I was on here on Saturday night drunkposting about buying a T420s. I got it for less than $200 shipped which makes it a great deal...
It's on the way... but now I am having second thoughts like maybe I should have spent more to get something newer?
I currently have a T510 and love it, but its best use is at home... not very mobile, which I need sometimes.
Assuming the T420s is in good working order I think I will keep it.
However, I'll probably either get a T450 or X220 next.
What do? I might get a spare battery and an extra HDD to put in the cd/dvd slot.
Thanks!
I think you should come ask us at /tpg/
But since this thread already exists,
For the T420s you should get the ultrabay battery, the extended battery and a ssd. Then it's off to the races btfoing macfags left and right
For your next purchase I'd say go with the T450 for something with a bit more kick and better screen

The only real advantage a T420s has for mobility is that it's slim, because it sure doesn't have battery life going for it given you can't expand it. If you wanted something small to complement a T510 then an X220 or X230 would probably have been better, but the T420s is still pretty good in its own right.

>ultrabay battery
The problem is that they're pricey enough to defeat the purpose of buying a cheap laptop, and they're really only useful for hot-swapping bigger batteries.
>extended battery
Slim models get cucked out of them.
is this true? my 3-4 years old setup is not better than the new 4k xbox 1?
Xbox 1 X is the high end one. The Xbox 1 S is literally just a slim Xbox 1. tl;dr no, your computer is faster but the xbox is close
XB1X has a "custom 16nm CPU at 2.3GHz, 8 core". Previous XB1s used AMD Jaguar-series APUs, but curiously only TSMC manufactures on a 16nm node. It's safe to say imho it's a highly clocked Jaguar. This isn't as big a disadvantage as Bulldozer was for PC because if you program directly for it and nothing else, it's actually really powerful.
Moving to the GPU, the basic number to look at for rough estimation is TFLOPs. The Polaris GPU in XB1X puts out 6TFLOPS, your 1070 puts out 6.5. About equal assuming console releases are more hardware efficient.
RAM wise...is this a mistake on the specs sheet? XB1X has 12 GB of, get this GDDR5. It looks like the GPU shares ram with the system instead of vice versa.
New Xbox1 has GPU of RX480 (GTX 1060 equivalent) and CPU of AMD Jaguar 8 core(low clock cpu with IPC of half your cpu).

That GDDR5 reading confused me too at first. So it's fair to assume the graphics power of the XBX is about on par with the GTX 1070?

Found your problem.

HI guys, I'm trying to get a couple of guys together to participate in some CTF'S and learn from each other depending on what your specialty is. You don't have to be fantastic at what you do just prove that you have motivation to learn.
Hopefully we can put together a strong team if you guys are interested. Please state what you're mainly good at below whether it is web app, RE, forensics or anything. Please leave your xmpp below or pm me so we can discuss further things, i might even get a IRC setup for us depending if people are interested.

It's the next big material for PCB boards over silicon. For the right reasons that seem to elude you.

So with all the fuss about cryptofags and AMD cards out of stock I realized I had an old HD7970 laying around. So I did some light research to see if it would be any good, and I found this
http://www.gpuscanner.com/amd-radeon-hd-7970
Is this bs? If not what makes certain graphics cards more suited for certain currencies?
>>60877849
Why would it be BS? The 7970 was the previous gold standard for mining.
>>60877849
The site looks like bs, but the 7970 probably isn't.
>>60877849
that is incredibly out of date, both scrypt and sha have been overrun by ASIC mining. ETH is where all the crypto fags are now, and the 7970 can just barely mine that
So with all these coin miners buying AMD cards what do you expect will happen with AMD stock?
How many GPUs can they actually produce in 5~ weeks since the coin bubble started? Is polaris production at full tilt or is the tooling swapped to vega already hence why the prices are so high?
>>60877404
How new are you?
>>60877435
2008 or so?
>>60877404
They aren't ramping up production to meet demand because it could burst at any moment and leave them with a fuckload of unsold stock.
