Random Thought Thread

I am looking at two laptops. One is an HP with a 1TB HD and removable battery, but it's wifi card is 108.11ac 1x1. Configured with Blu-ray, it's $250 more than the Toshiba with in-built battery but it has a 2TB hard drive and 108.11ac 2x2.

The problem I have with the Toshiba I have is pulling it out of the bag, which is why I broke it--squeezing it too tight. The extended battery of the HP acts as a handle, which would alleviate that problem.

I'm thinking I might just go with Toshiba and get some Sugru... make my own pulling handle on the bottom of the laptop. I can live without Blu-ray.

Opinions?

Toshiba > HP
...never been a fan of HP, except for the sauce.
 
HPs are easy to work on, and they have an online catalog for parts.

My issues with the Toshiba's involve non-user-removable batteries and flexible lids-- I broke my touchscreen by squeezing to hard pulling the laptop out of my bag.

I think I will get the Toshiba at Wal-Mart anyway... I can get a two year replacement insurance for $80 that covers cracked screens and I'm still ahead.
 
That would be so fun! I've only seen 4 of the places on the list, I just went to Fort Snelling last summer (I think for the very first time even though it's not that far from me); I got to take a trip to DC for work 2 yrs ago, so I've seen the White House (just from the outside). I've also seen Mount Rushmore on the way to visit my brother in CO - who lives near Pike's Peak so I saw that, too. But I think a road trip like this would be a blast :)
