383 parts/9 stages but first 2 are dropped tanks only, six Emu's boost to orbit then KS-68 Mars cryo engines circularize and do the interplanetary injection and midcourse burns, maybe enough to make orbit.
Still being tested...
In a previous post I asked advice about the suitability of a 2011 HP EliteBook Mobile Workstation 8740w (17" WUXGA). They are occasionally offered on eBay for ~$400US.
Replies were almost unanimously against the purchase but I went ahead anyway as I need a mil-spec notebook for my photography work.
Don't have a SSD installed yet but am pleasantly surprised at the performance.
I know it won't hold a candle to a cryogenically-cooled overclocked desktop but it's good enough for this space cadet

Well folks, I went ahead and purchased the EliteBook 8740w...$600CDN total and it's a very nice machine. Built like a tank, hardly a "laptop" indeed it's labelled as a 'mobile workstation'.

Thanks "Moach" and "Alshain" for the command-line info. I've been pulling my hair out for weeks with crashes, even bought tons more RAM (needed it anyway)
Both the opengl and directx switches worked for me so far...NO crashes
You guys are rockstars!
