Unfortunately my university doesn't have publisher included in their agreement. I hadn't yet got around to looking at inkscape, and I'm about to check out that list now

I had no luck with this, however I did stumble across scriber, but that is proving to be rather tedious to even make text look decent

I'm hesitant to use powerpoint because it doesnt use standard page sizes, also the inDesign doesn't have a purchase price, only a subscription which is more than office 365 unfortunately.

Hi there, wondering if anyone knows of any alternatives to publisher, I recently found out I have a need for publisher, as I'm looking at geting into document design and publishing, and that it didn't come with the office bundle that I brought. not overly keen on purchasing just publisher as it is over $150 where I only paid $200 for the whole bundle I brought previously. I dont really want to pay that much for this type of software, nor take out a 365 subscription to get it. so if anyone knows of any similar alternatives that'd be amazing

I did a quick google, and found some form of definition A gaming computer is a personal computer designed for playing computationally demanding video games. Due to the integration of common hardware components onto the motherboard since the 1990s, a modern gaming computer is comparable to a mainstream computer with the addition of a performance-oriented video card. (from wikipedia but a definition none the less) I agree with this definition, except I've found multitude of examples which don't meet this criteria. But then you get lower end Pc's for more affordable budgets that can play AAA games at 1080p 59hz let's say, Is it at that point, not a gaming pc? That's something to think about. quoting for notification

I would like to have Ebay ammend their description policy and include a way to report false advertising ( the following is from Ebay's Item description policy) Information in a listing helps buyers decide whether to buy an item and what to expect when they receive the item. Not allowed Including conflicting product information in a listing. This policy is in place to help buyers know what they will receive, and the terms of sale around an item. As marketing the PC as Gaming is misleading and is as started by the description policy not what the customer "excpects when they recieve the item" as they are expecting and such marketing a computer as Gaming as is basically the equivilent of describing a sports car but the car which they actually purchase is the same or worse than they currently have

I know that but not everyone does research, or is able to understand why a certain component is better And this is what I'm trying to work out so I actually have a point to make

so basically any graphics card more than $150 AUS or like a gtx 1030

Hi everyone, So while prowling around Ebay and came across Gaming PC's for what reason I have no idea. I started looking at some, and something which peaked my interest was that a majority of the PC's which were being marketed as 'Gaming PC's ' would have had very limited gaming potential AT ALL, with the best piece of hardware being an i7 being bottlenecked by absolutely everything else, and having absolutly no GPU whatsoever. I would like to change that so that inexperienced buyers are not mislead and severly disappointed when they open their fancy looking PC to find that it barely runs minesweeper (maybe not true but you know what I'm getting at). So in your opinion, What makes a gaming PC, and the reason for it being called so? Thanks everyone who submits something as I dont think it is fair that people are being mislead.

I have both a pc running Gnome and a vm, neither work. I did check for it and it isnt there... I'm going to try the work around listed on the foxtel site and see how it goes

Hi, So I'm having issues with my Foxtel now when I try and run it on Gnome. I continuously get an error stating that my chrome browser is not up to date and that it needs to be udated. However it runs the same version of chrome as my windows pc which works fine. (red and black theme is my usual browser other is Gnome I run on a VM so I can play with it without using the pc that runs it If anyone has a suggestion as to why it doesn't work and how to fix it, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance - Ramke

where do we even find this out?? This has got me quite concerned honestly

I have only found 1 of these and australian computer prices are ridiculous so $800 = ~$1900

that makes sense ...

as in transfer of files on and off networks ?? the omen is around a similar price point as the xps and the battery life is a big selling point for me...not entirely sure why though

Ahh. someone who knows... is there a lot of CAD work in the course? and also does battery life have a major impact??

Hi, I had a similar thread about which laptop I should consider getting for Uni to study mechanical engineering, I was originally planning on getting a dell xps 15 because of the dedicated gpu. However, I already have a PC which is more than capable of handelling CAD modelling Is it justifiable to get the xps 15, so that I would be able to do CAD work wherever, or would I find that it is overlapped by my pc, by not needing to do CAD work often enough to justify the laptop?? any responses greatly appreciated- ramke

so keep consistencty between the components being picked

if you aren't going to overclock the cpu, wouldn't a 6700 make more sense, that is a solid board though theres a difference of ~$60 between the 6700k and the 7700 so depending on the application would it be justified? and theres only minor diffences between the h270f and the z270f which may not be utilised by the op as they arent overclocking the cpu

okay so I have a Logitech z906 sysytem connected to the optical output on my motherboard (gigabyte z170 x gaming5 ) and when I watch movies the decode light comes on and locks me out of changing the rear and centre levels. any suggestions as to how to work around this the 5.1 works fine when I'm listening to music

thanks. In hindsight though i probably should of went with less power draw and ran cooler

ahh. yep I hadn't came across that yet and it does look silmilar peering through the window. thankyou

so I've got a gigabyte g1 R9 390x in my red and black themed build and I want to know if anyone has done this mod to change the LED's on the cooler from blue to red in the desctiption there is a link to SMD LED's so I'm assuming those are soldered to the PCB of the card. Many thanks- Ramke

i got to have a little bit of a play with one in JB Hi Fi on monday and it is the size that i want it. I looked at litterally every laptop in the store and none of them really matched the XPS 15. they had the touch screen model instore and the touch felt really good I also looked at the surface book and didn't like it as much as i thought i would even in general not for my specific purpose, that and it would be more than I am willing to spend on a laptop.
