to have the new teardrop design hinge that immensely helps out with the crease. But then it looks like they still aren't going to do anything with the front screen from the Fold 4, which I don't like, so I just bought the Galaxy S23 Note (let's face it, that's what the Ultra is) instead. Hopefully by the time the Fold 7 comes out they'll have made some changes.

Also Nova. I'm pretty sure that Google and Samsung copied features from it for their official UI over the years. It's always been forward thinking and extremely customizable for the use experience.
