    captainespinoza got a reaction from elfensky in New Google DeepMind System Makes Voice Reproduction Breakthrough

    Before you read have a look at the Google post in the beginning, and listen the the differences that can be heard in the Google post above. The new voice generations sound much more natural than any existing system. This is achieved by perfecting the regression model that is used to ingest data and produce the appropriate sounds. 
     
    We now have the capacity to make real life talking waifus. On a different note, this is an exciting breakthrough in artificial speech production. How soon we will see these systems in our daily lives is unknown, as true application is difficult, and, also, Google.

    Rather stranger answer, as this was a line output issue, not relating to how on board speakers sound lol. Figured out it was a pre-install that had reverb turned all the way up. EDIT - Word

    Meh, alright then.
     
    For the Acer V Nitro, I don't like the keyboard a lot, it has very very little travel and it feels like it's crap to type on for me. But if you're fine with it, then I don't think it would be an issue for you. It is a very slim machine, and when my aunt got the 850M variant, I was rather taken aback by the size of it. The trackpad is not the best in the world, but it is good enough. For heat output, because the 850M variant only has one heat vent and one fan, it was a little hot at times, but not hot to the point where it is a toaster. The IPS panels are alright, with rather vibrant colours.
     
    The Lenovo Y50 is like the hot favourite amongst many people here in the forums. Anyone asking for a $1k laptop would be suggested a Y50. I have not really used it before, if you need more info, you should do some googling around.
