they're actually called "notebook computers" op because you aren't supposed to use them on your lap, it is very bad ergonomics

what kind of idiot buys a non-apple laptop? even if you were stupid enough to put windows or lunix on it, a MacBook is the best choice.

I used a macbook on my lap for a long time and it slowly cooked and discolored the flesh on my leg near the CPU. took years to heal and the hair still grows in funny

the main problem with using the surface pro 3 is that they put the start button on the rigth side and it's touch sensative so you can be writing or drawing and suddenly oh poo poo i brushed the button with my hand

i opened the start menu again

so you flip it upside down, but then make the keyboard attachment for hitting ctrl+z or other shortcuts rapidly completely useless

it's not that good

"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.

it's fr simulating a life support machine or an ECG or something, and it will run mannequin software. it's for resuccitation training. and the ECG machines or whateer are touch screen so simulating them like that makes sense rather than using a mouse
