cinci zoo sniper posted:their home brand laptop is not meant for schools, its maybe for richer college students to bite some of that macbook pie with similar package. if you want to see school game, check like previous post - all the oems like acer asus msi and whatnot will just print sub-$300 laptops ad nauseum if they sell i guarantee that, unless those are subsidized prices, they will be absolute garbage. you don't build a profitable $300 laptop with an intel chip unless you massively cut corners everywhere else.

The laptop typically sells for $329 or more with full Windows 10, but it’s on sale right now for $299, so it’s not clear how great a deal this Windows 10 S model is going to be.

I think most Chromebooks are right around 2 bills and the fancier ones are the ones that are around 3

The mind boggles.

presumably because anything running win 10 s is upgradable to win 10 pro, which will not be happy on 16gb flash Chris Knight posted:I get that in excel all the time. doing nothing but copying data from one sheet to another or single cells with urls into ie, excel will complain that "the clipboard is in use by another program" this broke hilariously for one of my clients that used excel/linked workbooks/vba scripting to scrape data from the web. turns out unless you manually open each workbook through the file->open dialog in a single excel window, it becomes impossible to paste into any but the most recent window, and switching between them will clear the clipboard or fill it with blank characters with the exact length of the copied data (excel 2016 on win 10) as far as i can tell it's some ridiculous holdover form the day where workbooks were all modal windows within a single excel window (e.g. excel 2010 and earlier)

Wheany posted:well my first impression is that it sounds like a good normal laptop with a harmless, if tasteless, gimmick (the carpet) In an effort to make the surface around the keyboard more pleasing to the eye and touch, designers used Alcantara, a synthetic microfiber that’s more durable than the suede it mimics. The team brought in dozens of giant rolls of fabric and spent six months choosing colors, from a dark burgundy to a platinum hue. Microsoft already uses Alcantara in the covers of its tablets, but that didn’t stop the team from taking a field trip to a BMW dealership to see how the material worked as upholstery. Microsoft chose Alcantara, Panay said, because “it gets rid of that cold, sterile feeling.”
