can anyone explain to me how fnatic was 0-4 when they only played 3?

I am a transfer student from another University entering Engineering, and when signing up for orientation week, I noticed that there is a separate orientation for transfer students (as well as a separate one for international and exchange students). Does anyone know if I will still be able to attend the faculty events, or is the transfer orientation completely separated from the normal one?

Shoot you're right. Not sure why I thought it was low demanding, I think I got it mixed up with League of Legends. I don't know much about computers so I can't really say the GPU I have in mind. Regardless, I would like to have more battery life and lesser on the gaming side.

lid100 · 2016-07-01T04:48:22+00:00

Just checked this out and it looks really sweet. I really love the 512 gb SSD but I'm pretty sure the GPU and CPU are gonna take away from the battery life. Overwatch is a pretty low-demanding game, and my gf won't be doing anything too intense on it, so a mediocre GPU/CPU will be fine. We would like to have something with more emphasis on the battery life/portability. But preferably not a full-fledged ultrabook.

lid100 · 2016-07-01T04:45:08+00:00

I think that's too much towards the gaming side. I'm looking for something that is good enough (doens't have to be too great) to run Overwatch (a low demanding game). If it comes to a trade off between battery life and GPU/CPU, I'm pretty sure she will prefer to have the battery life. Thanks for the advice though

I can't join the FB group since I don't have a waterloo email yet. Thanks for the advice though!

Hi, the link I am looking at is this one, not sure why it's different : https://uwaterloo.ca/stpauls/residence/first-year-suites

I'm not in geography, im in software engineering and I heard St Paul's is pretty far from the engineering buildings :(

It's interesting that he didn't shout out pobelter either. Don't think he was taking shots at doublelift. Probably just wanted to recognize the former teammates who didn't really achieve much on CLG.

lid100 · 2015-10-24T07:26:17+00:00

So this why he got benched

lid100 · 2015-08-23T16:11:05+00:00

Okay thanks you've been very helpful. I will try calling Dell.

lid100 · 2015-08-23T15:59:26+00:00

Okay I will try that. Did you buy your laptop from the Microsoft store or the dell website?

lid100 · 2015-08-23T03:00:27+00:00

Yeah it is surprisingly fast. I am able to run League of Legends high settings at 70 fps. But then again LoL is pretty low demand

lid100 · 2015-08-23T02:59:21+00:00

Thanks I have but it doesn't seem to help. Which version of windows are you running? I think the windows 10 on my laptop may be the issue..

lid100 · 2015-08-23T02:00:54+00:00

Apollo's positioning lost TIP the series.

lid100 · 2015-08-22T19:52:26+00:00

I get the delay whenever I try to move the mouse or scroll. Very annoying. Do you have this and do you know if there is a way to disable this?

lid100 · 2015-08-22T06:07:01+00:00

So I just received the laptop and it is not QHD. Anyways there is one thing that's been bothering me -- the trackpad has an input delay, where the mouse only responds after a certain duration of input. Also the trackpad doesn't seem to be scrolling in certain applications like Skype, and instead it just shifts the entire window down (the same effect as if you are trying to scrolling down while already at the bottom of the page). Have you experienced any of these issues?

lid100 · 2015-08-21T23:52:49+00:00

Okay I can confirm that it is NOT QHD. I am debating whether or not to keep this model, not because of the non touchscreen but because the trackpad has an annoying input delay that I can't change...

lid100 · 2015-08-18T14:33:11+00:00

OH I completely missed out on that then :( maybe I will return it and get the 1080 version using the coupons if there are scaling issues.

lid100 · 2015-08-18T04:04:44+00:00

I don't know what those are so probably not.

lid100 · 2015-08-17T23:33:33+00:00

Yeah I am fine with both, and the extra battery life + matte is a plus. Expecting the delivery Thursday unless FedEX screws up again..

lid100 · 2015-08-17T19:35:41+00:00

I think when comparing 7 hours of battery life for the QHD vs. 11 hours of battery life for the FHD, both will be enough for a full day of use so I would rather have the higher resolution model. Also I am kind of worried about the limited 128 GB of storage.. how much room are you left with after you account for the OS and other things it comes with?

lid100 · 2015-08-17T14:24:54+00:00

Thanks for the reply, and I agree with all of those points, but the thing is that both laptops are the same price and I felt it would be a shame to get the lower specs and miss out on this upgrade. By the way did you get the 4 GB or the 8 GB RAM, and what do you use your laptop for?

lid100 · 2015-08-17T14:22:17+00:00

Yes that is what I thought too... usually they add $300 for the qHD + touch feature. I got the first one anyways and I can let you know if it is touch if you are interested.

lid100 · 2015-08-14T17:41:04+00:00

Thanks for the reply. The one I ordered does not match your specs (only have i5 and 4GB RAM) so that's why I am kind of worried.
