SSD

maxcwy2016 — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 19:32:29 +0800

Hi Guys, I wanted to buy a SSD for my laptop and I found on these two pages that they are SSD but the hard drive type is different. That's why I wanted to ask that is it the build of the internal component same as HDD, with mechanical components? Or same as the current SSD which uses no mechanical components? Sorry that the page is in German. The following is stated in the website.

SANDISK SDSSDA-1T00-G26 SSD Plus, 1 TB, SSD, 2,5 inch
Product type : Hard Drive
https://www.mediamarkt.de/de/product/_sandi...us-2476629.html

SANDISK SanDisk Ultra® 3D, 1 TB, SSD, 2,5 inch
Product type : Solid State Drive
https://www.mediamarkt.de/de/product/_sandi...3d-2401365.html

Are they both the same or different in terms of internal build? Because the words makes me confused.

New Laptop

maxcwy2016 — Sat, 31 Aug 2019 19:51:14 +0800

Hi, Guys. I have a dilemma choosing between these 2 laptops. I am an engineering student so I am mostly doing some Auto CAD works, programming and some casual gaming like LoL. I am also studying abroad which I should get the Asus since it has 2 years global warranty but it is more pricier than the Raven SE since now it has promotions. So I am wondering which laptop should I get ? Does the Raven SE usually get some kind of early failure ? Or is the Asus TUF FX505DT good enough ?

For personal preference, I think 2kg is okay and I am not worry about the battery life since the laptop will mostly be plugged in.

Guys, I wanted to get a cheap mechanical keyboard to play casual games like League of Legends and I came across this mechanical keyboard called Rapp V500. I wonder that is there any people that used this keyboard ? Like any defection ? Is it good to use ? Because there is an offer in Germany now for 32 Euros. So I don't know it is actually worth it or not.

Nitendo Switch

maxcwy2016 — Thu, 31 May 2018 01:31:29 +0800

Is Nitendo Switch worth the money ? The Pokémon Lets Find the Pikachu had attracted me to have a nitendo switch and I have never used a nitendo product before. Will there be any facelift or upgrade version later on ? Because now I am in Europe so the price of nitendo switch here is 295 Euro which is about RM1365. So is it worth to buy it here ? Any problem faced by the owners ? Do you mind share your experience about it ?

Diplom in Germany

maxcwy2016 — Sat, 12 May 2018 23:21:22 +0800

Now I am studying German language in Germany but I decided to enrol into TU Dresden in the future, which only have courses in Diplom. In most of the European Countries, Diplom is considered Bachelor and Master Degrees together so at the end of the studies, the person will graduate with a Diplom certificate which is Master in most of the European countries. So what will Malaysia see this certificate if I decided to come back to Malaysia and work. Will it be seen in Bachelor , Master or Diploma ?
