My dad picked up this small 12" HP computer that's pretty nice. Won't really run games, and I don't know about the battery life, but it seemed pretty spiffy.
Alternatively, there's some upcoming notebook that automatically switches between onboard graphics chips and separate video cards on the fly that sound pretty badass. *shrug*
Well there are several notebooks that can do that already and it really is great to be able to switch between the two since the battery life savings is significant.
No, like the computer itself switches it. You don't flip a switch and restart the computer, it does it actively on the fly. I was under the impression that it's a new system.
Well maybe these machines handle it differently but there are several (the ThinkPad T400 and T500 among others) that have been doing this for awhile now. The T400 and T500 came out in like 2008.
Because it's usually not too hard to find a public server with more sucky people. Also becoming familiar with the classes and maps takes a lot of time.

If you don't mind the unnecessary premium the MacBook Pro is just fine. I would certainly recommend it over several other machines with price not being taken into account. I would personally go with a Thinkpad though 'cuz I like ugly tanks with a billion hours of battery life.
the laptop automatically switches, "second-by-second" between the NVIDIA card and the integrated Intel one, instead of the "standard" switchable graphics we've seen on laptops like the MacBook Pro 15 or ASUS UL80Vt which require users to switch manually
And it's also on the Sony Z that was recently announced, apparently.

Thank you [chat] for being helpful and advisory. H/A, by contrast, was 100% useless.
That's impressive 'cuz I was just fucking around. I am biased in favor of business notebooks because they provide me with what I want most, durability and longevity. They're not pretty and they're not as powerful but they can still haul ass.
Edit: Oh, Cokebottle, it switches automatically without user input? Well okay that seems fine though I wonder if it's smart enough to switch without performance degradation.

Yeah, supposedly this ASUS reports 12 hours of battery life with the auto switching enabled.

Anyone here listen to the Pogues? I recently learned of them from one of my British friends, specifically the greatest Christmas song ever - Fairytale of New York!

Were you playing on PA servers?

Just get drunk and they'll look much better.

What, my joke about getting drunk?
It's a play on what you said, "doing worse". You're doing people who are worse, but getting drunk will make them seem better, more attractive.
it isn't our fault you know

For The Ladies is a better awful song.
I've perfected singing it to girls with a straight face. It's fantastic.

Is Irish
THE MOMENT
YOU OWN IT
YOU BETTER NEVER LET IT GO
YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT
Well pandora you found the one eminem song i actually like...
NNID: Hakkekage
Means you shouldn't have used it against an Electric-type.
*high five*
Would you rank the Pogues as better or worse than Flogging Molly? Just curious.
the only shit I consistently thumbs up is bands I already like
I have found all the good music
My jokes are not fucking awful. They are fucking good. They have good taste in what they fuck.
What is this. What are you doing.
Oh so they can't even fuck awful? They are so low and pathetic they can't get that much? You are so mean-spirited.
I think it's time you took another vacation from the forum.
Step one: confuse your target
Step two: Make advance
Step three: ????
Step four: SEX!
NNID: Hakkekage
Neither are really my thing..... It's just that the Pogues are pretty inescapable here, especially at Christmas :P
Pretty much all Irish music is awful to me.
Before I do that I have to erode what's left of my reputation.
Heresy!
*steps forward*
