ROTFLMAO!
Brian, I've been reading you since you "said" you were a Captain
in the Air Force. Don't care where! It's all good!
But, a while back............... :)
Thank you for your service!
In today's world, your service is truly appreciated here in GA.
I look forward to trying to comprehend your graduate thesis.

Hehe - I've been a space cadet for a number of years now. It's my day job

And thanks, although I'm not there yet. As I told my parents, I've got 72
credit hours of course work, two sets of comprehensive exams, and
writing/defending a dissertation yet to go. So check back in 4 years.

Note to Jim: Please update the List Member Log. We now have a "Space
Cadet" in training!!!
Nice buy Brian. I wish you well in your future studies. It may be really
tough to refer to you in
the future as "Dr. B", but so be it. I will get used to it.............. :)
Congrats!

I'm going to be a full-time PhD student for the next few years on top of
my
day job and traveling, so this laptop will likely be my primary machine.
Therefore I went as maxed out as possible for power that I could get in
an
ultraportable format.
Full stats:
Processor Intel Core i7-2620M Processor (2.7GHz, 4MB L3, 1333MHz FSB)
USB
3.0
Operating system Genuine Windows 7 Professional 64
Display type 12.5" Premium HD (1366x768) LED Backlit Display, Mobile
Broadband Ready, 2x2 Antenna
Total memory 8 GB PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz SODIMM Memory (2 DIMM)
Fingerprint Reader Fingerprint Reader
Camera 720p HD Camera
Hard drive Intel 160 GB Solid State Drive, Serial ATA
Battery ThinkPad Battery 29++ (9 cell)
Bluetooth Bluetooth 3.0
Integrated WiFi wireless LAN
Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250
The i7 CUP was not that much more expensive, and as an added bonus you
get a
USB 3.0 port. The i3 and i5 chips only support USB 2.0 ports. I also
sprung the extra $$ for the 160 GB Intel X-25M SSD as opposed to the
generic 120 GB SSD.

I'm ordering a new Lenovo x200 for my work laptop and am debating over
whether to go with the Core i5 or i7 CPU. The variables are
performance,
cost, and power consumption. I've seen some roundups of the various
desktop
Sandy Bridge CPUs, but does anyone have a link to roundups of the
mobile
chips?
