Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
It's not really marketing hype, glass is chosen for it's scratch resistance. Acrylic "glass" (like plexiglass) is a plastic, and while much more shatter resistant, it doesn't have near the scratch resistance as glass. It works for eyeglasses because compared to a smartphone it gets handled much...
In the same vein, measured statistics don't automatically lose credibility because the data doesn't fit the preconceived popular opinion. What the charts are missing for a more comprehensive picture is the number of users polled per device, most recent previous device, and how much they paid...
It's not really fair to say the desktop monitor technology stagnated. The pattern of increasing pixel density stopped, but when it "settled" at 1080p, prices began dropping.
Music is usually recorded in 2-channel stereo, surround enhancement always makes it sound pretty bad in my opinion, unless it was recorded in surround(pretty rare).
Surround is just a DSP effect, enabling it on the motherboard chipset, and just plugging straight in will have the same result as...
I can get it to send different signals to the different devices, for example, media player through one device, and windows sounds to other, but not the same signal to both devices. Test signal is an example, since it's 2 different sources.
EDIT: OK so after some digging around, Windows can't...
Not sure what your hardware setup is, but Windows won't allow me to send the same signal through 2 different devices.
My external audio interface however allows me to duplicate the analog audio through SPDIF. The SPDIF connector isn't optical either, so would require another device to convert.
My 5.5lbs T520 can get cumbersome to carry around one-handed due to the distribution of the weight. The T420 was about a half pound lighter, but took up less planar space and was quite a bit more convenient. I'd say up to about 6lbs in a 15.6in is the limit for one-handed rapid relocation and...
I'd say if you can deal with the lack of a dedicated GPU, the Thinkpad X230 might be up your alley. Otherwise you could wait for the upcoming Trinity laptops, that should give you dedicated-like GPU at this form factor.
I think you might be confusing the Adreno 220 and the 225. The 220 was made to compete with the single core SGX540. The 225 is a beast in comparison.

I think the S3 2GB RAM pretty much nulls whatever anyone else can bring at this point, but then I like to browse on my phone like its a desktop. At least until the next round of devices.
It's because it is. SAMOLED is pretty notorious for oversaturation and tinted white levels. Some people swear by it, and they either don't know and don't care, or know and don't care enough. Images on screen just don't look like what I'm looking at.
