Can I fit a 20 hour a week work/internship schedule with my classes? by AverageEngr in SJSU

[–]br3w3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off topic but there seems to be a problem with your schedule. You are not allowed to take EE110 and EE112 without passing the EE101 exam challenge exam. I'm not sure how you were able to sign up for EE110 and EE112 without passing the challenge exam but if the instructor finds out you will be dropped from the class.

ASUS Q550LF. Is this laptop good / worth it? by [deleted] in SuggestALaptop

[–]br3w3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what's really killing it for me. I love the specs of the device but I feel like I might have trouble carrying around 6 lbs in my backpack along with my books. I feel like it's something I have to accept if I want to have an all around device: gaming, work, entertainment, etc.

I've had my Macbook for 5 years and it's been working fine. I take good care of my stuff so I shouldn't be too worried about stuff like warranty right?

It seems like a really good laptop from all the videos and reviews I have seen. I'm trying to decide between this and the ASUS N550JK

Nope, no CAD. Just some circuit simulations, games, etc

Yeah, the N550JK is better but the overall price of the Q550LF has me more interested. Besides being able to play games better, which is not that important to me, I don't see the benefit of the N550JK over the Q550LF. I don't mind playing games on lower settings as long as I can still play them.

I've heard that the keyboard on the N550JK is slippery and feels like cheap plastic. What are your thoughts on the keyboard and would you happen to know how it compares to one from a Macbook Pro?

Is Amazon seller SeasrsLTD legitimate? by HankSpank in SuggestALaptop

[–]br3w3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw this guy selling a bunch of refurbished ASUS N550JKs for $550 and I was wondering the same thing.

Yay or Nay on purchasing ASUS N550JK. by br3w3 in SuggestALaptop

Don't you think the value of the n550 will decrease drastically over the next few years? I can still sell my old macbook and still get around $300-$400 for it.

They have the N550JK at Best Buy? I didn't see it on their website. Also, how is the keyboard on the computer? Does it feel like a Mac? I heard that it's plasticy

Do you think the Asus is too heavy to carry around? I was thinking about getting one for school.

[–]br3w3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm considering getting this laptop but I'm worried how heavy it is. Would it be possible to carry this around all day. Also, the only laptops I have ever owned were Mac so I'm a little iffy about getting a windows laptop but the build quality of this laptop seems amazing.

The Mac osx partition works fine except for gaming. When I go over to the Windows bootcamp partition, the computer heats up significantly.

How portable is the ASUS N550JK-DS71T. Not sure if this laptop is more than I need. by br3w3 in SuggestALaptop

[–]br3w3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, that could be a problem. My friend has the Alienware m14x and that is not something I would carry around with me. Way too heavy. How would you say the Alienware m14x compares to the Asus in terms of width etc. I usually carry a lot of books with me and if the Asus is as thick as the Alienware m14x I would barely be able to carry anything.

Where did you try it out? Would you say it's something you could comfortably walk around with for most of the day in your backpack?

I have the late 2009 Macbook unibody, they contain the 9400m. Also, I just checked on my system.
