Any better than the 830 model? Is there any advantage to buying thee 840 over the 830?

I found a video description on line, and it looks to me that the difference is that the 830 has a manual timer that you set for the time length you want, while the 840 doesn't have that, it just beeps when the waffle is done. I have the 840 and its a great little waffle iron.

The performance difference is estimated around a 10% performance difference. The Pro uses older NAND technology and life tests look good on both despite the 5-year warranty on the PRO versus 3-years on the EVO. If you want bragging rights, you want the PRO. The EVO is a step up over the 840, but not as fast as the PRO. In actual use, you will most likely never notice the difference between them. The difference between any of these over an HDD is at least 5x faster, so the extra 10% is comparatively minor. Our 840 boot-ups take less than 25 seconds instead of minutes for HDD systems with Windows7 64-bit for example. The performance difference is estimated around a 10% performance difference.

Thanks for your question. The 840 is a significantly better sounding headphone with richer tone. They are wonderful sounding phones

like many said go with AB800 or if you can afford it go with Einstein and you may not need to upgrade, ever. google einstein and you will see why. it is also made by Paul buff

Honestly if you're bouncing between the 120 Samsung and the crucial 240 I would definitely go for the 240 crucial because they're all spectacular. The Samsung only has very minor bonuses comparatively speaking. Although from what I've tested Samsung has the best software combo'd with it but that shouldn't be a game changer.

I use the E8600 in this computer and it is the best 775 processor i ever used after trying a few other 775 family CPU's. I think the Q9550 is also very good but it cost a lot more money. I never tried it. The E8600 runs cool and the price is very low compared to what it used to cost. I bought my E8600 from Amazon for $150.

There is a huge difference in performance from the fx4100. Passmark rates the AMD FX-4100 Quad-Core scores a 4,042, whereas the 8350 garners over double that score at 9,026. The 4100 is not in the same ballpark as the 8350 or even the 8150. The cache difference is huge as wel.

damn, i'd like to know this too. specifically, which one runs quieter and cooler? and furthermore, which one is more reliable?

I had the same question. i got a good price for the 830 and its slightly upgraded. I am very happy with it.

There is no performance advantage either way. But you should pick one and stick with it. I use 568B because, for some reason, it's easier for me to remember. Go figure...

I'm afraid I can not help, other than to say according to Samsung, the 840 Pro is the same size as the 840 EVO (which I installed in my Lenovo SL510 with ease). Note though - the Samsung software will not move/migrate a drive that is the Operating System drive - you will have to use a pub domain app (there are several).

For the solid state drive I use Samsung 840 EVO 2.5 inch 250 GB.Works wonderful!

The pro uses a different type of NAND. The Pro uses MLC which is older but faster. The regular 840 and the Evo use TLC which is newer and cheaper to produce. Also, the Pro's MLC NAND is supposed to last much longer. The 2nd article estimates that MLC's expected lifespan is 60 years vs 19 years for TLC.

The only difference I can see is that the 830 has a built-in memory card reader. Pull the card out of your digital camera and print without a computer.But, maybe I missed something...

There is not enough difference to justify the price increase. Adding an SSD to this laptop will make a huge difference in speed, and it is not slow as is. This one for example Samsung 840 Series 2.5 inch 120GB SATA III internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TD120BW

The 5400rpm Best Buy's (NP700Z5B-W01UB) model HDD was a deal breaker for me. Besides Amazon's tax savings offset the price difference, so you get all 4 additional features (7200 HDD, 8G SSD, backlit keyboard, better video) for about $100 considering shipping and the current $150-$200 price difference. However the mention of the 5400rpm drive in S03 (and I'm sure S04) models made me think again. It's gotta be some difference with S01/S02 and the drive seems to be it. Another thing that one reviewer (of the S04) confirmed is that the 8G SSD is indeed proprietary tech (built into and inseparable from the HDD) and thus unavailable as a separate drive letter. I use Linux as my primary OS, so I don't care about Windows startup or IE speed. I don't think Linux would pick up the SSD at all. Which makes me go back to the stripped down Best Buy model. I'd simply swap its slow HDD with a full-size (256G+) SSD which can be had for $300 nowadays. I can live w/o the backlit keyboard and as far as the less capable video card, it's a business notebook, not a water-cooled gaming rig anyway.
