Break away power connector for Dell?

That is certainly the most rational and logical idea; however, logic doesn't seem to sink in when dealing with my wife. :o

Break away power connector for Dell?

No doubt. But I was hoping an aftermarket solution like this would work, but it's apparently not compatible with the XPS. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lS9S2exVsjk

Break away power connector for Dell?

I purchased a Dell XPS 13 for my wife. It came with the traditional power plug that inserts into the side of the laptop. My Macbook Pro has a very nice feature -- a power cord that connects to the Mac by a magnet and breaks away if someone trips over the power cord, for example. I contacted...

Atomic Wall Clock

Thank you. As my dad tends to prefer digital, I'll wait to see if anyone know of a well made atomic digital clock. Thanks again.

Atomic Wall Clock

My dad's birthday is coming up, and he's a tech gadget nut. He's been mentioning he would like an atomic wall clock. Does anyone have a recommendation as to a well made atomic wall clock? My budget is up to $200, and the primary consideration is quality and reliability. Otherwise, this will...

Samsung Series 9 Replacement?

Thank you. After a lot of comparison shopping, I got the top of the line Dell XPS 13 (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, I7 CPU, etc.). Cost me a pretty penny, but she should be happy for several years. She should be satisfied with the anniversary gift! :cool: Thanks again.

Samsung Series 9 Replacement?

Thanks, Giantpandaman. I'll look into the Vaio. My daughter has a Vaio and loves it. Nerp - We've upgraded already over the years. She's finally decided it's just not fast enough. Could all be in her head, but I promised I would look at new models with faster CPUs.

Samsung Series 9 Replacement?

Thank you. I believe she primarily uses the laptop for email, web surfing, online shopping and Word documents. She also uses Photoshop to touch up pictures, so I agree that RAM and a high end CPU are essential. Also, given her web surfing, she obviously wants a high end wireless card, such as...

Samsung Series 9 Replacement?

My wife has a Samsung Series 9 laptop, model NP900X3A-A03US. The laptop is a few years old, has become slow, and she would like to upgrade. However, she loves the thinness, look, feel and size of the Series 9. Is there any particular current model of Windows laptop similar to the Series 9...

Asus RP-AC68

Does anyone happen to have any idea when Asus might release the RP-AC68 range extender to the market? This appears to be exactly what I've been waiting for, especially given that I purchased one of Asus' newer, high-end routers. However, even as nice as the router is, I still have deadspots in...

Candelabra LEDs

Interesting. Thank you for doing this for us. Perhaps I should do a comparison now with a newer LED bulb, as, admittedly, the comparison we did was some time ago. Thanks again.

Candelabra LEDs

Understood. I would, however, like to match whatever lumens were produced by the 60w incandescent candelabras that we compared the 60w "equivalent" LEDs to, side-by-side, because I can tell you that the 500 lumen, 60w "equivalent" LED candelabra bulbs are much dimmer -- and they made the round...

Candelabra LEDs

The ones that claim to be 60W equivalent are considerably dimmer than their incadescent counterparts, as we observed when testing the claimed 60W equivalent LEDs from Philips, I believe, to 60W incadescent bulbs (we compared two LEDs to two "regular" bulbs at the same time). The Philips 60W LED...
