The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    think I can run it at minimum specs? well, only one way to find out!

    EDIT: It's free, but you have to pay for Gametap's service. :(

    Gametap is refusing to allow us to download it. it explicitly says that it's because we're using 64-bit operating systems.

    if anyone knows of a workaround, please share.
