Now if I had the money and wasn't bothered about 4.8kg in a notebook, This is what I'd like The EUROCOM Sky X9 is the most powerful "desktop laptop" ever made. It is a completely user-upgradeable, fully customizable and extremely flexible "desktop laptop" design, allowing the Sky X9 to be configured with a plethora of options including desktop GPU and desktop socket processor. cdn.ndtv.com/tech/images/gadgets/eurocom_sky_x9w_official_2.jpg www.eurocom.com/ec/configure(2,336,0)ec |

The problem with Microsoft Surface Pro is "Windows 10". "So you got Windows 10, but now you're worried that Microsoft is stealing your data, even when you turn most the new features off. Let me explain." www.theverge.com/2015/8/23/9191989/windows-privacy-and-youor more to the point A story about catching eight hours of network traffic while just having the PC on overnight. "Like many of you, I am concerned about the telemetry, spying and other surveillance features, known or unknown, of Windows 10. It has concerned me enough to push me to Linux Mint as my main operating system. Even so, I wanted to better understand Windows 10, but internet search results for a decent windows 10 traffic analysis leave a lot to be desired. As such, I decided to do my own investigating on what, exactly, Windows 10 is doing traffic-wise, and post the results. For this analysis, I wanted to simply analyse the network traffic of Windows 10 on a clean install, and just let it sit and run without using it. ... Here is the roughly 8-hour network traffic analysis of 5508 connection attempts of an unused, base install of Windows 10 Enterprise" voat.co/v/technology/comments/835741 |

Comes loaded with Windows Pro 64 bit (original) as standard and was running windows 8.1 I liked Windows 7 much better. But my kids spilt beer on that computer and it's now gathering dust under the bed. But the reminders kept coming, FREE upgrade to Windows 10. After 6 months, I clicked yes, and sorry that I did. The thing runs slower now and does less then I want (user functionality reduced) but, according to the article, more that Microsoft wants. Seriously considering going back to 8.1 ... but just wondering ... will they leave a sneaky sub-program which leaves all their data collecting at W10 levels and just make the computer run as if it was W8.1? |

You had one month to return to 8.1. You did not so you cannot return now without buying a new copy. As you cannot you are stuck. |
