Windows 8.1 fixed that

I would give this mouse a solid 8 if not an 8.5. I really like mine, though the sensor placement does take a little while to get used to, especially coming from a G500.

Known about/wanted this thing for months now. shut up and take my money :roll:

Change isn't so bad Advantages of Windows 8.1: More color options Desktop wallpaper on start screen provides more uniform experience Boot to desktop Easy access to "All Apps" section of start screen Start (ish) button with easy right click access to shutdown/reboot/etc Cleaner install...

Cool, but aside from aesthetics, I don't see what this has to offer over the original Trigger. Sure having different backlight colors is cool, but you lose the 2 USB ports on the back and the cable looks alot cheaper/thinner than the super heavy duty one that came with the original. I do think...

Exactly, and if you walk into a Best Buy and ask the associate which PC you should buy, 99% they'll point you toward a higher cost (higher margin) model. Then when the customer responds with "Well what about this one with the Pentium sticker on it, its $200 cheaper" The associate responds with...

Maybe not us enthusiasts, but the vast majority of regular users will walk into Best Buy or see a PC with the plain looking Pentium or Celeron sticker on it they'll assume it's a cheap/lower end model.

Is it just me or don't people associate Celeron and Pentium with "low end" and "slow" as well?

Price... From what I've read, its sounds to me like the quad core is an A6-1450 Temash. An alternative to this would be the Acer V5-122P, which I played with for about a week. Very nice 11.6" IPS panel, same resolution, 500gb 5400rpm HDD instead of SSD, and obviously no Galaxy integration, but...

First of all great keyboard, second of all (and a bit off topic) I would love to see a poll of how many of us have actually done this. I can't remember a time in all my years of gaming that my button mashing went crazy enough to accidentally hit the windows key. No judgement, just curious ;)

Just about every board from MSI and Asrock support 2133mhz including the A85x Micro ITX board from Asrock, as well as most of Asus, Biostar, and ECS's higher end boards. Heck even my A55 board from MSI I paid $40 for supports it.

I'd be curious what kind of mobile APU AMD could come up with with a 55w TDP.

Post PC I'd say the declining PC market is the result of four factors that all tie together: 1. Just about every PC sold in the last 2-3 years is still sufficiently fast for almost all users. Why would people purchase a new PC if the one they already have is plenty fast for all the tasks they...

This is an industrial PC, plain and simple, and as an Systems Admin in a manufacturing environment I would say heck, slap a couple more com ports on this thing. They are used for a huge number of devices in industrial setting, weight scales, labeling printers, PLCs, line controllers, photo eye...
