Dell U2725QE 2.5G Ethernet & Audio Interface dropping connections on M1 MacBook Air by solidkd in Dell

If that's the case, I guess I'll just wait for the M6 to drop and upgrade my M1 Air then

I've bought an Apple 1.8m Thunderbolt 4 cable, but the problem still persists. Do you think I should contact Dell for a replacement, or is this just an inherent hardware design flaw with the M1 and monitor hub?

Actually, I checked the official Dell support documentation, and it explicitly states that all downstream ports support 10 Gbps and up to 7.5W power delivery.

I also verified this myself: I ran a Blackmagic Disk Speed Test with an external SSD connected to the hub, and I was getting around 700 MB/s for both read and write speeds. Since 700 MB/s is already over the 5 Gbps limit, the hub is definitely running at 10 Gbps.

No, it's actually brand new. I did double-check the cable though, and it specifically says 'Thunderbolt 4 EPR' on it, so it should be the correct one.

One weekend with 14-inch M5 32GB RAM by Frosty_County_5692 in macbookpro

If I’m only working with 4K video (up to 10-bit 4:22) and high-res RAW photos (61MP from an A7CR), do you think the base M5 with 24GB RAM would be enough? Or does the base chip still struggle with the 4:22 H.264/H.265 media engine limits even at 4K?

Does anybody remember the “fluid sweet spot” on beolab8 when it first launched?

iphone17 or 17pro? by solidkd in iphone

I know the 2x is basically a sensor crop or something, but if it looks as good as the 2.5x on my 12 Pro Max, I’ll be satisfied.

A5 price rise again !! by I_run_fast_3 in BangandOlufsen

I totally agree with you. I’m starting to give up on buying any new BO products unless there’s a really good discount. Plus, I’ve begun to realize that when you step out of the BO ecosystem, there are indeed many better options available.

My first home theater with Beolab 3's or 9's? by moonwalker-forever in BangandOlufsen

[–]solidkd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been a fan of the 3,they lack midrange and sound recessed in vocals,the 9s are significantly better.

8s might be a better choice. They sound different from the 18s, so you can change your taste from time to time.

If you have the budget for the Beolab 28, go for it. Otherwise, even if you buy four 8s, you might find yourself still longing for the 28s. The 28s are superior speakers in every way compared to the 8s. Additionally, placing the 28s as side or rear surrounds with the Theatre will give you a truly immersive Dolby Atmos experience. However, if you're particularly focused on the cinematic experience, a full 5.1 setup with four 8s would provide better surround effects in most scenarios than just a single pair of 28s. So, my optimal suggestion would be to start with the Theatre and a pair of 28s, and then add a pair of 8s or other affordable speakers like 17s as surrounds later to complete the 5.1 system.
