  1. I guess that a lot of companies do this, but given that for online shopping you can just compare with several stores in just a few clicks I wonder why is this still happening. I think Amazon's actual price is always lower than the list price, I bought the same keyboard for a friend a few years ago and it was about $32 so the price has been constant. BTW, I really like how active this community is , I think I'll be around here often.
  2. I was browsing the offers from NCIX and I started searching for the price of several products that apparently had big discounts but I noticed that even after the discounts the price was usually higher at NCIX. For example Microsoft 4000 keyboard: - NCIX "weekly special" with advertised 38% discount: $38 http://m.ncix.com/products/sku/34942/1423 - Amazon with regular price: $29 http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000A6PPOK How does the discounts really work? Is this just false advertising or is there something that I'm totally missing? I would appreciate if someone from NCIX could step in and provide a clear answer. Thanks.
  3. I have to be honest, the best thing is the processor, this core i7 just crushes the ultrabook processors.
  4. Of course the main thing about the phone is the 1440p screen, but what I liked the most is the ability to customize how the keyboard's keys behave, I haven't found the perfect keyboard yet and this would allow me to do so.
  5. You clearly have no idea of what you're talking about, please read about flash file systems before spreading misinformation.Now, get off the S.S. SmartAss and move on. Nobody said this was a scientific study from the IEEE to contribute to the knowledge of mankind, it's a simple benchmark for a typical use case of SSDs from a YouTube channel where there are several non tech savvy people around. Your undergraduate attitude isn't helping people either, think about that first.
  6. I think you're missing the point. SSDs are faster, that's clear, but almost all the available benchmarks are done in ideal conditions which tells nothing to the user in the long run, and even though the video isn't the holly grail of storage benchmarks it gives you a solid proof that what a lot of people think about doing will come out as expected.
  7. Did you watch the intro of the video? They clearly say that this isn't the usual test, but a real life scenario where you have an HDD and you buy an SSD to clone the HDD, something very common these days. And why isn't the comparison fair? People don't care about the theoretical limits of untypical scenarios, the comparison is fair as it goes along with the typical use case. Try to be more open minded man, the video is useful and not an HDD-geek's fantasy, move on.
