Both are also quality re-sellers. There are lots of reviews/subforums for the products sold here on http://forum.notebookreview.com/ as well.
Wow, It's almost been 5 years since I last posted in this thread. My last laptop was a Dell XPS M1710.
First up is the LG P420: 14" | i5-2410M | 4GB | GT 520M 1GB
Next up is the LG P330-UE40K: 13.3" | i5-2435M | 4GB | GT 555M 1GB
I really like the construction of these LG laptops...
The way you go about it depends on the version your running. If you downloaded the game from Steam you'll automatically be on version 1.0.7.0. The best modding version is 1.0.4.0 because of the engine changes they made with the latest version. There is a way to downgrade the Steam version...

Yea it's just part of the theme to hide/show taskbar icons. There's also a similar switch within the start menu.

SP freezes occasionally still for me. The patch didn't seem to help. No stuttering while playing normally, but has froze up on me every time I play SP.
My MP has been surprisingly fluid and stable so far. When I first join a server I get about 5 seconds of rubber-banding and stuttering, but it...
I can also confirm a very nice boost in BC2 from the previous drivers on my single 470. I had turned down the settings to med all around (after having them almost maxed on my 5770) and couldn't understand why I was stuttering so bad. Running maxed again without issue. Testing was all done today...
These days I mostly use gmail chat as my main means but at home I'll still have good old AIM Lite going:
Tabbed windows, simple file transfer, small footprint, logging, offline msg'ing. All I want out of a chat program. I know I can connect to aim through gmail, I just like having a...
Depending on what realms you look at there are a few that go pretty late. I'm currently on US-Blackrock and there are a number of AUS guilds on the realm that usually don't get started till around 1-2am PST (server time). There are also some PST guilds that don't start until later on in the...
I love summer:
WoW - Just killed Heroic LK25 the other week so this time will go down by A LOT (phew)
BC2 MP - Love it, still
GTA4 PC - Late to the party but I got both of the DLC packs and I'm enjoying them a lot more on the PC
Need to go back to:
Metro 2033
RDR
Arg Steam got me again. At least it's just $5 this time around. Picked up GTA IV. Had it briefly on the ps3 but never finished it. Gonna give it a go again, and for that price why not.
Wow good read. I had NO idea there were so many types. I just found out the hard way I am having keyblocking problems on my logitech illuminated in some of my games and now I'm looking at one of these mechanical keyboards. It's a bit embarrassing to call myself a gamer and not know about these!
Sorry if this is old news, but for this upcoming mythical patch I noticed:
- Some potential sources for lag/rubberbanding have been eliminated
Is this referring to the lag I get for the first map I play. Usually when I log in for the night I'll rubber-band all over the place for like the...
I just got a evga 470 earlier this week and I had it going to the TV playing video for 2 hours and the temp was 71C. I just played 2 hours of BC2 and now its sitting at 52C. The ambient temp is pretty high today, it's 80F in my apt atm. I know there's no dust as I've only had it in for a week. I...
I just replaced my ever-crashing 5770 with a 470 and I'm liking the results as well. Performance-wise the 470 edges out the 5770 in most of the games I've tried so far but my CPU is turning into the bottleneck now. Loaded the beta drivers and BC2 has been fun to play without crashing all the...
So I see some guy just camped out in the desert and I slow up and dismount next to him. He jumps on my horse and just stands there. I wasn't sure what to do so I just lassoed the guy up and got instantly hit with a Wanted. Kinda lame there.
Much later this random whore is running out in the...
When you guys play medic what kits do you use? Do you go for the two healing bonuses (range,heal speed) or go for offensive boosts (magnum ammo,scope). I love using the MG36 with a red dot scope but I'm not sure if it's worth it to put magnum ammo on a LMG or go for the healing bonus.
You really don't even need Questhelper or Carbonite anymore. The built in quest guide is just as helpful. I wouldn't follow a guide blindly either since it will probably max out quests per zone.
Right now I'm just pushing as fast as I can to get to Northrend as soon as possible. I'm skipping...
Still getting grayscreen (recovers) /blackout (hard reset) at random times. Usually occurs a few times a day but only 1-4 times a month total. Doesn't matter if I'm just browsing the web or have WoW/BC2 running. Checked heat, power, drivers and bios' of all flavors since I got my 5770 back in...
WoW
BFBC2
just to keep the twitch on par I'll hop on q3 or cs once a week or so.
Of course I've only gotten halfway on:
Mass Effect 1 AND 2
Bioshock 2
Dragon Age
Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P
Athon II X4 620 2.6
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5770
Win7 Pro 64
Same as above 30-40sec load times from the end of the round screens till 'Join' is available.
Ha you know I never understood how there were people already halfway down the map by the time I load into the game. I didn't realize it was an ATI issue. I don't mind THAT much it's usually only like a 10sec delay compared to the others but I might try running in dx9 to see how much worse it is...
I can vouch for the above link. I've used that in the past to get into old systems at a previous job. A Linux boot disk utility would also work but that ntpasswd works just fine.
Well I just loaded these drivers up yesterday. Played WoW for about 3 hours and BC2 for about 4 hours without any hiccups so far. WoW is usually pretty good anyways but I've been getting black screen crashes with 10.2 in BC2 after about a half hour of play. Didn't get any errors last night at...
Maybe you hit a drive jumper when you put in your vid card. Not very likely but I've done worse. Check your physical connections again since that's the only major change you've done.
Slightly off-topic: I have the same card as you. Just wondering what drivers you're running and what games? I've...
lol I was playing bc2 till around 3:45am. Had the same reaction really, wasn't too tired but was surprised I was still going.
OT: I can't believe how many people still play cs
The server browser search has been pretty hit or miss with me trying to find a specific shacknews/hardforum advertised server.
I was somewhat successful adding the servers I wanted to the GameSettings.ini file under the FavoriteGames line on the bottom. The only issue is you need to get the...
I see ping times for most servers except for 10. They are all at 1 and I'm doubting it's really that low. Is there a way to add a new server to your favorites?
