    HP Spectre x2

    Just read this review of the new Spectre x2 2-in1: http://hothardware.com/reviews/hp-spectre-x2-review Looks solid. Best Buy has the base Core m3 model (includes LTE and keyboard, but no stylus) for $699 right now. Anyone rocking one of these or have hands-on experience?

    Dead SSD? (OCZ Agility 4)

    I've been using an OCZ Agility 4 120GB SSD as a Windows 10 boot drive for awhile now. Today I was on the computer, reading wiki when all of a sudden the computer spontaneously rebooted to Windows 8.1 (stored on another drive on the same system). Windows 8.1 couldn't see the drive with 10 on it...

    PSA: Update to iOS 7.0.6/6.1.6

    There's a bug in the SSL implementation of all previous versions of iOS that can allow an attacker with a foothold on your network (or another nefarious user on a public WiFi hotspot) to perform a man-in-the-middle attack on any SSL/TLS secured connection. If you ever connect to public WiFi for...

    UEFI compatible BIOS for Tahiti 7870

    I recently got an XFX 7870 OC with a Tahiti LE core for a new build. I got everything installed and went to switch to UEFI mode in the mobo setup so I could install Windows 8.1, but doing so killed the video. I removed the card and tried doing the same thing a couple different ways, but every...

    Just got a $100 Apple gift card, but I already have all the Apple stuff I need right now. You can use this on Apple products online or in-store, as well as on iTunes for apps, books or music. Anyone want to trade an Amazon card for my Apple one?

    Max Payne 3 - $6

    I believe this is the lowest it's been for the base game. The Complete Pack (includes Season Pass) has been $8 before at GameFly though, so not the best deal if you want the DLC. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832137017

    iPad Air

    Anyone gotten an iPad Air yet? I tried one out at the AT&T store today on my lunch break and was quite impressed. I thought for certain I was going with the Retina Mini, but now I'm not so sure. The reduced weight and the thinner side bezel makes a huge difference when holding the device in...

    WTB: iPad mini, Sprint iPhone 4/4S

    I'm looking to purchase at least one iPad mini. Shoot me a PM with what you have and how much you want for it. I'm especially interested in units that are jailbroken (or on iOS 6.1.2 or below) and/or ones with LTE. I'm also looking for at least one iPhone 4 or 4S for Sprint. Again, preference...

    Best way to search FS/FT under New Search?

    On its face, the new search seems somewhat less useful for searching FS/FT, since it doesn't preserve the "last post" time and won't allow a proper sort by it. This results in quite a few threads being returned that are old or where the items searched are no longer for sale. So far the best...

    New Google Maps for iOS

    The new Google Maps is out for iPhone. It has turn-by-turn, pseudo-3D and all that good stuff. Also has public transit routing (Apple's biggest oversight in iOS 6 Maps, IMO). Has anyone tried it yet? An iPad version is coming soon so I have to wait to check it out, but I'm curious how it...

    Intel 330 Series 180GB SSD - $140AR @ Newegg

    Newegg has this 180GB Intel SSD for $140 after $60 MIR. This is the async NAND 330 series, as opposed to the synchronous NAND 520 series. Still an excellent drive for the money, though. Clickable and copy/paste links (for your pleasure)...

    Looking for a discontinued Hyper-V Manager by 5nine

    5nine used to provide a free version of their Hyper-V Manager with limited functionality. They no longer offer this version and I don't have it archived anywhere.

    Does Radeon HD 6310 (APU Onboard Video) Support Dual-Link DVI?

    I'm looking at a cheap E-350 system to drive a 27" digital sign. It's 2560x1440 resolution, and I'm curious if a Radeon 6310 supports dual-link DVI and can drive a display of this size. I don't care about 3D performance at this res, just 2D. Anyone know if this config works?

    Looking for Bluetooth Headphones (not Earbuds)

    I'm looking for a set of BT wireless headphones. Would be handy if they also had a microphone for taking calls, but not strictly necessary. I don't want earbuds or IEMs, these should be headphones. I don't have a strong preference for open- or closed-style cans and am interested in...

    Thunderbolt to SATA options?

    I'm getting a new 27" iMac at work and I'm looking for a way to hook up a SSD to it over Thunderbolt. It's $600 for Apple to put a 256GB SSD in it from the factory (in addition to the standard 1TB HDD), which seems steep, but the options from 3rd parties don't appear that much better. LaCie...

    Can we come up with a better way to keep new users out of the FS/FT forum?

    50 posts is a great starting point, however it just encourages spammers to post 50 posts worth of junk under the radar so they can come to FS/FT and peddle their wares. Most of the time these posts are like "oh yeah I liked that too" or "should of gone AMD" (in the NVidia/Intel forum) and other...

    How does the "infraction" system work?
