Guys, partner found. thanks. closing the thread.

Dear TI users, as some of you might know i have a car performance parts business in Brazil. There are quite a few products i'd like to purchase from Germany and my current partner is very hard to reach at times, so i am looking for someone who lives in Germany and is willing to make a few bucks by forwarding packages to myself in Brazil. Would be nice if that person would have some background in automotive tuning, but it's not a requirement. Let me know if you're interested either by PM, or, here's my whatsapp where i am available 24/7 -

4k reads are a bit on the low end, other than that quite impressive for a downloads drive lol Tapatalkin'

Any info on how to OC the Dell u2410 under Mac? Tapatalkin'

How did u screw your Mac hahaha? Regarding booting my current ssd I am giving up, it's seems like too much work tbh :-) Hopefully I'll get used to the new os fast. @Tech Inferno Fan thanks for your explanation! Detailed and to the point as always! Tapatalkin'

Hum.. I did get the nvidia version but wasn't planning on any eGPU implementation. So you're saying it's out of the window with nvidia? Also, from your response I understand there isn't really a way to boot the ssd I have right now directly. In that case I'll just install windows alongside macos and reinstall my work environment. Seems like quite a lot of work to make an external storage boot able. Tapatalkin'

Yeah i see some solutions by owc and sonnet. Problem is I am not sure I'll be able to boot from it. Tapatalkin'

Silly me, I assumed there's a esata port :-) If I can somehow connect it via e-sata I don't see why. But connecting as esata isn't an easy task too. I see some adapters, but not sure which would be my best option. Tapatalkin'

As some of you might know, i've got rid of all my alienwares (m18x and m11x) and instead ordered the latest MBP 15". I know i can install windows on it using bootcamp, but that's not what i am looking for. I pulled the windows 8 SSD i had in my m11x and would really like it if i could just boot from it on the mac so i don't have to reinstall all my work environment (DB, Visual Studio, tons of IBM stuff => abour 3-4 full days of work). I've got a e-sata enclosure i could use to connect it to my mac. Hope that's possible guys. @Tech Inferno Fan - i believe you can help me out here

Nice, I didn't even consider the m3800, will definitely take a good look at it as I love that line and always wanted a precision. The 13 mbp configured the way I want it is about 2.2k so the Dell is a good competition. I though about the 15 but too big and heavy for my current requirements. I am a bit off put by the visual appearance of the X1 and the relatively low resolution screen otherwise it's quite appealing. Would you guys say the dual core i7 is very underpowered? @Khenglish - nope, don't need to do any cad work or anything else graphic intensive. Tapatalkin'

Hey guys, as some of you might now, it's been a few months since i've sold my m18x, and have been using my m11x-r3 exclusively for work. I love it but it does start to show signs of weakness for what i need. My work often requires me to run a VM, an application server based on Java (that takes quite a lot of memory and CPU time) and and IDE environment. While the M11x-R3 copes with these tasks, i do wish it could be a tad faster here and there. So i decided to sell it, and buy a current top of the line business laptop. So here's my list of "demands" Must have 14", i'll do 13 or 15 but prefer not to, as 14 seems to be the sweetspot for me Lightwight as possible (4lbs is the maximum) at least 1600x900 resolution but higher if possible Good battery life Strong processor At least 8 gigs of memory Great build quality, preferrably not plastic USB 3.0 Nice to have Lots of USB ports as i always seem to need them 3G connectivity International warranty and support Don't care Gaming performance Price isn't a deciding factor, let's say i'll pay up to 1800USD for something i love and will serve me a few years. Been looking at the HP ZBook 14, Thinkpad X1 Carbon 14" and Macbook Pro 13". I am not at all a Mac guy, but honestly, the Mac seems as the best of the bunch. Any good models i've missed or any other suggestions ? Help T|I gurus!

Thanks man, very good info! Liked the butter / cookies idea! I'll start keeping the vaped material. Will surely look into the digital volcano. Cheers! Tapatalkin'

I am open to suggestions :-)

Nice idea. I am loving my pax, but a stationary vape is a nice idea! Would you say it's an overkill to use a bag vape if you're smoking by yourself? I am afraid it'll be a waste of ganja Tapatalkin'

No error messages, I didn't notice the icon change color but yes, I double click on it and the program opens. I'll try what you suggested and let you know. Tapatalkin'

Practice how? Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4

Quit it a while ago. Waaay too repetitive. Got quite good gear left on my wizard, didn't even try to sell it. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4

Have has this mouse for a few weeks now. No issues with software whatsoever. I did remap a few buttons but not for gaming, i use macros in my work flow so I mapped a few of them to the buttons. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4

Guys, just a remark. All credit goes to svl7,i was simply following his instructions to unlock it and I take absolutely no credit for the unlock. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4

If the Intel card is active the nvidia card isn't visible at all, even by the bios. I meant that I had issues running with nvidia active and the drivers from nvidia site, only open source worked for me. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4

I had similar issues. Just the open-source driver worked for me on centos Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4

Did you buy it like this? I mean with the boot failure? Sounds like a faulty video card/vbios As for the latch - hate this crappy plastics. No way to order replacement from Dell, and yeah, they break real easy! Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4

Ребята, давайте по английски пожалуйста. Хоть я и говорю по русски, форум весь на английском. As to the translation : @Alexkompot is asking for a GTX670m modded vbios, but he failed to specify which subvendor and how much mem does the card have so hopefully he will and we'll be able to sort him out. @Okstis - thanks for the guiding him. Cheers.

@svl7 helped me out with the bios. It's ready. @Eats7, I'll PM you a test version tomorrow. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4

@Florin @octiceps please refrain from personal insults and stay on topic. Arguing is fine, insulting is not. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4
