The screen is the biggest draw I can think of. The ultra high resolution is enticing but in my opinion, itsn't really worthwhile because there really isn't much content to be had at 2560x1700 and good luck gaming at that resolution with an integrated intel gpu. Also, don't the retina display equipped macs have some…

I didn't say it was good - just not terrible.

Just because it doesn't fit your use case does not mean the device lacks utility for others. Sure, it doesn't have great battery life which hinders the portable "tablet" functions but 4-5 hours isn't terrible for a full blown computer experience on the go. Sure, the screen is smaller than most laptops so it might make…

"No one cares about the form factor of a tablet" - really? That must be why iPads sell so poorly. You should call up apple and let them know that people don't care about the ipads form factor and to slap a keyboard on that thing quickly so they can stop losing money.

Sure - you can get an i5 laptop for less than $500 dollars but it won't be an ultraportable. It will have a keyboard attached and will weigh 2-3 times as much. I have a nexus 10 and it certainly can't do all of the things a surface pro can (namely run full-blown windows programs). The $1000 is a small premium you pay…

"these Core i5 tablets cost twice as much as their Android and iOS competitors" - Android and iOS are not competitors to the Core i5 tablets. You would think "laptopmag" would be able to identify it's own namesake. The Core i5 tablets are laptops in the form factor of a tablet - not tablets with poor battery life.

For extreme game modding like that in Skyrim, I'd be interested to see if a 3GB 660ti card has any advantage over the 660ti 2GB or even how it stacks up against the 670 2GB. I have a feeling that the 2GB 670 would still be faster than the 3GB 660ti (just speculation). I could see the 3GB 660ti having an advantage of…

Yeah - you just happen to post a link to "one website" that has a non-functional emulator and try to pass it off as your method of playing PS3 games on your computer when it's a well known fact that it is not currently possible (and likely never will be possible) to play PS3 games using an emulator on a PC . Stop…

Do you even look at the links you post? "RPCS3 is PlayStation 3 emulator and debugger. As of June 2012, it's versions can run only small homebrew software for the PS3." - I'm sure you're having tons of fun playing all those awesome games! Carry on troll.

You're telling nothing but lies which is usual for a troll.

Those emulators are garbage. Only one of the emulators on that page actually can run a game and that game is Halo 1 and it is not playable. I see on the rest of the site that there is no mention of Xbox 360 or PS3 emulators so how do you explain that? Trolls are those who are telling people they are emulating xbox 360…

You're the troll I'm referring to but you obviously are too dumb to have picked that up.

You forgot trolls. Trolls can totally play uncharted on their PCs.

I hear the 3gig 660ti's are a ripoff. You're not going to be running an nvidia surround setup with a 660ti where it would be neccessary to have that much vram. You'd be better off sticking to a 2GB version and saving some dough. That said - if you plan on getting another 660ti for an SLI setup and then doing surround,…

Its not that you don't need to, its that you aren't able to because THERE ARE NO working xbox 360 or playstation 3 emulators. You're full of shit.

That's the spirit! I just keep seeing these arguments saying PC gaming is cheaper than console gaming and its just not true if you really want to have the vastly superior experience a PC offers. I wasn't entirely satisfied with my GTX 670 so I sold it to a friend and upgraded to a 690. I think this should last quite a…

I don't need jangling keys on a string when I have my GTX690/3770k rig and an Xbox 360 but you're going to need something to do if you're planning on emulating the current generation of consoles so you should probably keep those keys and the string. Working Xbox 360 and PS3 emulators DO NOT EXIST. Your ignorance is…

Show me a link to working Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 emulators... oh wait, whats that? they don't exist? Oh...

You'll have to enlighten us - how is that you're emulating Xbox 360 and PS3 games on a PC? Maybe you're talking about emulating 10-15 year old Nintendo64 and PS2 exclusive games? Sounds so fun!

Sure, you could put $100-$200 into a video card and be at the same spec level of the console but that $100 - $200 graphics card is only go to let you place the latest games with better graphics/performance than the console for maybe 2 years and then you'll need to upgrade again or be left unable to play the latest…
