  1. Suggestions on a laptop?

    in Computer Talk - News, technology, advice

    Posted

    i have been getting my laptops for the last few years from best buy. my current is a asus ROG g72 bought for $1200 few yrs ago. maybe you can find one now cheaper. has 17" screen,6g ram,500g hd and is no slouch.best part for you would be the backlit keyboard so your roommate can sleep while you type in the dark.

    That's a beast of a computer, no doubt, but its a gaming rig through and through. Battery life sucks balls.

    I'd completely forgotten about this thread.

    Off hand, two computers I can point you toward are the HP Envy and the Dell XPS. I personally hate HP, but either computer should serve your needs.

  4. Which Upcoming Albums/Mixtapes you psyched for?

    Curious to hear what your guy's most anticipated mixtape or album is. That is dropping before the end of the year.

    Mine would be J Cole. Been waiting forEVER for this album. Should go hard.

    Next would be Game's R.E.D. album. Alot of the other people I listen to have already dropped or wont be dropping this year.

    Also cant forget Jeezy's TM: 103 and the mixtape that is supposed to drop prior to the album drop.

    I came into the thread to say just that.

    convert the file to aac for your ipod and dont compress it. works just fine.

    i like the song, sounds good.

    Ripping in ALAC and sending the file uncompressed to your iPod works as well. I'd assume most headunits would be able to handle ALAC that way.

    I love the idea of FLAC, but until it gains more support, I'll keep using other formats.

    A nice set of speakers? Completely doable. But relatively speaking they still won't be good. There is only so much sound you can get out of 1 inch drivers and 2.5 watts of power.

    Many universities offer discounts on office packages. There is also a website that let's you download it for like 50 bucks if I remember correctly. I suggest finding it elsewhere and installing it that way.

    If this Is going to be a computer you walk around campus with, I strongly suggest a 15 inch or smaller. I tote around a large laptop on A daily basis and while it is something I do because I like to game while I'm on campus, it isn't something I would suggest everyone do. 7 pounds doesn't sound like much, but when it's all said and done, you will end up with about 15+ lbs. on. Still, if you find the added weight something you won't mind, more power to you.

    Regardless, all this should be attainable within your budget, assuming you aren't looking to engage in gaming at high settings.

    What kind of battery life are you looking for?

    As an aside, I suggest avoiding a screen with a res of 1366 x 768 or less. Once you step up, you will have a hard time going back down. Trust me on this one.

    After you reply, I'll see if I can't get to a computer and give you a couple suggestions.

    3.5 cubes is way too big for just one 12". just get a 15 again theyre not that much more. both subs will like that power and sound good too. its up to u and what u want to get

    Saying 3.5 cubes is way too big for just one 12 is an overly broad generalization. Those are dangerous, no matter where you go. And from the reading I've been doing, that may not necessarily be the case.

    And he's already built the box. And is trying to downsize from a 15.

  14. Amp Damage

    Is the rightmost speaker terminal melted?

    Even if I used it, I think I'd have to send it in to someone and have them look it over for internal damage.

    I know it isn't the same power, but I've clipped the shit out of my M1a for extended periods and the terminal has not melted.

    I think db drives wire is nice, Never heard anyone complain about it

    local shop got dblink for 80 bucks. 2k. will that be good to run with the crescendo bc/2000

    He recommended DB Drive, not DB Link. From my findings the DB Link is small wire in a large jacket, no good.

    Touche. DB Drive is decent, not DB Link

    OK COOL. GONNA CHECK THE DB DRIVE, THEN IF I DONT LIKE IT GONNA GET THE KOLLOSUS

    Calm down playa. No need to yell. lol

    FWIW, I really, really like Knu. The only times I won't use it is if I'm doing something for someone and they are overly price sensitive.

    In vehicles I'll do, I'm using Knu. Stinger is good as well, but in my experience, it isn't quite as flexible as knu. I have some Kicker coming in and I'll let you know how that stands.

    The only thing I absolutely dislike about Knu is their combined RCA and remote wire. Stupidest thing I've ever seen.

    Autotek is not at all a crap brand. They make some low level stuff but also some quality stuff. If you want specs go to manufacturing websites.

    Have you gone to their site? Not only is the amp not listed, but the amps they list there are also only listed with max ratings.

    Sonic Electronix doesn't even list RMS figures for the Autotek. So I'm going to act upon the assumption that its a crap brand. I'm not super familiar with them, so IDK, but that's what I'm going to assume. Also, completely toss max ratings. They tell you absolutely nothing.

    Most amplifiers that list max ratings also state RMS figures around half that. This amplifier says it will do 1200w bridged at 4 ohm. So I'll guess it will do 600 wRMS bridged at 4 ohm. And being that I've assumed its a crap brand, I'll knock off another 150 watts because crap brands also have a tendency to be over rated. So lets assume you're actually getting 450 watts. That leaves you with a 350 watt difference. The massive will almost certainly output cleaner power than the Autotek.

    All that I said above was me speculating. I could be completely wrong and Autotek outputs more than 600 watts of perfectly clean power. What I said below will stand either way.

    Would it be worth dropping the money on a new amplifier? That's up to you. Being that you said you were already planning to upgrade, I'd just save my money and buy better equipment in the future instead of buying an amplifier I'd only use for a couple months and then have to stick in a closet.
