Today I take a look at a safe distance at the Toshiba Satellite T130D. Please be mindful that if these are found in the wild that they will likely need their BIOS updated, however, keep in mind that this will stop the laptop from charging until the wiring harness can be replaced, so it will be a labour of love.

In this midpoint evaluation, I take a look at what I miss or a comparison between the two computers that have handled my work flow over the month. I've been using a MacBook Pro Retina since 2012 for my work and as you know, just recently bought this SurfaceBook 2. This video will begin to explore the question: What have I missed from using my Macbook, if anything? The older MBP is a great machine even by today's standards, it still gets use once a week by the way!
If you have questions about making the switch, the SurfaceBook 2 in general or others, please post your questions and comments below and I will do my best to answer them.

Today we have reached the 800th subscriber. Please enjoy some B roll footage of a dirty desktop computer :-) I didn't realize I hadn't checked the drive bays in a little while, bit embarrassing.
Also, I am exploring the possibility of getting a social media account for keeping you up to date outside of video content. Let me know in the comments if that work interests you and what platform would be best.
Thanks again for all your support, contributions and viewership.

In this second installment, we take a look at more weapons that are in the spirit of the originals (plus an OICW treat test) that were animated by Cliffy. Please subscribe for Half-Life VR related updates.
Cliffy's animation sets were made with biceps in the skeleton and adapt incredibly well to the VR environment. To see more of his work, check out the links below:

Today we take a look at a gaming laptop from 2010. There isn't anything spectacular about this unit but it shows what gamers that wanted "portability" had to settle for back then. Thankfully we have come a long way.
In the year 2019, I cannot see why someone would want to still use one of these things unless the price was right of course, but it shows how much progress we have made.

In this video we will discuss the Trackpad, Keyboard and other small details that I have noticed in my first week of using the machine. I apologize for jumping around in the timeline of the review, but since this machine is being used daily for work, it makes it somewhat challenging to create a coherent timeline.
Feel free to ask questions or request video content in the comments below as I continue my experimentation with this unique machine.
