I almost pulled the trigger on a P8 when google had all the promos going on. It would have been 200+tax. I didn't do it since my P6 really works fine but doesn't have the greatest cell reception. But now trade in on the P6 is down to 106.00 at google so that has me thinking I should have. But...

If you have a MS near you, pretty good deal. https://www.microcenter.com/product/674794/gateway-gwnr71539-bk-156-ultra-slim-laptop-computer-black

Has there been anything released about when the Pixel 8 is coming out and what specs it might have? My 6 is getting old and the reception has never boon good unless I'm in an area with a strong signal- whereas my friends iphone 14 has much better reception. I don't want an iphone but maybe the...

I'm thinking about replacing my 10 yr old Ryzen 7 1700X system since it won't support Win11 and I'm still using Win7. But even Firefox popped up a message saying they won't have any more updates for Win7. So, I can update to Win10 but it's a lot of work if I'm going to have to eventually upgrade...

Seems like a really decent laptop for the price... Never have figured out why MC doesn't ship. Seems like they would easily double their sales. https://www.microcenter.com/product/663100/lenovo-ideapad-3-14-laptop-computer-platinum-grey?

Is there a final slipstream version of win 7 I can use just for media center and old tuners on an older machine? Not going to be on the internet just used for dvr purposes recording OTA. The current system I use for dvr is getting very glitchy and I want to use more modern hardware.

Really good deal if you need to build a midrange system...

I have a Pixel 6 non-pro and I've never been impressed with the camera even though the reviews rave about it. My LG G6 took better pictures and my Nokia Icon was probably better than both the P6 and G6. In sunlight, the P6 seems to blow out the colors. I was taking pictures of a bike I just...

When I looked at the supported CPU list for Win 11, my Ryzen 7 1700X isn't listed. I was thinking of upgrading the CPU to a Ryzen 7 5700G and ditching the old HD 6850 vid card. Anyone have any experience using a new series CPU in a board that old? I'd like to avoid starting from scratch with all...

Really good deal for this watch... does all the normal stuff and EKG, BP although more for warnings than for accurate readings. Need a Samsung phone for the EKG to work. https://www.newegg.com/samsung-sm-r820nzscxar-smart-watch-galaxy-watch-active2-silver/p/2T2-000B-00287?Item=2T2-000B-00287

Kinda old tech, but decent price if you take the bundle savings into account on the MB. https://www.microcenter.com/product/512484/intel-core-i7-9700k-coffee-lake-36ghz-eight-core-lga-1151-boxed-processor-heatsink-not-included?

Good deal if you have a MC nearby... does not include a HS. https://www.microcenter.com/product/623048/intel-core-i7-10700k-comet-lake-38ghz-eight-core-lga-1200-boxed-processor-heatsink-not-included

If you have a microcenter nearby, this is a really nice laptop for the price. 1080 screen, backlit keyboard 6 core Ryzen. https://www.microcenter.com/product/622881/acer-aspire-5-a515-44-r2hp-156-laptop-computer-black

Seems like a great deal if you need a office/internet box. They sold these with i5's as well so probably upgradable. But as soon as you start doing upgrades, they aren't such a good deal unless you have an i5 just sitting around...

These seem like quite a good deal... any pros/cons I should know about? I realize they are low spec tablets but should be good for general use and they supposedly come with Office, too. https://www.newegg.com/hp-608-g1-pro-tablet/p/0VG-005K-00090

From the reviews, it appears these are basically the same guts as a MX500 and with similar performance. https://www.newegg.com/team-group-t-force-vulcan-1tb/p/N82E16820331322 Title changed to reflect actual capacity of drive. admin allisolm

So, I've not found much technical info on these drives but they seem to have good user reviews and they are cheap. Are these DRAM-less? I need a new drive to move to Win 10 and I don't want to lose my Win 7 install, at least not for a while...

I have an old 80GB PS3 that I want to upgrade to a SSD to speed things up a bit. I mainly use it for BR discs and streaming stuff like Amazon Prime video. Seems to take a long time to buffer video and you can see and hear the HD while it looks like it is writing to it. If I pull the drive and...

Pretty good deal. Shows 1 yr HP warranty which is unusual for a refurb. No grade or condition on them though, so things like keyboard and screen might not be pristine. https://flash.newegg.com/Product/34-270-975

My G6 is about a year and half old and starting to get flakey. Stuff like someone calls me and I can't hear them and they can't hear me. Then call back and it connects OK. Also just seems generally laggy sometimes. I only use a few apps like Microsoft launcher and Office, Firefox, Instagram...

Pretty great deal... On most builds, I'm using the 2400G since the integrated graphics make it compelling for non-gaming apps like video surveillance clients, etc. One question I have though, is what low cost video cards are close in performance to the integrated graphics on the Ryzen chips for...

So, for the past few days, I've been getting random blue screens and reboots- some are system errors, today it was an IRQ error and a few others. DiskChk found one error and fixed it. I ran memtest and no errors with the memory. I suspect maybe the SSD is crapping out. Any suggestions for what...

I have a single 8GB stick I want to run in a MSI B360M board for simple office use. Performance is not a real concern. Any problem running a single stick of Crucial 2400?

Is there a version or a way to install Win 10 so that it is a minimal install and doesn't constantly try to update everything all the time? I used to use Win 7 standard embedded on surveillance video servers but I don't see anything equivalent to this for Win 10.

Will pretty much any of the new laptops (Ryzen 5 2500U or Intel 8th gen) do 4K output via HDMI? None of the specs I see on product pages list anything except the laptop screen res= 1920x1080. Will it need a dedicated video card to do 4K?

If I go to the forum home page I get a blank white page with no error message or anything. If I go to one of the subforums, it loads fine and I can log it with no problem. Any help on this? There's a thread about this . https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/main-page-is-blank-for-me.2557041...

Windows 7 using firefox, I consistently get this bluescreen after scrolling down through posts in FB for a few minutes. Very strange because it only does it after several minutes on FB and while scrolling. Never get the error doing anything else. Any idea what it could be? Ryzen 7 1700x...

Went to the forums without logging in and it logged me in as dchristian. I did not login at all but if I had it should have been as spdfreak which is what I logged in as to post this.

I'm building several ITX cube systems (2400G APU) to display video surveillance cameras on 4K monitors. I want to use both of the HDMI ports- each to a 4K monitor. ASRock says both ports will do 4K but I'm having a hard time getting them to answer if both ports will do 4K at the same time. Does...

750.00 seems like a good deal if you want a pre-built. https://www.newegg.com/Special/ShellShocker.aspx?cm_sp=Homepage_SS-_-P4_83-164-003-_-04182018&Index=4

NE has it for 150.00 with PC today...

Found a really good deal on ebay so I'm finally retiring the Icon since I can't even get the banking app for Wells Fargo anymore. It's my first Android phone, so I will need to learn the UI, etc. I love the clean and easy to use WP UI but it's days are up and honestly, the Edge browser was...

The MSI P6N SLI motherboard that this cpu is in is dying the slow death- certain devices disappearing, USB ports not working, etc. Is the cpu worth finding another MB or shall I retire it with a pat on the back? It has been running my media center PC for years but after building a new Ryzen...

When I built my new Ryzen system, I simply moved my Win7 boot drive from my old PII X6 system to the new one and since it was a retail copy, it activated fine (although getting the USB drivers to work was a PITA). I need Win7 for media center and my TV tuners but I now want to add another SSD...

I haven't really played any games since the old COD days but I'm going to build a new system to replace my old Phenom II X6 so I can play the new COD. Current plans are for a Ryzen 5 1600x since they are really cheap (179.99 at MC) with 16GB ram and a 512 SSD. Probably still use win7 pro. The...

I currently have a Nokia Icon (Verizon) and it seems to be dying the slow death. I use tethering a lot since I have the old unlimited plan but recently the phone requires a restart to enable the hotspot if it has connected to any other wireless device previously. Very annoying. It is still a...

I'm thinking of getting one of the unlocked versions from NE or Amazon but there are stories of them not playing well with Verizon. Does anyone here have any experience with this phone on Verizon? I need a phone to replace my venerable Nokia Icon- something in the 200-250 price range that also...

Time to replace my Dell Vostro 1000 Athlon X2. As far as I can tell, both the i3 and i5 are dual core hyper-threaded. Will I see any significant differences using the laptop for general use stuff like office, internet, running some business apps like Quickbooks, etc? I have an SSD to put in the...

I rarely need to use a laptop but occasionally I need to take one somewhere. I have a Vostro 1000 with an Athlon 64 X2 1.7 and a Inspiron 6400 with a T2300 Intel. Trying to decide which is going to be the better system. The Vostro has win10 64bit installed and aero even works. The Inspiron has...

I've sort of inherited this job since I'm more IT'ish than any of our other engineers... we are deploying a new management program for our small 30 person aviation repair facility and it requires R2 standard with dedicated 500GB RAID 10 for the oracle database which the software company will be...
