2019 Black Friday Thread

[Sofa King]

We started one of these yet? If not, here it is.

What all are we looking for? Nintendo Switch deals? Gun Safe deals? Been seeing some ads rolling around.

I've never played videos games since Pacman. I loved that game in the early 80's, got really good at it, would often score over 100,000. Eventually I stopped playing and have never looked at PS or Xbox. I think if I owned one, I would be more interested in something like flying an airplane. Do any of you think a novice pushing 70 years old would be kept amused with a PS, I would probably need games that I can play alone.

if nothing else play games where you just walk and beat people up or buy a classics package. There are lots of easier to play games you just have to work at it like anything else

Would you care to link up exactly what you are talking about? I thought you were talking about SATA.

You quoted me saying the 660p was suppose to be 4x faster than a drive using TLC NAND. I figured you were confusing the Intel 660p with Intel Optane because then that would make sense.

At this point I'm just going to assume you have no idea what TLC or QLC means. It has nothing to do with the interface of the drive and instead refers to the type of NAND the drive is using. From fastest to slowest there's SLC, MLC, TLC, and QLC. QLC is the slowest of the lot and has the least endurance, though endurance probably wont matter to 95% of people who use a computer because the drive will be obsolete long before the TBW rating is met. The 660p uses QLC NAND where every drive I mentioned, along with the Samsung drives, use TLC, the Samsung Pro models use MLC. So the 660p is one of the slowest options you can find for a NVMe and the price it costs for that Intel badge doesnt make it worth it when you can spend the same amount or $10 more, sometimes less, and get a drive 2x faster.

I thinking of buying a new all-in-one. On Best Buy Black Friday they've two Lenova's I like, which of these two do you think is better and or would you buy something different. I'm trying to stay about $500.

$499 A540-24API 23.8" Touch-Screen All-In-One - AMD Ryzen 3-Series - 8GB Memory - 256GB Solid State Drive

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-...?skuId=6365785



$529 A340-22IGM 21.5" Touch-Screen All-In-One - Intel Pentium Silver - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive

I would go with the Ryzen model. It's a better processor and will feel snappier from the start with the SSD vs the HDD. You get more storage with the Pentium one but it's a HDD so I would eventually look to upgrade both of them down the road with a larger capacity SSD. Plus you get a bigger screen.

I picked up the AMD with 23.5" monitor and it's day and day better, faster, nicer than the 5 year old HP all-in-one that I had. I paid $499 on Wednesday, in today Black Friday booklet the price if $30 higher, $529.

I was all Gaga about that walmart Samsung, but it’s a totally hamstrung version. It has only 10 zones for its backlight manipulation compared to 60 or 90 in the other models in that line.

It’s just like sams and costco when they get those special models made just for them with lowered specs to allow a lowered price.

The tv gurus can chime in. I’m just gearing up to purchase one and I hope I’m wrong, but the specs looked way off to me.

EDIT: I must have confused the 10-zone tv with this one. This one has 96 dimming zones. It was definitely a Walmart tv with a super low price.
