Looking for a new computer for grandma or grandpa? Try the Asus N71Jq-X1!
Take a look here. at a presentation.
There are some issues with specification discrepancies as some people have reported getting faster than advertised RAM, non-bluray, etc. Nonetheless, it is still a speedy little laptop.

In recent news in the headphone world, Ludacris decided to introduce some new headphones, known as the Soul. Aesthetically, they appear very similar to the Beats by Dr. Dre (as a head-fier, I highly disapprove of the Beats. Try an Ultrasone Pro series/HFi series or Pioneer HDJ2000 if you want bass both are cheaper by far and built far better, the HDJ being magnesium). What Ludacris claims is that these headphones offer the studio quality, flat frequency response you'll find in headphones such as the Audio Technica ATH-M50, the AKG K702, Sennheiser HD-650,and other such studio monitors. I may demo these in the future once I acquire a proper DAC/amp, but until then, I'm opposed to say these will most likely be a rehashed version of beats with the same bloated bass, recessed mids, and piercing headache inducing highs. Oh, and a lack of sound stage. If they do maintain the advertised quality of sound, many people may have just found their outside "style" headphones.

A badly made online assessment of computer knowledge...
1) Sure, the test did evaluate the knowledge I had. Very poorly thought out though on the part of whoever wrote it. Correct answers are sometimes marked incorrect anyways. Better HTML knowledge and a bit of refreshing on how scripts work would help.
2)One too many to list. Theoretically, nearly all of my answers should have been correct, but some were simply marked wrong for being right. Feel free to tell me otherwise.
3)Paperless. That is all.
4) Room for error during test creation, i.e. bad scripts.
5)A simple test on paper would do far better. A human is far more efficient at processing test results. The EMACS Doctor would do a better job.
6)No. That is all.
7)No. They're usually poorly made.
Again, this is a terrible test.
