"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

dunno I'd say there are a bunch of very acceptable laptops, but they're usually awful in a very specific and different way for each brand. The neat dells have crap parts and coil whine, lenovo laptops are a hotbed of malware and generally a nickel and dime operation, HP laptops are bland
