<br>
It has recently come to my attention that I desperately need a new laptop. Recently, I made a port of the SNOBOL4 languages (because hey, there's an implementation being maintained, and I'm sure people can use it) and as part of the build process, the software runs some benchmarks and asks you to submit the benchmark output via email. So I did, and come to find out I had the lowest benchmark numbers ever received from an i386 or amd64 machine. So yay, I'm the World Record Holder for slowest laptop. Let's fix that.<br>
<br>
What are your recommendations? I do have some hard requirements: the GPU needs to support close to the newest OpenGL versions. The one I have now only does OpenGL 1, and that means some ports I want to finish I can't because I have no idea if they work or not because the GPU can't display them!<br>
<br>
Also needs to be cheap, because I'm a broke grad student. CPU power I'm more meh on. I realize that faster CPU means less time waiting for compiles but clearly I've gotten along just fine all these years...<br>
<br>
It should also be noted to those who know the laptop personally, yes, I'm talking about the one with the handle on it. It needs to go.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
