Regards my recent posts on Ultrabooks. I went for the the SurfaceBook in the end. I am only using it a couple of days but so far it is the best tech purchase I ever made. It is strange when people see it that they ask what it is, which while cool is weird because it should be a much more used/known product.
When doing research it has been plagued with issues almost since launch. Microsoft has essentially been beta testing the Book on the public. It seems like they have been releasing the Surface Pro in an attempt to get a device ready to release a fully functioning laptop which is the SurfaceBook. After release it had nothing but problems. During that year they have been releasing updates all the time and now it seems very stable. Those issues seem to be almost fully resolved and it is now a fully functioning awesome device.
I looked at the new Macbooks but upgrading them with the touch strip is so far behind the times. I am a no fanboy of either but Mircosoft have left them in the dust with SurfaceStudio and SurfaceBook. I don't know why the SB isn't more dominate but I can only guess MS haven't pushed it as hard as they should from launch due to the problems but it is now the ultimate portable laptop experience you can find at the moment. The pen/stylus/Onenote is out of this world amazing. The next generation of kids will ask, what the hell is paper.

€€€€€€€€ but you do make some pretty huge savings on big tech purchases with the way Sterling is at the moment. MS had a promotion last weekend, presumably to compete with the Mac launch. They gave 10% discount off purchase price and a free Xbox S. I used a thing called topcashback(never heard of such a thing till last weekend) to get a further 7.5% off. So -17.5% plus selling the Xbox which is another couple of hundred off. So it was a pretty good deal. Throw sterling the way it is then it turns into a very good deal. I know PC world are generally a complete rip off so it isn't a great comparison but gives some sort of metric. With the promotion/sterling I saved €700+ from MS store on the price of the equivalent model in PC world. MS store even delivered it to Ireland.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View Post
They seem to have taken the brass neck to a whole other level with the SurfaceBook. It is pretty funny reading back on user experiences with it in the early days. It overheated, wouldn't open programs, screen disconnect was extremely buggy, wouldn't sleep, drained the battery like crazy ..... the list is endless of shit that was wrong with it. When you consider the price of it at launch, people would be forgiven for thinking they were buying a premium product with an expectation that it would work like a dream out of the box. Those early adopters must have been ready to kill someone at MS.Originally posted by Elshambles View Post

The way they transfer international hub passengers is terribad. Last time I was there I got hustled into the gate area with 'final call' announcements 60 minutes before boarding but it seems that all they wanted to do was get everyone there so they could announce a 2 hour delay.

That whiskey event was the best I've ever been to, it wasn't 8 drinks, it was drink whatever the hell you want from the best whiskeys around, lots of new ones being launched, really cool. They also had Gin, bourbon and Poitin. I got wasted even with pouring half the whiskey away.Originally posted by Lord Sir Christmas View PostTICKET PRICE: €42.00, plus booking fee. Must be purchased in advance.
TICKET ENTITLEMENTS: 8 drink samples & 1 food sample from each pairing.
Might apply to cover it on behalf of IPB.
Highlight was chatting to the head blender for Midleton, was really interesting. He also gave me a great 22yo and a 27yo from the first cask of Jameson rarest vintage reserve or something, never bottled, anyway it was hands down the best whiskey I've ever had. He had just brought some back from a masterclass in Paris. This lad, great guy:
They were launching a new redbreast (well it's in shops already), really nice. Redbreast Lustau.
Didn't really get much pictures as there was too much to drink:
Nice display, one of the new whiskeys:
Japanese are the best:
Somebody I work with owns this place:
The 22yo I tried, didn't think to snap the 27:
Just what I needed before surgery tomorrow.
So I was chatting to this girl trying to get hints about what wine to get and she is there naming grapes that I don't have a hope of remembering, but then the shining light was that some her favourite wines in particular are Malbecs, especially from Argentina. Winner sir.Originally posted by GimmeabreakLast edited by Tar.Aldarion; 06-11-16, 19:44.

Hitler was a decorated war hero, anti-Semitic, a strong orator, had an aggressive policy and preyed on minorities.
Trump is none of those things? I couldn't imagine any other Republican candidate strongly defending LGBT rights in their convention speech?Last edited by Denny Crane; 06-11-16, 20:19.Comment

He is still very much against gay marriage, which is kinda the biggest right that the community wants. And he wants it overturned. So he may not be as obscenely anti-gay as other GOP candidates, but I'd have to quibble with referring to his stance as 'strongly defending' lgbt rights.Originally posted by Denny Crane View PostComment

Very few people knew about the extermination, which really only accelerated relatively late in the war. The Americans and the Brits knew all about the maltreatment pre-war and were relatively vocal while being unable to do much inside Germany itself for obvious reasons. Then once the war started, the demands of total warc overrode all other considerations. The Western Allies were genuinely shocked when they liberated camps like Belsen and Dachau. The Russians weren't shocked at all when they liberated death camps like Auschwitz, mainly because they had already murdered millions themselves.Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To...

Nazi policy basically went from "kick them all out" (pre-war) to "steal their assets and use them as slave labour" (early war) to "kill them all" (the Heydrich plan, post Wannsee)"We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."Comment
