I've had xps' and posted about them. They are very expensive and have flaws that shouldn't be present in machines that expensive like that usb thing and the sound being garbage beyond belief.

i don't have anything to complain about with the sound but jfc is the usb thing widespread?

they also have a noticeable performance impact, turning off the garbage xbox DVR (which you have to fuckin log in to do lmao) gained me at least 10% more FPS in titanfall 2. shadowplay also does up to 20 minutes post-recording. there really isn't anything comparable.

just make a stupid nvidia account and don't link it to anything like a dumbass, it's not that big of a deal. oh noo, nvidia knows my throwaway email address. the horror.

to briefly expand, there will be a malformed usb device accessible for removal through device manager that does reappear on its own after some time without you doing anything

quote:

GN did some further digging, just to make sure. The GeForce Experience is looking at your system hardware, the games on your PC, crash/dump files relevant to the GFE and Nvidia drivers, and it's checking the settings of the games on your system. Packet transactions in and out of the GFE were monitored, and they "almost entirely consist of calls home... with additional GETs for images," used for game box art within the software.

For now, it appears Nvidia is doing nothing out of the ordinary, nor is it breaking any of its policies by gathering data on your system. Any data it is gathering isn't personal, and it isn't being released outside of the company. Angry minds can be laid to rest for the time being.

but idk how i feel about believing what they say about their own sponsor

fair enough, i would spend money on rather blade rather than on xps if the usb thing is widespread (which i now know it is enough for me). preferably something less tacky but oh well, its a hard mix between poo poo wendor, tacky style, and who knows what else for the specs i'd buy

I want one of the new X1s Carbon but I can't really justify the > $2k price tag just yet. My current X1 probably has another year or two of life left in it once I finally get around to installing this replacement keyboard (which is to say, transplant the screen and all the PCBs into a new chassis pmuch)

yeah it's p great and the build quality really is on par with apple. my only complaint is that the drat function keys aren't backlit for some reason?? it's such a small oversight but it becomes that much more aggravating when they got so many other things right

if this and backlit fn keys are really your only complaints then i think ill consider it as an option for the next laptop, since neither is relevant to me
