    Where are all the ultrabook reviews?

    Every major website has one, two, or a small handful of ultrabook reviews. I was looking for the best high end one out there for 1500ish but I can't seem to narrow it down since there aren't reviews for each one. A big part of my decision is based on build quality and finish like the Mac air...

    Time to upgrade. Holy options batman, need help with Verizon

    Hey guys thanks for the help. I think I've decided with the iphone 4. It's only 100 bucks and it can do pretty much everything I want it to do (internet,email) just a little slower with a smaller screen. I'm ok with this because if I shelled out 300 bucks for the newest phone, I'd at the very...

    What kind of "flexibility" do these roms provide? Google has a plethora of random vague articles written for dummies.

    Time to upgrade. Holy options batman, need help with Verizon

    What are the big major differences from the top android phones vs the iphone? I remember the iphone had big weakness but made up for them with its screen/ease of use which android phones did not have. I"m assuming the playing field is more competitive now?

    Time to upgrade. Holy options batman, need help with Verizon

    I"ve been quite out of the loop with mobile phones. I need a new phone, one for email/checking finance websites/buying stuff (is this safe with such little anti-malware protection?), and I'll probably want to tether. I like the iphone for the simplicity, battery life, and the nice...

    I'm applying for a business position at an IT company and I'd like to add a line on my resume describing my proficiency. Not programming or anything too technical, but the ability to build computers, set up simple networks, etc, just to show I'm not computer illiterate. "Computer hardware...

    Where is the cheapest place to get Office 2010 (Student)

    I've gotten pretty far with open office but I definitely need Excel 2010. I'm a student but Office costs 80 bucks at the store :( There are a lot of packages on ebay but I can't tell if they're trustworthy or "upgrades." Basically I need just the full Excel 2010 for school and spend less than...

    Can my old Seasonic S12 430w power a Sandy Bridge + 460gtx?

    Here's my psu: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article226-page1.html It's my understanding that new hardware today uses far more power on the 12v rails than my old s12. Is there a tool I can buy to see how much power my system is currently using? It also doesn't have a pcie connector. Could I...

    Today's new hardware...I'm so lost. Please help

    Thanks for the help everybody! I really appreciate it. I'm trying to get cpu/mobo/ram/psu(enough for 2 gpus) for under 300. Then I'll probably go for a 460gtx and overclock. I'm building this primarily to play a crysis mod which is even more demanding than crysis. I think after I do a few...

    Today's new hardware...I'm so lost. Please help

    I have been through this many times. I'd rather spend 200 on stuff that lasts 2 years than 400 to last for 4. New products, features, advantages, bugs, so many reasons to buy a midrange system frequently than an expensive one infrequently. I've been doing a lot of research on google, but I...

    Thanks! That cleared a lot of things up. As a gamer, I'm looking at the i3 or the athlon x3 455 as the best value. But each socket has multiple chipsets. Is there a list of chipsets where I can dig up older artices on anand? I also read that the 4th disabled core on the x3 was enabled...

    Today's new hardware...I'm so lost. Please help

    I haven't payed attention to new hardware since I bought my 939 system 5 years ago. There were few choices. A cheap athlon 64 processor that is guaranteed to overclock very well, or a dual core athlon 64 processor. Motherboard choices were very important depending on the overclock features...

    Question about Maintenance schedule and Insurance

    I called them earlier and they told me it would be on a "case by case basis." I just assumed this means, "yes, most of the time we will increase your rates." Anybody have personal experience with geico?

    Question about Maintenance schedule and Insurance

    Maintenance: Is there a checklist that I can find somewhere that I can copy and mark down what has and needs to be done? I'm about to buy a Honda Accord with about 60,000 miles and I'd like the previous owner to give me all the details of what has been recently done so I know what needs...

    Is there any way to put my old 939 system to use?

    My power supply is only 430w and I can't bump all the way up to something substantial like a 460. It only has 1 pcie connector. I guess I'll try and part out the system or give it to a friend and get a new case.

    Looking for a car under 25,000. Help!

    ^ thanks. I suggested the xt but he took it for a test and it didn't handle as well as the legacy. It's at least 2 inches higher off the ground! Also the gt with the turbo 4 is out of his price range.

    Looking for a car under 25,000. Help!

    Looking for a car that can change lanes well and will not be a hassle to drive. Preferably AWD with decent horsepower 200+. The subaru legacy is the best I've come up with so far, but the gas mileage is pretty pathetic and it's just not quite agile enough. Any recommendations?

    I'm finally due for a smartphone! What should I get?

    So if I were to buy a lower priced phone, say iphone 3gs, are there any charges to simply change my phone? So if a year from now I wanted the droid 17, could I replace the phone just as easily?

    I'm finally due for a smartphone! What should I get?

    I think I'd prefer a keyboard if I were to get the Droid. Where can I start looking for black friday deals for these phones? Do they come from stores like Best Buy?
