Alright /g/ I have a question and I need your advice.
I'm going traveling and need a laptop on the cheap. I would like to dual boot a linux distro along with windows for photo and video editing along with allowing the less tech literate people I'm going with to be able to use it to call home and what have you.
It needs a long battery life because don't know when I'm gonna be near a power source when we are moving about.
I've been looking at the Lenovo ideapad 100S but I've been reading that it uses UEFI so its a pain/near impossible to install linux. Plus its got soldered memory and is generally shit. I've also looked into chrome books but I don't think you can dual boot with them.
I'm stuck between a rock and hard place here and I need advice. I've got a x220 that I'm using currently, but I don't really want to take it with me due to its battery life being not great and its got a bunch of work stuff on it.
tl;dr Need a laptop for traveling, needs to be able to dual boot win/linux and have a long battery life.
Thanks

Ubuntu, Arch, and Fedora all support UEFI booting. You just need to be able to disable secure boot.

>>56578970
I thought so but from what I've been reading its difficult to install and if you get it to work things fail like the wifi card and sound card become unrecognized, battery percentage stays at 100% regardless if its plunged in and other shit breaks as well.
Thanks for the response

No ideas /g/?
Been looking at an x201 or x200 cheap and just thinking of dual booting and deal with the battery issues.

I got myself a GTX 1070, loving it
Sad that AMD doesn't have any card to compete with it
>inb4 wait for vega
I have waited enough
I initially planned to buy a GTX 1060 or RX 480 but by the time the aftermarket version came out I already had enough saved for a 1070

Why is interpolation so inefficient on windows?
Is it because of the angle backend?
And why does display-resample (alone without interpolation) mess the video playback when my display rate is 60hz. Does it try to sync 23,956hz or 25hz to 60hz? Is it because I have a miserable gpu?
Seriously I can't notice any difference between the medium and high preset. Is it normal?

Not sure what you mean.
Yes, angle will increase frame latency by a fuck ton. Switch to "win" or "dxinterop" to get frame latencies bellow 8ms (usually 4ms no my machine)
Interpolation reduces stutter on 24fps videos but doesn't remove them completely. Also, change your screen to an integer multiple of the framerate to help with the judder. Set your screen to either 48Hz or 72Hz if it supports it. You can create a custom resolution with custom frequency on nvidia's control panel or use CRU for AMD

OP's medium preset uses spline36 scaler:

High preset uses ewa_lanczossharp:

Why is AMD such a bad company? Everything they make seems to be far inferior to Intel and Nvidia.

Remove laptop's then CMOS battery from the innards and hold down power button for 3-4 minutes, voilà the BIOS is back to default settings and the password is gone as if it never was set.

Be real with me. Is the Z170-A as good as the Z170 Pro?
I bought a i7 6700k and a 1070 GPU. It's my first rig and I already blew most of the budget, so I'm looking for the best value in MBs

>>56578184
I have the Z170-A and it works great, the only thing it's missing is Bluetooth, but that's something I can live without. Really you have to ask yourself, what do you need that the Pro had and the A doesn't?
>>
>>56578202
nope i've had 3 core2duo ecs motherboards all fail the exact same way out of warranty, other msi and gigabyte shit from that era is still chugging. There is definitely a difference but you have to research what that difference is and which board benefits your use case.
