Agreed. I picked one up to upgrade my wife's cheap netbook. A faster boot up alone will make her happy.

Need advice on MacBook Air: New vs. Used

Yeah, agree with the 11" - I think at this point, I'm going to focus on 13". I do care about wifi speed. For my intended use, max wifi speed is critical since I'll mainly be using the cloud for storing and transferring files. So you're saying that between '12 and '13 there was a hardware...

Need advice on MacBook Air: New vs. Used

Looking for some advice on how to get best bang for my buck. I'm looking for a smallish, ultra portable laptop for heavy office work, web, watching videos, and light photo work. I use a Windows 7 PC at home for work, gaming, and heavy Adobe work, so this won't be my main rig by any means...

Dead Deal, Select People $50/$75 off some Kindle Products

Thanks OP - jumped on the Kindle @ $19. Prefer iBooks personally, but now as Prime member now I can borrow books! Update: Cancelled the basic Kindle and went with the $44 Paperwhite after all the positive comments here.

Which Windows OS for Eee 1001P?

Great feedback. Thanks for the link to the chart, that really helps me understand the differences based on actual features rather than opinion. I think I'll bypass the upgrade at this point.

Which Windows OS for Eee 1001P?

I'll be honest, not really concerned about anything specifically, although I have read enough of negative reviews of Starter to think that a full-featured OS from the get-go might be way to go. I'm mainly asking because I can get the Home Premium version for $40 v. $70 if I order bundle with...

Which Windows OS for Eee 1001P?

After weeks of research, getting ready to pull the trigger on Asus Eee PC 1001P and trying to decide whether to get upgrade to Full W7 or install XP SP3 over the W7 Starter that comes stock. Any advice on which way to go? The upgrade to W7 Home Premium is $40 and XP I already have. Thanks!

Don't worry about being preachy, I do appreciate your feedback on this. Let's say we remove the "mainly" qualifier, and say I want to shoot some action along with all the other stuff? And, if it had to be between the two strictly, you'd recommend the SX10? I will look into the combo you...

reccomend for some budget golf clubs.

Almost every local golf shop should have used clubs available at great deals - some even have 30 or 90 day returns on them, no questions asked! I highly recommend you look into it. Not only can you get a good deal on used clubs (sometimes real nice ones), but you can play them for weeks and...

ASA Softball / Baseball rule question - only chime in if you know what you are talking about :)

Still, this implies that if they do not throw the ball out of play, i.e. it makes it back to the pitcher from the baseman covering the base just appealed, you are allowed to appeal at another base, which is what the OP was asking about. Neither MLB or NCAA explicitly prohibit such action, so I...

ASA Softball / Baseball rule question - only chime in if you know what you are talking about :)

No umpire worth his salt would ever do that. As far as a second appeal, rule 7.10 (d) of the MLB rulebook states: Successive appeals may not be made on a runner at the same base. If the defensive team on its first appeal errs, a request for a second appeal on the same runner at the same base...

Performance Issues With An 8800GT

My setup is nearly identical to yours with one major exception, I'm running XP. But currently I'm playing Crysis and Rainbow Six Vegas2, both maxed w/ AA moderate @ 1600x1050 and while I don't FPS numbers, it seems to be chewing both up pretty well. No lag anywhere and I haven't thought about...

7900gs problems..New card or new fan?

I just went from 7900GS to 8800GT this week. HUGE difference! I considered the 9600GT for a bit, but the price differences are so small. I found mine for $140AR. I saw plenty of 9600s @ around $110-120AR. You have the budget, so go for the better card.

Need upgrade help! New GPU, but which one?

^^ Thanks Lithan for heads up. Why would AA have to go off? Does the card not deliver at that point? I'll search for the other thread mentioned. But it sounds like 9600GT might be the ticket, but that $80 deal on the 8800GS sounds really good.
