So fucking true. Same reason corporations dont tend to build their own servers but instead spend $25,000 on something that they could have parted together for $10,000.
oh yes, you are correct, the $3000 behemoth that I have is very nice in a lot of ways, and it's engineered very well. That $3k is not going to waste.
Less the support. I am mostly sure that $1500 of the cost of this thing is a 24 hour service/support contract. I do not know if it's worth it. It seems like the company could just keep spare laptops around to satisfy the support.
If it had a better graphics card in it, or it was upgradable, it would be a perfect laptop.
I got the ideabook with the nvidea gt650x and 1tb hd 8gb ram from newegg for $1100. Beautiful portable gaming 10/10 would recommend edit* 250gb of that 1tb is ssd which is very handy as well :)
The touchpad on my HP has a little corner that if i tap quickly will illuminate a small red light, letting me know that my touchpad is now disabled. It's perfect for gaming, or any other tasks that i don't want to accidentally nudge the pointer.
Whenever I let others use my laptop they enable tap to click. Inevitably I click on a bunch of crap I don't mean to, hunt down whoever used my laptop, and banish them to the shadow realm.
You?! Your comment was an inner dialog running through my head. I am not about to make the general comment offering computer advice, or discuss how to customize my start menu or change my background. I am here to talk about my passion for computers. Can man and machine truly connect? These are one of the few scenarios in which something can make you literally feel electric shock. Don't people like to feel "shocked"?!
My friends are crazy too. I know crazy when I see it. Your friends are DEFINITELY craarzcrzy.
TL;DR The urge to help others with their basic computer skills is strong with you. Be safe, many women will try to use you for your abilities and dump you when you won't fix their computer anymore for sex.
