Got a Dell Latitude D620 for 25 dollars at local thrift store.
To this laptop i've added
>spare 320 gb hard-drive from previous laptop
>4 gb ddr2 memory ($20)
>Newer battery ($20)
>Core 2 Duo T7600 2.33 Ghz ($20)
>Windows 7 Ultimate (free)
I did it /g/ I built a meme machine for <$100

Nice. I have a D830 I still use at work. The D series have IMO the best laptop keyboards Dell ever built.
I have a dell d420. I can't see why anyone would choose this over a thinkpad. The keyboard feels okay at best, layout is unusable, and the trackpoint is garbage. The only redeeming factor is its good build quality
Great! Now tear out everything that isn't soldered in, stick that and all that shit you just listed in a series fancy-looking aluminum/tin cases, and sell it at a 5-10x markup so you can trash that shit and buy something decent.

Literally nothing is stopping you from implementing your own shitty vista-looking graphic user interface on everything.
Why are technical users of computers so out of touch with what normal people want?
Why do they try to force their autism on other people?
We get it, certain tools and philosophies work for you, now get the fuck off my lawn.
"Get the fuck out of my lawn"
YOU're in OUR lawn. Fuck off, kid.
>>57361551
Because when the normies fuck up, we end up having to face it or deal with it in some way.
>>57361551
That's entirely dependent on what topic you are discussing. For example, regarding security, why would anyone technical minded consider the wants of a normal person. A majority of normal people are very stupid in regards to security.
How do I grow out of video games so I can use Linux as my main OS?
>>57361531
Anon just realize that there hasn't been a good video game in 10 years and that industry is dead because there hasn't been innovation in 15.
>>57361531
stop playing
Try running the games that you already play in wine

Seems like the standard for pentesters everywhere.
Prove me wrong.
you can install of the software that comes with it on any distro
It's not an issue of the distro itself, it's installing the distro on your hard drive that is pointless and laughable.
>>57361529
Some of the software requires kernel patches that you wouldn't want on your main install.

What is the be 2k 144hz monitor on the market right now? Also is ips a meme
>>57360400
Anything below 99% sRGB IPS is meme
Then again you need to watch out backlight bleed as well. Its kinda a lottery.
Either the ASUS PG278Q or ASUS PG279Q
>>57360400
>is ips a meme
no

Most of the people who use LaTeX are people in academia who need to write 100+ page dissertations with a fuckton of equations and symbols.
The autistic reason to use LaTeX is vim is more lightweight than any office suite.
>>57360222
well everything has it's learning curve and when it comes to equations nothing beats Latex. Just use what you know and are comfortable with, why bother relearning everything?
graphical document tools become terribly slow at 50+ pages
