    Just played with the GS3 !!!

    Why does a phone need to have an uber GPU anyway? I always thought that the UI frame rate was something that is software limited (I.e. my nexus is smoother on jellybean than on ICS with same hardware). To me good battery life, screen resolution and quick load times and less lag when launching...

    Mac layout gaming keyboard

    i use a wired mac keyboard as a gaming keyboard on my PC. love the key layout and action of the keys. Only problem is the position of the alt key, which is switched with command/windows key, making alt_based keybinds a bit of a pain.

    Whats the big deal with retina display on iPad?

    everything also depends on what you do with a tablet. My original ipad 1 has been used for email, pdfs, books, web browsing and watching movies during the times when taking out and using a laptop would be awkward or inconvenient. All of these things would work better with a nicer screen. As...

    Whats the big deal with retina display on iPad?

    the big deal is that such resolutions were previously available only on pro 30" monitors ($1k+) and medical radiology displays ($5k+). The fact that apple managed to bring a device with such a resolution to a consumer market is huge. I really hope this will start a new trend of making displays...

    Why do you hate Apple? (intelligent discussion)

    I am a hardware type of guy, and I used to dislike Apple products due to their underpowered specs and weird CPUs they used in their products. Also the lack of flexibility. I would not touch their stuff with a 10 foot pole. This all changed when they switched to Intel CPUs. Suddenly the hardware...

    AG Coating Paranoia - The Official Thread

    No paranoia here, but antiglare panels give me bad eyestrain after about 1 hour working on one. This on both desktop and laptop panels. Which is super annoying, as I cant find a monitor to upgrade my NEC 20WMGX2's. Apple Cinema display is the only option and it is expensive.

    Looking for video card upgrade advice

    My current system: i7-920 Quad Core, 8gb RAM, Geforce 260 video card. Most obvious weak link in my setup is the video card. And it recently became noticible when I try to run 3 concurrently opened Eve Online clients on 2 monitors (the FPS drops). I think it is time for an upgrade. I run...

    Do glossy 24"-30" monitors exist?

    I have a problem - antiglare coated monitors give me bad eyestrain (I am very sensitive to constant shimmering on white/blue backgrounds that the coating creates). For a few years now I have gotten around the problem by using 2x NEC 20WMGX2 monitors at home and AL2051W Acers at work. They...

    Macbook Pro 15 2011 specs in a PC?

    I also have a Lenovo W510, and the MBP beats it in almost every way. Better screen, better aspect ratio, better battery life even when running Win7 (!), better 3D performance and suprisingly runs cooler (the CPU). The only thing that lenovo has over the MBP are a plethora of ports (which I...

    Asus P6T non deluxe ?

    I am planning on building myself an i7 system in next couple of weeks. What i found surprising so far is how few mobos currently exist for i7. Is the non-deluxe p6t considered a good mobo for stability and decent overclocking? I've been an asus user for years and dont particularly want to switch...

    Blackberry Storm

    i tried the storm when it first came out and then yesterday with newer OS. At first i thought it was terribly slow and glitchy, however when i tried it yesterday, it was running a whole lot better and faster. I also noticed that three different phones they had on display ran very differently, so...

    new card: Nvidia 260 or 9800gtx

    Last night my EVGA 8800 GTS died. The thing is already off warranty, so its time for a new card. I was kind of torn between Nvidia 260 and 9800gtx. I play alot of WoW on my current computer, with 2 clients open on 2 monitors usually. Would like to probably check out all these new graphically...

    I have this same monitor, maybe i got a good one, but mine so far has 0 problems. Absolutely no backlight bleed. I am surprised however that alot of people use suck low brightness settings. I have mine set at 100%, to me it looks best this way.
