Confirmed working PC Hardware (old and new)

TOS good expect for terrible episodes. TNG awesome starting 3rd season. Voyager awesome, Enterprise was kind of OK, but problems. Discovery's best season IMO is their 3rd season, loved it. I think first two seasons have a few issues.

TOS was quite horrible. But, sometimes funny. Lol.

TNG and ENT got better from season 3. I think DIS too. VOY wasn't bad. Although I didn't like Neelix.

@StarTreker

And with Picard, there is a lot that needs to be explained. As it is right now after the 1rst season, leaves much open to determination, and there is just a lot I don't get. Like, perfect example, why is Star Fleet so different since the 90's shows?

From what I understand, from the accompanied comics, other novels, and the show, the aftermath of the Dominion War caused the fleet to be extremely weakened, return of the Borg threat, collapse of the Romulan Star Empire, threat of member worlds secession, and synthetic beings terrorist destruction of Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards and Mars changed Federation society drastically.

They had to reprioritize scarce resources, and societal attitude to acceptance to everything changed.

the invisible nerd

I think she has much potential. Although young, she's has the ability to think beyond what's in front of her, and not rush into things. She'll be a captain and admiral one day.

@StarTreker

Ohhhh, I forgot to say, DS9 is my most favorite Star Trek show of all time, still is, and probably always will be. Best written Star Trek show of all time, awesome actors. And Gerick was my favorite from that show, cause I enjoyed the mystery surrounding that Taylor. Or shall I'll say....Spy lol

Oh yeh, The "tailor" was my favorite character of the show. I never really liked Sisko. I think Avery's overacting was a cause of it.

I like Miles too. But, Ezri took a while to get used to. Bashir too.

That design is awesome mate...i love the lightning around it. Your specs are great too! Want to trade with my older machine ?

[StarTreker]

Hello Michel!

Yes, it uses a unibody design like a sports car, it is well designed. That lighting sure draws ones attention for sure, if you had this computer in a classroom, your teacher is gonna make you turn it off though I think, as its a distraction producer lol.

No thank you, I rather keep mine right where it is, no trading for older machines at the moment. LOL! But you have a very nice Acer machine though, its sexy and it knows it. And your CPU is still built on the same nano meter process that mine is built on, which means your's is still relevant for now.

I think the new 11th gen is built on the 10nm process isn't it? But early adopters to 11th gen just slapped with hardware problems. I was smart and stayed away from that mess. lol

Master Laptop

Works very well

[Michel]

@StarTreker, your laptop foto..i cant keep my eyes from it. I truely love the lightning.

1 thing you really should do, delete all those ugly stickers on it

HP ProBook 450 G6

Everything working smoothly apart from the brightness control keys. I can't map them properly, so I have to use the slider from the control panel. Thanks, HP!

I know the feeling, its mesmerizing isn't it?

As far as the stickers, I totally agree they are ugly. But I have a policy I have always followed. Those stickers state the hardware that is in the notebooks, for those reasons, I never remove them.

There are video's on Youtube of this notebook if you want to see. Just copy paste this into youtube...

Very Wise. Though, I admit, I removed them and taped them to a cardboard backing that went in a folder in the filing cabinet.
On the computer, they can rub away.

[StarTreker]

This is also a good idea that I approve of, and since you organized the carboard to go with the documentation of the machine, there won't be any question as to which machine that sticker refers to. I assume you keep the purchase receipt as well.

The only bad thing about buying online, is you don't get a physical purchase receipt. Although, if you have access to a printer like I do, you could just print our your invoice, which is pretty much the same thing as a physical receipt, just 8 by 11 size lol.

Laptop: Acer Predator G9-793-71SJ. Did some upgrades this year, I removed the Toshiba XG3 M.2 512GB and the 2TB 5400rpm HDD drive. In this machine there are 3 slots so i filled them all. Also this laptop came with 16GB ram, i added 2 extra modules to get 32GB.

CPU: Intel Core i7-7700HQ (2.80 MHz normal 3,8 MHz on turbo)
RAM: 32 GB DDR4 2400 MHz (Hynix HMA81GS6AFR8N-UH)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 8GB
NVMe: Samsung 980 1TB (PCIe 3.0 NVMe™ M.2 SSD)
SSD 1: WD Blue SSD M.2 1TB (3D v-nand (TLC))
SSD 2: Samsung 870 QVO 2TB
Screen: 17,3 inch (4K)

The laptop can switch the optical dvd drive easily for a fan "drive". Took this foto from the net, so people got the idea what i mean.

[StarTreker]

Thank you for showing off some delicious photo's of your computer. I see your computer does the RGB scene as well, that probably is quite mesmerizing too hehe. The perty colors

I did not know about that little detail with your computer, that you can swap out the ROM drive, so you can install a fan unit, to cool a gaming machine that is going to need cooling, more then it needs a plastic ring inside it.

I think its cool that you upgraded the RAM in it, with 32GB, all the RAM you will ever need. No game shall stop you, HAHA!

[Michel]

Compared to your awesome led lights, mine already looks to old haha. Your lights looks like the tail from the millennium falcon.

[StarTreker]

Well, it was indeed manufactured in the same Corilian factory that the freighters are made. We gotta really utilize those uni-body designs, its kind of a requirement. HAHA OK, you showed me your computer's rear-cooling vents.

So that means, now I gotta show my computer's rear-cooling vents, so lets compare!

And to make sure you all see whats under the hood, I need to post this too. You can visit my imgbb account profile to see all my pictures on this beast. For now, here's one more.

FrenchPress like spaghetti and Quantum Entanglement, the vapor heat pipes look a bit tangled, but its functionally tangled HEHE.

[Michel]

You opened your laptop to show here on the forum ? .

2 nvme slots right ? and a processor without cooler

[StarTreker]

I see the heat is building within you, thats love for delicious PCB HEHE.

LOL, I don't believe that is the actual processor, its more then likely the chipset. As the CPU and the GPU both have heatpipe contact with direct fan cooling.

You are correct, there is 2-NVME slots, with only 1 populated for now. I'd love to install a second one, but current prices on NVME drives of equivalent speed and size are too expensive right now.

SO I am using an external SSD drive for now until I can afford to buy a second NVME drive, probably when our tech shortage finally freaking ends lol. And I did forget that I have 4 RAM slots, cause I know two are populated for 32GB.

Max RAM support with this chipset on the board, is 64GB. But I don't run a bunch of VM's, so I have 0 need for that much RAM, it would likely not even get 50% used if I did lol.

Notice the quality Japanese caps on the board? Yeah, no skimping for junk here.

[Sparkey70]

Forgot the About

ESXi 7.0U2d VM's run around 5-10 of those.

Windows 10 Inside of Zorin

[StarTreker]

Yeah, don't forget about the About, cause its always about them specs, them specs, them specs them specs, your frequencies high, your RAM is high, temperature's rising, coil wine singing, VM time baby..............Windows 10. Ohhhhhhh alamode!

I did not know that Windows 10 used that much RAM, 7.8GB. I wonder if Windows11 is going to be any better? Probably not, what we have been seeing over the years, is Windows keeps upping the RAM requirements.

[YukKevChuHau]

@StarTreker

I did not know that Windows 10 used that much RAM

It does. Even with 430 telemetry stuff blocked, uninstalled most applications, turned off unnecessary services; it uses around 1/2 of my 8GB of system RAM on idle.

[StarTreker]

Eeewww, me no lickey!
