So, the same things my 14" 1080p Intel i3-1215 based Lenovo Thinkpad Chromebook with 4GB RAM excels at, for $300 USD to the door. The screen is bright, colorful, and has good angles. The speakers are great. YouTube and image heavy sites like Amazon and Pintrest load and scroll smoothly. Google...

I have to agree with you. These SSDs definitely have their place in the market. Personally, I picked up the 1TB version for use with my FX-8320 / GTX1660 / M5A97 R2.0 system, because even with the $15 PCIe adapter it was the same price as a similarly low-end 1TB SATA drive. Even limited to the...

No, you don't. That is hyperbole. Here in the real world the Netflix and Disney+ apps from the Microsoft store run perfectly fine on my Lenovo 100e Gen1 laptop running Window 10 Pro. It is a cheap model that was designed for the educational market. Its specs are, CPU: Intel Celeron N3450 (4...

Yeah, let's see Apple "magically" produce a mobile GPU that doesn't infringe on the patents related to PowerVR, Adreno/Radeon, or Geforce technology. Given how Apple poached people from Imagination, it's pretty clear that Apple intends to simply steal the technology now and let the courts sort...

That will run blender just fine, but it will take a long time to render. I don't believe Blender supports rendering on the Intel integrated GPU, so you'll be limited to rendering on 4 threads on the CPU. Likely won't be too bad for small scenes, but it will be really slow for super detailed...

If you already own the FX-8350, honestly it's good enough for those games. I run my FX-8320 locked at 4GHz with turbo off and it's plenty good enough for Guild Wars 2, Planetside 2, Elite Dangerous, World of Warcraft, and Torchlight II. If you're into things like video encoding and compiling...

Q: What's max number of shaders you can pack into a 4 CPU Core Zen APU?

Thinly veiled advertisement...

$1800, Dual core CPU, 2106... Yeah, no. You can keep that. Iris Pro is only a little better in than an AMD APU in some things, so it's not like the product is magical or whatnot. Typical Apple product, way too much money for the specs you get.

Elite Dangerous IS boring most of the time. I mean, I once took a mission where I had to literally do nothing at all for 14 minutes as my shop flew hundreds of times the speed of light from one star to another in a system. You know, God forbid they allow you to jump into a system at the other...

Of course, in Canada the basic 1050 is $200+ on Newegg: https://m.newegg.ca/ProductList?keyword=Gtx%201050&sortField=PRICE AMD prices are always around MSRP, but Nvidia is always way too price gouging... Btw our dollar is sitting at $0.74 USD today and our min/average wages are roughly the...

I'd love to see a "best passively cooled yet useful" and a best "CUDA/OpenCL for under $150" added to this. Nice considerations for modest/home workstations for content creators.

Haed drives hit the market 1956, not the 1980s. Rubber tires were invented in 1845 and it doesn't look like humanity will stop using them any time in the next 100 years. SATA and rotational drives serve valid purposes in many markets. They aren't going away any time soon either.

People crying about SATA being old and outdated and super slow. Such histrionics... Rubber tires folks, rubber tires.

I said to look at Newegg.ca, not to scour the internet to find specific items that match your contrary agenda. The exchange rate cor the Canadian dollar has fluctuated from 0.59 all the way to 0.84 in the last few months, from my casual observation. Using a single retailer, Newegg in this case...
