    Haswell refreshed Thinkpads announced

    I've had the T440s for a few weeks now so if anyone's interested in buying one soon, allow me share some thoughts. The FHD display is gorgeous. It has a 100% sRGB gamut and a 800:1 contrast ratio. The viewing angles aren't the best for a IPS-type panel, but it's still vastly better than any TN...

    1200$ new office/workstation laptop purchase

    I recommend looking into the 15-inch MBP (quite over budget starting at $1900 at .edu prices) or the Thinkpad T540p (probably end up being about $1400 with a 2880x1620 screen) that's coming out shortly. Both can be had with excellent specs and their lines are known for being pretty robust and...

    New 4th gen Thinkpads are finally here

    I'd email your suggestion to their engineering team or design team if you wish to have this in future models. I'm not being sarcastic, just saying that's how you can reach them with your ideas. Even if you convince us it's not going to amount to much. Personally, I think compromises MUST be...

    290/290x availability thread

    Yup this is fairly normal. Price gouging was pretty hilarious when 5850 was the performance/$ card.

    AMD Radeon R9 290X Video Card Review @ [H]

    Nice thorough review! Very nice from AMD, able to get that much performance and some future-proofing at 4K resolution on the same process node. The price is great too, not much to say there. Hopefully non-stock and aftermarket coolers alleviate the heat/noise issue.

    Tom's Hardware: R9 290x likely faster than Titan (4K benches inside)

    I wonder how good the frame latency is.

    Tom's Hardware: R9 290x likely faster than Titan (4K benches inside)

    Post your New Ivy Bridge Processor Thermals, Type of Cooling, and First Impressions:

    Hey all, just got my 3570k and punched in a modest OC to 4.7 using a 0.110 offset. I'm finding the temps uncomfortably high (75-80 C), but only in stress-testing applications. In gaming and everyday use I'm seeing them top out about 10-15 C lower. So I'm working on going higher, tweaking 4.8. :)...
