Touchscreen laptops are utter shite, imho. If you want a laptop get a laptop, if you want a tablet get a tablet.Quote:

Sell the wife and buy a surfacebook
but everything microsoft makes it utter shite and falls apart 1 second after any warranty expires, or the terms of the warranty is broken (in the view of their lawyers).
I still have the Surface Pro 1, it works perfect and its on Windows 10 now
1 - when did you buy it?Quote:

well there you go then. clearly a peace of shit like every microsoft mouse I have bought that is utterly shite.
Windows 10 - when you have it on your computer, your computer and internet bandwidth is then used to install windows 10 on other computers, like seeding on pirate bay type of down loads. There is no way to stop it. If you have a limit, or are not on an unlimited internet package, this costs you money. Just sayin' like. .
should have WiDi or miracast / screen mirroring etc - but still who cares , just stream from some NAS box on the network which you have doing your torrenting for youQuote:

It's just language. If he were capable he might have written something everyone could understand but as it is, with most nerds, he lacks the ability to communicate his knowledge properly.Quote:

No good. That will cause combolation on the grimbling flange.Quote:

but now - 12k for an evo 960 500g - I thought what the fcuk - I will put an M.2 into the desktop and put the 2.5 inch in my laptop
so thus - nerd porn

and again I bought it from invadeit - as always easy and a pleasure to deal with
M.2 drives are still quite expensive..Quote:

Will sit in the 2nd SSD bay of my laptop and will be re-used in other laptops when this one get obsoleted in a year or so.
it is that raw speed that girds my loins :)Quote:

just a heads up for those who buy a new kaby lake processor
good chance the motherboard bios needs to be flashed first
so if you get a new mobo and kabylake , you might need a skylake on hand to flash the bios on the board first
if you boot with the kaby lake processor you will boot without a post beep and it will sit there whirring away looking good but not video output
then you will be scratching your head and hitting google to find out the above :)

Can I expect that an M.2 NVME drive will work or do I have to buy the cheaper and slower M.2 SATA drive?
M.2 is a socket connected to the PCI-E bus and you do not want less than 4x - 4 lanes
not sure what a M.2 sata is - I know you can buy adapters for a M.2 stick to fit inside and have a sata 3 interface , but unless you are futureproofing your SSD purchase - though they will become cheaper anyway - the sata 3 6gbs will limit your i/o to the SSD
what is the actual laptop you are considering ?

B and M keying seem to be the most common ones in laptops and it is important to know which keying your laptop has, one of them has only 2 x pcie while the other has 4 x pcie.
Both of them has the SATA pins and there are M.2 SSD which are SATA only, Invade.it has one and the transfer rate discloses it.
The laptop in question was a 2 year old MSI gaming laptop which had a M.2 SSD SATA which could be swapped out for a M.2 pcie SSD.
Laptop mfgrs in general are quick to advertise that they have one or two M.2 connectors but they seldom tell which type, you can sometimes find it out by looking at the spec for the SSD they use.
the 2 lane M.2 PCI-E was the older x99 northbridge chipset , while the 170 came with 4 lanes , and now the 270 same and so on
my laptop has a half size miniPCIE - I purchased a 128gig to install in it ( OS's ) - I could never find the speeds associated with the port
I believe it was more intended to take a radio card
