OK so I'm not sure how Lenovo's are. I've heard lots of good things about their quality, but I've had a couple friends who have problems with them. I also have heard their customer support is awful. How about ASUS? How is their build quality? How is their customer support?

• Country of purchase: Canada

• Budget range: < $1500, but I hope I can get one for maybe $1100 or so (before tax/shipping)

• Purpose: I have a desktop, so this will be mainly for use during school. I don't need to play games on it, but I would like it to be decently fast. Maybe like 4 GB of RAM, core i5, and so forth. I would like it to be fairly portable and with good battery life (5+ hours).

Hey guys, So I have some interviews coming up, also planning to teach some stuff this summer.

How do you deal with talking too much and getting a hoarse voice and having it hurt to talk? This seems to occur fairly quickly for me, even after a day or night of hanging out with friends.

Any tips to prevent this or ways to help stop it once it's occurred?

Hey guys,

So I've tried googling for this but I'm not really getting useful results. It's not really a painting as I said in my question, it's actually a whiteboard, but it's the same principle.

The whiteboard is 2 feet x 3 feet in size, and maybe 1 inch depth. I want to prop it on a table since I don't have a wall to use. I'm not really sure how to keep it up on a table or box like that.

I tried putting cardboard on the back of the whiteboard and the table surface to secure them but it does not feel sturdy at all. Should I put a larger piece of cardboard from like the middle/top of the whiteboard as a stand? Or is there something else I can do?

Hey guys,

Not entirely sure if this is the ideal subreddit for this but a few others I've looked at don't have that many subscribers and this is still related to motivation.

So, obviously this subreddit is about motivation, often towards performing tasks that may not be entirely desirable, even if the end products are (e.g., working out, studying, doing your job).

I feel that this is intertwined with both discipline and, for studying or performing non-physical work, mental focus. You can't expect to always be motivated to work out or wake up on time - this is where discipline kicks in. You can't be motivated to study boring things, especially not for a long period of time - this is wher

Hey guys,

So I've got Skyrim and I've been playing it a fair bit so far and it's pretty awesome.

However, seeing as how this is my first Elder Scrolls game, I had a few questions maybe you guys could answer that I can't really find on FAQs yet.

Cooking - can I completely ignore that aspect of the game? I see so many bowls, baskets, cups, etc, that I can take/steal, but ultimately are they pretty useless if I don't feel like cooking?

Sleep - what does being rested/well rested do?

Books - if I don't want to read the crapload of books I see can I ignore them? I realize that some give you +1 so it's worth it to open, but I don't need to steal most of them if I don't plan to keep them in

I feel like my current style of life is great for learning to multitask, but right now I feel like I'm going crazy due to too much stimuli. I have Facebook, forums, Reddit, email, my phone, instant messaging, games, music, videos at any point in time available to me.

I just want to be able to remove all my distractions (I could use tips for that) but more importantly, I'm asking for advice on how to not require distractions. I could block FB on my computer and put my phone away, but it is an impulse for me to check websites such as email/G+/FB every couple minutes while studying/working. Literally, even if I disconnect my internet, I will load it up and check Facebook every 45 seconds, e

Hey guys, simple question here. The first time you visited Reddit, what did you think? I'll start:

I came when Digg imploded (v 4.0 was released). I had heard of the site before but I never actually used it until that point. I found it strange that so many comments were on the top page (after Digg v4.0 came out, the front page would only have like, 50-100 comments on articles). Also I was shocked at the number of self-posts (things like AskReddit and other non-articles/videos). In fact I didn't even start frequenting Reddit until a significant time later because I didn't really like the layout. I'm not sure what made me end up using it so often, its probable that Reddit's addictive q

So, I'm studying right now, however I don't have classes. Therefore I have no real "incentive" to wake up because I have no punishment if I oversleep. This is relevant because on days where I have to get up, my body will wake up fine. I'm never worried about oversleeping for exams and the like.

On the other hand, I sleep at 3am most days, and cannot remain awake before like 1pm. I might have an alarm for 11am, wake up, turn off my alarm, and my eyes will not open. Like they either hurt so much or just won't respond to me, and I'll just fall back asleep into bed. Often the alarm will go off for 1-2 hrs at a time.

I don't have a huge problem with falling and staying sleeping, so I don'

Hey guys, on the Columbus survival guide, the 'schedule' just says "pool play" from 2pm to 10pm. This is the first MLG I'm watching, so I was wondering whether we know which stream is playing which games and at approximately what times? I'm more interested in the zerg matches (Losira, IdrA, etc), and as it stands it seems like I'd have to have both streams on all day and keep checking them to see when they have their matches. I'd like to know if someone has a link or whether they will update at 2pm to explain which matches are going on when.

Thanks.

Hey guys, I'm like high plat low diamond (don't play too much ladder 1v1, mostly against my friends for practice/fun in customs).

I'm not really inclined to post a replay, because I do a lot of things wrong (pretty rusty still), but the problem is I lose even when my friend/opponent does a lot of things wrong as well.

If someone goes forge first outside his natural (e.g., on shattered temple) and walls off with gateways, cyber core, forge, and does a fast expo, how should I play it? He told me his collosus come out at about 12 minutes or so doing that build, so should I aim for some sort of massive roach ling pressure at 11 minutes and try to win the game before that point? If so, what's
