I need to figure out what laptop I want to save up for.
I want a 1080p screen, a good webcam, good trackpad, decent graphics and cpu, etc. And I also want like 7+ hours of battery life. I think I'm basically fucked with all those though.

Oh, fuck you.

One and a half inches is a estimate according to me and it weighs in about 7.8 when I last checked.

Pick one or the other.
[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;36162216]'For the most part'
There are always exceptions, but most of the time you are probably going to be using it at the same desk, might as well get a good gaming stationary and a decent laptop, encoding is different though.[/QUOTE]
Well, get tired from one place, I can just move my mouse, AC adapter, and Laptop (No shit) all without shutting down.

Considering those specs, you're gonna have to save up quite a bit for those things.
Some shitty-ass laptop my bro got for the trip to Poland was about $300
Just so ya know.
If battery life is important, drop another wad of cash on a rechargable battery pack of a few amp hours capacity that can deliver the voltage and power your laptop is rated for.
If you get a unit big enough you should essentially double your battery life and all you have to do is carry around a book-sized battery pack and remember to charge it.
Or get a replacement battery (prolly wanna go through third party sources to avoid paying a fuckload) and keep both charged, granted having to power down for a battery swap would be a pain in the ass but you'd get twice the battery life.
and if you guys have the unfitting desire. You can join the minecraft server (IP 64.184.10.144:23, AKA, the telnet port), you will need computercraft.

This isn't GiP, sorry.
Somehow my setup doesn't like the port 25565. So Port 23, your up. This is the Telnet port.

Sorta giving him correct information at this post, got a problem?
i managed to fix my shitty turtle beaches with like $50 of hot glue
When I get new headphones these are going in my disappointment box with Vista.
Just goes to show that TurtleBeach is overrated.
Might be good sound quality, but their headphone parts are absolute shit.

I'd normally ask for one but
A: shipping would cost a ton
B: i'm scared of monitors
C: I wouldn't be able to power it as the UK is on 240 volts and the US is 115.
It just came to me, 8GB of ram can host 150 people on a minecraft server. I have 16GB of ram so I can host 300 people.
My laptop can host a couple of servers without problems.
Cool.

[b]YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME[/b]
MY LAPTOP IS ALREADY FUCKING DEAD
Three and a half hours. Three and a half FUCKING hours, between FedEx dropping it off and the thing dying. That has got to be some sort of record.
I'm 99% certain it's completely dead, but on the slim chance that I'm just a moron, here's the symptoms:
1) While running off battery power (to see how long it lasts), shit just cut off. With ~80% battery.
2) Trying to restart causes the status lights to flash on, and the keyboard backlight to flash, and sometimes a bit of static from the speakers, but then everything just cuts off. Screen never turns on, fans and hard drive never spin up.
3) Nothing I've tried has fixed it:
> Removing battery, running off just AC
> Charging battery back to full (as shown by battery indicator light)
> Removing charger, running off just battery
> Letting unit sit, no power, for 10 min to let any residual charge dissipate
> Swapping hard drive with known-good drive (kind of a long shot, but worth a try)
It seems like a short, but there's no signs of any loose screws or wires. And there is absolutely no fucking way I've damaged it myself - I hadn't even had time to pop open the cover before it fried.
Jesus Christ, I thought this was a stupid argument.
But really, fucking no. With that logic, I can run Crysis on max settings if I put 4GBs of RAM into a machine with a Pentium 1 and a ATi rage.
(This in reply to Jarrod, damn people breaking my merge.)
