Science Demands Sacrifices

What’s creepier? An empty library or the average Internet forum?

On the one hand, there’s the sound of recirculated air through dusty pages. On the other, there’s that guy who wants to know what color socks you have on. It’s really hard to say which is scarier. But with a Samsung Quad-Core i7 Notebook, you’ll be able to do the research to answer the question once and for all.

With the 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, you’ll be ready for the long hours of sitting alone in the library, collecting the first half of your data. Pick any topic to research and do it on an empty floor. Before long you’ll be wondering: is that a creak? Was that a voice you heard? Did you miss an announcement and get locked in for the night? These are questions you’ll be asking yourself as you fill up that 750GB hard drive with notes. Pretend the click was just the air conditioner turning on. Surely it’s not some maniac planning on beating you to death with the Encyclopedia Britannica! And thanks to the well-designed battery, you won’t even need to bring your plug, which you might have otherwise forgotten while sprinting from the building in abject terror!

And then, you’ll head back home for the second half of the experiment. Fire up the Samsung Quad-Core i7 Notebook and let the WiMAX and Wi-Fi combo adapter take you to a random internet forum. Use the pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium and you can watch a movie on the slot-loading DVD±RW, or if you’ve got an adapter (not included) you can use the Intel® Wireless Display to send the movie right to your television! As you relax in your home, it’ll be easy to ask questions about the rainfall of Peru and the major exports of the Balkan states, most of which will be met with answers like “wut” or “do u like mudkips” or maybe even “turn on your webcam and give me your address or else.”

Ultimately, when you correlate the data through the power of 6GB of DDR3 SDRAM, you’ll have your answer as to which of the two is the real gateway to peak creepy. And then, most likely, you’ll never feel clean or safe again.

But at least you’ll have a nice laptop you can use while you’re lying awake at night. That’s gotta count for something.
