imschur Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 So I needed a new notebook computer with enough power to work with my Nikon D800. My 8 year old Dell just could not do it. A buddy at CDW found me a great deal on an HP mobile workstation. It has all the right stuff...almost. I dont have it in hand yet and I already ordered a Samsung 840 SSD to replace the factory drive <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 OH...That was your HP mobile workstation ! Hope it passed the drop test ! <dontknow> Guess you'll find out next week. <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFail Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Why the samsung? Is it just that it's huge? 8 years with a Dell. Wow you're going to like this!! 6 months & new one will be outclassed. Technology amazes and it all happened(s) so fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 It's been my experience that the SSD's are pretty unreliable and flakey. My exception has been the Samsung 830's. The 840 is 10 better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPBCTS Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I can build an engine, wire a car from scratch, but I can't tell you how any of this computer stuff works. I know it uses electricity, and that is about it. <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
