    Right around this time I bought my first new laptop. I wanted to game, I wanted a desktop replacement, and I wanted it to still be portable!

    Fast forward to my new addiction to World of Tanks and it's starting to bug me only being able to play on High settings with no AA....Thinking about the
    Sager NP8265 here in the next year or two ;)

    My little N and I have been threw a lot, from Vista with tears to many summers with our bud XP. We even experimented with dare I say it...Linux in our younger days. After we came clean (life/DirectX) really hitting us in the face we found that lucky number...That number 7. Around that time our dear old friend Sir PS3 was running out of space (60gb hell yea) and threw major surgery and almost 2 hours of recovery Sir ps3 was rocking 320gb 7.2k. My little N you ask? Well that Chocolate little devil got a Seagate momentus XT...crazy fool he is. Soon there after he developed a cough and started to loose weight rapidly. His tummy had gotten the aids, why soon it wasn't more then 5 min after he was off life support he would just die right in my arms. I was so scared and trembling I ran to the Doc! Hey Doc Ebay you gotta help him! Well, Doc said ok but you gotta paypal. $50 dollars later that little N was bouncing off the walls non stop for 3HR at a time. I think he went so long he got him self sick again all over. This time why his body temp would get so high He would have to set down in front of the fan and cool off. N I said! This has happened before, now lets flush you out and thermo you up! And you know what? he was right as rain again.
