I asked this in the black desert online thread. I'm travelling alot and want to play the game on the road. What's the cheapest solution for something lightweight that just gets the job done? Not looking for something that runs settings on high.

What Notebook Should I Buy? | NotebookReview
Has helped me immensely in the past. It's been around for years, and one of the best laptop forums I've ever found. I use that sub-forum specifically when I have notebook questions and about to make another post in it as I'm back in school and want an ultra portable.

Pardon the wccftech link but their source is Swedeclockers and they're usually pretty accurate.

This may be old news (hopefully not) but I found this site to be helpful when comparing/considering laptop GPU's vs. desktop GPU's:Tips for buying notebook with decent graphics (Spring 2016 edition)

Does anyone know anything about shipping a laptop overseas? Trying to get around this lithium ion battery ban or whatever. If I had a laptop shipped to someone else from Amazon, and they packaged it discreetly, would that be enough for them to then ship it to me at an overseas address (an FPO)?

You can ship overseas. They relaxed the Li-Ion battery rules a while back. Before it was an outright ban, but now it basically allows if they are a part of the device you are shipping. You can't ship individual batteries, etc but a laptop with the pack built in is A-ok. I am at an FPO and have had a couple Dell laptops shipped here in the last couple years. The last one was maybe 6 months back.
You can also have someone else ship it, as you suggested. Lots of people do this for various items.

I ship laptops from Amazon all the time. You just have to select the vendor that is willing to send the laptop overseas, which is rare and a pain in the ass to find. This is even harder with dell and HP laptops.
On another note... does anyone recommend any Business laptop that is not Lenovo? Most business oriented laptops have shit specs when compared to home laptops. But home laptops are normally built to shit and don't come with Windows pro.

I am partial to Dell's latitude line for business laptops. We use those at my job. Well built compared to the home line and easier to work on. The home line of most laptops almost always require surgery for a simple upgrade. The business lines are all user accessible from the bottom.

Yea ended up finding out the ban was lifted and nothing was on my FPO restricted list. Amazon wouldn't ship overseas (ASUS laptop) so shipped it to my wife to send it to me. We'll see how it goes. It shipped priority mail and fully insured with USPS. She shipped it on the 9th and it got to an origin facility in San Francisco on the 12th, where (according to the tracker) it has been sitting ever since. Not sure if it's USPS being shit or if it got swapped to the military at that point and tracking ended.

Yea, Amazon is weird as hell about some items that ship to APO and others don't. That's nothing specifically to do with li-ion batteries.
Hell, I have had the most mundane things not able to ship from Amazon. Then just pop over to another vendor website and they ship no problem.
