#6 Laptop for College? in Hardware
EpicBroccoliI 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.

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?

#1 Laptop for College? in Hardware

I will be going to college next year, and, although I would love to bring a desktop, it just isn't feasible. So, I need a good laptop to bring with me that can run TF2 fairly well.

As for more specific requirements...

    I really don't want a laptop with any obnoxious gaming branding on it.
    It would be nice to have a screen size of 14-17 inches, as I will be carrying it to classes.
    I want a laptop with a graphics card, nothing huge, but something good enough to run TF2 in DX8.
    A HDD is fine, but a SSD would be a nice bonus. Not really particular on size, as I only use 100 GB on my desktop right now.
    A Touch screen is not necessary.
    Memory around 8GB would be good.
    A backlit keyboard would be a bonus.

My budget is currently around $1600. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

#9 Sezco made me decide to post this in TF2 General Discussion
MasterKuniI also had an idea to make a hud mod with tf2center support built in. However, tf2center doesn't have any readily-available APIs for polling lobby data/joining lobbies AFAIK, so this would be difficult to do without some TLC from the tf2center devs.

Who runs tf2center? Do they have email contacts or something?

#9 Hats dropped on death in Q/A Help

Dear Valve,

Please make a command to get rid of hats on the ground. They are often mistaken for ammo or stickies.

Your Friends,

I was actually thinking about something like this, but it's more like a bank. You can put refined metal in "the bank" and it gains interest. In return, the bank owners can loan that money for profit, just like a normal bank. Does anything like this exist?

#32 buying a car, help! in Off Topic
TheFragilechiveDo you have any type of a budget?
My budget is pretty open. I'm not looking to spend like $700 in car payments every month, but I have a lot of breathing room to do whatever.

I would go with the Jetta TDI. Although I would prefer the GTI, you said you aren't really into cars, so the TDI would be a great fit. My uncle has one, and it drives nicely. It's not flashy, but it gets the job done with some good gas mileage.

#12 what happened to ruwin & ma3la in Off Topic
SleepingLifeRuwin is playing way worse than he was in S12.

I disagree. It's unfair to compare the ruwin of S12 on scout with the ruwin of S16 on Pocket. They are two different classes. Yes, ruwin did allow b4nny the opportunity to play scout with clockwork, but that was because b4nny truly wanted to play scout. Ruwin knew b4nny would do well on scout, and that he would be comfortable helping his team win on pocket. Worse, maybe. But way worse, no.
