u/Effective-Try-8691

Been looking around at gaming laptops and didn't want to spend a lot and saw this which is around my price range and was wondering if it was a good deal?

I'm working on getting everything i need for my first Setup and saw this recommended if i get this will i need a Phono Preamp because I'm getting a record player that doesn't have one and wasn't sure if this has one or i would still need to get one?

I used to be able to see like a noise texture when I CTRL Shift click on it but now the texture just go's black this also happens with Emissions i can only see them in Render View does anyone know how to fix this issue? I'm using version (Blender 5.0.1)

I've been using Blender for about 2 years now and i really enjoyed The Mentalist so when i was watching the show i saw this room and decided to try and Recreate it. the Red John Face was made by @/javeriakhan01 on Fiverr.
