For that matter can you back up the “1/2 million” figure? There are about that many Asian-American residents of Orange County inclusive of all nationalities, Vietnamese Americans being perhaps a plurality but not a majority.

[quote=briansd1]Orange County would be a blue county if it weren’t for the 1/2 million Vietnamese immigrants who are largely poor, on welfare, but vote Republican out of anti-communism.[/quote]

Hey Brian, can you back up that assertion about the O.C. Vietnamese-American community being largely on welfare?!?

I lived in Orange County for 16 years and I’ve met exactly one Vietnamese-American immigrant on welfare, and that was after losing his life’s savings in a failed business venture.

I imagine this will boost demand for properties around the $546K loan limit, which should help shore up the lower end of the market.

One can still find a pretty nice house for $546K.

Toshiba and Asus seem to have the best reputation these days. Look for something with NVidia or AMD Radeon graphics — avoid anything with “Intel HD Graphics” or ‘Intel GMA4500.” I’d recommend a 17″ screen for old folks like myself but for young eyes a 15.6″ screen would be fine. Plus the 15″ laptops fit into mid-sized bags and backpacks.

Here’s one that caught my eye while I was window-shopping for myself: Toshiba Satellite L755-S5255. Intel Core i5, 4GB DDR3, and most importantly discrete graphics. Runs about $700 and should be good for a few years, or until the Next Big Thing comes out … whatever that is.
