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.

    As you all know, NBR currently has a Amazing Content Contest going on, with a chance for all voters to win a gift card!

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/roundup/641438-nbr-amazing-content-contest.html

    I'm advertising for the Folding@Home NBR Team, which is basically home computing for folding proteins and sending information back for research at Stanford Med. I joined the team thinking that my powerhouses can be put to a good use when I'm not using it, and it has served me great so far.

    We noticed that the toughbook forum rallied the members to participate in the poll, but I still feel that the Folding team could use your help!

    If you could help us and vote for the Amazing Content for both the folding team and for you, I can't do much but I will rep you ;) My measly rep won't be of much help but it would be great if anyone interested in Folding@Home or appreciating what the team is doing representing NBR, we could use your vote!

    In case you are interested in Folding, this is the thread:

    Thanks! (And if you don't feel like posting here, shoot me a PM and I can rep you from there!)

    I was quite surprised to see the toughbook thread in high ranks...even the eGPU thread i mean what does that say about Notebookreview...nothing?

    I think seeing the Folding@Home thread winning would be a statement that we are more than geeks, gamers and benchers and actually use our equipment to do good in this world! :)

    Thanks Prema, mostly Alienwares are folding,

    but Sager/Clevo folk also have the raw power that could be put to very good use.

    Common, guys! When we don't game, we could use resources for a good cause and represent the NBR forums! :D

    Very nice contest. All of the nominees are great threads. But I hope the Folding Team wins; you guys seem to do very interesting work with your systems. Folding have never really crossed my mind in the pc world, but it does sound interesting. I voted for the Folding Team btw :) and it seems to be in 2nd place. Only a bit further.

    Definitely look into folding, it is a good use for our powerhouses to help people.
