Thanks for suggestions
Going to go sulk for a bit lol When you come back if you miss the FB message I found one last one at least capable of playing LoL and cheaper than the others.
This is okay for your price range but certainly not future proof.

That's pretty similar to one of the ones I found on Microcenter's website. It was a bit higher priced but it has a slightly better processor and video card.

The only other option I see to make use of his current laptop is if it has VGA or HDMI output built into the side... Then he'd just have to hope someone would have a monitor/tv that he could hook it into.
It'd be a major inconvenience, but it'd keep his laptop going a bit longer.

Unrelated... I should look into finding someone who would be willing to buy this when it arrives, since it was free with my video card purchase.

Another monday morning. Freaking pollen all over the place. I don't have any allergies but my sinuses still dont like this over abundance of dust and pollen. That and my car windshield is almost impossible to see through thanks to the coating it recieved of the stuff. That is the only reason why spring sucks.
other than that bring on the warm weather!

I had a thin red line down my screen. I read up on it and found out it was a disconnected pixel or some ***. To get ird of it, I had to sort of massage the screen near the bezel to knock it back in place. Well, I pressed too hard lol
By Jetackuu 2013-03-10 17:51:47
yeah I saw it after realizing I hadn't loaded the screen in some time...
depends how old/crappy the current laptop is, and how good you are with ribbon cables and a tiny screwdriver.
(if you can take apart a PS2 and put it back together and have it work, you can do a laptop).
but if it's a few years old: most likely not worth it, and any of those options would probably do (minus the dell and toy obviously) I'd probably go with the Asus though, as I have yet to play with Lenovo and Acer has been known to make garbage, despite their ravenous fan base with their tablets...
May be worth looking into dual booting with a linux variant if you like to watch a lot of porn though, Ubuntu is supposed to be very user friendly.

I have the TI Inspire CAS...
and dear Kalila: you do realize that you cannot directly compare different cpu architectures, right?
there's a variety of application processors and they aren't even the only type of processors...

lol I finally upgraded my PC after like 7 years of the same old core 2 duo CPU ... I thought "nahhh won't see much difference"
Yep ... much difference noticed :p went from ... uh ... 4GB? to 16GB alone was well noticed just in photoshop :3

kind of my point: you cannot compare with what you posted, are they are entirely different animals.
in comparison: your cpu benchmarks at 810...
my laptop (and desktop) both bench about 3000, and my new build does 7145...
(granted my laptop was $1500 in 2010, and the new build is pretty boss).

I know I'll see an improvement, but I never really played anything on PC and I want to change that so I'm going to do it.

lol photoshop is very cpu and ram dependent...
for what most people do however (facebook, solitaire, email) they most likely won't know a difference...

oh yeah haha... I'm always in photoshop so it was such a hassle trying to multitask on things on my old system, now it's not that big of a deal anymore really~
The only thing I will be upgrading in the future is getting a SSD and MAYBE a upgraded GPU.

going to assume you found something but I just use this:
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/
not sure how accurate it is, but they have quite the list.

Edit: Unrelated... Fixed the line for my PC speakers by cutting it off and re-wiring it to a new jack. Full audio out of both speakers again! Huzzah!

Only *** up if there was rice involved
By Jetackuu 2013-03-10 18:13:27
so I've put off doing my overdue assignment until the last day I'll get another letter grade drop...
probably not my best idea but now I have less than 5 hours to do a project.
I better get crackin'
oh and Kalila: you call me Jeta again, and I'll get out the fat Rukia pics.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
