    Surface book 2 and dock with 4k

    I would be grateful for any help with this as it is driving me crazy. I move to the new surface book 2 and got a surface dock. However, this won’t see my 4k screen most of the time and shows it as 1920x1080 which looks terrible. When I mess around with it, turning things on and off and...

    What happened to the 8Pack Ryzen bundles?

    Do these now only come with the AIO cooler? Got one myself last week and had planned to pick one up for my son.

    Core parts for a Ryzen build

    Ordered the parts above. I will be travelling for a week and didn't want to come back to higher prices. If I come back and something better is around I will change. I'm looking forward to playing Prey!

    Core parts for a Ryzen build

    Yer I'm sold on ditching the 1070. As much as anything as my last card (now sold) was a 390x and I want a bigger jump in performance. I will keep an eye out for deals these coming weeks. The only questions are: 1) do I consider a Vega 64 over the 1080 possibly waiting for new non-reference...

    Core parts for a Ryzen build

    This will be a temporary case. I am just trying to minimise my outlay right now without weakening the system in the future or wasting too much money. I have no set budget. I wont miss the £26 and it will get the system running until I pick up something better. My main concern is the board...

    Core parts for a Ryzen build

    Thanks for the suggestions. Will have a read about the power supply and add it to the order along with the HD. Ordering the thermal paste as I have ran out and need for other systems. No problem about the thread Paulo, good luck starting one. Not sure what you mean by needing 5 names.

    Core parts for a Ryzen build

    I'm considering a completely fresh build, and am mainly looking to get the core system right now, which I can add to over the next year or so. I have selected the strix and the team group as they appeared to be commonly used. Is there an agreed best value combination for the Ryzen system...

    Recommend bike for a commute 12.5 M road/path

    First ride took 56 mins. I was hoping for closer to 50, but I beat the bus so good enough. Cheers for all the help.

    Recommend bike for a commute 12.5 M road/path

    I'm going to pick it up today. Cycled home last night. It was a pleasant ride tbh. Looking forward to the new bike as my current bike feels like I am riding a tank after a few miles. Will consider mudguards towards the end of the summer. Also...I stated watching Legacy and it seem to...

    Recommend bike for a commute 12.5 M road/path

    Cheers will do. Think I will sleep on it and then decide if I want to commit to the commute tomorrow. Feeling fairly positive about it today and looking forward the the time neutral (no extra time out of my day) cardio.

    Recommend bike for a commute 12.5 M road/path

    Currently I am using a second hand bike I got given APOLLO KALAMUNDA MENS BIKE Quick search indicates it is a cheap halfords bike. Unlikely to get any leisure riding unless it with the kid. This would be slow riding over various terrain so the Apollo will do the job. The route is all bike...

    Recommend bike for a commute 12.5 M road/path

    I cycled to work for the first time today. Roughly 12.5 miles from Witney to the centre of Oxford along the a40. While it was certainly not painless, for my first try I was happy enough with a time of 1 h 9 m. Plenty of room for improvement, but as I don’t cycle at all good enough. Not so...

    questions and alternative to the surface book?

    I'm also curious as to what I am gaining between these two; LENOVO YOGA 900S (m7-6Y75) vs LENOVO YOGA 710 (i7-7500U). I believe the i7 is faster. But the 900S appears more expensive. Am I paying for smaller size and display quality?
