They have to use external HDDs to shuffle documents in and out because the free space is too small. Just add a microSDXC card. 512GB ones are now under $100, for example: https://www.amazon.com/Lexar-High-Performance-512GB-microSDXC-UHS-I/dp/B07KBQQ82D/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=512GB+microSDXC&qid=155973...

I just installed Windows 10 Enterprise 64bit on a Dell Precision T3500 tower, including all updates, and then disabled hibernation and ran Cleanmgr /sageset. Excluding the paging file, this install takes up only 9,595,342,848 bytes, or 8.93 GB.

I met Puppy in Prague two weeks ago! I had invited him to chat over lunch for just an hour or so, but after lunch he ended up showing me around for a couple hours.

Nothing can beat self assembled PC these days (price... Even price? I have to disagree, at least for Dell's and HP's sale prices in the US. The CPU alone, if purchased separately, would often cost more than half of the entire system. Screen The 3:2 aspect ratio is the strongest feature for me,..The...

Very interesting, though it probably weighs a lot. If you guys like phones with mechanical keyboards, have you looked into the BlackBerry Key 2? It has very positive reviews on Amazon. Do you guys really type faster on mechanical keyboards than on touchscreen ones? Or do you just find physical keys ...

I've had phones from 480p to 1080p on a 4.7-5.0" display and I really haven't come into a situation where it really mattered too much for the lower res. 480p still clocks in at over 200dpi, so it's not like 480p a huge deal like it is on say a 10" for 15" display. You probably use only apps that di...

Congratulations! Now, to ensure that you will never accidentally use too much data, go to your phone's settings and specify a monthly data limit. I wasn't too optimistic when recommending FreedomPop to you because you seem to be in a fairly rural area. You may still want to try it for another week o...

Worth the $0.01 gamble! Certainly. FreedomPop makes money through: 1) selling refurbished old phones for more than what they're worth; 2) users who actually pay for those non-free phone plans; and 3) people who use the free plans but accidentally exceed their monthly quota, and get charged somethin...

And is there perhaps a cheaper solution? Yes, FreedomPop has a free plan that includes, per month, 200 minutes of phone calls, 500 SMS messages, and 500MB data. I have had two smartphones on FreedomPop for just over 3 years and never had problems with data usage, although I haven't done enough text...

I understand. However, that fact alone makes them a complete non-starter for silly old me. I understand that "silly old me" is just an expression, but in this case I do think you are being silly, refusing to adapt to new technologies. Eventually your T61p will be too old to do anything useful, you ...

The 43" screens I was looking at were in the 24-25" range with stand, though I suppose I could have pushed the screen to the rear of my desk. You don't push your desktop monitors all the way to the back? I always do that in order to maximize the amount of usable desk space. In fact, by doing so, an...

I still wasn't sure I'd keep them. The pixel density was a bit higher, but what really concerned me is the new monitors were about six inches taller than the old ones, 16” vs 22”. I still wanted run one in portrait mode and when I first started using them, I felt like a kid asking my mom if I could...

I just noticed that there is finally a vote for 2560x1440! My desk at work has two 40" 3840x2160 monitors and one 27" 2560x1440 *touchscreen* monitor. Because I do like to touch the screen, I actually use the 27-incher most often. I definitely prefer the 40-inchers when I do serious work involving l...

I was mildly interested in an earlier model of the GPD UMPC (also 7" with Windows 10") and searched for them once in a while on eBay. Even the cheapest used ones always sold for >$300, so I lost interest. I would be happy to pay $300 for this new-and-improved version. If it were a 2-in-1, I would ra...

I tend to dislike cheap 22" FHD units as I feel there's not enough height. Me too. I had one or two when they were still a fairly novel entity but the novelty wore off quickly. But Acer, Dell and I think ViewSonic have 20" (19.5" viewable) FHD monitors which are not a bad idea if you want to save d...

FHD is just a lot more common than WUXGA. But in this poll I am asking about what people consider to be the ideal resolution, which isn't necessarily the best resolution they have actually used. Whenever I use FHD I feel that it's too short -- for instance it's not tall enough for viewing many PDF ...

As for the max resolution, found somewhere that it's 2048x1536. But still has to be doublechecked. The resolution limit for VGA outputs is always stated as 2048x1536 or less, but on my QNIX QHD2410R and Monoprice 10734 monitors I have had success getting 2560x1440 and 2560x1600 from most VGA ports ...

W500 already has SSD. :parrot: That's all the more reason to go for 8GB of RAM, so you can disable the page file and reduce the number of write cycles on the SSD. I disable the page file on my Surface and HP detachables, which both have 4GB RAM, and once in a while I get a "low memory" warning even...

My choice is IBM A21p. Spports Windows from 95 up to XP (has all the drivers for all of them), yet sound works in pure DOS Wow that's a very favorable feature I never considered before. I do still play DOOM and DOOM2 now and then, so the full DOS compatibility including sound is helpful. And of cou...

I'll most likely be connecting with At&t but what do i need to do?

Get a SIM card from AT&T, and activate it through AT&T.

Looking at the poll results, I am surprised that more people picked 1920x1080 than 1920x1200. On this forum there has been so much discussion of the superiority of WUXGA vs. FHD. The PD3200U panel is definitely 32.0", not 31.5". The dimensions I measured match the datasheet almost down to the millim...

I run two identical 24" IPS 1920x1200 ThinkVision monitors except for the fact that once is IPS and once is VA and the difference is apparent... Several years ago I had two Dell 2007FP's, one with IPS and the other with VA. Comparing them side by side I noticed a difference, but didn't find the dif...

A few more votes have been cast. I must say I am VERY surprised that 3840x2160 is leading. Had I known "4K" is so popular on this forum I would have included more of the high resolutions that I excluded (see my previous post). It takes at least one month or more to select monitor that isn't a total ...

As predicted: 19" 1280x1024 I would say my prediction was probably wrong, because 1280x1024 has gotten only one vote so far. Can I pick 22" 3840x2400 from the IBM T221 Big Bertha? Sorry, it's one of the 11 resolutions I cut, since I could list no more than 16 options. Among the 16 options, 2048x115...

I was about to start a new thread asking whether anyone here likes the super-wide resolution of 3440x1440, typically found on 34" desktop monitors although some 35" monitors also have it, but then I decided to change this into a poll asking what's your favorite resolution for desktop monitors. When ...

I would say it probably was chosen to save money. It was a custom made 13.3" 16:10 WXGA+ LED panel, but still TN – Lenovo could have chosen IPS panels instead, as they clearly had access to them at the time (as they were being used in X series tablets like the X61t or X200t). Ten years ago IPS pane...

*cough* X301 *cough* For the X300 and X301 I doubt that the crappy LCD panel was to save money, but instead to minimize weight and extend battery duration. Had Lenovo wanted to save money, they would have opted for 1280x800 or 1366x768. 1440x900 is hardly an "upgrade" over 1280x800 anyway. That's p...

the keyboard is too light so it won't stay "sticked" with the desk but went up ~5mm on the back side all the time. My Surface 3's keyboard drops all the way down. A while ago I looked up the weight of the Surface Go keyboard and I vaguely recall that it was actually a little heavier than the Surfac...

Lenovo is interested in tons of generic laptops made from cheapest components available (their crappy displays across all price categories has become a trademark)... Acer used to take this approach, which dramatically boosted their sales for a few years, but eventually many consumers realized the i...

Unfortunately the detachable keyboard is terrrible. I saw your other post describing your experience in more detail. I haven't seen the Surface Go yet, but the detachable keyboard of my Surface 3 (which probably has a very similar keyboard as the Surface Go) can be used in an upper position and a l...
