Guidance on New Business Computer

Will the other three installed old Pentiums, using XP, be able to use shared MS Office files with the new server, which will use Windows 7, 8, or 8.1? By use, I mean access and modify the files? Yes, this is possible. Is there any tangible advantage to buying three $200 refurbs...

Best bang for the buck gaming laptop?

Hmm, I guess that isn't that great a deal from Lenovo. That thing is dirt cheap for what you get, although I'd be concerned about ongoing driver support, etc. I've had problems with Optimus support over time from Asus and I'd hate to think what SLI would do to that.

Best bang for the buck gaming laptop?

As of right now the top spec model Y510p is on sale for ~$1,200 with coupon code CARNIVAL at Lenovo.com. That $450 off, making it even more attractive on a bang for your buck basis.

Asus g750jx-db71

What you would want to get depends on what you are using it for and what you would like to spend. For an Asus laptop with very good gaming performance, that is a pretty nice laptop at the price. My brother has that very model and my father has the last generation model. It seems like a good...

Looking for a good source of notebook/ultrabook reviews, also Yoga 2 Pro?

Thanks for the tip on Notebook Check, I appreciate that their reviews have some detail not found in other reviews, including testing that they do. They also seem to do a lot of reviews, sometimes with multiple reviews coming out in a day. There seems to be at least a little less research done...

Looking for a good source of notebook/ultrabook reviews, also Yoga 2 Pro?

I had also wondered if it might be best to get a detachable hybrid, instead of something that flips. The Dell Venue 11 might be ideal on the tablet size, it might be a bit small for the work that I do on it. I guess I could always dock it with monitors and a keyboard at my desk. I recently...

Looking for a good source of notebook/ultrabook reviews, also Yoga 2 Pro?

I would definitely be interested in seeing your thoughts on the Schenker. I'm intrigued by the Iris Pro and wondered why it hasn't been used more, it looks like it might be an ideal compromise for light gaming. The components look really good, although there's always the question of how they...

Quick look at the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro

I was actually looking at the Yoga 2 Pro myself. I would probably go for the highest model with the 8GB ram, the i7 and the 512 SSD, I would be using it for work and at home. I have seen people posting about issues with the wireless card, have you seen any problems? I currently have an Asus...

Looking for a good source of notebook/ultrabook reviews, also Yoga 2 Pro?

I have been a big fan of the Anandtech reviews of notebooks/ultrabooks over the years, especially as far as thoroughness and professionalism, and I have used their reviews to make buying decisions in the past. However, it seems like they haven't really done a significant number of...
