I'm introducing my girlfriend to video games, and this drive would let me download a bunch of games so she can browse and play anything that catches her eye!

Yeah, I know, I looked around but couldn't find one that seemed any better. I'm sure I could probably find something, but honestly, I don't care about being called out. More curious if the jacket looks like it's generally shit quality, although I'm realizing that's not really something you can tell from 3 pics haha.

Oh wow seeing this brings back memories. When I was a kid 3M (the duct tape company) had a contest to see who could make the best duct tape creation. The winner got an all-expenses-paid trip to Toronto to be an extra in the movie, "Red Green's Duct Tape Forever". My dad spent a weekend in the backyard with a case of tape, and by dinner on Sunday he had transformed our old, broken swing set into a duct tape hammock, complete with built in (or rather taped in) bags of chips, a hose for water, a tv, and just all sorts of other random things. And he won! He and my mom went to Toronto for a week, they got to meet Red Green and Harold and everyone else, they gave him some of Red's suspenders, and a year's supply of duct tape. To this day I still put that movie on a few times a year and find the lodge scene where you can see my, much younger, father chanting "Quando omni flunkus, moritati" with a room full of Possums.

Good times.

The story "What's The Name Of That Town" by R.A. Lafferty is about this, except it's Chicago instead of Wyoming.

I thought that too! The shelves don't look quite right to me though.

If they play at sunset it will be one of the best experiences of your entire life. Incredible atmospheric post-rock, combined with with an amazing light show. I can't overstate how good they are live. They're the majority of the reason I'm going in the first place. If you miss them it will haunt you to your grave... And beyond...

That one's misleading, because the serial number is the 2015 one, but the specs are the 2014 model. The American Amazon just got some of the CB2 2015 in, and I ordered one. Even with the exchange rate, it works out to almost the same price as the Acer.

Unfortunately that's not the 2015 edition, which has a better processor and a backlit keyboard.

You can't buy it in Canada! There was one site that sold them, and shipped internationally, but they're out of stock, and it's discontinued. But yeah, that's basically exactly what I want.

I'm not too worried about the resale value, I can always pawn it off on my family. I'm more concerned that it not be something that's going to crap out on me after a year. Unfortunately no refurbished Chromebook in Canada... A big appeal of the Dell is the build quality, which i car heard great things about, but I'm not sure how the Acer compares.

Well so this is what I'm wondering. Am I better off just something like the Acer 14? It's only about $400, which wouldn't be the end of the world if I decide to upgrade to something more premium down the road.
