That happened to me once, and I believe the problem was that I had a space after the number.
edit: sorry replied to the wrong quote.

 

I can't accept RNR because of:

What does this mean?

 

With hope, automated work will make resources a million times easier to extract and use, and we'll finally start having some abundance, which will be bad for economy, but good for standard of living. So, I think it will either get to a certain point where corporations are losing money due to abundance, and start doing their lobbying, corrupt thang', or eventually we can finally sit on our asses and go full Wall-e. The point of technology is to make things more efficient and to lessen our load, so you would think that a world without work would be inevitable(Moore's law seems to be holding up), but that doesn't comply with our capitalist crap, so I'm sure it will either never get to the point where jobs are completely replaced with robots, or American society will seriously need to start adopting different political views. Just my non professional, uneducated two cents.

 

Something like this: http://marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm

 

And the cherry on top is #20, which completely contradicted the answer in #3 by giving the exact opposite answer/methodology.

 

Cool. We needed a machine to tell us what to do. Cause we dont respond to our own kind. Kinda ironic and sad.

 

Ugh, I'm unimpressed with the specs of laptops in the ~$550 range. Those aren't even ~$550 laptops, they're ~$700 laptops on sale.

I don't know what I was hoping for. I guess I'm unfamiliar with the kinds of laptops on the market today. (Can't I just get a plain but powerful W7 [okay, I'll learn W8 if I have to] laptop, without the touch-screen or other fancy 'transformer' crap ?)

Maybe I should just get another desktop instead. Portability was going to be a luxury.

I'd like to at least run games on it; ultra-ultra high quality graphics aren't necessary. Most importantly, however, I need it to be able to handle Photoshop. (And, let's face it, it's gotta handle lots of browser tabs and extensions for hard core turking) Integrated graphics aren't going to cut it.

 

Laptops in general are poor gaming platforms. The graphics cards are under powered and not up-gradable. Also, they tend to overheat making game play almost impossible.

pops up now and again

 

Getting a laptop with a decent graphic card is wise cuz you can't upgrade it in the future. I worked with Dell so I know they sell refurbished laptops on their site. You get it for a reduced price and full 1 year warranty. Have you considered that?

 

You must have did them before and had low accuracy.

7 minutes, because I ranted a bit.

This is not the same study she did a couple days ago. You may take both.

 

I've had experience with gaming on laptops before; I know it'd be possible to achieve the performance I wouldn't mind playing games on. My standards are pretty low in that area though, except the whole Photoshop thing keeps me from being able to set the bar that low.

It's been a couple years since then, though, and I'd had higher hopes for where the technology went. Nope, they want touch screens and detachable keyboards :'(

 

You're not going to get much in terms of graphics at the $550 level. Spend $7-800, get something with midrange graphics; or get a used laptop with better graphics.

Anyway, it might help to look at laptop graphics benchmarks, figure out the sort of firepower you need. CPU-side, an i5 dual-core is wicked fast for most things (an i7 quad with turbo up to 3ghz is faster than any 1st-gen desktop i7 at stock). http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-740M.89900.0.html Nvidia 740M is about the slowest I'd get for gaming.

 

or it's a speed qual? i have no idea what any of those things mean.
