I see those set prop'ed all the time but I cant imagine not having a separate subwoofer
obviously a separate sub will give you more bass. I have one with my 5.1 system in the other room

but for my PC I wanted something simpler and more self-contained, that still sounds good

right now its 10PM and I'm catching up on new music, cant truly blast the music but since I have a 2.1 system I still get that bass

I have some Audio Technica's but I rather get that loud sound

yeah, I had these issues when I was living that apartment life. one of the purposes of a sub is to get that low that you can feel. but that sound carries through walls and upsets neighbors

I also have headphones that I use most of the time for gaming. but sometimes I like using the 2.0 speakers so I'm not completely cut off from the sounds of the outside world

can i get a breakdown?

Dell XPS 13 is one of the best laptops you can buy in the market. It is the smallest 13-inch laptop on the planet, thanks to its virtually borderless InfinityEdge display. It comes with great specs and decent price. Looks like Dell is now planning to release an updated Dell XPS 13 with the same design. They are replacing Intel 6th Gen processors with Intel 7th Gen (Kaby Lake) processor for improved performance and battery life. With the updated processor, video graphics card is bumped to Intel HD Graphics 620 instead of the old Intel HD Graphics 520. Following processor options will be available.

  • 7th Generation Intel® CoreTM i3-7100U processor (3M Cache, up to 2.4 GHz)
  • 7th Generation Intel® CoreTM i5-7200U processor (3M Cache, up to 3.1 GHz)
  • 7th Generation Intel® CoreTM i7-7500U processor (4M Cache, up to 3.5 GHz)
They are also increasing 16GB RAM speed to 2133MHz from 1866MHz. Another change is related to wireless card, they are replacing Intel 8260 2×2 802.11ac card with Killer 1535 Wireless-AC 2×2. The Killer Wireless-AC 1535 is the second generation of Killer Wireless-AC and introduces ExtremeRange technology that offers two external 5GHz signal amplifiers plus it supports 802.11ac Wave 2 features including support for MU-MIMO and Transmit Beamforming. Hopefully, Dell will soon release this updated XPS 13 for consumers around the world.

Microsoft Store in the US now has a great deal on current generation Dell XPS 13. You can get Dell XPS 13 Core i5, 256GB, QHD+ touchscreen Laptop for $1199. In addition, you will get the following offers,

  • Free 3-month Hulu subscription with purchase, for a limited time.
  • Save 20% on an Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse when purchased with this PC
  • Free NuVision 8″ tablet?with purchase ($99 value), while supplies last.
  • Students save $350 at the Education Store

*sobbing* My 360 wireless receiver is dead!!!!! Why, on a rainy Saturday, am I being damned to the purgatory of k/m gaming? WHY, BREHS?!?!?

The worst part is that I have another receiver around here somewhere, and I have no idea where it is. So let's review: brand new board, brand new card...NO fukkING CONTROLLER!!!!
