    Well, the XPS 15 handles it like Windows 8.1 handles it, you have a similar selection for the scaling factor (100% etc.), and Gnome/GTK3 has a stepless slider. The question is whether the applications you use adhere to the scaling factor. Windows has a huge and diverse application ecosystem with different toolkits, which is at times its strength but leads also to little inconsistencies. Hi-dpi screens are pilot devices, only by using them you create the demand for developers to fix their applications over time. Look at the good ones and have patience, the tendency is that everything can only improve. Smaller ecosystems can easierly keep with the pace. All my main applications are of the GTK3 stack and they scale pixelperfectly (why I didn't return my Yoga 2), but as soon as I use for example third-party applications of different toolkits or Windows applications (like SketchUp), I depend on how well they do.

    Glad you liked it Walt. I think the new driver really increased the usability of the device. I think SU doesn't allow some shortcuts to be changed. Like Ctrl V can't be reassigned to Paste in Place.

    I have no experience with using the GPU for rendering. How does this work? Do I need a special VRay (RT) or is it something the 'normal' VRay version can do as well? Basically I'm planning to use the CPU (hence the i7-4960K)and not GPU.

    Mostly bizarre, yesterday I posted the above mentioned issue this is related to my desktop where I have been running XP Pro, however on my laptop with 7Ultimate it works just fine. Might be OS related issue, but I am to do an hardware upgrade on the desktop as parts wont work with Windows 7 or 8.1

    sorry for the late reply, but it looks like you already found your solution... Concerning the banding problem i think this could be related to a TN panel and only 6 bit instead of 8 bit (for the panel) - but the description on the page doesn't say anything about it... But nice to hear that works good for you now.

    I think the correct Intel chipset, SATA, PCH, Management Engine and RapidStorage driver should be installed otherwise you could loose performance. And i would just start the installer. I don't think this will be a problem and you will get an entry to remove it.

    I would have loved to have a i7 system back then however I was able to purchase the FX CPU, motherboard, and RAM for less than the cost of just the i7 CPU at the time. Also, one would assume an overclocked FX "3 core" 4.2ghz AMD CPU would perform better than a 2 core 3ghz Intel CPU (the e8400 I upgraded from) In some ways It was better, but it more ways it was worse.

    From your list of programs Sketchup is surely the more powerful, easy and free! And if you want to modelise something different than kitchen you can add this crazy one plugin Artisan by Dale Martens ( seems now 29 $ ) who transform the sketchup "Box modeling" in "Subdivision modeling" and with that you can make some sofas, curtains etc... Sufficient for a lot of things! See this guy Ginchius A Sketchup master!

    Tell your friend to look for the latest information about Wine (is not an emulator ). Take also a look at this link. It changes a lot, so old threads might be outdated. There is barely any effort to get it work (except disabling software rendering). It works beautifully with hardware acceleration, and Ruby runs better. I haven't noticed any effort for the Windows/OSX version to share cross-platform technology, that would save time and money and that could ever result in another operating system support.

    did you reset safari? if not, do that then start again. (I think) it's Settings -> Safari.. clear history, cookies, & data. if that doesn't do it, I'm not sure what else to try. I do know it's possible to not have to log in every time you come to scf.. and can imagine how annoying it is to have to do so. I'm logged out every fifth day or so but have have my info in my keychain so it's just a matter of pushing the login button since my name/password is already entered.
