    11,6 inch netbook for a future university student

    Spending anything less than $400 on a laptop is a poor decision. Either you're receiving a product with very poor build quality, or you're buying an Atom-based netbook unsuitable even for viewing YouTube. You can get a secondhand X60s for around this price on eBay. It would be a better investment.

    ThinkPad T430 ???

    Here's the Barnes and Noble discount page. Works great! http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/c...arnesnoblegold You can spec a Thinkpad T430 with the basic display and hard drive starting at about $770. My mother just bought one. Here's my thoughts: 1. The screens aren't amazing. Nowhere near...

    Need a laptop in three months with a really good keyboard. Suggestions?

    I have some CNS damage. Nothing serious - I live a perfectly normal life, can operate a bicycle, etcetera - but a medical procedure means my manual dexterity isn't quite what it used to be. Using a smartphone smaller than a Galaxy S3 is difficult, and if I'm to touch-type, a netbook is out of...

    Okay, quick: Can anyone help me troll Christian fundie Vicki Thorn?

    Yes. The nature of the scientific method is that all ideas are equally valid for criticism. By severely misquoting others' life work and then exempting herself from rational counterpoints, she's defeating the point of rational thought. I've had to deal with the less pleasant long-term...

    Okay, quick: Can anyone help me troll Christian fundie Vicki Thorn?

    I just found out that a christian fundie with dubious "science" is speaking in thirty minutes at my university. I'm hoping to show up to the lecture and start raising hell. Can anyone point me towards some valid scientific refutations of her ideas? (Note: I'll be bringing my laptop to the...

    4-Door Luxury Cars With Manual Transmission?

    1. Cadillac CTS and Chrysler 300. I keed, I keed. These aren't luxury cars. :P 2. 5-series beemer. Or if that's not big enough, 7-series. (Mind you, I think the 3 is big.) 3. Maserati Quattroporte. (Not that you'll be buying one.) 4. Miscellaneous Audis, though they're almost all FWD or AWD. Of...

    Motherboard or CPU cooked?

    I have an MSI NF750-G55 motherboard and AMD quad-core CPU I bought off off Craigslist. The setup doesn't seem to be working: While everything lights up on the board and the fans spin up, there's no power to the keyboard and I don't get any beeps or video output. I'm hoping the motherboard is...
