Its hilarious (in a pathetic way) how people will lay out every damned piece of electronics they own when they take a pic of their "workstations"

Its pretty obvious how everything is laid out, lined-up, and "on display"

This isn't a show-n-tell - we want to see people's desks/workstations/computers -- not their lame ass motorola, and some puny pathetic ipod nano :rolleyes:

Can you take a few pictures for me? I cant seem to find good shots on it online, like pictures of the top and the front of the laptop. Thanks! :D

you cant take pictures of ideapads, they will instantly fall apart upon sight of the camera flash - they are junk -- dont confuse them with the ThinkPads which are the best/most reliable laptops on the market.

ideapads - plastic

ThinkPad - titanium & magnesium alloy

No changes, only moved my case and placed it on the floor... :)

@trek: Would be nice to have my laptop closed while connected to an external, but it can't be done. Mainly because it automatically shuts off the display but also because it gets quite warm.

Your settings must be wrong. You should be able to use your laptop (minus the heat issue) closed while the external display remains on.

lol TamilBoy86, funny that you post up your workstation because I was going to make a request for you to post it. good timing.

although i'm still against having a macbook as a 24/7 windows notebook. :whistle:

lol... MacBook Pro + Win 7 is the best combination I'v ever had :D :cool:, its still a pc inside :p

But why do you do that? You could've gotten a PC for much MUCH less with similar specs, if not better. All you're paying for is the brand, the poor design/heat, and OS X.

Quality build.... I'v seen my friends Dell, HP, my sisters 2xHP and my 2xAcer... all of them **** quality, and always some problems... noisy plastik cases, crappy design... MacBook Pro on the other hand looks great, alu-case, simple clean design, thin, great battery life and powerfull in the same time... I don't like OS X, the way you shift around with windows and application sucks big time and the dock is crap too, I work much faster in windows, especially Windows 7(superbar :D)... I haven't had any heat issuse with mine yet... My sister is also going to buy a MacBook Pro 13" this month and will be using Win 7 on it, she got tired of her HP laptops :p

the battery in windows 7 is worse than it is in OSX, from what i've read.

Its really good :woot: .. maybe people should learn to dim the screen and set it to power saver mode or balanced mode :p... it doesn't automaticly dim the screen in windows like it does in OS X.....

If you're looking at the MBP rather than the Macbook, have you considered looking at real professional PC laptops instead of consumer garbage? Lenovo Thinkpad, DELL Precision, and HP Elitebook and Probook models all come to mind and are exceptional in build quality compared with DELL and HPs consumer lines which are much like the macbook.

Agreed, and if you take care of your laptop, it will last. My Compaq has been humming along for 6 years, and I've accidentally dropped it once (it was padded drop though). That thing is a 6 pound brick, and build quality is great, no flex on the chasis. Thinkpad though...not even Apple can touch them. I have a Dell Latitude E6500, and surprisingly it's built really well, and easily blazes through a day with 6-7 hours of battery with WiFi/Bluetooth on.

    • I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
