Microsoft doing something right windows related almost seems like an oxymoron but this time around they got all the big oems on board as well - Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer, Samsung and probably more to come - and the early previews all seem very positive. I'm optimistic, especially for the...

Not this type of hybrid, PCIe is backwards compatible but you loose half the bandwidth because the lanes are slower. What samsung did here is having a different number of lanes depending on if you're using PCIe 5.0 or 4.0 - 2x or 4x respectively - which means you have roughly the same bandwidth...

They do say fashion is cyclical :D https://what-if.xkcd.com/31/

Another one of those where instead of questioning "why?" they just went with "why not?" :D It's funny, absolutely useless but very funny

I'd wager it won't remain possible for long though, surely neither nvidia nor amd will be too happy their tech is being used thin way

Barely, regular IPS already does 1000:1 with no local diming and there are some odd panels on the market able to push it to 1300 or 1500 as well (and now IPS Black doing 2000:1), not to mention VA that starts at 3000:1. HDR500 and 600 with 7000:1 and 8000:1 (one of them shouldn't exist lol)...

If you're gonna be robbed blind either way at least buy the first party and much better product (200$+ for this flexible hinge design is nuts!)

I'll do you one better, 4 out of 4 laptop pcs sold in 2027 will be ai laptop pcs just like they were for years now - I can't remember exactly but I think I started seeing AI as a marketing term as early as 2018, to control cooling and random tidbits like that. Because at the end of the day...

Of the course the M2 is faster but the performance difference between M1 and M2 are slim, maybe bigger in graphics but whatever because the point is that whatever measurable difference there is you can't make use of it because of the applications that are allowed to run on platform. Final Cut...

Really depends on the tablet and what the OS is able to do, Surface and alikes are usually bashed for sucking as a tablet but they're pretty neat devices that let you whatever you want. There's all sorts of rugged tablets used in industrial applications as well. The iPad though? Yeah, pretty...

Apple is pretty smart, evil, but pretty smart. There's no performance difference between the iPad Air and iPad Pro, either now or in the past couple years. The problem was and continues to be their stupid software that limits the ipad to be a consumer toy - their new changes to Final Cut and...

The sad reality is they're laughting their way to the bank to cash in the money of the continued sale of these terrible designs. People keep buying them so why spend man hours and retool the production line for a new design? :ohwell:

Given how they've been pricing things it's the only card that makes sense anyway, the value of the 4080 was terrible at launch, just hope they don't moon shot the price of it even more.

Another example of save a buck to then loose millions in sales and brand image on such a small issue. Heat shield tape is only a couple cents per inch, this was very avoidable.

I don't get why MSI even bothered doing 2 different models, they are definitely sharing the same panel and almost certainly the same scaler and all the electronics, if someone opens one I bet you'll see the empty pads for the USB ports on the pcb. Why go through the trouble of doing a new...
