Coconut oil also makes a great moisturizer - hair likes it too! Mix a little warmed coconut oil in with your 'poo - helps keep silver from drying out! Hair texture makes a huge difference in how much to use!
I've been wondering about that (research).
Sounds like 2 thumbs up for Asus brand? Hope to stay above a 10 inch screen - older eyes! LOL! What's really confusing is the processor stuff: dual core (oh! Good!) icore? icore 3,4 or 5? Understand each is a better version .
Coconut. The cure for almost anything, but very few drink or eat it. For lice.. there is a little product out that contains coconut oil. Only stuff we use. It works wonderfully. My father in law has the progressed stage of ahlzeimers. Nasty nasty disease. It is heart renching to see a brillant man who can no longer work a tv remote or have a clue to where to sign for a purchase. His is genetic too which means my wife or kids could get. One of the items to use to ward it off is coconut milk.
I own 5 asus. Best price for the hardware. CS with them is shakey, but I only used it once. Got frustrated and fixed it my self. They are the only things I buy for work. Except for one of the owners. His kid works for AMD so I have to get that chip. Brownie points ya know.
My suggestion is to figure out what you want to do on it and go from there. 8 cores sound great. But if you arent going to use them it is a waste just like sandy bridge. Graphics and name branding are the biggest culprits in price. Imo. I am a big fan of having some discreet memory vs full shared graphics. Also if you go the net book route most come with win7 starter. While it is okay it has very little in customizing. Most dont have a cd either but a 20 buck external does wonders.
If you want to pm me questions I can try to help. Just remember no question is awful. One guy at work came into my office yanking on his hair. He said he tried everything but his computer wouldn't work. I a little sarcastic. I said you better stop yanking you lose what little hair you have, did you push the power button? He just looked at me and laughed. I said give me 5. I went over bent down and flipped the switch on the surge protector and said now push the power button. Then i said your buying lunch and smiled. The cleaning crew always trips those things.
Bah i am rambling..but give me a pm if you want ill be happy to answer the best i can.
