Ginge620 got a reaction from t_noob_ in Experiences with non-techies
So I was buying a Notebook to use when I travelled. This was the second PC world/currys I went to after returning my first Asus n56vz due to a build issue and they only had a replacement at the other shop. I arrive at the other shop and started to browse around, I knew what I wanted before getting there, the n56vz, this was a bigger shop and was just interested at the other stuff. One of the sales reps find me a start talking to me. Usually I say I'm fine thank you then they leave me alone but this time I thought let's see what you know. I point out to him that I had to return my first n56vz and just came to buy another but instead of agreeing he tried to sell me alternative. He shows me this other notebook and says things like the screen is bigger it has an i5 processor and it's a lower price. Note the n56vz has an 3610QM. I ask him what's the resolution of the screen and he goes blank. I do a quick check on the notebook and find it's only 1600x900 compared to 1920x1080 so the pixel density is lower, he was lost, didn't understand what I was talking about. He then tries again and says it has a Intel HD4000 GPU, but the n56vz has a dedicated Nvidia GT650M which is far better. I point out the screen was glossy not Matt and it was all plastic compared to the aluminium on the one I wanted. At this point he just gives up and goes to fetch the Asus notebook from stock.
So this just shows that some of these 'tech savy' sales reps really don't know what there talking about and can only read off stickers.

Ginge620 reacted to Captain_WD in Reliable good value NAS Drives
Hey Ginge620, Thanks for the support and for trusting WD Synology have a compatibility list with tested drives that work and should be reliable. My suggestion is to pick a NAS/RAID class drive that has the additional features such as TLER and VCT for smoother and safer performance. WD Red drives are good for this as they have a number of features and are fully compatible with the DS215J. Regardless of the manufacturer or the manufacturing process itself, any drive (regardless of the brand, model or purpose) can turn out to be DOA, but you can always go for a RMA procedure.

Anything can be doa.
WD Reds are good.

Ginge620 reacted to Archangel1994 in 350D to 450D worth upgrading?
Oh good, then the 450D is an excellent choice. The Arc Midi R2 and Phanteks Enthoo Pro are also worth looking at but the 450D is a great all-round case.
