    Used Laptop advice

    By the way, if you're already knocking the i7 "u" series, then why are you offering an i5 "U" for $875? Just saying.. .

    Used Laptop advice

    That was exactly what I was saying about the importance of the CPU vs. the GPU, but you make a point about the "U" series processors. Still looks like a good machine, especially if he can negotiate the price. Check out the going prices for comparable setups, and that's buying blind. He can have...

    Used Laptop advice

    Wow, maybe I'm out of the loop, but that looks like a pretty nice configuration to me. I'm not a big fan of Dell per se, reliability-wise, but I believe most people here would place greater weight on the CPU and RAM over the GPU.

    HTPC Options - Plex vs Kodi/XBMC vs Emby/Media Browser

    Hey ILG - Yeah, that's the eternal debate. I've asked the same question myself a couple of times. This is what I decided... A dedicated HTPC machine is the way to go. These little tiny boxes they're selling are just a little TOO weak, if you know what I mean. And I doubt you'd be able to...
