    ASUS Proart Studiobook Line

    Pro 15 with i7 and RTX5000 for $3999 went up last week https://store.asus.com/us/item/201912AM120000001 Was glad to finally see the listing. It's a moot point for me though as the $3999 price tag is out of my price range. Was hoping for something closer to $2500. Would have probably even...

    ASUS Proart Studiobook Line

    I finally found a couple listings. They don't show up on their website unless you do a Google search or you just search Proart on the Asus store website. No other way to find them. Pro 17 for $1999 with i7 https://store.asus.com/us/item/201911AM080000002/ Pro 17 for $2999 with Xeon...

    ASUS Proart Studiobook Line

    Has there been any more word on ASUS Proart Studiobook line of laptops? We had a reveal over two months ago and then an addition of a flagship model to the line back in October. Everything pointed to a release date soon, but nothing since. Just wondering if there's been any news on these as I'm...

    Laptop Recommendation for Capturing and Processing Astrophotography

    Thanks! I was looking at the ASUS TUF laptops, but you can't configure them and buy them direct from ASUS. You can only buy whatever they have already built in stock apparently. Their website says the display supports 100% of the sRGB color space, but I don't know if it can be calibrated. I've...

    Laptop Recommendation for Capturing and Processing Astrophotography

    I'm in the market for a new laptop. I've been using a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 for a few years now. I have the i7 model with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB hard drive. It works well enough for data acquisition from my astronomy camera or my DSLR and it can run the rest of my rig using a USB hub. However...

    New Surface pen worth it?

    My pen got caught on something while carrying my SP4 and came dislodged. It fell straight down on the tip and smashed it up a bit. It still works, but it bothers me. I could probably replace the tip with one of those kits, but the eraser button also doesn't work for opening apps or anything. It...

    Reset Phone Stuck in Boot Loop

    It's alive! It's ALIVE! Not sure how, why or what was wrong with it. I couldn't do anything with it so I just let it sit and buzz and the battery finally gave up. I woke up in the middle of the night and on my way back from the bathroom I picked up the phone and held it for a bit and it didn't...

    Reset Phone Stuck in Boot Loop

    I have a Nokia Lumia Icon. Per the title, my phone is stuck in a boot loop. Problem is, this isn't your normal boot loop. My phone screen is completely blank. It was working just minutes before it started doing this. Now it just vibrates every 35-40 seconds like it's rebooting. I've tried soft...

    What is ONE Xbox Live feature we still don't have that you really wish we did?

    Add that one to my list too. I don't understand why there hasn't been a wireless screen sharing app before now. I know there IS one, but it's only for people who are in the Xbox preview program, which I am not, and apparently it doesn't even work.

    What is ONE Xbox Live feature we still don't have that you really wish we did?

    In no particular order: 1. DVR 2. Better/more voice navigation 3. Bring back Xbox Fitness 4. More content for Kinect 5. Mouse and keyboard support 6. Digital game pricing that matches or beats physical pricing

    What is the expected life time of a Surface Pro 4?

    I've only had my SP4 for about a year and a half now and can already tell the battery life is degrading. Functionally it still runs perfectly smooth. Battery life is really my only complaint. I feel like I only get about 5 hours of light use out of it before it's complaining about the battery...

    Can you stream PC games to Xbox?

    I've been impatiently waiting for this display app to come off of the Xbox insider program and be released for the rest of us. I've got it on my phone and my Surface Pro 4 already. Unfortunately the Surface Pro 4 doesn't have a compatible display output for my TV (at least not without buying a...

    Are you going to shell out $500 (or more) for Xbox One X?

    It depends. Personally, I have a 500GB Xbox One that I do most of my gaming on and all my games are installed on a 1TB external drive. I installed them on an external so I could take them to a friends place or play them on the 2TB Xbox One S that's in the living room. The only games that are...

    Free Games from E3 Xbox Mixer Steam

    I turned my Xbox on last night and had a couple notifications pop up telling me that some items had been added. Free stuff is free stuff.

    Project Scorpio is Xbox One X

    That wouldn't sit well with me or a lot of other people. I have ISP data caps and some of these games are huge, not to mention all the additional updates that go along with them. One game could potentially eat up to 20-25% of my data for the month. This is just one of the reasons I still prefer...
