Yeah thats the one I'm leaning towards. Either way unibody laptops ftw. No more cheap plastic laptops for me...

I installed parallels 8 yesterday but it was taking up way to much memory and making my computer lag. So I decided to just go with bootcamp until I upgrade my memory and get an SSD.
Also Windows 8 is a step backwards compared to W7, it looks nice but unless you have a touchscreen monitor I find it alot more troublesome to use than anything

I was seriously considering flashing a custom rom just because I couldn't toggle wifi/bluetooth/etc with one press. Fucking annoying having to go into settings AND THEN turn something on/off anyway, I started to customize my shit yesterday but I think I've come to the conclusion that I don't like any of those gimmicky themes anymore. Gonna go for something simple w/ Nova Launcher |

The improved task manager alone >>>>>>>>> Windows 8 is also far more snappy. Metro is aesthetically pleasing. My laptop isn't a touchscreen but fuck it I don't want a touchscreen laptop anyway. Fuck having to wipe that shit off like I do my phone. |

Damn at Parallels 8 taking up too much memory. I have zero issues like that at all
As far as Windows 8 vs 7, I went with 7 since I have a free copy and know it runs FBB and OOTP. Not sure how 8 does with those

I never got around to installing my SSD. Somehow after successfully removing 2 screws I stripped the head of the 3rd one (Idiot I know). I kept going at it because it didn't make sense that I was just able to take the others out yet struggle with the last one. Well that just made things worse and finally just threw damn near anything that I had at it out of frustration (I know I know super idiot) now shit is completely mangled and I'm pretty confident I cannot get this piece off without breaking it  That's what I get for being a head case. Also doesn't help that laptop makers use the cheapest, smallest screws ever. I barely applied any force when I stripped the head of that last screw. |

Damn that sucks. Did you make any progress at all? Any room for baby pliers to get it?

Nah unfortunately I don't think I ever got the screw to budge even a little. Not sure about baby pliers. I'm just gonna have to get someone to look at it.. I've been lazy about it
