I got a Tomahawk, Time to destroy some stuff!

i grabbed both the short and long sog tomahawks.
the smaller one is way way easier to throw XD

Nice choice in brand. If something ever breaks on it and you have to call technical support, don't bother talking to one of the foreign representatives. They're clueless forgets. Ask to speak to a manager and tell the manager to send you a new laptop because you don't have time to send it in for repairs. If you send it in for repairs they'll have it for months with little to no communication on the status of your computer. I have the Lenovo Y50 and experienced this issue first hand.

It was an early christmas present. Consider that before you tell me how bad it is.

And regardless, I already called support and asked some questions about the Z50's BIOS. The person I was talking with actually knew exactly what they were talking about. I still had to hold for like ~5 minutes though.

As it turns out, this laptop actually has a tiny button on the side to access the bios settings instead of having to press f12 or some stuff on the BIOS screen. And it has a hidden partition that allows you to reinstall the OS from the BIOS settings. This computer is really cool.

I wasn't being sarcastic or anything. I love lenovo, it's just every time I called technical support they were completely clueless until I started speaking to a manager. And yeah the novo button is really nice to have.

I just finished my dual boot, and I love Windows 8's default bootloader. It's great.

Cool! Im getting a Alienware gaming laptop :P It needs to be built so im getting it on January 21st instead of X-mas.. :C Im excited anyway.

my mom is getting a laptop for christmas to replace our stuffty old windows xp siemens "field pg" or whatever. dunno what brand it is but it's probably a facebook-tier one.

i'm hoping to get a laptop in the summer, maybe an origin one because my dad has an origin pc and it's hella cool.
