Sigh, I would have sold you my Acer C7 for $130+$5-10 shipping. It has Ubuntu installed on it too. Granted you probably bought the Samsung one instead.
Seems like I'm probably one of the younger ones in the thread (19) but I too have lost interest in gaming. One year into engineering school, internship in the summer, diminishing time to game without much money to buy games...I sold all my desktops, laptops, and related hardware throughout the...
Hello [H],
I'm looking for a monitor between 24-27" to hook up to my laptop, so it needs to have HDMI input. Speakers would be a plus (as well as a TV tuner). Resolution isn't overly important, but I don't want a crap monitor. I'm alright with refurbished, I'll probably end up ordering it...
I hope that was sarcasm, because those also weigh 15 lbs, put out enough heat for a 4,000 square foot home, and the battery life lasts 12 minutes. Also try to sell a Clevo to someone, they're going to ask what the hell that thing is and why you're asking so much for it and buy a known brand...
Thanks for all the replies, I ended up getting the X230 for the combination of the form factor, the fact that I'm accustomed to Windows already, and that I can freely upgrade it on my own, and it seems a large portion of people still think Windows is more suited. Sorry for unintentionally...
For $925 prior to tax ($735 without the NVS card), I could get the T430 with:
Intel Core i5-3210M Processor (3M Cache, 2.50GHz)
Genuine Windows 7 Professional (64 bit)
14.0" HD+ (1600 x 900) LED Backlit AntiGlare Display, Mobile Broadband Ready
NVIDIA N13P-NS1 Optimus Graphics with 1GB DDR3...
I'm commuting to my school :/ I'm also getting a laptop for when I travel hence the lightweight as well. I have a 2600k rig at the moment.
The IPS screen (as well as USB 3.0, HD4000, and slight processor bump) is one of the main selling factors for me, is the "Premium HD" their way of...
I'm about 1 click away from an X230, with an i5, 4gb RAM (I'll just get some at Microcenter or on Newegg), 9 cell, Premium screen, and the upgraded Wireless card for $825 prior to tax, deal? I know the big complaint is the switch to the new keyboard but I don't mind chiclet keys and would...
Well not to contradict what you're saying, but I'm studying CS as in Software Engineering, not Networking. I am open to everyone's opinion (especially those like you in the industry) and have had a lot of students tell me OSX is more suited, but personally, I'd prefer to get the X230 to save on...
I have a few friends in CS already and they're trying to steer me into OS X for the Unix environment, I keep hearing more and more people telling me to so I may just need to.
The MBP in my budget has:
13-inch: 2.5 GHz
2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
4GB 1600MHz memory...
Hello [H], I'm going to be an incoming freshman this fall studying computer science and I'm in the market for a laptop right now, which will be my main computer. It's between the (just released today) MBP 13" (lowest model, for $1200), the 11" MBA with 128 GB SSD for $1100, or a Thinkpad X230...
