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.
Looking to buy an AMD 6790, since this is one of my first posts, I'll pay first / do what is needed of me to make a good transaction.
I'm around Chicago if anyone local has one.
Thanks!
I made a mistake on my post. I didn't realize this comes with a bigger battery than the version I got. If so this WILL last close to as long as they are claiming on the website.
I leave my profile on quiet office with a very low processor speed and the screen brightness in the 30%s. I normally get anywhere from 5 to 7 hours of battery life on strong wifi signal and these settings.
I've never gotten the 9+ battery life on my laptop but I could be doing something wrong :)
I am typing this from that very laptop. It is awesome...some faults though:
1. Keyboard bends slightly when typing (mine was replaced with metal)
2. The lcd screen is miserable.
3. The laptop can get hot when the discrete graphics are on.
It is a great laptop and I would buy again even...
I have the UL30VT and it is amazing. I am a constant web surfer so I don't get the full 12 hours but it does everything I need, is light, and lasts forever.
It is everything I thought when I was buying it and more.
so far so good with the UL30VT, great build quality, great battery life (between 6-10 hours of normal web browsing) and overall great laptop. I'm very impressed and would buy it again. love it.
I just got it (amazon prime free trial thank you)
I haven't fired it up yet but when I do I'll post my findings...will be a few days until I have it fully set up how I want...(newborn boy at home and not a lot of time to dedicate :) )
doesn't matter which company, both have great performance...Figure out how much your budget is and then select that card or cards in that price range. if you have a 30 inch screen will you be playing games at that full resolution or just have that high of a resolution for the desktop and play...
i did use driver cleaner and the drives never get the chance to get a drive letter, they show up but get errors when I try to do anything to them in Disk Management.
