    All 3 are USB-C docks. He does NOT have USB-C which is the whole stupid issue with that machine.

     

    That's why I wanted the company to wait for the pro 7. unfortunately Ill have to deal with not having USB-C .

    Hello everyone,

     

    My work recently purchased a surface pro 6 for me (they wouldn't wait for the 7) and I'm having some issues with lack of I/O availability.

    Only I/O is Mini display port and a single USB3 

     

    So I have been looking for a good USB 3.0 hub with the following requirements. (ive seen a few with display port pass-through) 

     

    Full Sized SD card reader 

    HDMI 

    Ethernet 

    A Few USB 3.0 ports

     

     

    I Would prefer a hub with a cable rather than directly attached to the surface.

    Price doesn't really matter. 

     

    I would love some recommendations and links.

     

    Thanks for the help!

    Should look for the P series then maybe, and it'll have a quadro that'll have optimized drivers for CAD software.

    Only a really big deal if your projects are huge though most likely, dunno the price difference.

    Not really worth the price increase. $1830 for the x1 and $2350 for the p1. Same spec the only difference being the GPU. 

    I would rather get more ram for a lower price.

    Ya but at 15" 1080p is already at 150 ppi, which is like a 27" 1440p display, you're going to end up using a lot of scaling with 4k at 15"

    thats a valid statement. X1 carbon extreme with the HDR 400 color corrected display may be my sweet spot.

    Thinkpad's docking system is unmatched as well.

    This computer is Primarily going to be doing CAD work in the field and programming of PLC systems

    Ethernet jack

    Under 5 pounds

    $2,500 USD 

    8th gen i7 or better.

     

    Current options. 

     

    Thinkpad X1 extreme gen 2 

    Gigabyte AREO 15x 

    DELL XPS 15 ( not a fan of the looks)

    Newly built computer will not boot after installing Windows updates.

    in Troubleshooting

    Posted

    I'm posting this for a friend; his younger brother recently bought the parts for a computer and came up this weekend to build it. I'd really like to have his first build be a successful one.

     

    Troubleshooting Help:

    What is your parts list?

    • MSI Z97 G45 gaming motherboard
    • EVGA GTX 960
    • Intel i5 4690K
    • Ballistix 16 GB RAM
    • Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD
    • Cooler Master 212
    • ASUS DVD RW optical drive

    Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive.

    We built the computer successfully and everything booted up. We installed the drivers for the wireless card first, then the for the GPU, then for the motherboard. We used Ninite to install several programs and that worked just fine. After that, we rebooted to check and the wireless was not working. We reinstalled the wireless drivers and the wireless worked once again. After that we rebooted to check the BIOS settings but instead let Windows install updates. We left the apartment when the computer was at 50 out of 202 updates and when we came back the computer was off and the motherboard would not power on at all.

    List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem.

    We have tested the PSU by jumping between the green pin and one of the black pins on the 24 pin connector. The PSU turns on and its fan spins. We also used a multimeter to test the continuity for the power switch and there is continuity when the button is depressed. We also checked the CMOS battery and under no load it had an output voltage of 3.1 Volts. We also cleared the CMOS.

     

    Edited the main post to better reflect the issues experienced.
