    1. @redenchilada I hate netbooks in general.

      1. @greatandpowerfuleaglehooves I like small laptops that are still powerful.

        1. @techdisk42 I've got a 14", I don't think I could go too much smaller.

          2. @greatandpowerfuleaglehooves i think my laptop is 13.3" (at least its screen is) and it can play skyrim on high. I love my laptop. It's also 3.5 pounds, so it's freaking amazing.

            1. @techdisk42 My 14" weighs in at over 4.5...

              3. @greatandpowerfuleaglehooves I had a 15" that weighed 5 pounds, had a 1366x768 resolution, and couldn't play minecraft at all. My current laptop is 13.3", 1600x900, 3.5 pounds, and can run skyrim. I do believe I got an upgrade. :D

                  1. @pawnheart shut your mouth you mediocre clarinet player.

                    1. @techdisk42 (gasp)... (gasp)... How dare you! ...It's not a clarinet, it's a soprano sax. And I consider myself "middling".

                      1. @pawnheart lol I kid, I was trying to make a Spongebob reference. I play the alto sax myself.

                  1. @yodelerty it's a Sony Vaio SA. it cost $1500, but it was worth every loonie. Don't get the SB, it's a lot more crappy.

                    Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 18:22:47 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
                    1. @techdisk42 I have some sort of Vaio right now. It was only $700, though, so I can't blame it for being crappy. >.<

                      1. @yodelerty Hehe, my mom has a $700 Vaio. She constantly carps about how mine is better and she wants it. (Same with my phone, actually! ;3)

                        Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 18:26:42 UTC from web
                        1. @redenchilada I only really want it to be lighter and have longer battery life. Mine weighs ~7 lbs and has ~2 hour battery life the way I use it. :|

                          Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 18:28:23 UTC from web
                        2. @redenchilada lol my mom got the exact same $1500 computer I got, because she wanted a new one that had an English keyboard. Those bilingual keyboards they put on laptops here in Canada are HORRIBLE. The SA had a standard US keyboard, while the SB had a bilingual. My mom paid alot more just so she could avoid that keyboard.

                          Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 18:30:02 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
                          1. @techdisk42 I friggin' hate the bilingual keyboard. Every so often my laptop'll just decide it wants to go to Canadian bilingual mode and I'll start typing accented E's instead of commas. :|

                            2. @yodelerty Ctrl-Shift changes keyboard layout.

                              Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 18:35:06 UTC from web
                              1. @minti I knew it was something I was doing. >_<

                                Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 18:36:00 UTC from web
                            3. @yodelerty you can fix that by holding the right ctrl and right shift, or you can go into language settings and just plain delete the French layout. Besides, I was talking about the physical bilingual keyboard that cuts your left shift in half, shoves your enter key way over to the right, and adds all these french symbols onto the keys. I'm a touch typest, and i become about 40% slower on these keyboards than a normal English one.

                              Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 18:37:27 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
                              1. @techdisk42 My keyboard has a bunch of French characters on it next to the regular characters, which I assume is what you're talking about.

                                1. @yodelerty I find it funny that I'm in Quebec, and we don't have those here (as much).

                                2. @yodelerty if your left shift key is about the same size as the rest of your keys, then yes. If it's a long "bar" key, it's English or something else.

                                  Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 18:42:21 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
                                  1. @techdisk42 Yeah, it's the same as all the regular keys. :/

                                    Wednesday, 28-Mar-12 18:45:37 UTC from web
                                    1. @yodelerty lemme guess, it's right beside a \ key. Yep, you have the curse of the Canadian keyboard. DUN DUN DUUUUUUN.

      2. @greatandpowerfuleaglehooves 14" is the minimum laptop size for me. I prefer my 18".

        1. @redenchilada For <16" I would just use my 10.1" netbok

          1. @nerthos But uuuuuugh, 10" is painful.

            1. @redenchilada Can't complain, got it for free, and the thing can work for six hours on battery.

              1. @nerthos Well, free is always good!

                1. @redenchilada The taxes of the people of this country paid for something for me to use as entertainment! They should have paid someone who knew how to install proper restriction software, though, disabled the porn filter and anti theft at the secon day from MSconfig.
