Bottom line is that MS is really bad at marketing and supporting its portable market - has been ever since zune. Too slow to update, they come up with exciting ideas with no follow through or pull support after the beta, hardware updates too slow, patchy, no roadmap. I prefer wp to ios/droid...

Thanks, will try unplugging and booting.

It doesn't show in disk management, which is suppsedly normal for whichever raid is for mirroring drives.

Yea, the second CPU is on a riser card with it's own RAM slots. Another issue - it has 2x 250GB HDD installed but only one shows up in file manager/disk management. I suspected it was set up as a RAID mirror but 'drives' section in the BIOS also shows only one HDD. 'SATA operation' is set to...

I got a used workstation after a long time of owning only apple laptops. It's a Dell T5500, 2x Xeon E5620, 1x 16G RAM module, 1x 2GB RAM module to activate the second CPU, Nvidia Quadro 2000. Questions: - Is the 2GB RAM module for CPU #2 too small? Not sure how it works. - The GPU is...

buy a deep cycle battery not a car battery, add an inverter and you're set. Add a small solar panel/morningstar charge controller and your computer is practically off grid.

I have an old Dell T3500 workstation with W3530, looking to upgrade the CPU - will the W3690 be a straight fit? (edit: I guess what I'm asking is, what's the best CPU I can drop in this?) The computer is used for basic architectural rendering.

I wouldn't call it being 'rammed' to have 2-3 usb-c ports. Or even a USB 3 port. It's a bit silly to release something that is compatible with absolutely nothing without a dongle. Releasing something before it's useful is not 'innovation'.

ok my bad, first I ever used was ssd and I was pleasantly surprised

The verge review (or was it engadget?) said that performance suffered with ten tabs open so even as a 'just to go online' computer it doesn't work.

It was but it was also one of the first laptops with SSD as standard and everyone thought the performance was great. We can't say the same about the macbook.

Making things thinner and lighter has diminishing returns. There are ridiculous arguments going on about 200g and 2mm differences between the macbook and other computers. When the macbook is compared to similarly priced and sized computers that are much more powerful the fanboy retort is that...

thanks for the replies you were right.

Depends which software you need to to be using. The higher end Thinkpads are good quality and can be specced with great screens. Most thinkpad reviews test a base spec and complain about low spec without mentioning the options available.

Can someone explain this? I'm at a loss. Drive in question is 'samsung ssd'. Compare the available space from 'get info', disk utility & daisydisk. (let me know if you can't see the pictures)

on this forum? Don't think so.

This pretty much sums up my reaction when I read about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHZ8ek-6ccc

No, the Ips are different

The router is a crappy TP LINK TL-WR741ND. I can't upgrade it is it isn't my connection (it's included with my accommodation). Whenever another user joins the network, e.g. by waking their laptop from sleep, we lose internet connectivity. I can still ping google, skype works and for some reason...

I haven't opened the case in over a year but I'll try a new cable. It's a late 2012 MacBook pro. Any suggestions where to get the cable from? Thanks fur the help!
