The reason I didn't post in laptop section is because i wanted to start a conversation more about presents/gifts for things such as Christmas and not just laptops.

He gave them the "Area-51 m15x" which are the first laptops with a GTX8800m, which is the first laptop GPU with "CUDA" support.

its a pretty old video but i think its so wholesome because i want to start a gaming laptop charity.

Those laptops are laughably big. Technology has come a long way.

People look at me weird if I give them a gift. They are like, "what's wrong with it?"

So, do you tell them? Or let them find out for themselves?

When I was a kid I wanted a Alienware laptop more than anything.

I remember when the exact laptop the daughters were unboxing (Area-51 m15x) came out, it was the first laptop with a CUDA compatible GPU and it costed $1500 in 2008 which was waaaaay to much for me to buy.

What did you guys want?

You know, in like 500 years, archaeologists are going to find the digital history of this forum and form the history of this period based on our posts.

It'll be Legendary.

Some well known historian from the future: people in the early 21st century had a strange fascination with the year 1994. We may never know why.
