Finally I've just done putting my nexus 7 on me car dashboard as car stereo,sat nav etc etc... picture will be posted very soon...

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Well they are finally fixing the 840 evos just a heads up freedom

CBA with the extra price premium at the moment, 250GB Arc100 is £64 while 840Evo is £75, Im going to put the PoS ARC100 in my laptop afterwards and take out the Plextor M5 Pro Extreme that i have currently sitting in there which is going to waste

 

[kurosagi01]

I have the ARC100 its not that bad of a SSD.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I have to say.... the Arc100 is quite 'weighty' then any other SSD ive ever handled.

It feels solid which is a good thing but for people who are putting in a laptop the extra grams might be a no no - Petty i know but some people get anal about this stuff....

 

[dorsetknob]

Yeah, I'm good cheers! You?

Went home for a while...

There is someone want to buy this?

I'd be worried about the idle power usage... from all the review that ssd doesn't have a low idle power state. Just a word of warning. That's what led me to putting an 840 evo in my machine

@Bo$$

Well my laptop is never away from mains when its powered on and its rarely powered on these days.

The laptop itselt is due to be replaced with something with more grunt anyway. Looking at an i3 maybe. This E-350 is only good for linux

I have one with an E1-2100 not too bad for word etc, dumped 6gb of ram into it and it works pretty good on windows seven. The first all day computer i've had. 8 hours is no problem on this

I got 8gb ram. Anything above 4gb is a waste

When it gets things going I can hit 4gb easily. The ssd makes it a real smooth experience. Haven't tried photoshop, gaming or anything like that on it due to lack of time. I also need to put a proper windows licence on it at some point

The only time i ever went over 4GB was during a massive windows update blitz after a fresh Win 7 installation. I dont really do much on it as the CPU is so easily saturated. I remember back when i first bought this laptop that i played some older games like L4D, BF2, LoL, GW1, CoD4 and Oblivion on it. Never did it go over 4GB usage though to be fair the settings for most games were medium to low. on the rare ocasion i could run games on high settings

Just picked up a Pair of PLS 27 inch Samsung Monitors, £130 each is a bargain!

Can finally get rid of those blasted 22 inch LG monitors

 

[RCoon]

Missed out on an i7 4770K on eBay. Sold for £175, and my max bid was £170
Majorly gutted.

actually...........
how bad is IPS glow on a desktop screen?

Not bad at all if it's a quality panel. Once I got IPS, I have no intention of going back to TN, not even for 144hz...

 

[Bo$$]

Samsung S27D390H are the model i just bought... well i hope they are good
