      Hopefully you didn't click on this post because it's the gratuitous championing of Hewlett Packard hardware prices.

      They sold me a computer for about $1800 ( and even that's only because I opted for 32 GB of DDR4, would've been a few hundo cheaper ) that out scores 99% of all other fools. This makes me feel warm and cozy inside. The end.

            Now that they appear to have the hot bag problem solved for the Surface Book, I wonder how it compares? On price, it's a starting point match - though for that price I think you get more RAM, but it's detachable.. which frankly was really kinda stupid on MS's part. As an Ultra book, it's the whole thing light enough to not need to detach the screen if you want to show it around?

              3 GB for benchmark software? Ouch.

                @Breffni-Potter It has a tonnnn of different benchmarks in the suite, make sure you do the same one ( upper left of the pic ) if you're going to compare.

                  I should mention, they sold me a computer that was built for warranty-compatible overclocking and that had a water cooler pre-installed. Which let me get the 5820K to a stable 4.5 ghz w/ a few clicks. That combined w/ the 980TI are what make her such a shocking value ( IMH admittedly noob-to-OC O ).

                    I should mention the tests are at phase-3 🙂

                    I'm curious to see how it compares.

                        Mine is an I7-4000 series. Nvidia GPU again.

                        16GB of Ram with SSD. Well a few SSDs.

                            So the HP is about 36% faster. Not too shabbo. This makes me want to compare our scores on the "Work" benchmark to see if that narrows the gap a bit.

                                @Breffni-Potter Are you using the same box you're running the benchmarks on? If so that may be lowering your score.

                                    @Breffni-Potter Ah ok. I only have a latest greatest MacBook Pro lying around at the moment so I can't run the benchmark until tonight because obviously one cannot get work done on a mac.

                                      One can get work done.

                                      If one installs Windows 🙂

                                            @Breffni-Potter Now I know everything about your computer. Including that you have not OC'd it.
