I can't honestly tell which is the most beautiful, the Carrack, 600i or Polaris. They all rock.

Good guy, bad guy. . .who cares? I hope there's pudding.

I'm planning to move to the Space Coast very soon, and planning to do Disney on the weekends so will be happy to meet up with any Testies who come through. I am actually hoping to cut my hours back from 70/week to 45/week once I move. Might even get that gaming machine I had planned as well...

Woosh! So this has HDMI 2 out. How many external monitors could you add with this and can you put a different display on them than on the laptop itself? If you were gaming in a chair, with a HOTAS, and had the laptop on a table in front of you, could you put one view on the 17" laptop display...

Oh. . .no. . .regal pun alert. How did this never occur to me? What are we and what have we become? A rose by any other name and all that, but did we sign up for this indignity?

I am not a Drake guy. I get the appeal, but the Vanguards will kill any Drake product pretty quickly. Looks like even the Bucky can't take a hit, and the Cutty maneuvers way too slowly to be dangerous, IMHO. The Vanguards rotate slowly compared to a dogfighter, but the Cutties are way slower...

Thanks for that, but its not for me. Its for my partner who will be running COMSOL on it. A laptop for that costs significantly more than a workstation, and you don't get the nice sized monitor, but it will enable him to work in his off hours and I am all for that. Basically just needs lots...

I will never look at Lancers the same again.

I still don't know what to make of the Defender. I think it is supposed to be a real option for long range escort--that's what it is designed for. But IIRC, it has lots of little guns which means no range on your weapons. You have to engage up close which is definitely a dogfighter's forte'...

For a long range escort, you need a long range fighter. None of these are actual dogfighters, so as marcsand2 notes, you need a plan for when things go badly wrong. Personally I think the guns on the Vanguard are about the best you'll find for a sniping machine. It carries the only S5 gun...

My BabyDoll likes the stripes. I dunno. . .Makes it feel like a 100i. What do you think, do the stripes ruin the classic lines?

That is pretty cool. I like that. The more situational awareness the better.

. . .and you came to look for it anyway. Post a note and tell others how lowly you are.

I thought we all joined because there is beer.

I'll drink to that. ::hick::

I'm curious how many people actually use wireless, backlighted keyboards. Lighting seems to me would be extremely useful. View: https://youtu.be/2CnFVStMXug

If you love the whole "people on a ship" space opera like Firefly, I can also recommend StarHunter, StarHunter 2300, and Dark Matter. Looking forward to what they did with Irwin Allen's best. His Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was good in its time, as was Land of the Giants.

So I had a conversation with a guy at work today about using a laptop for COMSOL, which I had thought was impossible, but he does it all the time. I check a few links and suddenly Mark Zuckerberg has delivered to me this: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/unplug-and-play Creepy Bastard, that...
