re: Anybody Own A Surface Pro
Posted by The Connoisseur on 1/12/18 at 6:05 pm
Just got it and love it. I’ve got a desktop with dual monitors at work so I use it for travel and work from home and it’s perfect for that.
If you’re using it as your main work computer, I’d look elsewhere. Not because it’s not fast or anything but because of it’s strengths with on the go use. T...

Posted by The Connoisseur on 1/8/18 at 1:15 pm
There’s a Priority Pass lounge. Probably cheaper than some other options out there.
Do you have a Chase Reserve card? It’s one of the perks with it. They allow up to 4 hours with the priority pass card. Food and drink provided along with WiFi, shower, tvs etc (this is according to the priority p...

Thanks for the help. Dang, I kinda don't want to roll the dice and may just return it and see what the news outlets etc. end up saying and go from there. ...

What's your opinion? Do you think I should return it?
I already have a halfway decent functioning laptop I had before the Surface Pro purchase and don't really need one desperately right now. I could easily wait +-9 months. 95% of my work is done at my desktop at work. ...

I'm admitting to not knowing all the X and O's here but return it in case it was something internal that a push update wouldn't resolve, which it sounds like a new Windows update will fix this.
I've still got time left on the 90 day trial period, so I don't see why I wouldn't if this was somethi...

[quote](the above should only be done temporarily) because they are working on major patch by the middle of the month it may cause a drop as much as 20-30% performance.[/quote]
But like you said, this will only be temporary? Just wanting to make absolute certain I'm understanding you correctly.

Microsoft Surface Pro-Processor Security Flaw-Should I Return It?
Posted by The Connoisseur on 1/5/18 at 7:52 am
I bought the new Microsoft Surface Pro about 15 days ago and love it. However, with this news of nearly all laptops prone to a security breach due to a flaw in the intel chips (I think), should I return it and wait till the next wave of Microsoft Surface's that fix this issue?
I keep seeing conce...

re: Need a reasonably priced, reliable/durable MP3 player
Posted by The Connoisseur on 8/16/17 at 9:52 am
Do you have a smart phone? That should work but if not:
Apple nano or shuffles should fill the need and last a while and good for working out. I've really only had Apples for MP3 devices over the years and they haven't failed me yet.
However, I'm sure there are other cheaper alternatives that...

I'm not much older than you and I had a spreadsheet of every job I applied to, the date I applied, heard back, and some other misc things.
