Are the quotes looking weird for anyone else in the previous couple posts?

I couldn't see the problem though when I tried to edit it. The posts weren't in the quoted part.

What kind of pics are you taking with your phone that you don't want to be seen?

I thought the same thing but I like my tablet. I bought an Asus Infinity a few months ago and use it all the time. I find it easy to hold or I just sit it on my lap. I use it for browsing, games, and have a few digital magazine subscriptions that work pretty good on it. It's just like a bigger version of my phone, only no phone in it!

A keyboard dock is also available, so if you need one, it can be added!

Got a sound blaster z a few weeks back, currently using it with Logitech x-540 5.1 speakers. It sounds pretty good, wasn't a leap from onboard tho, just wondering if I need better speakers to take advantage of the soundcard?

Was looking at some klipsch promedia 2.1 as I heard they were "name brand" for sound, just couldn't pull the trigger.

I have the Klipsch and they sounded pretty good, until a power surge blew out the subwoofer.

You'll need a good sound card as well as good speakers. Logitech has always served me just fine, but I wouldn't consider them anywhere close to "high-end." Personally, I would've upgraded the speakers first, then got a dedicated sound card if I still wasn't happy.

Just kinda got a sound card because it was the only thing left to buy for my build. And Yeah I knew they weren't high-end speakers, what would you advise me to get that isn't outrageously priced?

Honestly I couldn't begin to tell you what's the best in speakers. Hopefully someone else can help you out with that. As mentioned, Logitech and on-board has always been sufficient for me. I've heard good things about Edifier and Klipsch, but I've never used either...

Hey Nathan, are you looking to sell your current laptop? I could use an extra laptop for one of my programming classes this semester, so I'm looking at my options...
