What i5 does that thing have in it? Just wondering. :P

 

(and I thought I might be overkilling if I upgrade to an M.2 250GB 850 EVO for my rig, thus giving my E4300 a 250GB 840 EVO)

i5-2540M (2.6 - 3.1GHz)

i5-2540M (2.6 - 3.1GHz)

I have:

Lenovo ThinkPad T420 (4177)

Intel i5-2520M

Nvidia NVS 4200M

The rest has pretty much been upgraded as far as it will go. I have been considering stuffing in a quad core i7 though. I would need to find one that doesnt cost a fortune.

Guh, you got a dGPU on yours. Oh well, I don't run many graphically-heavy games on it (and those I do are from 2006 or older.)

Yep custom ordered mine new. I wont have a laptop without some sort of dedicated GPU. There is also a big benefit as I also have the dock for it.

I just ordered mine used off of eBay. Had to provide my own RAM and storage, but that was no problem.

 

This SSD cost me more than the T420 itself. Worth.

Also a "Holiday Cinnamon" Yankee Candle, because it smells amazing. 

Am I the only one around here who really doesn't like pcpartpicker?
I also like Ubisoft and Origin/EA          Guess I'm just odd that way.

59/50 UCLA Bruins hat.

 

I buy college hats based on academic prestige, instead of athletic achievement. 

 

Also picked up some games in the Square Enix sale that should be in either tomorrow or thursday.

Nothing cause... you know... college. 

Does not having a second parenthesis around something bother anyone else as much as it does me? (Like if this statement was missing a second side)

it's illegal to ride a bike here without helmet, shoulder, elbow, back, knee and ankle protectors that are certified by EU

so i had to buy it if i wanna ride  :D
