We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Trust my rage

Other people love pocket frogs?

(I was playing nonstop last month but then sort of ran out of steam. But it's totally my time filler app,)

I've already found two new frogs. (I hadn't finished the froggydex - I'm on Ornatus.)

Wow! I'm embarrasse to say how much I want a chroma frog. I'm on level 14 but only 10% on the froggydex.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

shoot me an email and I'll tell you my game center id. I am happy to send you a chroma frog.

If you want to attempt to make one, it is not that difficult: [link]

try royal aurum stellata & golden picea anura. 1/8 chance of getting a chroma.

So, I hope to be able to get a new laptop. Not a MAC. but reliable, with a decent quality webcam and microphone. Fast (not uber, but good), decent memory and processor, excellent screen graphics, not a lot of need to buy bells & whistles. I don't game on it, but I watch Netflix sometimes and make videos for my business.

I'm hoping to be able to save $500-$700, buy in early to mid spring.

I am collating suggestions. My current laptop is giving up the ghost in bits and pieces, and it's my livelihood.

No, we don't have a credit card.

Any thoughts appreciated!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Strix, there is a Micro Center near you and they often have good deals, including refurbs, on a variety of brands. Worth checking out from time to time.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My current Toshiba was around $700 and meets those requirements. I can't speak for the microphone and webcam, though.

Hey. New board.

I am a fan of Lenovo laptops - the Thinkpad and Essentials series particularly. They're not the prettiest laptops in the world, especially at the lower range of prices, but they are pretty reliable in my experience. I've had good luck with the webcam and microphone in mine. I've never used them for video editing, but spec wise they should be as good as anything else in the price range. We use them at our school, as they have good durability.

The Ideapad line is much prettier, but I can't speak to its durability or anything really.
