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.

Yeah that was a bare minimum machine, figured I'd link it if he wanted to be extra frugal.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
