    Halo 5 to Pit Spartan Against Spartan Oct. 27

    No, including NVMe is not a bad idea, especially when games are getting larger - TitanFall and GTA-5 and even more so when we start getting into 4k and 8k. "This won't happen for the next 10 years" Actually, NVMe is coming out THIS FRIDAY...

    Halo 5 to Pit Spartan Against Spartan Oct. 27

    October 27th 2015 would be a great time for Microsoft to finally do what really needs to be done and UPDATE the hardware in the XBox One. DirectX 12 will be out by then and there are several things that really need updated, *IF* they want to out perform the PS4 that is, and win back loads of...

    What Is 4K TV?

    I'm glad 4k is coming but, I'd prefer TRUE 4k at 120 FPS with G-sync for gamers. One problem is that HDMI 2.0 cables and Blu-Ray may not cut it. Blu-Ray is currently limited to 8 channel audio instead of the new 32 ch. Of HDMI 2.0's 18 Gb/sec bandwidth, only 14.4 Gb/sec is usable due to a 20%...

    Adobe CS6 Photoshop & Premiere Pro

    I need to get Adobe CS6 Photoshop & Premiere Pro but, money is an issue. I'm trying to figure out the cheapest way to buy CS6 Photoshop & Premiere Pro.

    Ipad vs. Laptop vs. Microsoft Surface???

    ^ I was actually hoping to be able to play DVD's, games and music with headphones on the flights and at the airports etc. Perhaps I can a used laptop and upgrade it but, I was hoping for USB 3 for transfers with my USB stick, which is only USB 2 for now until I get a new one with USB 3. So...

    Ipad vs. Laptop vs. Microsoft Surface???

    ^ I'm trying to get by as cheap as possible - I was hoping I could get by for $500. Perhaps a smaller screen size 14.4 will help? I may have to reduce a few things like 1080p resolution to 720 and USB 2. I suppose I don't absolutely have to have an SSD but I hate to give that up - perhaps a...

    Ipad vs. Laptop vs. Microsoft Surface???

    ^ That's an excellent point as I certainly don't want to get sucked into buying loads of expensive accessories for a Surface RT. I'm trying to get what I need while getting out as cheap as possible. I'll need the VGA and HDMI as well as 1080p res and an SSD would be sweet & I'm willing to pay a...

    Ipad vs. Laptop vs. Microsoft Surface??? I need to be able to do power-point lectures with excellent image & video quality. Lectures not only within the USA but other countries as well - so I'll need to make sure I've got any necessary ports or connections for projectors etc. I'll want WiFi and...

    Ivy Bridge laptops

    ^ Very well said, jaguarskx. That's exactly what I needed to hear since I've never had a laptop or any ipad/ipod/iphone devices whatsoever. I suppose it could depend upon how easy the ipad operating system is to learn & get used to i.e. how user friendly it is. She's used to Windows XP so, Win...
