Lemme see.... Core i5-3210M, 8 GB RAM, NVIDIA GT640M graphics card, 750 GB hard disk.... all at a student special price of ~$870 US! :thumbup:

(I did not expect to buy a new laptop so soon, but my 3-years old Lenovo Y450 had so many hardware problems that I was surprised that I held on to that for so long.... :sick:)

Do they have a swimming machine on the ISS?

(bringing back memories of me training how to swim on one of those in Grade 1, when my school has yet to get a swimming pool :shifty:)

Aside of the CPU, it is what I am looking for...but sadly without the student price.

Need to try it. If I get a Windows 8 notebook before the end of next week, I could participate in a Windows 8 App Programming night at the university. :lol:

Since it's you I have to wonder: did this lightning strike affect you...or did you cause it?
Well, i did try to make a 1.21 Jigowatt plasma speaker, but the cloud ran out of juice after the first note...

Why? Why bother?

Get something with a SSD instead of a "powerful mobile" graphics card. For day-to-day operations, the SSD makes MUCH MORE difference.
