#26 Laptop for College? in Hardware
chiveEpicBroccoli...
I heard that the Y series from Lenovo, although very cost effective, has a short battery life (as in 3 hours or less). Do you have any experiences where you wished your battery life was longer?

For me, the battery is perfect for going to 1-2 classes that are one hour each. I usually set my laptop to power saving mode and it's good enough for those two classes. Battery life's never been a huge problem for me since plugs are plentiful at my uni both in and out of the class room.

In full disclosure though, I did have an issue with my power button where sometimes it doesn't work but I resolved it by taking apart my laptop and tightening a loose cable.

For me, I just picked the IdeaPad because it was on sale on SlickDeals, dunno if price is a huge issue for you but I suggest buying the SSD separately since you can get some great deals on them

#4 Laptop for College? in Hardware

I bought a Lenovo Ideapad Y580 (15.6, nVidia 660M GTX, 2.4Ghz i7, back lit keyboard) last year when my old laptop died and I got it for sale for $900 and bought a 256GB SSD for like $200 to stick in it, it's still running TF2 fine, of course I mostly use it for occasional PUG, not sure if it would be good enough for fulltime competitive gaming.

IMO, it's pretty nice balance between being a gaming laptop and a normal laptop, it's not overly heavy at least not for me since I've been carrying it to classes almost every day for the past year. The biggest thing is that it's not flashy like my old Sager laptop.

You could definitely get a newer model for $1600, or if time isn't an issue you could probably look for a sale between now and when college starts.

#58 2/7 tf2 update in TF2 General Discussion
JDMYoshiokaDeepHoly shit, you can choose to play on random crits disabled servers now through quickplay.
Too bad there is like no no-crit servers out there.

Well hopefully now that they can get players from QuickPlay, they'll become more popular to host.

#6 Issue with the update in Q/A Help

Uh sounds like you might've deleted something important, might be worth it to scrap everything and redownload Steam + TF2
