Adam: Oh, it does have an internal DPI setting. That just changes the size of the toolbar and icons at the top. It will not resize the pages Themselves.
Not all applications respond to DPI setting. Firefox noticeably did not include this for some reason.
I have a HP mini-note 2133 and have had problems with apps not responding to the DPI setting. It really bugs me because everything else looks so sharp and clean. I can see myself having the same problem with this laptop.
Actully, thats a gross exaggeration. There are some simple techniques that solve that problem.
Here, let wiki explain it to you..
"flash memory has a finite number of erase-write cycles (most commercially available flash products are guaranteed to withstand 100,000 write-erase-cycles for block 0, and no guarantees for other blocks). This effect is partially offset by some chip firmware or file system drivers by counting the writes and dynamically remapping the blocks in order to spread the write operations between the sectors; this technique is called wear levelling. Another mechanism is to perform write verification and remapping to spare sectors in case of write failure, which is named bad block management (BBM). With these mechanisms in place, some industry analysts[1] have calculated that flash memory can be written to at full speed continuously for 51 years before exceeding its write endurance"
I'll be grateful if i win anything, so i take whatever the other guys who win don't want (assuming i win at all).
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
