A follow up question on my original question (as I'm reading watching reviews of the Nextbit Robin).
Intel CPUs are sometimes famously released with bugs in them, which are then later fixed by software. As I'm reading/watching the Nextbit Robin reviews (the phone has the erroneous Snapdragon...
Oh. It's just the same display Microsoft Surface uses (according to Forbes), or at least it has the same parameters. Nothing special.
Otherwise, thanks for your great analysis!
Oops. So should we (me, you whoever), or shouldn't we buy it now for only $110?

@dave_the_nerd had this to say about 1st gen. Intel Core i CPUs:
OK. Where to look for the CPU's idle power consumption on ark.intel.com? For example: http://ark.intel.com/products/95443/Intel-Core-i5-7200U-Processor-3M-Cache-up-to-3_10-GHz - It's a current gen. CPU, but the specs. sheets are...
Thank you for your referencing of TFT Central! I almost forgot about it. But to be honest, the resources you provided with me (TFT Central and the other) are probably a little too deep for my simple learning purposes. I mean, I could possibly read them for hours on end, and still not sure I get...
I said, light virtualization. That's a completely different animal. Software like Faronics Deep Freeze. May even change your life! :)
So, you find Geekbench scores useless for CPUs scoring below how many points/useful above how many point?
Fine. But I still don't quite get how in your view...
Dear moderator, I concluded that - even though the title of the topic explicitly mentions laptops -, given the scope of the topic, this discussion would be more interesting in the General Hardware forum section. I mean I expected insights from a wide variety of AnandTech Forums people, and...
How did you decide the widely used and respected Geekbench scores aren't good anymore? Even more strangely, only for those CPUs you define as low end. In Single-core Geekbench score, how many points it would be, where's the dividing line in Geekbench score between low end and not so low end for...
Hi DaQuteness,
Thank you for your insights! Let's dig a little deeper:
Geekbench 4 score for the Celeron N3450 (Windows 64-bit, best single-core score)
Single-Core Score: 1470
Multi-Core Score: 4220
Geekbench 4 score for the Core m3-6Y30 (Windows 64-bit, best single-core score)
Single-Core...
Relevant specs for laptop one:
Quad-core Celeron N3450 with Intel HD Graphics 500
6GB DDR3 RAM
eMMC 5.0 storage
Driving a display of a respectable 2376x1823 resolution
Relevant specs for laptop two:
Dual-core Core m3-6Y30 with Intel HD Graphics 515
4GB DDR3 RAM
SATA SSD storage
Driving a...
Basically I'm asking about laptop display technology, but all in all, I hope I'm posting to the right topic here.
I get the distinction between IPS and TN panel mostly; I'm sure you can give me more nuances, like is IPS always better than TN? What are good quality TN displays? Tech specs?
What...
Similar discounts in Europe? Thanks!
* Preferably without the Windows tax. As I stated in the OP, the machine (at least in my case) would be for experimenting with Linux.
Meanwhile, touchscreen Chromebooks went mainstream, but they all fold. (I don't understand why would anyone want to touch her non-folding laptop's screen, though.) It depends on your budget. What do you mean by cheap? No Full HD screens of size 11.6". It depends of which feature is more...
I'm not sure I understood this.
Indeed. But I did not heard about issues from Wikipedia. Not to go too far, in this very thread as well.
Good question! Why would I buy an old phone and not a new? For LineageOS. I'm not at all in anything like the Honor 8, especially for that price. As far as I...
