| joey | FunnyLookinHat: ok I'm up on the new platform. Smaller than I expected. Nice and fast too | 17:25 |
|---|---|---|
| FunnyLookinHat | joey, how's it sound? | 17:35 |
| joey | FunnyLookinHat: it's louder than my laptop but not as loud as my old desktop. 36db and I already put it on the quiet fan setting | 18:15 |
| FunnyLookinHat | yeah - mid 30s was about what I read w/ my phone app | 18:15 |
| joey | I don't recall exactly but I think my laptop was 26ish | 18:16 |
| joey | and my old desktop was, what, 88? | 18:16 |
| joey | It's a wonderful machine. My only complaint was that a smoker worked on it. It came out smelling like cigarettes | 18:16 |
| joey | or something used in the building of it smells like that | 18:17 |
| joey | flux or glue getting warm | 18:17 |
| joey | but I'm very happy with it | 18:17 |
| joey | it was a great recommendation, thanks for that | 18:17 |
| joey | the ssd upgrade was a good idea too | 18:22 |
| FunnyLookinHat | joey, wait - the new machine smells like cigs ? | 18:23 |
| joey | FunnyLookinHat: yep. | 18:25 |
| FunnyLookinHat | And yeah - we recommend the SSD before any other upgrade generally... huge improvement in performance :) | 18:25 |
| joey | I've got the door open and the smell is just about gone | 18:25 |
| FunnyLookinHat | joey, I've already passed it along - that's not ok with us | 18:25 |
| joey | it came very nicely packaged and presented... better than my last box I got from 76 | 18:26 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Yeah we've been trying to work on that end of things - more end to end branding, etc. | 18:26 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Consistent experiences are generally better, etc. | 18:26 |
| joey | the setup was nicer. It didn't get rid of the oem setup account, I had to do that by hand, but even that was better than the last time I did it | 18:27 |
| joey | I'd definitely recommend it so far to others | 18:27 |
| FunnyLookinHat | wait - really? | 18:27 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Ubiquity!!!! | 18:27 |
| joey | yeah it kept booting into the oem account | 18:27 |
| joey | I had to logout and into my own and then purge the oem account | 18:27 |
| FunnyLookinHat | I'm letting our imaging engr know | 18:27 |
| joey | and yes for the record I restarted twice just to ensure there wasn't some fancy "on your next reboot we'll remove it" script | 18:28 |
| FunnyLookinHat | heheh | 18:28 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Jason D. is telling me it's something we've seen randomly but haven't been able to pin down | 18:29 |
| FunnyLookinHat | I'd likely blame Ubiquity - but that's just a guess | 18:29 |
| FunnyLookinHat | joey, Glad you're liking it though | 18:29 |
| joey | I saw it remove ubiquity in the dialogs during firstboot | 18:29 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Yeah but Ubiquity should have removed the oem account I believe | 18:31 |
| FunnyLookinHat | w/ oem-mode | 18:31 |
| FunnyLookinHat | joey, well - glad you like the machine in spite of those issues... I've passed them both along | 18:33 |
| joey | FunnyLookinHat: yeah it's all good. Aside from the sound level, my favourite features are the bountiful USB ports in various locations and the fact that the power light is also a drive activity light | 18:35 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Yeah the chassis is slick :D | 18:36 |
| joey | I think more people might buy this guy if the marketing images showed the actual size | 18:37 |
| joey | it's at least 40% smaller than I was expecting | 18:37 |
| joey | even if the headline said "all this power in something under 12 inches" | 18:38 |
| FunnyLookinHat | joey, mind running a quick command ? | 18:45 |
| FunnyLookinHat | cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name" | 18:45 |
| joey | Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz | 18:46 |
| FunnyLookinHat | joey, free upgrade :) | 18:46 |
| joey | ? | 18:47 |
| joey | I believe that's the one I ordered | 18:47 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Your order was for a 4770 | 18:47 |
| FunnyLookinHat | 3.4 Ghz | 18:47 |
| joey | oh which is no longer offered! | 18:47 |
| FunnyLookinHat | So just a whee bit faster | 18:47 |
| joey | nice! | 18:47 |
| joey | thanks | 18:47 |
