Tell me everything wrong with the surface book. Friend wants to buy one, even though it is 200 dollars more than a rMBP
It's better than a rMBP despite its shortcomings.
Most of the failings are software related and have been getting hammered out fairly quickly. Others have had no issues at all.
It's a reasonable buy if they genuinely want a 2-in-1 solution and is the best one on the market.
If they're an actual artist however, I would advise a SP4 over the SB.
Otherwise if you want specifics check out /r/surface to see the good and the bad in its current state.
Stop trying to tell your friend how to spend their own money to fit your own ideals...

>Microsoft is opening new data centers in Germany to allow European customers to hide their digital information from US government surveillance. The new data centers will open in late 2016 and will be operated by a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom. However, The Financial Times notes that customers will have to pay extra to store their data in this way. "These new data centre regions will enable customers to use the full power of Microsoft’s cloud in Germany...

Hey /g/ I need a new graphics card for my PC so that I can run fallout 4. I don't want to spend hundreds on the latest tech, just something that'll cope with the game on say medium settings.
Any recommendations?
>>51297659
> I don't want to spend hundreds on the latest tech
quad sli gtx 980 ti
for 60 fps medium settings
I was thinking something like pic related

is vivaldi usable now, or still glitchy?
is it botnet or linked to russia or some shit?
I'm finding it hard not to like this browser. even the interface is getting decent with the dark theme.
It's fucking gay dud3
I tried it a couple of weeks ago, there were plenty of rough edges. Niggling little things, really; what really bothered me was the generally terrible performance. Might as well use Firefox.
>>51297635
das why i rike it <8^)
I'm so fucking tired of this generation of browsers. They're all shit.
Best browser that came out of the tests for me is Cyberfox, up to date unbloated x64 FF fork.
But FF is so fucking slow and borky.
What is /g/ using?
>inb4 all kinds of shitty non compatible loonix browsers (midori, icecat and that crap)
fuck chrome/chromium botnet
fuck slow firefox and its forks and its crashing flash
fuck opera, where is my fucking homebutton?-botnet.exe
fuck the russian vivaldi and yandex botnets
tried the chinese...

you know, the fucking problem is, when i have a site that refuses to load or anything, it just werks in IE.
why?
also bump
I don't want any bias or info that doesn't apply. I want data and benchmarks for 1080p gaming that shows which is the objectively better card. Ignoring the 3.5gb vram and the overheating and power consumption of and, I'm only worried about which puts out the most frames and consistently.
>>51297497
Get an R9 290 instead
b-stock 970 or a 290 if they can still be found
970 is the better value for 1080p as it can be reliably overclocked to 980 performance and you won't have to deal with AMD's crippled tessellation/bad drivers
just youtube "[game i want to play] r9 390 vs gtx 970 benchmarks"
they're basically the same card. same price, same performance, so it really doesn't matter. you'll find that some games get 2 more fps in one card and other games get 2 more fps in the other card. personally i'd get the r9 390 because moar vram and nvidia is run by anti-consumer kikes.

I ordered it anon, but bare in mind the early phase of bugfest. If you don't mind a bit of a buggy experience for a month or two then get it.
Cant find any open build threads so here I go.

fan controller is pretty dumb
paying for windows is worse
Op here. I will get rid of fan controller right away. However i have no clue how to pirate Windows so that's why I'm buying it.
Hey /g/,
I want to upgrade my GPU after 4 years with my GTX 560ti. It was a pretty decent card when I first got the computer but it's really showing its age now. Finding a better one isn't difficult, but choosing the best one for the money is a pretty tough task.
I'm looking around the $200 range and so far the best contender seems like this Sapphire Radeon R9 290 100362SR 4GB. It's pretty much right at the $200 mark on newegg (after a $20 rebate). I've heard some bad things about the GTX 960, not that it's necessarily a bad card...

the 290 is better. but better look at a r9 3xx Series Card.
and no reference card!!
Just got that exact card, its okay but i still experience a decrease in fps after 2hrs of gaming due to heat which can easily be resolved by just revving up the fan speed for a minute
>>51297365
I'm not really sure how to tell a reference card from a non reference card.
The 3xx series in the same price range were R9 380 cards. Would that be a better route? They seemed more dated than the 290.
