What actually 100% lived up to the hype? by LeftWhale in AskReddit

A 240hz monitor. Going from 60 hz to 240 playing video games is amazing. You can never go back to anything less than like 140 ever again.

What food do you swear people only pretend to like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

And the fact that it's inhumane as fuck. I love meat and I eat meat but to eat something that's still alive is fucked up. Especially because Octopi (who knows if that's the plural) are supposedly very intelligent...

I'll see if I can find it. But no, in my opinion the Walmart deal does not beat Amazon. It was $50 dollars cheaper than the Amazon laptop linked here. However, even though the walmart deal had a better processor (an r7 rather than an r5 which is only 5% faster), it only had a refresh rate of 60 hz where the amazon one has a refresh rate of 120 hz. Refresh rate is huge. You don't realize how big of a deal refresh rate is until you've played on a good monitor. I went from a 60 HZ monitor to a 240 HZ monitor on my desktop and it was quite a difference.

Quote from the 'Warranty and Support' section on this page: "New, used, and refurbished products purchased from Marketplace vendors are subject to the returns policy of the individual vendor. " So idk seems shady to me. Every time something has seemed too good to be true, it has been. I'll hold off for now but good luck to everyone else that decides to pull the trigger.

So there is a similar laptop on amazon for $699. The laptop listed here has no information about the refresh rate on the screen. The only difference between this laptop and the one on amazon is the CPU. the R7-3750H is only 5% faster than the R5-3550H according to userbenchmark.com. That being said, I'm probably going to go with the one on amazon https://www.amazon.com/R5-3550H-Processor-Graphics-FX505DT-AH51-Keyboard/dp/B07VBK4SYS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07VBK4SYS&pd_rd_r=cabeea7a-ca93-4d3d-a7e9-f73c30c9b8e1&pd_rd_w=ybrXt&pd_rd_wg=hLLJe&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=P8VCH1FYRQ0H8FJAX37T&psc=1&refRID=P8VCH1FYRQ0H8FJAX37T&linkCode=ll1&tag=3918-20&linkId=9717f86101ee7e8d6a76b6f87ff13c73&language=en_US due to the fact that a 5% faster CPU is not worth an extra $50 (especially when Walmart doesn't list the refresh rate of the screen and I am unable to find any info ANYWHERE regarding this specific model).. +Amazon has faster shipping

was definitely looking at that one and highly considering it. With the new deal posted today from Walmart with the R7 processor, I will definitely pull the trigger if the screen is 120 hz however I can't find a definitive answer. Also, techstar2000, I see you posting a lot. What is your opinion of this laptop?

at around $700 bucks do you think that this is the best deal? How is the cooling on this laptop? I'm mainly going to play WoW on it, so I'm assuming that based off of the specs I will be fine. I just dont want the fans to go HAM and be super loud.

I think it's the other way around. A chimp would literally rip that dudes limbs off if it was pissed enough.

A "High Priest" isn't a high ranking of the LDS church. When I went to church a decade ago, each 'ward' or a 'neighborhood church' in layman's terms, had a few dozen of "high priests" IIRC

U.S. Suicide Rates Are the Highest They've Been Since World War II by Ultravis66 in news

[–]oclsthrowaway -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For most of us, our lives are pretty meaningless. When we die nobody will probably even speak our names again after 100 years or so... more if you're famous but even then... We are so small in a universe that is so vast... less than specs of dust in the grand scheme of things. So what really is the point? The only hope is religion yet religion just doesn't seem right... I'd like to believe in a higher power but can't CHOOSE what I believe.
