I would go 580 for more “future proofing”. GCN ages better and future games are starting to use more DX12. The 4GB is a good value, but 8GB comes with the faster VRAM out of the box

Yea I have a case that has a kickstand I kinda just want the stand without the case. Something like the one found on the surface.

Hi guys, was just wondering if there are any good stick on kickstands for tablets like the ipad 10.5? The surface pro has such a good kickstand and it's so slim, it kinda sucks having to snap on some heavy case on my iPad just to have a portable kickstand.

Honestly I think it is a great mouse but the battery life is pretty mediocre if you play for extended periods of time. So I would wait for the power pad thing to come out and then get it.

The X1 carbon, that costs a lot less.

Well I just tried them briefly at the store and I might just gun for the Pro. I want to take handwritten notes on it and the Pro is the only one that supports this. The screen on the new iPad Pro is also pretty amazing. Also, with iOS 11 coming, I don't think the A9 chip can keep up with all the multitasking that can go on. The pencil is pretty expensive though. Are there any good alternatives?

Alright I'll take the advice to go for an ipad then. The surface pro 5 isn't even here in Singapore yet and it has some backlight bleed issues. Pro or just normal? The screen is such a huge boon though.

Thing is. The Surface Pro 2017 has this backlight issue. Should I just save a couple of bucks and go with the Pro 4 instead?

To be honest if we are just talking about tablets here I would say the iPad does have the best eco-system. While the lock down thing is true to a certain extent, I mostly use cloud services to get by and it works wonders. With apps like Transmit and VLC for iOS, I barely feel locked down at all. If we are talking about phones, I would say Android is better, but Apple really does know how to make a good tablet. Either way, all I need the tablet for is watching videos, music sheet and being my notepad. Everything else is going to be done with a laptop (or laptop mode if I go surface). Would an iPad + laptop still be better than a Surface?

The iPad Pro 10.5 (256GB) (No pen/KB) over here is 1118 SGD Surface Pro 4 (i5, 256GB, 8GB) with Keyboard here is 1567 SGD Surface Pro 5 isn't released here yet, I expect it to be around 1.8k SGD? So if I were to get the iPad, the Pro variant is pretty hard to justify. The 120hz screen, 4 speakers and much faster processor might convince me somehow though. So the Surface keyboard disables when you flip it backwards?

Hi guys. Recently, I found myself really in need of a tablet. Right now I am using an Asus UX305 and while I am very happy using it, there are some use cases where a tablet would really fit in better. I play live music so it would be nice to have a tablet be my song sheet, I also really like the idea of using a stylus to take notes on it, and also I can whip out a tablet on a commute or at the workplace and easily chuck it away when I am done with it. So right now I have 2 main choices. First is to keep my UX305 and buy a $600 iPad (non pro) or sell my UX305 and get a $1700 Surface Pro 5. How does the Surface perform as a tablet? While all the reviews say that it is very good as a laptop replacement, none of them says how good it is as a tablet. The thing I'm worried about with the Surface s the keyboard, unlike the Yoga series from Lenovo, the keyboard doesn't disable itself when its flipped to the back. Does turning on tablet mode in Windows 10 disable the keyboard? Seems kinda weird having to detach the keyboard and put it away somewhere whenever I want to use it as a tablet. iOS 11 really made me consider getting an iPad. With the new multitasking options and the files app, it offers a lot more utility than just being a multimedia slate. Honestly, the laptop + ipad combo really makes sense at this stage considering how expensive the Surface Pro is. But the idea of carrying around two machines in my bag kind of bugs me. I'm also not a fan of the Surface Pro not having thunderbolt. Maybe I should just wait a year for the new new surface pro? What do you guys think?

Alright thanks! About the nextcloud / owncloud thing, I don't think my Synology NAS supports it.

Oh. I don't have a certificate though. Any ways I can get one for free?

You're right, I forgot to forward the PASV ports and now the ftptest site shows no errors. I'm now also able to connect via ftps on my local network. A small victory! However FTPS still doesn't work remotely. No matter how many times I entered the right credentials, I would still come back to this screen.

Both 21 and 22 has been port forwarded on the router. I'll try 990 and see if it works. Could firewall affect this? I have disabled SPI.
