yeah youre right the people that are attracted on this board cease to amaze me also.
The people attracted to this board stopped amazing you? Also?
maybe you dont realize that 1300 dollars for a college student doesnt grow on trees. if you work for minimum wage 1300 dollars can take a really long time to earn.
When did I ever mention 1300 dollars, read over this thread. I said for the sake of argument that you can get a 50 inch plasma for under 1000 dollars.
i think he wants a simple cheap alternative thats immediate and wont cost him a shitload of money. its not as simple as oh its only 1300 dollars big deal just pick one up.
I know you can't write, but can you not read either? He said he has 2 grand to spend on a laptop. 2000 Dollars on a laptop is complete overkill unless you are using it as a portable gaming system (Or you get a MacBook Pro //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif), even then its not really worth it. I suggested that he spend 1000 dollars on a laptop, or hell, spend 1600 on a laptop, then get a TV with the remaining money.
playing your laptop in the car is really not that hard... i play video games on my laptop all the time on long trips and ive played ps2 on a tv on a long trip also and it really was not bad at all. unless your driver plans on driving like jeff gordan i dont think you should worry about losing balance and end up dying on level 24 when the driver makes a turn.
Next time you get in a car, put a laptop on your lap, and don't touch it. Its not hard playing games on a laptop when your hands are touching the keyboard holding the thing on. As far as your comment about a car tv, that is flat out irrelevant and really doesn't make sense.
i think he wants a tv but if you dont work that often and pay for your own gas and food and bills, earning up enough money for a plasma could take years. he wants something cheap, effective nd immediate.
Thats true, a few hundred dollars doesn't grow on a tree. But apparantly he has a pretty nice $2000 tree somewhere in his backyard because he has it to spend on a laptop. Cut the f'ing tree in a few pieces, then spend it.
also plasmas in a dorm room is a retarded idea. plasmas run really really hot and will turn the dorm room into an oven so unless you want a sauna as a dorm i wouldnt suggest getting a plasma for a small dorm room. lcd would be the way to go. and i already suggested that he gets a small lcd tv maybe like a 20in one that can be portable and used in the car too if he wants something portable.
Once again the reference to a 50 inch plasma was simply for example. Yes you are right plasma's get hot, LCD's get very hot too, mine heats up my living room. But now you are back on this portability thing, he wanted something for his laptop so he could play PS3 in his room without a tv, not so he could play it in the car.
