I returned the T440s. Ended up getting the Dell XPS 13. I've noticed a few problem areas on the Dell XPS 13 already, and miss a few features that were present on the T440s. However, overall I'm much happier with this machine than the Lenovo - both hardware wise and experience running Linux. I'm...

Decided to return the T440s. Ordered one - had a defective keyboard. Returned it and paid to rush deliver a replacement. Been using the replacement for about 3 weeks now and the screen really hurts my eyes. The click pad is annoying - tho after playing around w/ it for 2 weeks I finally...

Decided on the T440s. Ordered it last night. Should be here tomorrow afternoon.

Buying a new laptop in the next week or 2. Specifically looking for an ultrabook to throw Linux on as the primary OS. At the moment, I'm down to either the Asus Zenbook UX301LA-DH51T or the Lenovo T440s. Both I'd get w/ 8 gb RAM, the i5-4200U, & 256 SSDs (the Zenbook has 2 128 SSDs in a RAID 0...

In hindsight, it would have been easier to find the exact model of the internal components prior to reformatting. I've recently found out the hard way. =/ To johnb35 - what do you do w/ the vendor and id number after you get them? And do you have a suggestion on where/how to get the drivers...

I currently have a 2011 Macbook Air, which I loved when I bought. However, have had a slurry of problems after recently upgrading to OS X Mavericks. I'm in the market for a new laptop. Was originally thinking of the 13" Macbook Pro Retina, but since I've been having problems w/ Mavericks, I'm...

Now I'm thinking about switching the PSU to a Rosewill. They're currently 20% off on Newegg and the ones I'm looking at have 120mm fans for quieter performance. Edit: Don't know why none of my links work. Links were to Rosewill Stallion Series RD450-2-SB and Rosewill Green Series RG530-S12...

I don't plan on doing any overclocking w/ the system. And as long as the GPU can handle a few decade-old games on max settings and a few newer ones (XCOM, Borderlands 2) on medium-low settings w/o lagging, I'll have no need to upgrade. I just need a cheap system to get me thru this school year -...

I'd like to spend less than $150 combined, including shipping, for both components. I would not mind going even cheaper. Have been thinking about this PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026 19.99 after rebate = can't be beat. However, the reviews say it's loud...

My old OCZ Gamextream 700w PSU died. I'm putting together a new budget build. Hopefully it will be a temporary build - only end up keeping it for about a year before making an entirely new build. I want a cheap but quality power supply. It doesn't have to have a crazy amount of wattage - I...

I don't think I'll be getting a SSD, but I will be looking to include as much RAM as your build (or maybe even more). However, I'm hoping to keep the final build well under $1000. I'll probably be using an old HDD, old PSU, and wait to get a new GPU tho (start w/ an old DX9 card). Since about a...

Honestly, I don't really see much of a difference at all between those boards. And they all have similar ratings. Think I'm favoring the MSI at the moment. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130637

Thanks for the explanation. The 2nd board you meant to post has the wrong link tho.

I don't want to go completely cheap on the motherboard. However, I'm only doing light gaming - I don't plan on buying a high-end graphics card nor do I plan on using SLI/crossfire. And I won't be using the extra PCIe slot for a SSD or anything. I'm sure it'd be cheaper to get a similar board w/o...

I like the fx6350. Think I might go with that. However, I'm sure I could go cheaper on the Mobo by getting one that doesn't support crossfire/SLI.

I want to build a new budget build desktop. I want to go AMD since they are much cheaper, but I honestly know next to nothing about AMD. I'm looking for a good chip under 125 USD. Although it is over what I'm looking for, I've seen that the FX-8320 has an amazing performance for the price...

I have an acer myself and I like it. However, i don't think acers are too well known and toshibas look pretty bland. Of course, she could live with one but I think she wants something that looks aesthetically pleasing, has a brand she knows which would allow her to feel secure about her...

What laptop was it? And how much did it cost?

My girlfriend needs a new laptop for school (university). It doesn't have to be the most powerful machine but it does have to be high performance enough to be future proof so that she probably won't have to get a new one before graduation. The basic requirements would be within the 13-14"...
