  1. Budget (including currency): Lower is better. Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: HDR gaming and movies; computer runs both VR and TV... want to put the box in the room with the best AC and run a line out. 10G to a mini micro only gives me SDR and laaaaaaaag. Other details: I saw the optical thunderbolt video and I'd like to find another option besides a 1500$cad cable + hubs + expansion cards by the time yer done. Just trying to get this 800w spaceheater out of the living room. Ideas?
  2. title, even with a new brick. Guessing something is going... Anyone else having this issue? 2hr battery life on 10+hr flights is rage inducing. Ever tried inflight entertainment? its terrible, trust me. TBF it spends 80% of its life crunching data in hotel rooms or gaming... probably cooked something inside it? Who makes good bang-for-buck laptops in '23? I'm not interested in paying the shiny tax; theft target.
  3. Heat is exponential, a 50% clock reduction will remove the heating issues and greatly reduce demand to ~40w, totally viable on a mobile platform. 400$ chip, 400$ card... even with the laptop tax it shouldn't be over 3k unless you're putting too much weight on making your box a fashion statement. I don't really follow the industry anymore since getting a cushier job, I just want a travel laptop that has some actual grunt behind it without popping breakers or weighing 25lbs. From what I can gather, those chips are simple, small, overpowered, and easy to mass produce. Won't be long before we see them everywhere. Makes sense to me to see them go all in with that 3d cache tech.
  4. Want a 7800x3d mobile [shown super power efficient, perfect mobile chip if under-clocked no?] and a power efficient 7600 card [after that memory sharing] 96wh battery. 17 inch, decent cooling. Pricing under 3k preferred.

    32:9 2160p?

    Does it exist yet? Is anyone working on one?
  6. Here's a strange request for anyone in the know. I have been tasked to set up monitoring stations, that take images at 10 minute intervals... in the middle of nowhere. These stations are in northern canada at the far extents of the cell network. Ideally I would like a webcam all in one solution that can automatically take an imagine and transmit. I've looked into trail or critter cams, but they appear to only be motion sensor activated. So my question is this: are there any that someone knows is capable of a time-lapse mode (take interval photo->transmit). Will be hooking up to a 12v battery bank and solar system. Before I go and take the time to construct a fleet of super complex razpi, I'd like to know if there's a simple plug and play option. Thanks guys!
  7. I'm looking for a super-ultra-wide monitor that is essentially 2x 4k displays glued together. It will be replacing my current 2x 1080 gaming monitors on individual mounts. It MUST be mountable on an arm. don't care about refresh rate. Good colours are required [mostly used for video editing]. Do they even exist yet? When do you think we might see them?
  8. Solved: Asus tuf Ryzen, just released. Battery is lacking but everything else checks out. 1200CAD
  9. Yes, from the tower.... hence the wanting "a 65inch monitor"
  10. Like the title says, I just want a TV that has an HDMI input(s); signal goes in, signal gets displayed. Like a monitor, but you know... 65 inches. All programming runs off the tower, no need for that crappy painfully slow smart stuff. Is this a thing that even exists? ...Or am I looking exclusively at projectors now?
  11. VR makes me sick... in some games, not others. Isolated problem to pushing frames. Whats the most powerful frame monster money can buy with an AIO and some serious overclocking headroom attached? I'm taking 120 as its minimum output here. Single cards only (I've been down the SLI road before and never again).
  12. I need a good case with oodles of ports; cat 6, hdmi, lots of usb - for work equipment... but don't need the most powerful or expensive internals, I can bump up my own ram and nvme.... essentially an easy custom build if i didnt need it in laptop format... what are my options? OR i5, 1050, swappable ram and nvme slots, cat6 & hdmi, 95wh bat, - under 1500$
  13. Can't use dongles, custom software does not allow.
  14. 6 hours running full screen & IO during missions in a turbulent plane with intermittent power input, metal = scratch & impact resistant (plastic gear gets obliterated if we get neg-G turbulence, also less RF shielding). weight depends on component balance, no specific number but I have to haul ass with it so lighter is better- under 10lbs full package. Canada.
  15. ports are required for the work equipment. non-negotiable must haves.
  16. Hello, It's laptop replacement time once again as my current travel companion is literally falling apart. Requirements: Professional look, no ROG unicorn barf. Metal exterior- Can withstand united airlines. 95 w/h battery. i5 or similar 16+GB or up-gradable ram slots. Gtx1050 or similar for some lite gaming. NVME SSD. Must have: HDMI, **Sturdy** cat6 port, 2x usb3 standard ports for the work equipment it plugs into. Size and weight isnt too much of an issue, but i would prefer smaller and lighter. 15 inches, a few pounds. Performance isnt as important as future-proofing. Ideally a razor blade, (15 inches with oodles of ports), but not 3 grand. $1000-1500 would be ideal. Ideas?
  17. That's literally all I want. A giant 65 inch 4k monitor. Or a TV with a passthrough function. Refresh doesn't matter so much as latency. It's slave to the tower so all the fancy smart TV BS is not wanted. Just a few HDMI in for the pc, xbox, ps4, etc. QLED is prefered, but lowest price (if there's even an option at 65" lol) would be nice.
  18. I have an odd request, not sure how to phrase it. Not so much a techno use issue so much as a power issue. I have a set of powered clothing I used for my job, all (vest, gloves, hat) fed by USB 5v making battery packs cheap but Not strong. I love the gear as its an affordable way to keep the cold from sinking in after 8 hours in -20c. (alternative offerings from dewalt are passing the 800 dollar mark, and their batteries dont last that much longer from what I've seen). It EATS battery packs for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a late night snack if im doing overtime. These packs last anywhere from 3-6 months until the charge in them becomes so useless Its time to move on. So what I'm asking for is a round up of all battery packs; their ports, power outputs, lifespan under full load, and cycles before charge depletion. Also, a "pc in a suitcase" build would be cool to see for us work camp guys (right now im running a microatx with projector)
  19. Looking to build a new media workstation//gaming rig. Wondering how small I can make it & how much it would cost in both money and performance to do it. Requirements: Ryzen 8core + AIO 2fan for OC. As much ram as you can possibly pack in there. Adobe is a pig. 1060-6 or a 1070 if mining ever cools down. NVME system + SSD Scratch. Storage is over NAS 10gb ethernet because uncompressed 4k scrubbing over nas.
  20. If I had room for a rack I'd totally grab that as a render box.....
