    this is kinda a random pointless thread but GEEZ I am done with this PBL21.

    I don't understand whats wrong with it, it just keeps freezing for upwards of 8 seconds on tumblr... i use tumblr with xkit so its a bit stressful but seriously?

    Back on my sony VPC z1 with i7-620m (vs i5-2450m) and its running perfectly smooth, same software configuration AFAIK

    both have 8gb RAM, the PBL21 has a 64gb pm800 vs stock 256gb SSD but like. the pm800 is definitely faster to start up?? so i don't understand???

    i dont even want to talk about the sound card, the DPC latency, the fact that the CPU actually seems to be slower and the screen not being nearly as good... getting rid of this thing ASAP!!
