What have you bought lately?

[midlifeaspie]

I need a computer nerd to weigh in for me.  I bought a new laptop last night.  A Sony Vaio T13 with a 256 SSD, 8 GB RAM and an Intel Core i7 chip running at 1.9/3.0.  Not that I have the time for such things, but if I wanted to game on this thing, would it be worth even trying?  I have been a strict console gamer forever now, but there seem to be some fun things to be done with Bethesda games using a PC.

Sounds like enough CPU power to me.

Thanks.

Might be a moot point as it doesn't have an optical drive.

If you have a DVD drive on some other machine, you can use that.

Excellent link.  Thanks.  I would  you but am in a time out for the next hour.

Pic of the pattern on the new scarf I bought at the thrift shop. Wore it last night. Love it.

Pretty!!

Fixed the post by adding a quote, had missed out on an entire page again.

A Beretta BU9 Nano 9mm. It is smaller and lighter than my Glock 26s are and slightly larger but 3.6 ounces lighter than my Kahr MK9. http://www.berettausa.com/products/nano/

Nice.

A chocolate cake, some rolling baccy and papers, 4 bags of lemon imperials (like mint imps, but lemon flavoured instead, and completely addictive, some dairylea cream cheese tubs (got IIRC, 6 of them, and ate the lot in one go), as well as 4 big bottles of ready-mixed rum cocktails, pineapple daiquiri, pina colada, a mango one, and some blue stuff. The blue one is the only one I've got left now, apart from half a bottle of pina colada...really thirst quenching, tasty stuff. Not too strongly alcoholic, so perfect just for keeping  on the bedside table for whenever I get thirsty (normally I always keep a couple of 2l bottles of coke/cherry coke next to my bed, and finish at least one a night)

Is the Amazon streaming service available over there?

Yes, I think so. Haven't tried it, though.

I think it works pretty well.  I have completely given up my addiction to physical media and make all my purchases on the Amazon cloud now.

  Do you have to sit quietly in the time out chair?
