As the proud owner of 2 D630s as basic use machines, have you considered getting a USB PC card? Those should be reasonably easy to find more cheaply than a serial mouse and lets you use a current mouse. In fact, I have a firewire+USB 2.0 cardbus card that would do exactly that.
I have the 55" Sony A1E. It is beautiful. Even with SDR content, the contrast is high, and this is especially noticeable in a dark room where a dark scene truly feels like no lights are on. The video processing is also worth having to make the most of content that is sub-native (i.e. neither...
I have the MSI GT 1030 hooked up to a Dell U2718Q. It is fantastic. I am running it with a slightly underclocked TDP-capped i7 3770 in a small mitx box with a 90W pico psu that has only 6A on the 12V rail so I doubt you'll have power issues. In theory, I've heard the reason 4k netflix is...
I have the J3455 NUC. You get other benefits like 10-bit HEVC decoding and proper 4k support (HDMI 2.0). If you're worried about noise, I personally can't hear it when watching video files from even a few feet away, and it also has a semi passive mode so it runs silent below a certain temperature.
Also, the used processors might be cheap for the very reason that the demand is low since they cannot be used with many motherboards. If motherboards suddenly become available that can house them, expect the price of the CPUs to go up.
That's why the highest end older consumer processors...
Purely anecdotal on my part but have 4 3TB drives (2 Reds, a Seagate and a Toshiba) in a 9TB flex raid with parity and been running for a few years 24/7. Nothing has given up the ghost yet.
I do wonder how much the quality of power supplied and temperature (level and variability) impact...
Basic programs like word open close to instantly with an SSD or if it's in memory already, even on a Core 2. But if you used the ms office web installer (vs downloading the massive image/exe similar to the files on the DVD version), I noticed the programs take longer to open and sit on the...
No laptop or desktop owner should need to bear the pain that is spinning hard drives as a primary drive. The only acceptable moving parts in laptops today should be semi-passive cooling and maybe optical drives, and those too need to disappear eventually.
Since you mention you tested with the 6205, I forgot to mention that some of my laptops have the 5300, and easily got over 100mbps for transfers at close range with the C7. I think you need to make sure you enable WMM or you might get stuck with A/G performance which your numbers resemble.
The C7 is good, but I believe some places in Canada sell it for $80 (about US$60), which is what I paid a year ago.
My devices with the intel 7260/7265 typically connect at 600-866mbps, with real world SSD to SSD speeds around 250-400mbps (it is quite volatile, but transfers usually stabilize...
Thanks for the suggestions. I've slowly started to customize it and I'm finding most things can be figured out. The widgets are handy for simulating a lot of the hub stuff.
Damaged my Z10 recently, so got an LG G4. Lots of positives so far, but I do think Blackberry did get a few things right which if there are comparables/equivalents in Android I'd welcome comments on.
I actually bought a Z30 on amazon for $200 to help with the withdrawal symptoms. I think if...
Could also be the power supply. Those are usually mediocre and cheap.
I have a DIR-615 running in my parents' home. It's nothing special, but it's enough for their 25/2 internet. Its original AC adapter died so I'm using the adapter from an older dlink product which had the same one...
I recently broke/destroyed my Z10 in a bout of frustration so I made a move and decided on the LG G4. $100 cheaper than the S6 (much less the Edge) and get to keep microsd and a removable battery (which have been blackberry staples for ages).
Any thoughts on the wireless charging situation...
It's also about strategic investments whereby your hardware can be passed down and remain useful. It is true that an older Core 2 machine with IGP or basic DX10 discrete card is in general obsolete. However, it remains useful for a wide range of users by including an SSD.
System bottlenecks...
