    Early 2011 MacBook Pro or wait for Late 2011 Macbook Pro

    Why does everyone in here keep referring to a late-2011 MBP refresh? Could they push out optical drive-missing MBPs similar to the MBAs? Sure. But a full refresh won't likely occur until Ivy Bridge, with Ivy Bridge not even set for release until Q1 2012 at the earliest (with some talks of...

    HP Touchpad 16GB $99, 32GB $149, Active for .edu

    As of earlier today my CC still hasn't been charged (haven't checked since), so cancellation is still very much a possibility. :(

    HP Touchpad 16GB $99, 32GB $149, Active for .edu

    I ordered one on the 19th (Friday night, Academic Store), got an order confirmation a few days ago, and then today received a "Hey sorry to tell you but we ran out right now but don't worry we'll be shipping out more soon including to you!!!" email from HP. It's kinda annoying to see people who...

    27" ACD

    1) If AppleCare coverage hasn't expired, make sure the owner transfers it to you. As long as they do so, you'll still be covered. 2) Apple's LCD display anomaly info page Leaked AppleCare information regarding panel repair/placement and how many anomalies are required Edit - CKMorpheus is...

    What's the WORST Apple product? (Past or Present)

    Well, don't get me wrong - I appreciate and enjoy quite a bit of what Apple does. iTunes still kinda annoys me, but I myself really enjoyed the several generations of iPods that were released. I've been using Power Macs and then Mac Pros for years and enjoyed each one, and I personally really...

    What's the WORST Apple product? (Past or Present)

    I missed this somehow, but to quickly respond: Companies such as ASUS have produced systems just as thin, cheaper, and as efficient as many Windows-based PCs can be for years. It's also funny that you consider Apple's systems "cheap". Models such as the iMac are great values when you factor...

    What's the WORST Apple product? (Past or Present)

    You do realize that Apple has been suing companies across many product lines for years, right? As I mentioned, go reference the "eMachines eOne" legal issue back roughly a decade ago and enlighten yourself a little. Also, I never at all made any reference to Apple's success being due to...

    What's the WORST Apple product? (Past or Present)

    It's not Apple's "engineering" that makes them more successful, it's their marketing. Yes, much of Apple's hardware is very much stylized and appealing, but more-often than not many of the designs have been driven by Apple's marketing goals (i.e. reaching a certain thinness, giving it a certain...

    FT03 vs. PC-A05N vs. TJ08-E?

    Even if the companies didn't update the supported socket list, pretty much any Socket 1156 cooler will fit for Socket 1155. As far as I can recall, the mounting holes didn't get changed at all.

    Opinions on Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H?

    Hi all, So when I re-built my system earlier this year, I went with a i5-2500K and the ASUS P8H67-M EVO. At the time I was sacrificing the ability to overclock for the option of using the on-board GPU (along with a discrete card), so figured it was worth it. However, my P8H67-M EVO has...

    My first SFF/ITX build ever.. [College Student Budget]

    FYI Fry's has the i5-2500K on sale for $149.99 on Saturday, 7/30. I'd say it'd be worth it if you have a Fry's nearby.

    Thunderbolt to DisplayPort via cable

    Yes, all you would need is a mDP -> DP cable and you're good.

    My first SFF/ITX build ever.. [College Student Budget]

    Ah, knowing that about Amazon not taxing in CA, I'll probably check later to see if some of those other components end up being cheaper off Amazon. At the time, I thought they taxed, and since Newegg was at times a few dollars cheaper, went with them. Without tax though, Amazon could be the way...

    My first SFF/ITX build ever.. [College Student Budget]

    Here's a quick build I came up with. I tried to do some competitive shopping, but admittedly recently I've seen some better prices on specials for stuff like the RAM and such, but anyway, here you go (also, I'm not sure what the tax is and how Newegg handles it for California. For Newegg and...

    Help needed... Forgot my username

    Not necessarily. In the past, they've allowed limited Hackintosh discussion when it came to general performance, or even at times spec'ing out a system intended for Hackintosh use in the general hardware forum. I'd assume that as long as it stays free of any direct discussion on circumventing...
