Garbage screens on anything less than 16-inches, and the GPU option is a last-gen, 4GB 3050? Yuck.

Definitely. I hate that all DLSS features are getting lumped together, so we only get numbers with everything or without anything. Frame generation, in particular, needs to be broken out. It's almost certain you can get playable frames just using upscaling without relying on frame gen.

These do not appear on Asus's website. What is the source for this?

Not sure why the author beats on the "no integrated wi-fi" drum. Desktop systems are largely stationary, and many certainly use ethernet for the network connection rather than wi-fi, as they should. Having the option to purchase a board without a wi-fi chipset, which would be a useless component...

They can claim anything they like. Doesn't mean it would hold up in a legal case. It's really odd to me that people will argue so vociferously against their own rights, even to the point of being objectively wrong.

Please stop spreading this FUD. You cannot void a warranty by opening up a system, breaking a "warranty seal", or even replacing components. Unless Sony can prove that something you did caused the issue that you are claiming warranty coverage for, they are legally required to honor the warranty.

Yeah so I replaced the CMOS battery and... nadda. No change. The voltage thing with the RAM could be it I suppose, but it would've been an issue back when I first built it too. If I remember right, it had no trouble POSTing, but I had to make sure to set the RAM to 1.65v for stability (and I...

Yes that was my first thought but since putting the old RAM back in (or even reducing to a single stick) did not resolve the problem, it seemed less likely. I can see that, but that wouldn't prevent POST would it? Wouldn't that just make BIOS setting reset after every power cycle? I'll try...

Oh yes sorry I forgot to mention I had tried clearing the CMOS (pulling the battery). It had no effect... well sort of. Let me add another wrinkle; I'm not sure if it's meaningful or not. When powering on, the computer will actually turn itself off after a couple of seconds, and then a couple...

So, I recently purchased a set of 2x4GB RAM modules to add to the 2x4GB set I already had installed installed. Today, I tried installing them. It has not turned out well. First thing that happened is the RAM LED on the mobo came on and the computer isn't getting to POST (just a black screen). I...

I wouldn't exactly say this is "useless" for any device without a built-in Bluetooth chipset, considering you can buy your own Bluetooth USB dongle for dirt cheap that will work with any Bluetooth product just fine.

... That same justification can be used for never buying anything. There's always something new around the corner. Also, ever heard of delays? They happen. Often. For every company. Arctic Islands may not come out as soon as you think.

Generally a Monoprice fan, but the frame-skipping makes this monitor pretty unappealing for its intended market. Hopefully they can fix it with a firmware update.

Awesome, thanks for the teardown. Well worth the $26.35 it cost to get it over to you. Looks like these are good devices compared to other power strips in the same price range, even if the isolation doesn't hold up. I wonder if the Tripp-lite or any of the other companies in question get clued...
