Hi hi, and we now have an awesomely new thread. Hopefully the threat of automagical double-posting is away, at least for the time being.
I've been checking out tablet PCs lately and I actually tried out drawing with the Surface Pro 3's pen. It felt surprisingly paper-like. It's like I'm drawing on paper even though all I'm drawing on is glass... Guess they really have come a long way with pen input. |
I really did wish more tablets had "pen & paper" support in general. It'd be such an excellent note-taking method for college students that love the digital world, such as myself.
|
Oh we sorta have the same laptop TF. I have a Lenovo Yoga which also can turn into a tablet as well. Unlike you however I don't get a cool pen to go along with it, but I do have touch input from my fingers. Sadly there's no point for it as I'm fine with just a touchpad.

I thought I'd never see myself adapt to using a proper tablet, but my grandad recently invested in a Galaxy Tab 4 and it's so nice to use! Granted, it is saddled with the same woes facing any android system (and I am far from an expert in terms of looking after said tech), but, if there was ever cause to consider switching over to tablets from pcs and laptops, I've been convinced. Can't wait to really give Chromecast and the tablet's mirror function a whirl when I have more spare time.

Laptops should really come with waterproof keyboards nowadays.
Also, curse whoever decided I should have to remove the whole front of the laptop to install anything, and have to take out the motherboard to put in RAM. |
As much as I want to upgrade the RAM in my laptop, I really am contempt with just 8GB so far. 👍

I love my laptop and games seem to run just fine on it. I have 8GB as well and it seems to be just enough. Yet, I'm considering putting in some more RAM, just so I can run games on a higher setting. A friend of mine actually gave me a spare RAM card he had so I could have 16GB of RAM, instead of 8GB. |
I miss my desktop. Had to leave it behind for the parents back in Cali. That machine was a beast. 6 GB with an amazing graphics driver/processor.
I am looking at getting a new one myself. But I have my eye set on a Mac. It's extremely tempting. :( Honestly I can't live off just my laptop. |

yeah, I got my desktop because at the time my 7 year old Vista desktop ate the crapper. And I had to survive a couple weeks without an actual computer (had a tablet, but it wasn't enough) When I GOT my desktop, I was like "ugh i wish I had a laptop so i can have mobility". and I did end up getting a laptop eventually.
Now that I'm surviving Houston with a laptop, I want a desktop now. I'm so weird haha. I think as a computer geek, you gotta have at least a backup just in case. |

Also you people with 8GB of ram are so lucky. My Yoga came with a WHOPPING 4GB which is like soooo much. Cheapskates couldn't even put in another 4GB. :P |

I don't think one should even remotely worry about PC temperatures under normal circumstances, really. Internal temperatures of about 80-90 degrees Celsius are now considered "acceptable". (It's on the verge of throttling, though.)
|
Not with AMD processors, Twiggy. :P
Also, 90C is dangerous even with an Intel processor. Where'd you hear that? :o |
Quote:
I'll just say that some processors have a Tjunction equal or higher than the boiling point of water. For example, the Core i7-4700HQ in my laptop has a Tjunction of 100 degrees Celsius. That's the maximum temperature allowed on the processor itself. Whether the system actually allows the processor to get that hot in the first place depends a lot on the firmware, though, as long as the temperature is below said Tjunction point. One prime example is probably the Core M processors. Some OEMs opt to have the CPUs throttle much earlier than their absolute limits would indicate purely because of its form factor. (Even though the internal temperature might be "safe", a tablet that can actually burn skin is a tablet that doesn't sell at all.) |

The rule of thumb for Intel CPUs last I heard was <90C. So whatever. |
