A 1TB HDD is fine, especially considering I have a 1TB external hard drive to go with it. Second, that would void the warranty. This computer isn't a toy. It's for business, first and foremost.

If this thread was "Count to a Billion" how many users do you guys think would actually try to count?

It will be fine for you, hardware wise. But, I've heard HP is notorious for CPU thermal throttling thanks to loud and insufficient cooling in their laptops, so not sure about them.

For $679 after a discount code, $220 less than the HP, you get similar, if not better in the GPU side, specs as the HP has.

Filly, I've had HPs my whole life. I can't really complain about them because the only real issue I had with them was a self-caused issue (tripped over my cat and dropped it). I was asking about the specs, anyway.

Hm. Can't say that I've ever heard of a hard drive swap voiding the warranty on a laptop unless there are ways they try to keep you from getting in. For example, my laptop had a screw at the center that was a T7 head. Thus, getting inside the laptop voided the warranty. Not like I care about that so much because I've just about entirely torn the whole thing down before. Plus I bought it used and it's about 3 years old anyway so there is no warranty on that thing anyway. But on my old laptop (it was an HP), getting to the RAM slots was a matter of removing the battery and two philips head screws (I upgraded it from 4 GB to 8 GB). The hard drive cover was held on by a third. Crap, there were even little symbols on the covers that specified what was under those covers. It was almost begging me to open it up

 

But anyway, I understand if you don't want to open it just to be on the safe side. And who knows? They're building things (everything) more and more so that you can't get in there and work on it yourself. They're making cars much harder to work on. Hell, from what I hear, a spare tire isn't even standard anymore. If you buy a car with standard equipment, you don't get a spare. It's an add-on. The standard package generally includes a DC air compressor and a can of Fix-A-Flat. Wtf? If I have a blowout, I want the assurance that I have a fifth tire I can swap onto my car in a matter of a few minutes. Point is you may not be able to get into these things so easily anymore. I understand the loss prevention side of it that they don't want people opening their things, but there will always be tinkerers like me who want to open things and learn how they work lol

 

For me, it's just that I can't recommend an SSD enough in a laptop. But I'm rough with laptops. As in, I take them lots of places and they get hucked around a lot. Maybe you're not so rough and tumble with yours.

I've seen a few cars like that. I'd rather pay the extra $400 for a spare.

 

I don't see the point in putting an SSD in, plus, this computer is literally going to drain my bank account.

Are you talking about my remaining number below the number that I am counting?

I wrote a small program that increments the counting up by one every time I press enter and copies it to the clipboard, so I can then paste it in. It saves typing time.

I can actually attest to this. My first laptop was an HP from 2009. It was actually a tough little laptop. It just had a broken hard disk. I actually put a new one in there and ran Ubuntu for a while. The CPU (even after putting a new dab of thermal paste on there) still ran around 70°C at idle. I think part of it was trying to run Skyrim on a system that only had 50 MB of dedicated graphics memory and having the CPU hit 95°C from time to time. Yes. That actually did happen. 

 

But on the flip side of that, the fans were pretty quiet though they were always spun up pretty high. They were even quieter than my Toshiba that I have now. Not that Toshiba has outstanding quality themselves. But this is how loud it is: My desktop with 6 big ass fans runs quieter than my laptop. And my laptop doesn't spin the fan up very high often. Granted, 4 of my fans are Noctuas and the two on the GPU are only running at 18% at idle...but still. 6 fans should not be quieter than a single fan. 

 

I'm probably not gonna get a laptop, though. I'll probably end up in the tablet market once I get a new portable PC.

SSD's are far less prone to shock damage. And if you're taking your laptop a lot of places, you run an elevated risk of shock damage. But I understand that an SSD is a luxury that not everybody can afford. Being in college sucks. Paying for college sucks. 

 

The more I think about it, college just sucked altogether....
