    Best thin gaming laptop with 16:10 screen

    It's absolutely possible (because XPS13 has moved to 16:10), but not sure at all. According to this roadmap: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Leaked-Dell-roadmap-shows-concept-plans-for-XPS-15-7500-XPS-17-7700-and-the-mysterious-Dell-XPS-Dual-Screen-Maximus.419782.0.html (which was leaked last...

    Best thin gaming laptop with 16:10 screen

    I don't think there are any good choices. The only 16:10 notebooks I'm aware of are the XPS 13 + XPS 13 2-in-1 (much improved internal graphics, but only light gaming possible), the LG Gram 17 (not gaming), and the Apple Macbooks (only the Macbook Pro 16 has a decent graphics card). Other...

    The new iPad Pro

    I have a iPad 10.5 and a Brydge 10.5 keyboard for it. I also have a Surface Pro, so I think I can make a good comparison. For the "laptopish" things I use the iPad for (mainly note taking stuff where being able to use apps is a plus), Performance is not very important, the 10.5 is already...

    Question Macs Longevity?

    Longevity results of 4 factors: - Quality - Software support - Upgradeability - Repairability and repair cost Apple usually has good initial quality (although the fact that my 2015 12" MB is on its third keyboard tells me its worse than it used to be). Macs are supported for quite some time...

    What's the deal with whole grains? Are they good or bad?

    Whole grain takes longer to digest, which means that compared to products based on white flour, you don't get a quick sugar spike with all the negative effects. Wheat bran also contains protein, vitamins, mineral nutritients, oils, The downside is that it causes digestion problems for some...

    Recommend New Running Shoes Plz!

    I've been running regularly for almost 30 years now, typically around 50-70km/week & also swim and bike a bit (but don't do triathlons). I always used to buy "good shoes" for about 100-200€, because that was supposed to be the only way to properly protect my precious knees. Then, 7 or 8 years...

    Bernie Sanders refuses to endorse his own son

    Meh, that's just a sly viral covert endorsement. His son's going to get much more press that way and they're looking like a friggin beacon of decency. He couldn't have gotten a more effective endorsement from his dad.

    So how is this Top Gun 2 thing going to work?

    I think the homoerotic plot should be reserved for Rambo 5. And the next Terminator movie should be about aritificial intelligence, sex robots, how the whole transgender topic applies to intelligent machines, the abuse of power by those machines and the me-too movement in the cyborg age. T-800...

    So how is this Top Gun 2 thing going to work?

    The movie will be about a bunch of aging former ace pilots from the baby boomer generation who have been asked by their brilliant president to do one last job to free the world from the evil mullah regime in Tehran. The pilots leave their homes in the rust belt and gather in Miramar where the...

    Does everyone have a right to sex (serious replies only please)

    We clearly need a state sponsored National Sex Service. My reasoning is that such an institution could get those socially awkward nerds away from their pseudo libertarian Ayn Rand nonsense and pull them into the loving arms of benevolent sexual socialism. I predict at least 85% reduction in...

    iPad Pro worth it over an iPad for Netflix streaming?

    IMO, the big difference in image quality in iPad displays is laminated display vs not laminated display. The rest is nice but not as big of a difference. So, if you want something that's cheap but better screen than the new iPads (2017/2018), get an iPad Air 2. If you don't mind spending a...

    Apple ditching Intel chips as soon as 2020

    From my perspective as a consumer, it all depends on what a hypothetic ARM Macbook offers over an Intel Macbook. If it's much better than anything that could've been possible with an Intel chip, it might be worth losing the ability to run Windows programs without a performance hit and putting...

    My heart rate is very high when running

    Yeah, either you're not in shape for running or you should go and see a doctor. A regular runner should be able to do this pace somewhere in the 120-140 range, 190 is *very* high.

    Macbook Hardware Update Schedule

    Going by the old Macbook Pros, the outside of the last generation remained pretty much unchanged from 2012-2016 (only exception was the Force Touch trackpad). The current iteration was introduced in 2016, so I'd mostly expect internal upgrades until around 2020 or so. The next upgrade should be...

    New iPad released 2017-03-21 called... wait for it... iPad

    Yeah, as an entry level deal, den new iPad isn't bad at all. What IS negative is that now there's going to be a significant gap between entry level and pro. If you've got an Air 2 and want to upgrade, you HAVE to get a pro which contains a whole lot of stuff most iPad users don't want or need...

    Trump, the "Zero Hour". (Article in Press in Germany after Merkel Visit)

    The Berlin wall fell in November 1989, that's when Eastern Germany started leaving the Russian sphere of influence and when English might've become interesting for her. Merkel became politically active pretty much right away, Germany was reunified in October 1990 and by January 1991 she was...

    Trump, the "Zero Hour". (Article in Press in Germany after Merkel Visit)

    Her English is bad because she grew up in communist Eastern Germany, where Russian was the foreign language to learn. There's a pretty gigantic difference between European christian democrats and the American evangelicals / christian right. On most aspects, Merkel's CDU is clearly to the left...

    Samsung Chromebook Pro/Plus

    IDK, if you look for sales, you can get an m3 Surface Pro 4 for about 699. The Chromebook Plus will be 499, the Pro will be a bit more expensive, so the price delta isn't that big. BTW, Windows does touch and handwriting recognition pretty damn well. The SP4's stylus is a bit worse for artists...

    Samsung Chromebook Pro/Plus

    From what I can tell, the specs of the $499 model would be called low-to-mid-range if it were an Android phone, I'm a bit sceptical if it'll be fast enough for this Chrome / Android combo (the ARM version has only 2 GB of RAM, contrary to what the article linked article says) , especially when...

    iPad Air 2 & iPad mini 4 updated (Sept. 7, 2016)

    Yeah, coming from the Air 2, it really doesn't make much sense to upgrade to another machine with 2 GB RAM. Besides that, there would have to be tangible improvements for my use cases (mainly simple stuff like browsing, reading, videos) - but the Air 2 is already "good enough" for that, so I'll...

    Protein- How to easily get it, and is the 1 pound per body weight a myth?

    IMHO, worrying about getting enough protein is only needed for body builder types or if you're on a vegan diet and don't like soy or similar. You also don't need to eat humoungous amounts of meat. Lentils, chickpeas, beans etc all have plenty of protein. What's most important is a) having a...

    Apple Event 2016-10-27 -- New Macs finally

    Virtualization only works well if it's the same instruction set. If your trying to run an x86 VM on an ARM chip, you have to emulate the processor and the ARM chip has to be about an order of magnitude faster to make it work. Also, the "less efficient" isn't what it once was. Just tool at the...

    Apple Event 2016-10-27 -- New Macs finally

    I have a 12" MacBook with a USB-C. So far, I've only used it to charge the notebook and to connect it to a converter to connect USB 2/3 - devices. Things might look different in a few years, but at least right now, USB-C isn't a big thing yet. And because people keep their desktops / notebooks...

    Apple Event 2016-10-27 -- New Macs finally

    I'm not looking forward to that eInk keyboard, for two reasons: #1: the eInk mini screen will probably make the "top" of the key a bit thicker. When you combine that with the fact that Apple is always trying to make stuff thinner, it doesn't mean good things for key travel. #2 that keyboard...

    Apple Event 2016-10-27 -- New Macs finally

    I have a 2012 MBA 11 and a 12" Macbook. The old keyboard is so much better it isn't even funny. The butterfly keyboard kind of ok for an ultramobile which competes with an iPad Pro as far as size and weight is concerned. But for a bigger "pro" machine, it's inexcusable. Yeah, after waiting for...

    Apple Event 2016-10-27 -- New Macs finally

    For the 13", Apple could do something like Lenovo did with the T460s: use a 15W chip but give it extra headroom by increasing the SDP to 25W. Worked pretty well in that case - and with the added speed from Kaby Lake it will most definitely be better than using a Skylake processor.

    How many ml of gin/vodka a day won't make you fat?

    That's wrong. Your body can metabolize glycogen 2.5 times faster than fat, but normally, both processes are running in parallel. Which perecentage of energy is pulled from either source depends on how much is needed / your execrcise intensity.

    How many ml of gin/vodka a day won't make you fat?

    Yeah, if your total calory intake and output stays exactly the same with alcohol vs without, you won't gain weight. The difference is that the calories pulled from fat resources will not make you feel hungry but the calories pulled from glycogen will. If you drink alcohol regularly, you're...

    iPad Air 2 & iPad mini 4 updated (Sept. 7, 2016)

    I think part of the problem is that a lot of people (myself included) use tablets for decidedly "non-pro" stuff that doesn't require much cpu power, like web browsing, reading, looking at pictures, reading emails etc. The iPad Air & Air 2 still work well enough for these people and the iPad Pro...

    iPhone 6s VS 5-SE

    I've got an SE and I really like it. Coming from an LG G4, the best feature is its size, it's great not having to worry about where to put the phone anymore. And another thing I realized: while a big screen is definitely better for certain tasks, I really don't need it because during the...

    Jumping on the iPhone SE bandwagon...

    Don't need to presume much, it's the same reason as why they still offer 16 GB storage models: it'll make them money later on, because you'll have another reason to upgrade. They always offer the bare minimum that they deem necessary for a product to be attractive to their customers. Anything...

    UK votes to leave the European Union

    Well, in principle that's not very different from saying "I live in Edinburgh / Cardiff / Belfast / Manchester, why is someone in London telling me what I can or cannot do?", is it? And here's one simple reason why somebody from some other place might influence some rules that apply to you: you...

    Anyone upgrading their iPad Air to iPad Pro 9.7?

    Not going to upgrade from my Air 2 - for my main use cases (reading, browsing, watching videos, photos etc.) the additional value would be marginal while the cost would be substantial, so no.

    March 15, 2016 Apple media event: iPhone 5se and iPad Air 3?

    If the 4" phone had 2GB RAM, I'd be interested. Have an iPod touch, love the form factor. iPad - don't care because I have an Air 2 which I intend to keep for the next 2 or 3 years. Apple Watch - don't care because I'm not interested in smart watches at all.

    Why buy a Windows laptop when Macbook runs Windows?

    Expandability is a pretty important thing to me. If you buy a Macbook and the RAM / HD gets too small after a few years, you have to sell your old notebook, buy a new one and move all you applications and data. With PC notebooks, you often can just pop in some more RAM or a different / another...
