the new laptops still have old bios settings like that? damn. most new desktop mobos have bios where u can navigate around with your mice n what not
its called a uefi and theyre actually pretty junk. i hate using them. i prefer the old school bios arrangements.


any other brand besides alienware that offers 120hz screens in their laptops?

blade you can post screenshots of you beating people like louie in 1v1s as much as you want (seriosly with your sound, set up, and stopwatch you shouldnt lose a 1v1) but it doesnt change the fact that he is 20x the player you are.

I don't understand why successful companies like Lenovo, whose products are used by many businesses around the world and by general consumers, would do something as stupid as that.

why would anyone buy from Lenovo is another question.

youre an idiot, lenovos are well built and have great value imo

new setup (work in progresso)

I had a few more "business expenses/losses" I needed to write off before the fiscal year ended xD, here's hopin all this shit makes me better at the vidya. next post has more info for those interested~

home setup:
sager np8652 (980m, etc.) on a standing "desk" I built myself 8) (obviously unfinished)

plans for the desk/shelf:
going to paint the beams and desk matte black, line the right side (opposite the wall) with dry erase board to write notes etc. on,
add a locking drawer below to keep the desk contents hidden when needed,
add 1 more shelf above and below the monitor/"desk" respectively to store more books/other shit etc.
--lastly hang a projector screen from the ceiling an inch or 2 in front of the entirety of the desk/shelves to hide everything when I'm not gettin my game on


why a standing desk? by eliminating the need for a chair i've found i'm on the computer less and when I am on it, i'm a lot more efficient with my time because who likes standing for hours on end am I right xD also my condo is small as fuark and this saves hella space x)..

getting rid of my tv/soundbar/speakers/etc. in place of a cieling mounted projector with wireless hdmi is going to save even more of my precious square footage and the last time i turned on my tv was during the last superbowl.. (2/2/2014, literally 13 months ago).




mobile setup: gigabyte p34wv3 (eta april) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834233062)

buying a blade was a huge mistake.. this is cheaper, cooler, thinner, lighter, and most importantly stronger (bigger hd, more ram, rj45, etc.) in almost every way.
there's no touch screen QHD+ display but who gives a shit l0l.

if you're interested in buying my blade: http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/sys/4923521925.html
$100 off that listing price for local hpt netizens


also if you're local (DC/Baltimore) and interested in buying any of my old shit:


laptop (2014 razer blade, lightly used) (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/sys/4923521925.html),
monitor (24" acer, heavily used, 1 dead pixel) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009700),
tv (samsung eh5000, lightly used) (http://www.samsung.com/us/video/tvs/UN40EH5000FXZA),
desk (ikea boys, heavily used) (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00214157/#/00214157)
keyboard (saitek eclipse, heavily used) ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823175103 )
headphones (senn hd555s, heavily used) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106392)


hit me up within the next couple days otherwise it'll be up on craigslist baltimore/DC by the end of the week

She looks exactly like someone I used to work with during college. It doesn't make the chair look any more comfortable though.


@sood: which headphones are you using to replace the 555s?

I think it depends on your usage. If you've got a severe need for the pen such as I do for a crap ton of pdf annotating and note taking, i think it's probably the best tablet on the market. Best phone for the same usage is the Note4 which I've got. the touchbiz crap is a bit bugy sometimes but the phone on it's own performs wonderfully. I'm probably going to wait for the nexr surface / galaxy note tablet. I think I take a crap ton of notes all on my phone (and u may feel the screen's too small t odo that, but the feel of the pen's amazing)

I was deciding between either the SP3 or the Galaxy Note Pro 12. In the end I went with the SP3 because I felt I needed a full Windows operating system for some of the tools I use. There is still so much more you can do with windows than any other OS. From basic things like keyboard shortcuts that work everywhere to full versions of Office, Chrome or Firefox, to special tools, Windows is just more powerful. And this tablet makes it even better.

@blade -- the sp3 is dope, definitely on my shortlist of things to buy

@decent, i bought 598s and that usb amp you recommended x)
my 555's cracked near the earpieces and I could hear this plastic creaking sound whenever I tilted my head =_= shit was super annoying but they lasted me 6+? years so I can't complain

I sold my blade but everything else in my previous post is still for sale. i'm also selling my clevo if anyone is interested xDD I'm replacing it with a desktop:

mfw all this shit cost less than half of what I paid for my laptop: :smithfrog:
