I am running Windows 10 on MSI Titan, wondering if there is a better alternative to PowerDVD that comes with the machine (and needs to be purchased as it is in the free trial mode).

Problem is, it's not really my computer, but a machine in the hands of a computer-illiterate person. I don't have access to that computer. There is not skills set to do incremental or anything more complicated, let alone the ability to do a restore. I set up for it to clone once a week. If the...

What are the pros/cons of incremental versus a full clone of the drive? I want a fully bootable Solid state drive, not backups per se. Can you create bootable via incremental schedule?

Good point. I was able to schedule auto-clones, once a week. Never used that feature before.

I've used this software for several years with great results. It clones one boot disk onto another. IN case the primary fails, I have a backup.

1080 is good up to 17". IMO you need 4K on displays that are 27" and up. I have a Dell L702x which is a 17" display with 1080 and aside from color being all wrong, the resolution is great. Nevertheless I am going to uprade to a 4K device.

RE: www.xoticpc.com I found this 4K system, with both SSD and HDD. I think I am going to wait until the prices comes down a bit. http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-gt73vr-titan-pro-4k-200.html

An SSD is reliable and fast -- until it experiences total failure at the end of its lifespan. Why shouldn't I mirror it daily to ensure integrity of my data? I do the same thing with my HDD and it has saved me once. Take the number of copies of data you have and substract 1 and that's how...

Here is what I want to get: A laptop with GTX 1060, dual 1TB SSDs that can be mirrored. Also want it to be 17" or at least 15" and 4K and run all that in a docking station. Recommend the parts? I want to run with the Dell U3216Q 32" 4K monitor via HDMI 2.0.

anecdotal evidence suggests that SSD greatly extend runtime. Is that so?

There is a number of youtube videos that go over this procedure step by step... observations: 1. Label the screws when you take them out where they came from. I spent 15 minutes trying different screws in wrong places as I put them in a pile more or less and by the time I had to assemble them...

I currently have Dell L702x but want something with better battery life, 18" versus 17" screen, bigger hard drive size (have 750GB now), solid state + conventional hard drive. I am inclined to think about an Alienware version but wanted to get some other opinions. Will even consider 4K but...
