The 32b (q4) model will fit on the GPU, you'll get about 30 tokens per second. If you upgrade the ram to 512GB you can also run the full…

Finally something with decent cooling and priced well, been looking for one of these nvme only devices for a while now. Almost got the…

I have this exact product and can confirm it's legit, runs off 12V DC and has a real ultrasonic transducer. The fake ones have plastic…

The reliability of their hinges seem to be getting worse and worse over the last few generations, probably best to avoid this one for now.

For A2DP they support SBC, AAC and opus. On a Pixel device opus will only be used for spatial audio and can't be used for normal media…

They're decent imo, battery life and ANC are both average, and it's one of the very few bluetooth earbuds on the market that supports…

The WD SN5000 has 600TBW for $12 more, might as well go with that instead. Was thinking of putting together a nas with these drives a while…

If endurance is something you care about, the WD SN5000 is much better at 600TBW for the 1TB model. It's $91 after the $6 coupon, so $12…

A different type of microswitch that doesn't make a loud audible click.

Most basic flashdrives on the market are rubbish these days, don't bother. An SSD based flashdrive is the way to go if you want good…

I'd recommend looking into the Kingston XS1000, XS2000, Transcend ESD310C or similar drives with a controller that has a native USB…

These SMR drives are super slow for random access, but they're quite nice for simple cold backups.

Nice, cheaper than what I got those for last week. Very happy with the comfort, audio quality and ANC so far. Personally I find the battery…

I have a Q556, the fan runs much quieter compared to the HP, Lenovo and Dell boxes of similar age, so I personally prefer these instead of…
