Anyone going/ gone to poor man's Computex this year?

[That Norwegian Guy]

One benefit of AMD being late this time is that they have something to show at CES, meaning it won't ALL be smurtfones and smurtcars and smurtrefrigerators, your grandma's notepad and similar yucky things this year.

 

In addition there's the wave of HDR monitors to check out (though, knowing CES, most companies will bring a TV or two and give you a blank stare if you ask about monitors)

 

If anyone's going, I have a request: see if you can sneak into wherever the Ryzen demo machine is and put your hand on the CPU heatsink for science.

I hope they will have WIFI, RGB lighting, quick charge and are runing over 5GHz with 32GB RAM now

At least the soldering job will be so nice you'll want to frame it.

 

Which is probably the best use you'll get out of it.

If we're honest, that's not the worst possible getaway I've seen in case your, erm, planned evening is not going as planned.

Ha, thats funny ... because it's true!

 

At least I'm happy that they still manufature them with more than one thunderbolt port, I hate those special wax dongle thingys you need to use when you neet to plug an Rj45 ethernet kable in them, imagine you would have to do that for simply USB devices, too  

The worst is that they also melt down in less than an hour, too. They really need to use sturdier wax components for these iCandles  (and mind that their graphics chips broke year by year just organic junk)

CES is not some poor man's computex. That shit is expensive and you need to be part of the tech industry to get in. Computex, which is 5 months away, allows regular people to go in and check it out. No kids doe.

"Poor man's" is synonymous to "pale copy of" and refers to being poor in spirit and worthiness, not literally for the poor.
