Mmmm... Fried cheese hat.

That's exactly what I'm thinking too. It shouldn't have ever come to this. We shouldn't have to risk our freedom to be mistaken over something like this but it's aggregating ALL the garbage on the internet without any context for a reader to know where the source came from or all the ways a...

I have directly experienced really bad results from this crap just in the last week. Since you can't easily disable it, you encounter it at the top of most searches. Well, if you actually use search for anything serious... like trying to search info for heat treatment of certain metals, or a...

Smoking hot. Told a friend who needed one. Thanks. It's a great CPU for the price if you need dual use and crazy efficient. You just have to take a deep breath and stop worrying if it's the best gaming on the entire planet or not. It's close. Very close.

It was doomed from the start.

THAT is my single big gripe about the CX48. The physical shape and weight are moronic. It's virtually impossible to move solo safely. It's got so much bulk in the middle and down low on the back, it makes no sense whatsoever why the panel is paper thin all along the top. What dang difference...

It will. This is completely true. If you don't mind the watermark, nagging, and inability to customize your desktop theme, you can just use the Microsoft official installer and run Win 10 or Win 11 without EVER activating it. Not recommended, but you certainly can. You may or may not get all...

I've been rocking one of these since launch. Good CPU. Near perfect balance of price and performance. But is it STILL a perfect balance of price and performance against other options? Harder to say. It's still one of the most efficient CPUs for all workloads ever made. It air cools fine...

Never heard of that one. Mine seems ok so far. Any chance the delam issues are screens that have had the panel replaced? You never see any kind of flat panel screen do that these days, cheap or not. If the screen is capable of delaminating in less than 10-15 years that's just plain a design...

And I can agree with that idea, but has anyone seen any videos or articles of actual named companies adopting this device? Did Apple work with any software or commercial corporations pre launch to get this device working at least in beta with their workflow before launch so they would have...

Just out of curiosity how are returns handled on something like this? The credit card processing percentage fees that stores have to pay to take them back will eat them alive.

It's DOA. At $3500 it literally can not sell enough units to not end up orphan and dead after a year. After the Apple fan "just buy it" wave subsides there won't be any more buyers with that kind of money. People act like anyone can buy anything if they adjust their priorities accordingly...

I agree my primary use case for one of these is HTPC or multi-role office system in a really small light case that may stay on constantly. It provides "enough" of everything to do everything at a low power and low heat output. But if for ANY reason 3D performance is the primary desire that is...

Yeah, these are a great specialty combo. As Gamer's Nexus showed... if budget gaming is all that matters an i3-12100 and a RX 6600 or 6650XT are twice as fast for the same money or less. But the 8700G 8 Core is a decently fast CPU and has $150 worth of video bolted on and it does it at...

Looks like it's up again. RoldanLT working late. :) Thanks.
