    The first Copilot+ capable mini PC I've tested doesn't disappoint as a strong rival to Apple's new Mac mini

    Hmm, the Beelink and Minisforum both include only 32GB for the current product. That's not quite enough for to be an AI PC doing image generation. For LLM, it's great! I'm running LM Studio on a 7940HS and the performance is excellent. I will test Ollama & Flowise when I have the time.

    Is Acer's new laptop for 'women and casual gamers' sexist marketing or just cultural differences?

    Cultural differences? We're from Singapore. My wife used to rock a pearl white Fujitsu laptop running Core 2 Duo. She loved that machine. It was much lighter than my Fujitsu TabletPC at the time and the logo glowed IIRC. When it came time to buy a gaming mouse and mechanical keyboard, she went...

    SP7 with Surface Pro X Type Cover with Slim Pen?

    I know Microsoft product page mentioned the SPX Type Cover with Slim Pen is compatible with SPX. BUT, has anyone tried to mate the 2 and see if it works? I mean the dimensions of the Type Covers for SP7 & SPX are similar enough. The pinouts for the connectors should be similar right?

    Are you REALLY using that touchscreen? - Buying Advice :)

    It's simple. I have many devices. Tablets, desktop, Surface Pro. When I'm typing emails, doing software development, play PC Games and editing video. I mostly use kbm. But when I'm consuming content or doing presentation, I mostly use touch. When I edit photos, I like touch and pen.

    Why Continuum failed?

    Continuum on the Lumia 950XL was laggy. It is much better on the Elite X3. However, Continuum is a very niche feature used by a very specific group of people. It didn't fail at all. It could benefit from more features but W10mo is on maintenance mode. And since the next iteration CShell is...

    What's your single favorite game you've played? And Why?

    Star Control II is the game that is etched into my memories forever. Many great games had come and gone. I still play some of them like MechWarrior, Elder Scroll, Mass Effect, Days of the Tentacles and even a little game called Neverhood! :) Those are just some of the best that pops into my...

    What's The Longest Time You've Gone Without Upgrading Your PC?

    I upgrade when it's too slow to run Star Citizen. LOL... Seriously, I upgraded to AMD RX480 2 years ago and Core i7-4790 last year. I upgraded to a Samsung EVO 850 for my OS drive this year and am planning on upgrading my Application drive to a WD Black 2 TB to replace my Seagate Enterprise 2TB...

    Are you buying the new Surface Pro or what?

    I'm happy with my Surface 3 but my wife wants my Surface 3 to watch movies so I'm tempted by the entry-level Surface Pro + Alcantara Type Cover at less than USD1000.
