CF-19 Mk7 replacement, CF-31 Mk5, CF-33 or..?

#1 Post by User32 »

I own a highly modded (SATA3 enabled, 16GB 1866 MHz RAM) CF-19 Mk7 in awesome condition but Ivy Bridge is starting to show it's age. So, i'm thinking of upgrading to something newer.

Problem is: what should I buy? 31 Mk5 is on Broadwell and still has the awful XGA screen, 33 is a tablet with a keyboard bolted on and I have no idea whether i'll like it or not. What's the thermal performance like on the 33? Anything is better than the awful cooling the 31 has IMHO.

I'm currently taking a really hard look at a GETAC V110. It starts with Haswell in Gen1 and goes up from there. The prices are a bit higher then CF-19's but it's also a newer design and honestly looks like it was designed in the last few years instead of 2010.

Blergh, Getac. Lack of community behind them is holding me back.

If only the CF-33 was released with Ice Lake or Comet Lake..
