Re: [PLUG] other laptop

Check out the video card specs and the processor specs, often "gaming" laptops have a higher end CPU Quasi Desktop part and similar with the video card. They will also tend to throw off alot of heat. I'm rocking an MSI laptop, the GS-65 and when it's cranking there are parts of the chassis that get super hot.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

I despise people who go to the gutter on either the right or the left and hurl rocks at those in the center.

Not every child has an equal talent or an equal ability or equal motivation, but they should have the equal right to develop their talent and their ability and their motivation, to make something of themselves.

With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.

For in the final analysis, our most basic common link, is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children's futures, and we are all mortal.
