Had to move out of my apartment. :( But I found a really nice 4 bedroom house share, I got the smallest bedroom but it's cheap and very nice inside.

 

Is that an ACER netbook or regular laptop? If it is a netbook what resolution does the screen have?

It's an 11.6" Acer netbook, screen resolution is 1366x768. Impulse buy but had a really good spec for the price.

Those LG Monitors are really nice, My mate has one at his office attached to a Zoomstorm PC running Ubuntu and its amazing quality.

 

If you're referring to mine, they are indeed. I paid ?120 each for them, 24" IPS @ 1080. For the price I really really cannot fault them, they even have a sharper more contrasting image for my Hazro. I'd certainly say there's competition between these and higher priced models, I'm considering replacing the Hazro with a 3rd LG.

I'd hold on and wait for the 27" LG IPS that supposedly should be on UK shelves soon (guessing you're UK based on the ?) would be a nice center piece to complement the two surrounding panels.

Hmmmmmmm Interesting.

 

Yes you cant beat it for the price. Think the cheapest I have seen is ?105.

^ Are you one of those people who either loves apple/windows but cannot bring yourself to go fully apple/windows? haha

 

I love both very much however you are right though I could never go fully windows or just apple lol.

 

He is not only one....  My brother has 27" iMac and Windows laptop. Depends on what he is using for.

You are 100% correct, I use both for what I do for a living.(full time internet marketer.)

I mainly use the mac for photoshop task and web browsing and the PC is mainly used because of software that will only work on windows that I need to be successful in my industry.

Wire management! Geez...

Sad thing is the poor wire management is doing more to increase the temps than most other things. With better wire management he should be able to cut down on the number of fans and still get the same cooling performance out of his setup.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
