Any of you ever heard of Ultima?
ULTIMA 13.3" Touch Screen 2-in-1 Convertible laptop PC with Intel Atom Cherry Trail Z830D Quad-Core processor, 2GB Memory,32GB SSD and Windows 10 - Walmart.com
Says it was $399 but now $189.
I want to get my nieces a cheap laptop since they are starting college this year.
What do you guys think? I have never heard of this brand? Who makes it?

yeab, but I think there were rumors it might be coming to consumer cards later this year
So I can pick up a Steam controller fairly cheap but I don't think it's gonna be any better than the DualShock 3 setup I have going on. 
Any input from owners?

I love mine. it's incredibly customizableSo I can pick up a Steam controller fairly cheap but I don't think it's gonna be any better than the DualShock 3 setup I have going on.

it definitely has a learning curve though. it takes time, and don't expect to be immediately comfortable with it. try to start out with some mellow games (aka not CS:GO) to just get used to how it works

yeah, it irks me how much people online love to preach the "value" of buying unlocked chips and overstate the savings from going diy vs buying a prebuilt.
i'd understand if we were still in the late 90s/early 2000s when p much all gaming oriented prebuilts were grossly overpriced pieces of shyt and overclocking your pentium III meant the difference between whether or not a game would run... but we aren't.
those are still viable options of course, just not as relevant as they might of been 15 years ago
the "value" of buying unlocked chips is that you can squeeze more performance out. that is something very real if you play cpu-bound games like Arma
pre-builts are typically overpriced, and many will cut corners wherever they can with cheap parts. the better pre-builts don't do that, but they tend to be very expensive
my thing is that at some point you're probably gonna have to get in that box, and fix/replace something. and having the basic knowledge of what everything is, and how it works, is gonna help with that. but if you already have that knowledge, and you got the money, more power to ya
personally I enjoy putting PC's together cause I like to tinker with shyt

walls are brick under plaster and I dont have a masonry drill bit, so I made a hole but its like a ditch and the screw is loose so it wont hold the weight
so far its a fail
Well, if anybody wants 2 Titan Xs (with the bridge included), PM me and make and offer.
$200 for one.
Nah, I'd rather go through eBay. I think I could get $350 for each.
