Woooo, ordered new laptop!
-
What..no Alienware? In all seriousness, there is nothing as life affirming as a new hardware purchase. I don't have a need for a new computer so I talked myself into a new Kinesis spilt keyboard. I keep hoping I'll find a reason to update my laptop in the next 6 months or so - you know it's time for a replacement when the new smell goes away.

Well, I don't want to project the wrong image when I visit my customers. Plus the HP packs enough power for me. I hope this one will last longer than 6 months (usally I buy a new one just about every year).

I am jealous. However, my kids get all my money and they are worth every penny. Congrats.:thumbsup:

Depends on the muzzle velocity and effective range.
.45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

Does it have triple channel memory? I know desktops have had that for a while now; so you'll see 3, 6, 12, etc.

The Google query (( laptop cooking reuters )) finds an article with cautionary numbers - something like a delta-T of 1 degree Celsius, which is typically reached in less than 30 minutes, and yer in trouble. Spreading-the-legs is the workaround - "pads" turn out not to help. The Reuters story is dated 5 November, just a day after your post, Synchronicity ?
