  1. Wait so like, 990 Pro has the highest 4k random read or write scores across all other consumer SSDs, claimed read speed is 1400k IOPS and write speed is 1550k IOPS, beats any other consumer level SSD there is to date, how is it not the best SSD there is for gaming or day to day use? I mean if it is to be used as the primary drive, not the secondary drive? I agree that 990 P would be a waste of money as a secondary drive.
  2. Samsung 990 Pro 1T or 2T is the way to go as of December 2022
  3. Hi there, the XPS 17 seems to be a laptop that you can bring to work while being able to play some games on the side, it is relatively thin, has a 3060 graphics card and can have an up to i9 processor. Are there similar, 17 inch laptops that does a similar or better job? Being as portable, thin as possible while being able to do some light gaming on the side with a half decent or decent enough graphics card while having a very powerful CPU and various other office nice to haves such as a high resolution display?
  4. Hi there, I am looking at HP's Zhan X 16 inch AMD 6950HS laptop with 32GB ram. It seems to have amazing battery life and would be a killer machine for me to take it to work with. However is there such a long battery laptop, with Gaming Capacity, for example it comes with a small graphics card or such, that is convenient to carry around, with screen size around 15 or 16 inch as of December 2022?
  5. Hi there, I will eventually be looking for a gaming laptop, that can run GTA Online smoothly, and is as reliable as possible, that I will be travelling multiple times a year and take it with me in my backpack and travel frequently. What is the most reliable gaming laptop, 17 inches, as of 2022, that has the most sturdy structure, and reliable hardware design that would have the most chance of surviving being carried around in a backpack or a carry on suitcase on a weekly basis? Reliability is the utmost priority, as long as it can run GTA Online and Overwatch well, thickness is not an issue, but reliability and heat dissipation, and long term hardware durability! Thank you so much! I will be purchasing them from either Japan, South Korea, Taiwan or Singapore when I travel there later this year when they open up to general tourists and I will be travelling a lot among those countries therefore I have such a demand for long term durability and reliability. Thank you! It doesn't have to be thin because I'll transit the laptop between Airbnbs and Hotels and once it arrives at the destination it'll just sit on the table but it is the transiting part that requires the durability and long term reliability.
  6. For example, the T15G has 10.x hours under mm18, which is not as ideal but good enough in my opinion. Any other laptops in 2021 that would provide at least 10 hours of battery life, ideally 20 hours, excluding macs and chromebooks?
  7. That is a great suggestion too. Just that when I compare what I get for the hardware/GPU performance between the ThinkPad P series and top notch MSIs and Dell Gamings, I just don't feel like the money is well spent...
  8. Totally understandable. If after 5 years you'll only use it to browse the internet and do day to day office tasks, say paying water bills and filing taxes, would you say either Dell's or MSI's top notch laptop offered today *say it is equipped with 10980hk cpu or 10900k cpu) should do such tasks without much issues for the next 20 years?
  9. At least as of Today, would you say that Dell's M17 R4 with 10980HK and 3080 is pretty much the tippity top?
  10. Screen size bigger is better, performance faster is better, weight is no concern, future proof as many years as possible...
  11. Hi there, say if you have ample budget in the US, and you want to buy the best performance, most durable, long lasting laptop, without considering budget, and you might not be able to buy another one for 20 years, which model would you choose given the current products offered as of 2021? Budget is no issue as it could be the only laptop one gets for the next 20 years, but one can make upgrades 7-8 years down the road to a faster nvme or bigger ram etc etc
  12. Hi there, it seems to be very difficult to find a decent Windows Tablet (Stand alone with detached keyboard) in 2021. One tablet that I have been using is Dell 5285 with 8GB Ram and i5-7300U CPU. The built quality is in general fantastic so as the user experience. As of Jan 2021, for Windows Tablets with a decent enough CPU (not the Core M junk), is Dell 7210/7200 and Surface Pro 7 the only 2 viable options? Any other options besides the 2? And how does 1065G7 fare against the 10810U CPU? Which one is better in day to day office tasks?
  13. Hi there, I might be spending a couple of years in Mexico renting tiny apartments and life frugally, but might be moving between places due to potential safety concerns. What is the best best best gaming laptop, preferably a super powerful CPU and at least rtx 2070 graphics, with the most outstanding battery life there is on the market as of today? Budget isn't that much of a concern. I just like a super powerful gaming rig with absolutely outstanding, thinkpad t420 level battery life?
  14. any glass friendly VR sets that completely avoids and prevents physical glasses wearer from scratching either their glasses or the VR lenses?
  15. Will wait for 15 more years until glasses friendly VR gears come out.
  16. not buying VR,... too many people complaining either their glasses got scratched heavily or their VR lenses got scratched heavily. I rely my glasses for work and I paid 170 dollars for them and my glasses are 800 degrees. I ain't going to risk scratching either of those.
  17. Good afternoon! I all of the sudden wants to pay some VR chat, what's the best system to play VR chat? I wear glasses and I enjoy detailed graphics. Budget under 409 dollars. I can shop anywhere including ebay and amazon but it has to be new.
  18. Good morning, i've been checking my passport processing status daily on the DOS passport tracker, it shows the application has been received on the 30th but nothing has been updated since. I'll continue to wait indeed but does the status tracker change to "your passport has been shipped" at some point or it will continue to say the same thing even after the passport has been processed and shipped?
  19. Excellent point, Not the 6s plus is terribly slow, but everytime you load any app, there would be a painful duration of loading time until the youtube app becomes usable. The pausation duration is so long comparing to the iphone 7 plus it essentially is randered unable to switch back to after using iphone 7 plus. As of now I have not felt any of that leg on the 6 plus on my current 7 plus, but I concur with the 5-6 ios support replacement schedule.
  20. Good afternoon my dear friends, I was just playing with my iphone 7 plus, and I love it so much that I really do not want to drop another 1k on a new iphone. I only use my 7 plus on basic tasks such as youtube watching, mobile banking and IM chatting. Right now the speed is perfectly acceptable so as the battery life. I also have an iphone 6 plus and the speed is not acceptable to me anymore, just to give a comparison. If the main goal is to save as much money as long as I can without jeopardizing the user experience to the 6 plus level in Semtember 2019, how many years maximum can I use my iphone 7 plus to watch youtube and chat discord until the speed of the 7 plus will be deteriorating to the level of iphone 6 plus in 2019? Can I use it for 4-5 more years for my iphone 7 plus to watch youtube at current reaction speeds?
  21. Hi there, I have been craving affordable full windows tablets and finally made up my mind and purchased a Dell 5285 tablet with i5-7300u CPU, 8GB ram and 256GB SSD, costs me about 340 dollars. Should I have spent 160 dollars more to get the latest Dell 5290 which is equipped with i5-8350u? Am I going to see a massive under performance comparing to the 5290 model? I only use my tablet to browse the internet and watch youtube. Should I have spent 160 dollars more? Is the performance difference huge between 7300u and 8350u on most day to day uses? I do not game on these things nor do I edit anything. Just plain youtube and chrome.
  22. that is some solid answers! also, can I port my number on a Sunday from Virgin to Mint? My virgin service ends on the midnight of 17th, can I port it to Mint on the 17th? Mint mobile customer service work on the 16th (Saturday) not 17th, I got all the materials ready with me...
  23. Hi there, I use Virgin Mobile but am switching to Mint Mobile. My virgin mobile's service (prepaid) will end on the 18th of February, can I wait until the 17th (Sunday) to port my number from Virgin mobile to Mint Mobile? Because Virgin charges 50 a month for unlimited data talk text, I don't want to waste anything, so how long exactly does the porting take? 1 day? 10 minutes? Can I do it the day before my Virgin service terminates?
  24. Hi there, I have an AUTEL MaxiCheck MX 808. It is a professional Mechanic's tablet that talks to car's OBD sockets. However, sadly, the AUTEL Mx 808 doesn't have a built in speaker! Consequently I cannot watch youtube videos on it and it doesn't have a headphone jack! It has an USB 2.0, a Micro SD slot and an OTG Mini USB slot. That's it! It doesn't have bluetooth!!! So how do I make it generate some sound and connect it with my external speaker or something?
  25. That's exactly right! the Mi 8 literally looks like an iphone x replica but is selling like hotcakes in India and Europe, so why is Huawei being picked on so hard?
