turn it off and on again

Razor?! Wow that's quite a good quality there.

I think she means razor-thin, not the Razor brand. ;)

But ultrabooks are thing light dun. My friend got this Lenovo Thinkpad Ultrabook and its a s light as pizza.

I'm more of a fan of standard-weight gaming laptops. Gaming laptops don't have to be bulky, you know? 2.6 kg and less of power! :D

 

[Dter ic]

Recently got a new laptop that's mjuch lighter than I've owned before. It's 1.6kg so I can now carry it with one hand. Not sure if I'd classify it as an ultrabook though.

Wow, I just noticed that Google Chrome now has smooth scrolling.

 

[Tsutarja]

Is it a regular feature now? Last I remember, you had to enable it in chrome://flags.

I didn't even know it had to be enabled! I guess the latest update just enabled it by default.

 

[Tsutarja]

II decided to muck around with the flags portion of Chrome anyway, and I went full Material theme and it looks great on the desktop.

Whoa, sleek!

Now it looks less like I'm running a Windows Vista program in Windows 8 with that mode turned on :P

Using Bluetooth functionality in Windows XP is so complex. :|

You just try bluetooth on linux. Hours of headaches guaranteed (unless you know a good gui)

That's funny as linux likes my laptop's bluetooth adapter more than windows 10. Every distro I've tried (aside from very light ones) support it out of the box. I've tried everything with windows 10 and it wouldn't even recognize the bluetooth adapter.

 

[Tsutarja]

I installed Xubuntu to my netbook and for some reason I can't transfer files to my laptop via Bluetooth, but I can send files from my laptop to my netbook while logged into the Xubuntu install. Weird.

So , my dad and I went to check out some laptop, I decided to get a MSI laptop, GE62 6QL APACHE. It's features latest 6th gen Intel Processor and GTX 950M graphic card. It sells about 3699 and 179 ringgit for expanding another 8 GB RAM.

Not bad! HDD or SSD or SSD+HDD model? Either way there should be space for adding the missing thing if there's something missing. :)

 

[killer-curry]

HDD model only, with added 12 GB RAM , bad ass :P

If you mean 8+4, I think you probably should either make it 8+8 or just skip the added RAM and buy the 8GB stick later.

 

[Tsutarja]

Wow, that's a pretty badass build there. Too bad it'd probably cost more than a year's worth of tuition to my college. :P

I think I've managed to render the Channel A RAM slots in my motherboard unusable. No thanks to a thermal compound streaking all about for some reason while trying to install the Intel stock cooler, since I took the usual one out for cleaning.

Oops! Two of the RAM slots are now unusable, and now I have to get by with single-channel memory.

Looks like I'd have to get it serviced soon... (and maybe get a "burner" H81/B85/H97 motherboard)

 

[killer-curry]

So I got the new MSI laptop, Leapoard Pro 950m ,even thought I thought I was choosing Apache version (lel).

This build still awesome and I really like the design.

Will give more info about this dragon laptop later :)

Is it the MSI Leopard Pro GP72 (NVIDIA GTX 950M, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, i7-5700HQ @ 2.7GHz)? That's the same model I have haha! I was considering reviewing it here, actually. I've been very impressed by its performance.

Well, mostly the same! But change the Broadwell CPU into the i5-6300HQ - yep, mobile quad-core i5s are now finally a thing with Skylake. No more overspending for an i7.

It's originally 4 GB, but they threw in an additional 8 GB for free.

In the meantime, we did a bit of 3DMark fun just now, and turns out the GTX 760M and i7-4700HQ in my laptopwere caught pants down, comparatively speaking, to the GTX 950M and i5-6300HQ. My CPU is just a wee bit faster than the i5, but my GPU is smoked by the 950M. Dat Maxwell, beating Kepler parts everywhere, and now Haswell looks old in the mobile space.

I'm really considering getting a desktop for my office space now, just so that I don't have to constantly dock and undock my laptop while at home.

I've been considering a Mac Mini (probably the $699 model), but I dunno how those could handle Steam games at all.
