Dell’s OptiPlex 7070 Ultra is a minimalist’s modular all-in-one PC dream

04/09/2019 by Juan Carbutt Leave a Comment

Just slide it in, and you’re good to go!

Rising from the ashes of all the all-in-ones discarded due to one dated or dying component is the Dell OptiPlex 7070 Ultra, a mini PC that’s designed to transform a monitor into a modular all-in-one. Dell’s OptiPlex mini PCs are already small and designed to be mounted out of sight. However, this new model takes that to another level by making it thin, narrow and slender enough (at 3.78 x 10.09 x 0.78 inches) to be slid into a monitor stand, essentially turning your monitor into an all-in-one desktop.

The covert nature of the OptiPlex 7070 Ultra makes it appealing for folks who crave a clean, more minimalist workspace.

When Technology Makes Life Harder

20/08/2019 by Gaitor Leave a Comment

The latest Windows 10 update from Microsoft hasn’t gone smoothly for many users due to a conflict with an outdated driver for Intel’s Rapid Storage Technology. This is somewhat ironic in that RST was designed to improve the performance of storage hardware. Certain versions have slowed the install process, and in some cases the program actually has made installation of the Version 1903 Windows 10 update impossible.

Some users have been able to download a later version of RST and get the update to work, but for many others even that won’t solve the problem. For now the best course of action may be simply to wait and hope the two companies can resolve the conflict.

Users abandon Windows 7 as 2020 time bomb nears

03/08/2019 by Gaitor Leave a Comment

Windows 7 users are beginning to abandon their ageing software and finally upgrade their devices to Windows 10 in greater numbers.
According to data from NetMarketShare, the number of users still running Windows 7 worldwide has decreased dramatically over the last month.
The trend over the past year has been the slow decline of Windows 7’s market share in favour of Windows 10, but this has accelerated recently.
One major factor which could have contributed to the sharp decline of Windows 7 user numbers is the looming end-of-life deadline set out by Microsoft.
The company has stated on numerous occasions that it will officially end support for Windows 7 on 14 January 2020.
Despite this quickly-approaching deadline, however, almost a third of all PC users in the world are still using the older operating system.
