There isn't much content on 4K......yeah, that is true. But even still, the upscale on 4K TV's (at least) makes 1080p look freaking awesome. I am in Abu Dhabi right now, and every time I walk across a 4K TV display, ahhhnn, it's just awesome. The reason I am holding off on 4K is simply cause it's costly right now.
On another note, can anyone find out if HP KU 0316 is a mechanical keyboard (and what kinda keys it uses)? I have searched but didn't find a specific answer on that. And I am not going to remove a key to find out if it is (cause I don't have the stuff required to remove one without breaking it). I have been using this for a while and it does feel a lot better than the laptop's scissors keys (which I love cause it isn't tiring on my small and weak hands :P)

that asus 4K is atm the lowest priced 4K monitor at $650, unless i missed something.
its on my watch list if ever it comes locally, though i doubt i'd be able to buy one, i got CPU/mobo/ram as priority not to mention i need a cherrytrail tablet >,>

--- Quote ---First, let’s get one thing clear — you don’t want a 24-inch 4K panel. At 4x 1080p, screen elements at just 25% their original size. Text is illegible, screen elements can be difficult to click on. Microsoft’s own software packages tend to work and scale reasonably well, but that’s part of the problem — you’re going to find yourself reaching for the magnification tools to push back up to higher resolutions by default — and since software support for scaling is uneven, that means the overall experience is degraded compared to a single resolution with no scaling.

i question this writer's logic, considering that text in 5" 1080P is practically readable, not to mention 10" 2560x1600 screens are beautiful to look at.
these small screens have like 3x the pixel density than the 24" 4K screens, given the viewing distance its of comparable pixel-density at given distances.
e.g. 5" 1080P @ 1foot (scale it to 10" 2160P @ 1foot) [vs] 24" 2160P @ 4feet
android loaded in those devices do support high-ppi screens, and so does windows 8 though not as good in 4K.

ahahaha, keep at it, bring that giant monopoly down.

Actually despite intels bad business practices overall, I quite like the markets they're trying to venture into. E.g. I don't consider the intel ventures into the mobile segment failed yet, especially with the rockchip partnering. Good think they had to pay the fine though, I doubt it hurts them that much with their current market position.
Actually now that I think about it; imagine a soFIA driven mobile phone that has the same wireless tech as a Skylake processor. Wireless charging, wireless data transmission and wireless screen connection in a mobile SoC driven by an Atom (could potentially play 10 bit 1080p without problems ::) ). Add in to that those Toshiba Memristors and the intel in vehicle solutions and you have a perfect ecosystem.
The HP thing looks interesting bus it pretty much doomed to fail if they stray from x86. I don't see any enterprises move away from their current software stacks to something experimental with a high risk of failure and consequent loss of support for the platform.
kitamesume:
they're trying an alternative imho, intel's server chips are getting more expensive.
while AMD chip pure CPU performance had continued to become slower and slower for some ridiculous reason.
why'd they even kept going with the APU wagon when it ended up crippling the CPU to retarded levels... not every app supports openCL and openGL.

finally, a REAL review of the pentium G3258 OCed and stock.
its keeping up with the faster processors, but frame-jitter is quite higher though that should've been a given.
dug real deep in tom's (not-so)recent news and found this.

didn't know they've revised their PCIe flagship.

omg i just found my best case, WTB core 2300 so badly.
Tatsujin:
man this is fucking amazing. I love NAS. I got me a CATe5 and replaced the older version and the bitrate is so much better. I've also fixed the monitor's colors and pre-selected color modes. Everything looks great. Now the family can watch movies or anime without problems.
Edit -- GTX 880 will have 3200 Cudas and will use up to 230 Watts. It comes with 4GB Video Memory, so right now I think they'll double that memory in few months time like how the latest GTX 780s Ti have 6GB. That's possible, right?
