Computer Acquisition Syndrom
My trusty old Asus g73 has finally given up the ghost, it was a VERY capable laptop but I hated every minute of its 10+ year reign. Now I'm free, looking for what could be described as a DIY'ers choice award candidate:
Nothing black
prefer rugged, not essential
large black letters on non-wearing light keycaps
easy to change keyboard
NO backlit nothing
NO slim-slim, special-tools, eyecandy
dual ssd bays for easy removal
4 usb, 1 card, 1 hdmi, 1 eSata, etc. ports
16+ GB non-soldered RAM
i7 or better/equivalent AMD or Apple cpu
no nvidia drivers
reliable easy to change mini audio jacks
12"-13" screen 1920x1080 or 1920x1200
12+ hour battery
Nothing microsoft
I'll think of a few others..
The attack has been managed; why not just forget
about laptops altogether? The old g73 is gone into
the recycling bin and I'm still alive. But my cell
phone died too so I tought I might buy be a smart
phone but I managed that attack as well. I haven't
had a cell phone for weeks and I'm still alive. So
maybe I'll just buy me a mig welder with which I
can do real things in the real world.
