I've narrowed my long search for a laptop down to two, unless someone else can recommend a similar laptop to the ones I'm 'bout to mention.

I guess overall, I'm just trying to decide which brand is more reputable as longevity: Asus or lenovo. Many people (and from my experience) have said stay away from Dells. HP's are ugly. Acer are known for cheap, but not good for long lasting. Toshibas are too expensive. So on and so forth...

What do you guys think? <3
Thanks, you guys are the best!  :)

I would go with the asus  they make good computer hardware and I have never heard of lezno. The laptops are pretty much Identical processor, ram, Hard drive and the Asus has a 2 year warranty

Lenovos in general are reputable and known for being long-lasting, tough computers. If you can afford one, they're a solid buy.

Definitely both solid brands, but between those two I would pick the ASUS. You get .4" more of screen, the graphics card has 90 more M's, the 7200 RPM HD as opposed to the lenovo's meager 5400. Since you are looking at laptops with dedicated graphics cards I'm assuming they will be used for at least some incidental gaming, so those will all make a difference, though it will also likely affect battery life. But what would seal the deal for me is: Accidental Damage Warranty     1 year ASUS Accidental Damage Warranty - Drops, Fire, Spill, Surge. I didn't know laptops came with stuff like that!

Met up with Armin today. That was cool. Hung out, played cards, watched TV, ate stew, made fun of towelie, etc.

Next step: meeting up with MyndFyre AND Armin. And then reenacting bangbus. Where we bang girls on the bus. But instead of a bus, it's the back of my truck. Unless MyndFyre has a cool van or something.

Or just salt river tubing. Less work for all of us.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I went with the Asus. I just hope the battery life isn't horrid. Hoping between 2 to 3 hours.

Out of all the x86 people you've met so far, who's the coolest?!

It's hard to say. You're all so cool!

Armin's band rocks!

No, but really, watching Metal rock out live was awesome. Next: salt river tubing.

So I stepped on my phone last week and broke the screen. I get the replacement phone and it has 41 naked pictures of some girl. She's not hot. She's overweight and black. (not that black girls can't be hot)

P.S. This replacement phone is from a company. Maybe I should complain.
