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.
Adorable.
Guy controls the products he covers because he doesn't want to be an asshole by ripping a product a new one (there are plenty of other places that do this), and that makes his content "commercials." I would say a full 50-60% of the content on the LinusTechTips YouTube channel is not...

Acer makes the Iconia W510 x86 with 32GB SSD for $500. It isn't rocking a Core i5, but then again I wouldn't expect a $500 device to rock a $250 processor. And it'd run circles around that child's toy you call an Android tablet...
I don't know that they're priced out of any market. The Lenovo Yoga 13 is the same price, albeit at what almost feels like a sale price (it's $1100 on their site, for an i3 I believe, and $1000 at Best Buy for an i5), with identical specs, minus a lower res screen. The Dell XPS 12 is $1200...
I still can't believe DangerDen had to close. Talk about a staple of the hardware community. If MonoPrice or FrozenCPU close, that's it, I'm turning Amish.
Same here.
Last I read, you could enable "classic" (i.e. Windows 7) aesthetics in Windows 8 but only in the dev previews, and when it hits retail you had to use Metro and couldn't turn it off. If this is true, I'll be using Windows 7 for a loooooooooooong time.
Agreed. And I was impressed with how responsive this thing looks. When you see cheaper tablets at Best Buy, etc they are always fairly laggy. I could see actually picking one of these up if I were in the market for a tablet.
