I had pretty much every light switch and receptacle (minus the 3 I did myself) replaced in my house by two electricians 4 years ago. They charged me $400 and I was pretty happy with that. This seems excessive.

An 8700k at 5GHz is the virtually the same as a 10600k. The difference is so small you would never notice without acculturate benchmarks.

I have the T420. I really like it. It’s quiet and just freaking works. Parts are easy to get. I bought the caster set off eBay so I can push it around and it gets it off the floor a bit. It’s a heavy beast.

Nobody is forced to buy this. If it didn’t sell they wouldn’t make it.

Wi-Fi is half duplex, Ethernet is full duplex. Wi-Fi cannot send and receive simultaneously and it cannot detect collisions.

If I have the choice between wireless and wired, I will take wired 100% of the time.
