[Updated] Why Subscribe to Neowin?


Recommended Posts

I think the emphasis on paying the subscription should be to support the site and not for what you receive for doing so. If you are here alot, and you enjoy your time or it helps you with tec info, i think you should if you can afford it, pay the subscription.

ya we can very well see u spend ur whole day on NEOWIN

few months ago someone start dreaming about neowin in sleep .........

don't worry u will also come in same situation in few months ......

I won't, I'm not that 'Sad', that the only thing I can think about is Neowin.

I think if you use Neowin alot or are on there alot the most of you can do is Subscribe to help the site out its not because people dream of it, yeah we joke about it but we aren't that sad.

@ Abhishek Kapoor -

I think that was me

In this thread

Dont worry, I've got over it now... I can safely dream about abducting children again :)

ohh ya u r the same person ...HOW are you ? now u r fine ....

now i think u don't think about neowin ..........

so i think now a days u see lots of michael jackson movies or songs thats why u gream about abducting children

DUDE .. excess of everything is BAD .... SO be in ur LIMITS ..... :laugh:

and after that don't start watching PORN to much

I've been thinking about it, just mainly to help support the site because I like it and use it alot :)

However, like others are saying, I don't think I should have to see the ads if I'm PAYING.

Most sites you pay for don't have any.

I subscribed because I've been visiting this site since oh... 2001? It's only fair, I figure I've cost them more than the $16AU subscription in bandwidth over the years! Also, I personally don't mind having the ads still, they never bothered me in the past, they still don't! (except the inline ads that sometimes come up and stay for no reason until you find another inline ad and hover over it and release, but you get that!)

Seriously, they really don't get in the way at all. Heck, I use Adblock but I've turned it off specifically for Neowin even though I'm a subscriber. If it's a site you like and you want to support, why complain?

I subscribed yesterday because I finally decided how much I love Neowin and wanted to support it, for all the hard work NeoBond and other staff have done!

I cannot wait till I get my new sig, coloured name, avator and stuff! Looking forward to it! :D:D:D

I have to say I've noenstly not noticed any ads... and the reason for that is proberbly because I don't go around looking for them. I haven't noticed any which are blatently obvious and there aren't any on the forums are there? I'm not using an ad-blocker, before you ask.

Because the ads are not very noticable to some, Neobond should keep them for subscribed members in my opinion because it brings him more money, which is what he needs to keep the forums running smoothly, and also he deserves it for all his hard work and time.

About the "Boobies" topic: That sounds... interesting! :p :p :p

How long does it take for you guys to get 'subbed' i 'upgraded' via NoChex 2 days ago and i'm still waiting for an Admin to get round to it?

Putting you in the Subscriber still is, as far as I know, a manual process. You'll need to wait till the responsible admin, Redmak, finished the file.

Yeh, I subscribed last week and I think it took three to four days, because it's manual. You should definately get into it before the end of the week.

Did you use PayPal?

    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse).

    • We are reached to the point that apple looks affordable and better choice than anything else, in what dystopia are we living in....
    • Ouch. $1600 for 256GB SSD / 16GB? Even Apple, the purported "target" of Surface devices for a long time, has its MacBook Air M5 at 512GB SSD / 16GB RAM for $999 MSRP. Surface will never be reasonably priced with such low volumes.
    • Sadly price is pretty in line with the other new X2 devices so far. RAM/SSD prices have ruined everything.
