I'm helping a friend find a good brand, i7 720 or better laptop with a decent quality monitor, which has a 5850 or better discrete graphics card (whether nV or AMD). In addition, it must have an SSD and a BD drive. Is it possible for $1800 (lmgtfy: always missing one of the mentioned...

What is the best high power wireless router or access point for home use? I'm looking for the most powerful one I can buy specifically for use overseas, so power output limits and channel restrictions do not matter.

What's the best way to clone a hard disk without losing the junction points? There's a lot of them so doing it manually or copying the contents is not an option.

Are there any benchmarks of or does anyone have first hand experience using TrueCrypt 7.0 (preferably on SSD) with AES-NI mode enabled on i7 980x or 970? Is there any significant performance hit at all? Sorry if this is not the right forum, but it seemed to be the one that fit my question best.

Windows 7 x64 starts behaving strangely when I copy a large file to a certain extended volume of 2xWD20EADS (I have a few, but only one became problematic). It gradually stops responding: things that are already open continue semi-normally, e.g. start menu, but it wouldn't open a new...

I'm looking for a laptop for a friend. He intends to use it as a desktop replacement for gaming but not much else, and his budget is flexible. Minimum screen size 15" but 17" is preferred, along with decent battery life (>3 hours of normal use). One of his main requirements is touchscreen...

Anyone has issues with 5870 flickers in dual monitor setups, without overclocking the card whatsoever? I know it's a known issue with OCs, but I wonder if in this case it's just my card.

Is it possible to get a decent A3 color printer and scanner for home use, and not on an enterprise budget ($2000+)? The few ones that I found are so poorly rated they're not worth trying. The fine print: I don't need (and even prefer to do without) any extra features. I already have a...

A refurbished 3007WFP-HC from Dell Outlet costs a little less than a new U2711. For gaming and other uses, which one would be best? I plan to connect it to the available DisplayPort in the signature rig to use at max resolution. Thanks

Someone offered to buy my GTX285 for more than I paid so.. what the hell. I don't want to format so instead of a 5870 I'll stick with a temporary card for now. Since lately I've only been playing RTS on 1680x1050 and using Photoshop's GPU acceleration, will I miss anything by picking up a $60...

I've had Windows 7 Pro RTM for a while now, but I've been reluctant to move on from the Ultimate RC until perhaps Office 2010/MSVS 2010 are available. Is it safe to stick with the RC? In other words, will support/security updates continue now that the retail version is released?

I've searched for 5-in-3 internal 3.5" to 5.25" device modules, but the only ones I could find are the hot-swappable expensive ones (which from reviews can potentially be points of failure). A "solution" would be using a $120 full fledged enclosure as a $20 module without the connections, but...

I'm looking for a PCI-e SATA controller since I ran out of SATA ports on my P6T. I run software JBOD, but have no interest in hardware RAID solutions. AHCI compatibility would be nice for hot swapping etc. Can anyone recommend an 8-port controller (I'll probably fill out one HDD after another...

My step up window ends in a few days and i was wondering if it's worth it. I have the 2GB version of the "superclocked" GTX 285, and the only option I can step up to is the 295 co-op for $80 each. Should I do it or is it best to stick with the 285s?
