R Unlimited CZ

I'm finally back.

Late march, I spilled a glass of Cola on my laptop. I spent time after that on a replacement laptop with an integrated graphics card that couldn't handle tremulous...

But now, I finally have a new laptop, with a switchable setup.

Here's some specs:

GPU-Z:

1 -
2 -

CPU-Z:


SuperPi:
1M:
2M:

Noticed you around not long ago. Warmed up nicely?

Only 4 people were on the server, so I headed over to the american servers to deal some carnage, muhahaha

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5670 is far better than this graphic card. Anyway notebook has limited power so it's just waste of cash.

Er, one thing: a graphics card is a dedicated card which you plug into a motherboard. Built-in graphics hardware != graphics card. And Intel, for one, don't do graphics cards: it's always on the motherboard…

Faulty logic there. You're forgetting the portability, which more than offsets that. I could equally well say that a desktop computer uses more electricity so it's just a waste of cash…

Something for you to try: next time you're out somewhere, take a desktop computer, monitor etc. with you and try to use it. In a pub, on a bus, or outside… doesn't matter too much where. If you can manage that without any problems then yes, I'll agree, for you something more portable and designed for portability is a waste of money.

Wow, now that you can calculate 1M of numbers in PI you will totally rock at math!

Spla i didn't understand you lol. Ima bit dizzy now o.o
I think PC is better for gaming but i hate these big keyboards

lol desktop on a bus. now that's on my top ten things to see list.

lol i can't stop laughing and yes i think computers are a waste of money. weather it being a laptop, desktop, or kindle. all of them waste almost the same amount of enegry at the end of the year.

and the more it gets smaller the more it gets money wise. for example check out the phones we have now. the guy who invented the moblie phone only thought of telephoning someone not to become a mini computer of itself.

i sirsly think the world is being over run by computers.

What's so hard about that that you don't understand? I don't understand…

Don't spin so much, then

What are you complaining about? You can buy small netbookish keyboards for desktop boxes.

Not sure about that last bit. Laptops use quite a bit less: desktop boxes can be a bit power-hungry, particularly CPU & GPU, and external monitors tend to use more than laptop display panels.

And ebook readers – different display technology. AIUI, power is only used there when changing the display content, and the rest of the hw is low-power too…

As for waste of money – depends…

Was always going to happen: marketing ("Be a good little consumer. You need this. Buy it." "Meh. Yes. Meh.") and we've got better at doing more with less power.

(Mine? Small QWERTY keyboard, more than a phone, but still significantly less than a tablet computer. I suppose that a good test is whether you can run Tremulous on it…)

The computers disagree. They say that it's overrun by humans.

lol spl@ is always the funny one. if i was to vote for the new owner of R unlimited CZ (if it ever comes to this) i'll vote spl@ all the way.

p.s. even if he kills me.
