Best laptops for engineers: When work requires a real workstation
- By David Cardinal on January 27, 2014 at 3:15 pm

Along with gamers, engineers pose one of the toughest design challenges for laptop makers. Engineering applications crave memory, graphics horsepower, and large screens — all hurdles in designing stylish, lightweight laptops. The result is a necessary tradeoff between performance and convenience. While not every engineer will make the same compromises, there are a few laptops that stand out for use by engineers, depending on their specific needs.
So what is the best laptop for an engineer? Here are a few great options, one of which will get the job done for you.
Lenovo ThinkPad W540
For those used to lugging a typical portable workstation "brick" the new Lenovo ThinkPad W540 may be a breath of fresh air. While not lightweight compared to a business laptop, at just under 5.5 pounds and just over an inch thick, it is not much larger than a MacBook Pro. Under the hood it can be configured with a variety of 4th generation (Haswell) Core i7 processors — ranging up to the 4930MX capable of 3GHz (3.9GHz Turbo). It can also be stuffed full with up to 32GB of RAM and a 2880×1620 high resolution display. As befits a laptop designed for heavy-duty graphics, it features an Nvidia Quadro K1100 or K2100 discrete GPU.
Oddly for a Windows machine, the W540 doesn't offer an HDMI or Displayport video output, opting instead for VGA and Thunderbolt ports. That may be a turnoff for those who don't want to invest the extra time and effort in Thunderbolt peripherals. However, for those who need the ultimate in expansion capability, and want Thunderbolt's high-speed 10Gbps transfer rate, it may be just the thing. For everyone else, fortunately, the W540 offers plenty of USB ports (2x USB3.0 and 2x USB 2.0). Automatic switching between integrated and discrete graphics helps the W540 claim a more-than-respectable 6+ hours of battery life (users are reporting around five hours).
As befits a ThinkPad, it comes with Intel's vPro and a fingerprint reader. The system ships with Windows 7 Pro, so for Windows 8 haters, there's no need to fret. However, if you want the latest version of Windows you'll need to upgrade it on your own. W540 pricing starts at $1600 for an entry-level model with a 2.4GHz (3.4GHz Turbo) i7-4700MQ CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive.
HP ZBook 15 and 17 Mobile Workstations
Having made its reputation selling to engineers, HP is a natural when it comes to shopping for a portable workstation-class laptop. If accurate color and rugged construction are high on your list of requirements, the HP ZBook 15 with 15-inch display (or the larger and heavier 17-inch version the ZBook 17) will fit the bill. The tradeoff is a slightly heavier and larger machine (6.2 pounds for the 15-inch version) than the similar ThinkPad W540, even though specs are similar. The ZBooks also don't offer the ultra-high-resolution display of the ThinkPad W540, but their 1080p displays are top notch and feature HP's DreamColor technology.
Thunderbolt is also a feature on these models, allowing the connection of up to four displays. Unlike the ThinkPad, it also has a Displayport in addition to a VGA port. It also includes vPro and a fingerprint reader, along with a docking station connector on its underside. CPU options range up to the Core i7-4900MQ, clocked at up to 2.8GHz (3.8GHz Turbo), and it can be ordered with either Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8 Pro. Reviewers loved almost everything about the machine, except for its sub-four-hour battery life. The HP ZBook 15 is priced starting at $1650.
Dell Precision M3800 or XPS 15 Touch
While Dell's flagship Precision M4800 goes head to head with beefy models like the ThinkPad W540 and ZBook 15, I'm focusing here on the new, lighter Precision M3800. The M3800 promises workstation power in a svelte 0.71-inch, 4.15-pound package. It has many of the newest bells and whistles, including an option for a QHD+ display, fourth-generation Core i7, Nvidia Quadro discrete graphics, and an mSATA slot to go along with its spinning hard drive.
Gorilla Glass covers the multi-touch screen — it's still a bit of a novelty in the mobile workstation category, but valuable if you order the machine with Windows 8.1 pre-installed. The option for dual SSDs allows for maximum performance if you put them in a RAID0 configuration or allocate your swap and temp drives carefully. Like the other machines we've looked at here, Nvidia's Optimus technology provides automatic switching between integrated and the discrete Quadro graphics. The M3800 is priced starting at around $2000 . For those who don't need the Quadro graphics and dual drives, the new Haswell-equipped Dell XPS 15 has almost identical specs otherwise.

those are neat laptops but at that price it just seems more logical to
buy a separated desktop for computing power and a cheaper laptop.
above 900€ the price/performance just seems to crash except maybe the sager one.
It's not more logical if you need the more powerful computer on the road with you; which was the whole point of this article.
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Yep. I was tinkering with the idea of writing about options for having a high-performance desktop and then using screen sharing, but that has its own problems and of course is only useful if you have a pretty solid pipe between them. Might still make for an interesting article at some point.
my Aunty Julia got silver Volkswagen Beetle Convertible by working
parttime off of a home computer… Look At This Buzz32.ℂom
It appears workable, simply carry a mobile network wifi hotspot and reduce graphic display to minimum usable level. I'm using X2go in Linux for this via LAN, started experimenting with remote-control via the hotspot recently, looks good so far. Not so good without one, non-http ports are frequently blocked on public wifi networks
a personal cloud than? where you remote control your desktop from somewhere else where you have internet.
i understand that you like this powerful hardware but really imagine what an desktop at that price could do.
it would be a lot better if laptops got modular and standerised this would greatly reduce the cost. you can get an m-atx bourd for 50€ or less, imagine if the laptop motherboard and size got standardized than we could probably buy these kind of laptops for 1250€ instead of 2000€ .
it would be even less if you just upgraded which is the largest advantage of desktops over all mobile computers.
I used to see a lot of Panasonic Toughbooks around construction sites. Are they not making the grade anymore?
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Toughbooks are definitely alive and well. If you need super-rugged, they are still an option. However, if you don't, then you wind up with essentially an older-design machine at a modern price. Good point, though, if we were evaluating which laptops Engineers would want if they were going to spend months on site in a harsh environment with little chance for getting a machine serviced, there would have been a number of other candidates, including the Toughbooks.
http://geek.com/ sal cangeloso
The Toughbooks are very tough and very reliable, but more focused on ruggedness than power. Most mobile workstations (ThinkPad, EliteBook, etc) have the "tough-enough mentality" so they hit some mil-spec tests but don't go into the specialized territory that you'd need for construction site use, police work, etc. Might be worth considering for the next rev though!
Ivor O'Connor
Bad article. There should be a few categories that are always addressed. And some that should never be discussed.
The metrics that are important are:
1) Displayport adapters are a must. No other adapters matter.
2) Screen resolution is important and should always be included.
3) Battery life.
4) How many 2560×1660 monitors can be driven? (Three hopefully.)
5) Can linux and bsd be run? (Seriously what engineer uses windows?)
6) Amount of RAM supported.
Metrics not important:
1) Weight.
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Thanks for sharing your opinion of what matters to you in a laptop. You can understand that not all engineers have exactly the same priorities, I hope. There are a huge number of potentially important specs (the ones you mentioned, including weight, plus color gamut, OS version, touch capability, variety of ports, etc.) and no way we can mention them all in a roundup. The goal of a roundup is to provide a flavor of what's out there and let people head to the spec pages of specific models to learn more.
Ivor O'Connor
Well you could be consistent then on what you do mention. That is if you mention one laptop has A, B, and C then be sure to mention whether all the other laptops have those features.
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
That's definitely one approach, although the other way to think of it is to mention what stands out about each one — either things that it has that competitors lack, or things it is missing that competitors have. Just giving a sheet of the same 6 specs for each machine doesn't really highlight their different character.
Ivor O'Connor
A checkoff list does allow potential buyers to quickly determine if the laptop is actually usable. Personality on top of usability is probably the type of story you want to write.
Not offending the vendors is the difficult part though. I know if I were given the task of reviewing these laptops I would probably be fired for harshness. They are certainly not the best laptops for engineers!
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Ivor — Checklist is a good thought. As to harshness, that's not an issue. First, in this case the task was not to review specific laptops, it was for me to pick some of the _very best_ I could find for Engineers. I spent quite a bit of time at CES talking to many vendors about their offerings (although often they knew less about the specs of their own products than would have been ideal), and then picked out some of the best I saw there plus others that I've seen elsewhere or been able to read enough about. We at ET do not get pushed to review any products in a specific way, and are happy to say what we think, FWIW. In this case, though, the dozens of machines I rejected for the article were at the bottom of the heap, and I only picked ones that had something interesting or special or overall value that made them worth considering.
Ivor O'Connor
Thanks for the thorough and reasoned reply. I appreciate it.
http://geek.com/ sal cangeloso
Nice exchange guys, very thoughtful. As David noted, harshness was not an issue. These were his picks, plain and simple.
Ivan, you never mentioned your laptop pick(s). You seem to have some strong opinions, so if not these, then what is the best laptop for an engineer?
Ivor O'Connor
I'm not currently on the market for a laptop so I'm not really sure what is out there. I'd use the System76 Bonobo as my starting point and expand my search out from there. https://www.system76.com/laptops/model/bonx7
1) Has displayports
2) 1920×1080
3) Battery life is unknown.
4) Probably several 2560×1600 with the nVidia GeForce GTX 780M with 4 GB GDDR5 Memory and 1536 CUDA Cores card.
5) Can linux and bsd be run? Yes, comes with linux.
6) 32GBs of RAM are supported.
Personality wise it can hold two SSD drives and two mSATA for close to 3TBs of SSD storage.
There are bound to be other laptops like this but this is what I would be expecting to see under a title like "Best laptops for engineers: When work requires a real workstation".
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Yeah, that's a good one. Fits between the Dell Precision and the Sager (which is even more massive & has even more power, but weighs 50% more). Maybe we should do a "best portable workstation" piece, as Engineering covers a pretty broad swath (even leaving aside software engineers) from network engineers doing architecture diagrams and running diagnostics at clients up through wind tunnel modeling, etc.
http://geek.com/ sal cangeloso
Thanks, and cool system. At a quick glance looks kinda along the lines of the Dell M4800, which is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and RHEL certified, has Displayport, lots of storage options, runs pro graphics cards, supported 32GB, etc. David opted for the M3800 which is a bit lighter duty.
There is a lot more we could get into with an article like this one: ISV certs, Linux compatibility, etc, so I appreciate the feedback.
Ivor O'Connor
Probably would be good articles. I know nothing about these laptop/portable-workstations and there's probably a big segment of people out there like me.

Apparently you don't know too many engineers? Almost all the mainstream engineering applications run on Windows. In electrical and mechanical engineering, it's almost the ONLY choice. Software engineers use the OS they are targeting for or which has the best software development tools for their purpose. There are some Linux applications, but you almost always have to run Windows anyway for several specific applications you need and can't get anywhere else.
OS fanboy-ism doesn't even really make any sense anyway. The OS is basically a glorified application launcher and you spend 99% of your time in applications, not the OS.
Ivor O'Connor
Thought companies like SpaceX and Tesla used linux almost exclusively. You say they aren't? My bad.
Oded Arbel
There are some companies that standardize on Linux as the base OS. I'm not sure about the ones you mentioned, but Google has two engineering laptop builds: Thinkpad w/ Linux and MacBook Pro w/… well. And there are others.
IMO, Linux compatibility is a must for software engineers. You may not spend 100% of your time on it, but you need to be able to dual boot or use it as the hypervisor for whaterver OS runs your current application.
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Certainly for Android system-level development Linux is king. I keep a Linux machine around for just that reason.

Good post, if not for this I would've been under the impression that HP was out of the workstation laptop business as their website is so convoluted. They have different sites if you're a small business or a "Home Office" consumer looking for a "high performance" laptop. What's the difference? Now that I've found their WS laptops, it's clear that Dell is the most exciting, compelling, and value-priced production WS laptop builder. HP is hysterically overpriced; They might as well be Apple, except they could still probably run a copy of SolidWorks.
Lenovo, which I still check first out of lingering sense of loyalty to memories of IBM ThinkPad quality, is runner up. Or, in the case of Lenovo, I should say BACK IN THE RUNNING. Their W510, which we had a few floating around the office from 2010, were an insult to engineers who have taken a 10-key class (because entering numbers into Excel or CAD apps is an important part of engineering). IMO, a laptop cannot be called a "workstation" without a 10-key pad. At that time we had to purchase Lenovo, and at that price point, it was hard to justify spending thousands more on the W701 behemoth just because it had more buttons.
All that said, I think the W540 is starting to be what it's supposed to be, but it's still not as value-packed as the Dell 3800 (very thin and sleek at the cost of some performance) or 6800 (customized to the edge without an insane price tag).
Anyway, about the guy giving you a hard time with his ignorance about how all workstations are supposed to run open source OSs: Software engineers aren't really in need of mobile workstations, unless they're working on software that recreates a 3D environment (or 2D CAD files with a lot of entities).
Mobile workstations are for engineers who need the immense computing power needed to calculate the maths of physics, in order to accurately recreate the real world and all its materials, assemblies, and machinations inside of a small box.
The software suites that do this, as mentioned in the Mac portion of the article above, work mainly on Windows OS, and rather wonderfully at that.
I will say, as much as I dislike Apple products in general, their new desktop workstations that look like a cylindrical pod and cost about $5-10K are awesome, purely on a hardware specs basis. I wouldn't mind getting one of those and installing a Windows OS and getting to work.
They're also (amazingly, for Apple) a great value! I tried to shopping-cart build something with as much power and similar components for less and couldn't. I saw some chucklehead computer geek wannabes on YouTube say they were doing it for much less; They used a gaming-style GPU, which wouldn't have the expensive drivers made specifically for the smaller market (than gaming) of CAD productivity. They used a non-Xeon CPU that may have had similar GHz, but not the same stability of ECC memory modules. Error correcting memory is very important to minimize crashing for productivity involving so much floating point math.
They clearly did not understand much about non-gaming rigs, for having their own "show" telling people how to build a knockoff of the most bleeding edge production desktop workstation. They were very confident in their ignorance, though.

I'm not sure what you were talking about, but I was talking about *software* engineers, the people who write software and need the horse power of a mobile workstation to run modern compilers and simulate computer networks to test how their software behaves in our connected world. All these things run better on Linux than any other operating system.
(pardon me for butting in many moons later)
From experiences past: figuring out the number of monitors a given laptop can drive has proved quite the challenge. In my company we standardize on Dell, and two Precision 15.4 inch models bought within a year of eachother with only a minor change in spec increased the # of usable monitors from two to three (two external + the built-in one — not sure what happens if you take the clunky docking out of the equation, nor do I know what resolution to expect as we're still battling with old-school 1080p displays).
I too would appreciate a little more light on this subject.
The m3800 looks enticing, but Dell claims 16GB maximum. 16GB covers my needs today (sort of), but my company expects me to keep my laptop for three years, and in the future I need more headroom than 16GB. I've heard there are no ethernet ports on these either, nor docking (which then brings into question the # of displays supported).
Weight and size is an issue for me. If it weren't, why bother with a laptop anyway? I can get considerably more bang for the buck buying a stationary machine.
Ivor O'Connor
Since I wrote the above I've learned the displayport has a very limiting 9′ max length. Not long enough to handle three displays in many cases. So HDMI is now my preferred solution.
I suppose I meant weight and size of a laptop do not bother me. As long as I can toss it in a backpack and put it on my lap.
Yes, the number and resolution of the external displays a laptop can support should be made clear. It's a spec that is very important and almost always missing.

I'd stay away from the XPS 15 (9530). The first 1 I had had nasty coil/processor whine, faulty trackpad, stuck pixels, vibrating speakers, and screws missing. The second (a replacement for the 1st which took 2 months to arrive!!), had the same coil/processor whine and more stuck/dead pixels. So really shocking build & component quality & awful support. Not something worth taking a risk on for the price. And dell are not interested in resolving the issues…..Ended up with a refund, and not able to find a laptop to replace it..
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
Bummer. If those quality issues are common, it certainly won't win Dell any friends. I've used the previous two generations of XPS 15 in a variety of situations, but have only ever been hands on with the newest at tradeshows. When I had a small issue with my older XPS 15 Dell was great about dealing with it promptly and proactively. As you point out, though, it is tough to match its specs with a Windows laptop (seems to be about the only one that is close to an MBP with Retina display).
Oded Arbel
Regarding the comment about Thinkpad's lack of DisplayPort – please note that Thunderbolt encapsulates a full DisplayPort protocol, and Thuderbolt to DP adapters are cheap and available everywhere (though sadly, at this time they are mostly offered as Apple-white peripherals, instead of Thinkpad-shiny-black).
A couple of other thoughts:
1) I always liked the Thinkpads, but for work on the go (bus, train, coffee shop), 15″ is just too big to whip out of the bag. My device of choice has always been the T4* (starting from way back with the T40), though the keyboard on the recent crop of Thinkpads is giving me pause – I hate the 6 row keyboard w/o its menu key and all the other weirdness. Currently I'm staying with my trusty T420.
2) Dell had a wonderful offer with the Latitude E series, which I still recommend as the best engineering laptop for people who hate Thinkpads, but the XPS and Precision line keep suffering from low quality builds. The support is great, but I'd prefer not to need it at all.
Ivor O'Connor
I did not know the Thunderbolt encapsulates a full DisplayPort protocol. My thoughts about DisplayPort were more along the lines of wanting to use the same cables that perhaps would already be attached to the desktops powering existing displays.
With that in mind I went to newegg and searched in the GPU section for DisplayPort to see how many were out there (175/670): http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&ActiveSearchResult=True&SrchInDesc=displayport&Page=1&PageSize=20
Then I changed the search within to "Thunderbolt" to see how many (0/670):
Thunderbolt seems to be a way in which Apple can make a few more bucks off you for no good reason.
Oded Arbel
Thunderbolt on non-Apple hardware is a new thing and right now most thunderbolt peripherals are geared towards the Mac market. This is about to change quickly with Intel pushing its OEMs for Thunderbolt (2) compatible devices (full disclosure: I work for Intel, near – though not in – the team working on Thunderbolt for PC).
[Correction] You don't need a thunderbolt adapter to connect your DisplayPort device to the Thunderbolt-enabled port – any DisplayPort cable with a "mini" connector is 100% compatible with a Thunderbolt port. The ports are physically the same, and Thunderbolt is just extra data on the same cable that won't bother your DisplayPort devices.
Ivor O'Connor
It will be interesting to see what new Thunderbolt features will set them apart from the DisplayPort standard.
Robert Truitt
Thank you Oded!
I have confirmed this information using the Lenovo manual for this laptop: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/t540p_w540_ug_en.pdf
This is what is says about Thunderbolt:
#1 Use the Thunderbolt connector to connect your computer to a device that is compatible with the Mini DisplayPort interface or Thunderbolt interface, such as a high-definition television
#2: Depending on the model, your computer might have a Thunderbolt connector. It enables you to connect your computer to a device that is compatible with the Thunderbolt interface or Mini DisplayPort interface, such as CRT monitors, LCD monitors, projectors, or high-definition televisions. The Thunderbolt connector has the same appearance as the Mini DisplayPort connector other than the icon. If you connect a device that is compatible with the Mini DisplayPort interface, it generates Mini DisplayPort signals automatically
Pan Graham
Just adding that Lenovo offers a black Mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort accessory cable for the Thinkpad W540. Also available is a black Mini-DisplayPort to DVI accessory cable.

Software nerds please stick to your soft subject and let this discussion not be about how wonderful open source coding ideologies are. We know! The world is bigger than this. Some of us have to actually design buildings and flying machines which involves lots of grown up math and physics concepts. We solve many problems alongside our sibling scientists and are not limited to using other peoples code/compilers and passing it off as software engineering. Take your object orientated code and go paste it into somebody else's thank you.
How does everyone feel about the HP Envy series? I am a mechanical engineering student hoping to purchase a high functioning laptop at a decent price range

I've only played with them at tradeshows, but I think they look good and have pretty good specs. I'm not sure they are Touch, though, so if you want touch, you should double check. I'm also not sure if the HDD versions (not sure they have an SSD version?) have the disk performance I'd like (5400 rpm, and no SSD cache listed), so worth checking on that, too. That said, they are much less expensive than the higher-speced Dell XPS 15, so they do look like a good value-priced option.
http://www.cardinalphoto.com David Cardinal
From a quick look at HP's site, it seems like some are touch-enabled, but tend to have lower rez screens (1366×768 in many cases) while others don't have touch, but are 1080p. Kind of a hodge-podge, but prices are pretty aggressive, so that's good.
Thanks, David. I actually ended getting the Lenovo Ideapad Y510P. Almost double the price but seems highly capable.
For those of us in Australia, the Venom BlackBook is good to look at, our firm uses them, and we run massive 3D rendering Cad apps and projects on there, specifically for CAD as they r mix between gaming and engineering hardware and specs.

Bob — Thanks for the heads-up. They sound awesome.
Owner of a W540 for 30+ days. Items to bear in mind.
(+) Good (-) Bad Not in any particular order, alphabetical:
+ 32gb memory self install (CT102464BF160B 8gb DDR3 1600 1.35v)
+ Camera is decent for Skype, et al.
+ Color autocalibration is an interesting feature (X-Rite)
+ CPU nice and fast, but that is an Intel feature.
+ Fan intake mostly in back, not under. Great for lap use on the road (train, bus, plane), or dusty desktops, keeps vents clean.
+ Lightroom CS and CC works OK.
+ m.2 SATA, albeit, only 42mm size, 128gb max on 03/2014.
+ Nice bright IPS screen, but dull for photography.
+ Nice solid full size keyboard with num keypad.
+ Runs cool compared to AMD chips, quiet!
+ Screen is good, albeit fuzzy and not crisp (MS, Intel & NVIDIA issue)
+ Updates drivers and Patches using "Think Vantage" from Lenovo.
– Actually a downgrade in quality from the W530, rough seams of top of palm lid.
– Annoying fingerprint logo at start up that cannot be personalized.
– Changing drive bay requires removal of flimsy memory/HD panel, may break plastic tabs, uses a tiny bay screw.
– CPU throttling issue, not visible to the average user. Visible with diags.
– Fn lock is inverted, so a green light on key has to be illuminated to have standard Fn button operation (!}
– Keys do not cover the lights under, if at a 45degree angle, strong light glare from keyboars LED, particularly the Fn keys.
– Lettering of F Keys tiny, read invisible. Priority given to what use to be hardware dedicated keys/switches.
– Meaningless "projector" button that does the exact same as Win+P (!)
– Missing HD activity light <- MAJOR Feature failure. It's a black box ready for malware and viruses.
– Missing power 'on' light on PSU brick (safety hazard)
– Missing right/left mouse button, they literally are virtual & slows application use.
– No Blue Tooth light. <- ibid.
– No quick enable/disable touch-pad (!) Deep into software option.
– No lid lock, no area for fingers to grab screen, hard to lift w/o flexing screen.
– NO POWER "ON" LED when shut down. Have no idea if DC input is working, or if brick is working (no LED)
– No sleep/hibernate button you have to use Fn-4 which is not on by default.
– No Wifi hard disconnect switch <- 2nd MAJOR failure for hackers. WiFi locks up, is OS locked (!)
– No WiFi indicator light showing activity (software based) <- ibid (!)
– On/Off light covered by finger. When recovering from a crash, cannot see when hard shut off when holding for 'x' seconds!
– Oodle of crapware, and foreign language file. Needed: A batch file to for cleanup.
– Photoshop CS works, but unusable on high res IPS screen.
– Power on light UNDER finger, when going into hard reboot, often goes into sleep/hibernate instead.
– Screen flexes when you grab one corner and lift it
– Single jack for both earphones and microphone. This is a 3.5mm 4 pole plug. Poor contact, crackling. Not good for audio visual applications.
– Touch-pad accidentally activates with palm and clicks/drags over the screen.
– Touch pad actually useless, mouse is mandatory for REAL work.
– USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports not identified with industry standard 'Blue' for USB 3.0
– When programming, compiling, shut down updates, et al. no sign if crashed due to missing light.
~ Some programs do not recognize the HiRez screen. Tiny letters, compacted fonts, overlapping fonts (this will be solved over time)
Lack of indicator lights (or proper audio i/o jack) is a very annoying issue for a $2,300 WORKSTATION.

Im not an engineer however do work with a bunch. It seems a system must be able to work basic software (but highly powerful when its power is understood) such as excel and project. Also CAD, Solidworks, Spice, Zmax etc…. I have had engineers crash laptop pc's just by utilizing excel… that said, to me, a system must have a stable OS with minimal background noise (unnecessary OS software ad ons performing actions while you work) running during use. 8Megs of Ram is optimal with 64 bit computing the better option if your software supports it along with your wallet…. just a thought or two from your FSO… lol

Blue Bloods
As an NYC police commissioner surrounded by a big law-enforcement family, Selleck tries to keep the peace at work and at home. ''Blue Bloods was the first really character-driven script I'd seen in a long time that wasn't real sweet-saccharine. I mean, these were life-and-death issues. The job of New York City police commissioner is about as hard as any job probably in the world, and to get a chance to pay homage to that character and play the patriarch of a family was appealing. We're not preaching to anybody. I'm not very religious. This family says grace; they're Catholic. I think it's interesting that the show isn't afraid of that. I fully expected, the first time I saw the scripts, that the network would cut it out. But it's not a religious-values show. The family dinners have to be earned by the emotion and drama of the rest of the show. They can't just be saccharine: 'Oh, we love each other and let's say grace.'''
Selleck appeared in one episode as a customer picked up by Elaine Nardo (Marilu Henner). ''Taxi was a big deal. Scared the hell out of me. They shot through the front windshield of this taxi, and all I could see out the windshield was the audience, which just freaked me out. I started getting flop sweat. Marilu's trying to calm me down. When you get flop sweat like that, like Albert Brooks did in Broadcast News, the more you try and stop, the worse it gets [laughs]. 'I can't sweat! I gotta stop!' Anyway, I got through it, and it was pretty good. It was a real nice experience with a great ensemble.''
Jesse Stone
Selleck stars as a hard-drinking small-town cop in this series of unusually contemplative TV movies. ''I really got the character in the Robert Parker books. I said, 'I gotta play this guy.' Our theory was you don't worry about not having an explosion in the first 20 seconds. If you tell a story interestingly, you can hold [''viewers''] until they invest in the characters. That's more of a feature-film technique than what TV movies have evolved into. I'm not putting them down; they're just different. [The first Jesse Stone film] aired between Spring Break Shark Attack and Category 7: The End of the World. We made a very different movie, and we're the only one left [laughs].''
His recurring role as Monica's (Courteney Cox) boyfriend Richard remains a fan favorite. ''The good things you do usually involve a risk. I loved the show and I was very flattered, but they pitched this idea in the room with no script. But I knew how good the writing was on that show. I got a couple calls from people saying, 'You can't do this. It's a bad choice.' I had very few people call and say, 'What a great idea!' I was doing features. The common advice was 'Don't say you're crawling back to TV. You can't guest on somebody else's show. It has to be your show.' I said, 'Well, that's too bad.'''
Three Men and a Baby
At the height of Magnum's success, Selleck signed on for this film, directed by Leonard Nimoy of all people. ''It made people cry as well as laugh. That's hard to do. Leonard was a huge help. He was very smart about how to handle a baby, because he had twins. I don't think Leonard gets the credit he deserves for that movie.'' Selleck's wife gave birth the year after Three Men came out. ''The movie was heightened reality. I don't want to burst anyone's bubble [laughs]. Actually, my parenting skills were pretty good. I changed diapers and all that stuff.''
In & Out
Selleck plays a gay reporter who famously makes out with Kevin Kline's character. ''I went, 'Boy, I don't know how I'm going to do that.' We were going to shoot a bunch on Monday, and Kevin and I came into work on Friday and rehearsed all that stuff. We got rid of the butterflies. We shot it in an intersection out in the country. Some guys in the crew were telling me this traffic cop who we had hired saw the first take and he went, 'What kind of movie is this?'''
Magnum, P.I.
The show that made him a star. ''I like character-driven stuff. Magnum is still in a hundred and some countries, not because of my too-short shorts that are out of style but because it's a character-driven show. Magnum was very perfect in [the first] script. He was kind of James Bond. I said, 'I won't do that. I want to do something like [The Rockford Files' Jim] Rockford, a fallible guy.' They were saying, 'Who the hell do you think you are? You've never been on the air.' I said, 'Nobody, but this is not what I want to do.' [Eventually] Don Bellisario came on and wrote this great two-hour movie of this very flawed character who was the kid who never grew up. It worked out, but it was a huge risk.''
Charlie's Angels
Selleck got to kiss Jaclyn Smith in this one-episode appearance, in which something's missing. ''Oh, my mustache! I'm hardly wedded to it. That was probably one of the ones that said, 'We don't see the boyfriend having a mustache,' and I said, 'Sure, I'll shave it off.' This was early in the show, and I was going to be Jaclyn Smith's boyfriend. I lasted an episode. They got rid of me.''

I bought this saw to add on to my C3 power tool collection. It is small and portable and thats what I need. I like not being tied to an extension cord. I have 3 batteries should be plenty.

I have used this unit for a remodel, nice and smooth action. Overall fit and finish is good - looks like they thought thru several things. I think anyone who says it wouldn't cut a 2x4 tried to get thru the wood way to fast. It's a slower go - but the unit WILL cut a 2x4" as the ad copy says. ( just slow down ) if you need speed - go buy a 110v electric. It will be fitting a shop vac to the vacuum port vs. keeping the small bag that comes with it. I'm pleased as I don't need a larger unit, and the cordless expands my options as to how often I'll take out to cut a small job.

I bought this saw to be a light weight, grab & go saw for trim work and light cross-cutting. Make no mistake, this is not a 15amp, heavy duty compound miter saw - it takes a second to spool up to full speed, and even with the stock blade (I have not tested others yet) it will cut a 2x4 just fine if you aren't heavy-handed and try to rush it. My saw required minor realignment for bevel and miter, but I got it dialed in to dead-on within a few test cuts. One thing to watch for - locking the miter setting (via the back lever) requires only a little pressure; overtightening will cause the deck to slightly rotate out of position by ~0.5 degree or more. This is why I rated 4 stars instead of 5.

I have a bunch of C3 tools. I was preparing to install about 500 sq. feet of bamboo flooring and wanted a smaller, more easy to maneuver miter saw. I would normally have used my 12" Makita. I put a nice new 60T blade on this little saw and was able to cut wood floor all night on two batteries with this saw. Would highly suggest this saw to anyone wanting a small, reliable saw.

Good for saw for what it is, it wont compete with an AC powered miter saw so keep this in mind before buying. I cut 2x4's with it so far and here are the findings: It wont completely cut through a 2x4 stood up on end, you can however bevel the saw and get an angle cut that way. To angle the saw you loosen a lever and angle it by grabbing the main handle as opposed to a front handle so its kind of ackward at first but you get used to it after some use. I used it with NiCad batteries and worked ok but would like to try it with the new XCP's. The saw is compact and portable and would be great for cutting smaller trim. Cant comment on the longevity of the saw, my use of this saw will be occasional and not professional. For trim work you may want to swap the blade with a fine tooth; it somes with a regular course blade. (uses 7-1/4 blades with 5/8 arbor hole)

I just bought this miter saw to add to my growing collection of C3 tools. First, this saw comes with a carbide tipped blade! It does not say that anywhere in the add, but that was a real pleasant surprise!!! Out of the box, the saw needed just the handle and dust bag attached, and it was ready to use. I have the C3 Lithium batteries to use with all my C3 tools, so my review of how it cuts is based on this. I tested the saw on small to large moldings, up to 3 inches wide, and it cut like going thru butter on all of them. I tried it on some 1x2, 1x3 and some other wood I had laying around that was about an inch thick and 3 inches wide. It cut thru all of that with no problem also. Then came the big test, I tried it on a 2x4. I can verify that it can indeed cut a 2x4 with no problem! I could hear the motor slow down just a bit when the blade got about three quarters of the way thru the 2x4, but the blade did not appear to slow down. So that was good! The only bad part about any saw of this size, is that it can NOT cut any 2x4 on a 45 degree angle in one shot. But, you can do it if you just flip the wood over and continue your cut. Doing this, I was even able to cut a 2x6 in half straight on, and on a 45 degree angle! I also used it on some PVC pipe that was laying around, and it cut thru every size I had that was 2 inch diameter or smaller. So if you have any plumbing projects, this saw will work for that too. The limit of material thickness you can cut is 2 inches because of the placement of the motor housing on the handle with the power switch, which will hit any items that are thicker than 2 inches. So you have to keep this in mind. This little saw is light weight, which makes it extremely portable, which is where it really shines. You can take it with you just about anywhere. I just used it today to replace some1x3 trim on the side of my house! I normally would run a cord thru an open window to power my regular miter box, but no more! It was so nice to not have to do that! If you already own any of the C3 line of tools, and you have a bunch of batteries, then this is an excellent addition to your tool collection. It may not be big enough to cut thru everything like a regular miter box, but it will work easily on most of your normal day to day projects, and it is so portable, that I guarantee you will look for things to cut with it just like I did!

A different take on the widely promoted near-Wellbore Stress Augmentation (WSA) approach to strengthening wellbores significantly reduced Non-Productive Time (NPT) related to lost circulation in a number of Gulf of Mexico deepwater wells. Using the Fracture Propagation Resistance (FPR) model, which predates WSA and is based on principles set down by DEA 13, Lost Prevention Material (LPM) was applied continuously in the drilling fluid. The FPR mechanism, which requires no dedicated squeezes or "start-stop" operations that interfere with drilling operations, reduced mud losses up to 80% during drilling, running casing and cementing operations. Furthermore, a specially engineered LPM recovery system resulted in up to 86% efficiency in recovering the LPM not consumed downhole. Consequently, in these applications, the FPR methodology removed lost circulation as being one of the top three causes of costly and time-consuming NPT.

steel output,

Alan Price,
Thomas Danjczek,
Steel Manufacturers Association,
American Scrap Coalition
MIAMI Boosting U.S. steel production while consuming raw materials, such as ferrous scrap, domestically rather than shipping them overseas will shrink the U.S. trade deficit while generating more tax revenue, according to a joint analysis by two trade groups.
"The key conclusions of this analysis ... based on standard modeling is that if we were to increase steel production, it would create tens of thousands of new jobs, add billions of dollars to GDP (gross domestic product) and reduce the trade deficit," Alan Price, president of the American Scrap Coalition and partner at Washington-based Wiley Rein LP, told executives Jan. 24 during a presentation at the Steel Manufacturers Associations (SMAs) annual board meeting, held in Miami.
Between 2006 and 2011, U.S. steel production averaged some 15.9 million tonnes less than consumption each year, according to the study by SMA and the coalition. By increasing domestic steel production to fill that gap, some 99,000 new jobs could be created in the steel industry, according to the study, which is scheduled to be released in the coming days.
Increased domestic production could reduce the U.S. trade deficit by some $9 billion and generate more than $800 million annually in tax revenue, according to Price.
Currently, monthly U.S. steel imports are almost double that of U.S. exports, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Encouraging the use of domestic scrap instead of exporting the material could be a win-win situation, Price added.
"Not all exports are beneficial to the economy. In this case, increased domestic steel production might lead to decreased U.S. scrap exports," he said. "Overall, though, you would get a net economic benefit because the trade deficit numbers would fall. (In addition), steel imports would also fall by much more than the value of scrap exports. The bottom line is that the increase of domestic consumption of scrap would benefit the domestic scrap industry."
Steel interests have noted that natural gas, including shale gas, has increasingly helped U.S. steelmakers gain an advantage over foreign counterparts in the global market.
Steelmakers need to capitalize on the advantage by consuming domestic raw materials rather than sending them overseas, SMA president Thomas Danjczek said. "The message were saying is, Why not make it here?" he added.

Not sure if this is correct, but Economics 101 stated for every supply there must be demand. True demand has been outweighed by over supply in the steel industry the last 5 years. Yes increasing productivity will consume more products domestically, but the revenue for over producing those products will be net losses to the corporation to sell those products. Thus causing a spiral effect of net losses for the mills, their suppliers and the distributors. Too much steel, and not enough buyers. The loss of jobs would far outweigh whatever had been created in the ramp up.
Jan 25, 2013
I've been sharing this view for years in my comments at Steel Industry meetings. The problem is the lack of political will to encourage this, and the mills are reluctant to proceed without at least a modicum of Fed support

For restless gym-goers, the Laurel Fitness and Swim and the Laurel Racquet club offer two separate locations from which to lift weights, labor over lay-ups, or lounge in a whirlpool or sauna.

Youngsters descend upon Rolly Pollies, engaging in active play furnished with age-appropriate classes and open-gym time while developing motor skills and social aptitude within the multihued, bustling space. Tots ages 6 months to walking can partake in the Caterpillars class, which gathers fledgling explorers for singing, games, and dissertations on the power of community.

The muscle tutors at Fitness Together will work with you to determine your goals (drop pounds, run a marathon, get strong enough to finally confront Douglas) and develop a customized workout plan designed to help you reach your true fitness potential. They'll supervise your squats, offer nutritional advice, and push you until you see results. Individualized attention means it's all about you—your trainer can point out when you're doing a stretch incorrectly, help you tone the trouble zones, and push you to keep going when you'd otherwise quit or become distracted by the fragile beauty of a passing hummingbird.
The artists at Wine and Canvas awaken their students' inner Rembrandts and Van Goghs with classes that pair a featured painting with specialty cocktails and wines. The mobile studio's monthly calendar includes themed classes in which instructors expound on the nuances of painting Parisian street lamps, Japanese flowers, or Venetian cityscapes. The master painters—many of them local artists—provide step-by-step instructions while students mimic each stroke and periodically dip their brushes into glasses filled with crimson cabernet. Each of the studio's various drink-friendly venues boasts a specialty libation selected to incite creativity or conversations with fellow painters. When the artistic frenzy concludes, students return home with a finished masterpiece large enough to conceal any wall safe or mirror portal.

With a staff of highly educated specialists ranging from marine biologists to biomedical engineers, the instructors work closely with kids to share their own knowledge, experience, and stories of being in the field with crocodiles and sharks.

Durata Therapeutics Announces Completion Of QT Study Of Dalbavancin
Durata Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DRTX) today announced results from its QT study of the company's lead product candidate, dalbavancin. Dalbavancin is currently under investigation in two ongoing, global, Phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI). The QT study data, presented at the 52 nd Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC), showed that in this study dalbavancin had no clinically significant impact on cardiac conduction.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) generally requires thorough QT studies for new chemical entities due to the risk of heart arrhythmias associated with some pharmaceutical products. The results observed in Durata's definitive study are intended to satisfy the FDA's requirements in this area. These data will be included in the company's New Drug Application (NDA) for dalbavancin, which Durata anticipates submitting with the FDA in the first half of 2013.
For more information on this and four other Durata-related studies presented at ICAAC 2012, visit www.duratatherapeutics.com/media-center/publications.

Road conditions just a call away
Calling 1-800-452-9292 will get you near real-time information on traffic and weather impacting Texas roads and highways. In just one phone call, drivers can learn everything about current road conditions including construction delays and lane closures. Callers can also to speak to travel counselors during business hours and can also request travel literature.
The system can handle as many as 900 calls for automated information at any time. In the event of a large-scale event like a winter blizzard or a hurricane, TxDOT and AT&T can expand the system to handle higher call volumes.
Highway conditions are updated every five minutes. And when TxDOT employees across the state update the state's online Highway Conditions Reporting System, the new IVR phone system will update the information almost instantly.
The previous TxDOT Travel Information Line included recorded information that was sometimes out-of-date. With the new IVR technology, callers will have direct access to updates on the highways on which they want to drive.
Happy driving,
Marc S.

hey guys,
i ran into a bot of a problem with my Mac client, everytime I click the icon it just bounces once and refuses to start, it doesnt say anything, thats the exact problem nothing happens. Is this a known issue or something or do i have download and patch the whole frigging game again?
It looks like a few people have been having this problem. They did manage to solve it by reinstalling the client, but I'm not sure how permanent that solution is.

Walmart Bass Fishing League - Volunteer
Watts Barr (Sept. 21-22, 2013)
Hazel claims title in close fashion on Watts Bar
ROCKWOOD, Tenn. – Brian Hazel of Clinton, Tenn., weighed in a two-day total of 10 bass for 30 pounds, 14 ounces Sunday to win the Walmart Bass Fishing League Volunteer Division Super Tournament on Watts Bar Lake. For his victory, Hazel earned $4,268.
Hazel earned his first BFL win in the closest fashion possible. In fact, Hazel won by virtue of having a heavier bag on the first day, even though he and Bo Cross of Knoxville, Tenn., tied for the final weight.
"I've been practicing for a while, and I've been on them really good," said Hazel. "I never even went to the last weekend because I knew I'd hurt my fish. That's how good I was on them.
"Early in the morning I'd catch them on a Zara Spook on the edge of grass flats," said Hazel. "It rained all day Saturday, but the morning bite was still there. Once the rain quit I caught them on a swim jig around docks with grass on them.
"That ended up being the thing for Sunday as well," continued Hazel. "I only caught one on the Zara Spook the second day. I wasn't getting many bites, but the bites I did get were quality.
"I'm pretty stoked," said Hazel about his win. "This is the first year I've fished the BFL's, and I did pretty good."
Hazel said he threw a white Zara Spook and a sexy shad-colored Strike King swim jig.
Rounding out the top 10 pros:
2nd: Bo Cross, Knoxville, Tenn., 10 bass, 30-14, $2,134
3rd: Jonathan Bowling, Harriman, Tenn., 10 bass, 27-5, $1,423
4th: Tim Smiley, White Pine, Tenn., eight bass, 26-14, $996 + $300 Evinrude Bonus
5th: Steve Coleman, Clayton, Ga., seven bass, 23-12, $854
6th: Craig Powers, Rockwood, Tenn., eight bass, 22-6, $783
7th: George Carroll, Clinton, Tenn., seven bass, 22-4, $711
8th: Larry Rolen, Loudon, Tenn., seven bass, 19-10, $640
9th: Bobby Drinnon, Rogersville, Tenn., six bass, 19-0, $569
10th: Tee Watkins, East Point, Ky., six bass, 18-3, $498

Warden takes co-angler title
Kyle Warden of Bluff City, Tenn., weighed in a two-day total of five bass weighing 13 pounds, 10 ounces Sunday to win $2,134 in the co-angler division.
Rounding out the top 10 co-anglers:
2nd: Dennis Lewis, Powell, Tenn., five bass, 13-4, $1,067
3rd: Darren Kelly, Wartburg, Tenn., five bass, 12-1, $712
4th: Roger Hahn, Fairfield, Ohio, four bass, 11-7, $498
5th: Jason Jackson, Waynesville, N.C., three bass, 9-9, $427
6th: Jim Neece, Bristol, Va., three bass, 9-5, $391
7th: Tyler Duckworth, Gray, Tenn., two bass, 8-14, $356
8th: Eric Topole, Corryton, Tenn., four bass, 8-10, $320
9th: Justin McGaha, Knoxville, Tenn., three bass, 8-7, $285
10th: Steve Kugley, Knoxville, Tenn., three bass, 8-1, $249
Complete co-angler results can be found here.
The top 40 boaters and 40 co-anglers based on point standings will qualify for the Oct. 17-19 Regional Championship on Lake Hartwell in Lavonia, Ga. Boaters will compete for a top award of a Ranger Z518 with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard and a Chevy Silverado, while co-anglers will fish for a new Ranger Z518 with a 200-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard.
The BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 120 tournaments throughout the season, five in each division. The top 40 boaters and co-anglers from each division qualify for a regional tournament and compete to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the Walmart BFL All-American presented by Chevy. Top winners in the BFL can move up to the EverStart Series or even the Walmart FLW Tour.
About FLW

Love you Great Big Sea! See you in Toronto at the Molson Amhphitheater in July! Just saw you last month in Chicago, IL. I'm not stalking I promise. Toronto will be the last for the summer unfortunately as I have too many other vacations booked as well. Well, maybe I can get to Stevensville, Ont. at the end of August, I'll see! Keep up the great music! Oh, also, can I still submit pictures of Great People for the Toronto Concert on July 13? And if so, how again?

I will always love Great Big Sea, not only for their music and charm, but also because they open their hearts (and arms) to fans. They are very gracious and kind, they never treat people like they are above them and are awesome representatives of Newfoundland and Canada.

Sam Perroni Retiring From Courtroom Work
Posted 3/23/2009 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
Sam Perroni, the Little Rock attorney who has made several comebacks from medical conditions in recent years, has announced he won't try any more cases.
Perroni suffered a back injury in an auto accident in the spring of 2005 and, even with several surgeries in Germany, he says he can't sit through a trial that could last several weeks.
But that doesn't mean Perroni will be out of the law business altogether. The celebrated criminal defense attorney will be a mentor and is listed "of counsel" to his new firm, Perroni & Koehler, which moved into west Little Rock offices in February.
Koehler is Shelly Hogan Koehler, 31, a former star student of Perroni, who taught white-collar crime law at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's William H. Bowen School of Law. (He said he'll continue to teach the class once a year.)
Koehler will practice criminal defense, naturally.
Perroni made his first comeback after spending most of 2000 and 2001 recuperating from surgery to remove a benign tumor near his brain.
And he came back to the courtroom after the auto accident. In 2008, Perroni represented – with mixed success – attorney Barry Jewell, the former law partner of convicted thief, tax evader and extortionist Keith Moser. Jewell was charged with five counts in U.S. District Court. Three of the five counts against Jewell were dismissed before they reached the jury, and the jury convicted Jewell of only one charge, tax evasion.
Perroni has appealed the verdict and Jewell hasn't been sentenced yet.
