I've got a shiny new laptop
 

It's beautiful, it even smells nice. It's about 10 times better than our old home PC.

In your face, suckers!

It has a tiny screen though.

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

I'm going to come round and rob it.

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

I wouldn't call 17 inches "tiny". It's bigger than my home computer screen, and it's crystal clear and shiny as a mirror. :)

You're just making rirv more interested in stealing it.

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop

Do you get better porn on that new computer?


Then who gives a shit.

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

Srsly, what model is it?

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

Mine is, its a shiny new macbook pro. its only 15" though :( looks like you got me there.... unless you count the imac sitting across the room. its 24".

apple ftw.

lack of sony applications for apple sucks though

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

I have the 15" macbook pro too. Honestly I think 17" laptop's are too much if you're gonna be traveling even semi-regularly. But as a what they call "desktop replacement" its ok. I like my macbook pro though, Its super-great!

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

Too right, I often travel to London and take my 17" Powerbook and it' get's so freaking heavy after 10 mins of lugging it about (n)

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

It's called a Dell Inspiron 1720.

Windows Vista
2ghz Pentium Dual Core
2gb RAM
DVD RW and all that shit
256mb GeForce graphics
Beautiful 17" widescreen

And it was only like £400 ($800) which isn't much for a laptop.

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

Nice specs and a good price. Do you find Vista annoying? I personally don't, but a lot of people have been shitting bricks over it.

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

Oooooohohohhhhh, computer specifications.

SEXY NEW TERRITORY!

LET'S SHAKE IT LIKE WE IN AN EARTHQUAKE, BABAY!

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

All I know is I hate Vaio. They eat power up, sound like a wind farm and take 20 minutes to boot.

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

Must be a Mac user. Tell me, do you enjoy having Justin whatever his name is carrying your flag for you with those little clever commercials?

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

I think it's cool. Will take a bit of getting used to but it looks nice (I've gone for a black/dark red theme) and nothing on your whole computer ever takes more than like 3 clicks to get to. (y)

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

Agree on Vista. Finally a Window OS that doesn't crash and burn frequently.


I went for black-everything-I-could-without-being-illegible because I am using an Alex Ross background:

A little more geeky than normal but like everyone else I have Batman fever over the new movie.

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

I am a mac user, but only at work. Macs are shit. Really shit. This is coming from someone who uses them for 8 hours a day.

At home, it's PC all the way. I used to know everything about computers because I used to play lots of cutting-edge PC games during the 90s at a time when hardware specs changed drastically weekly - I could tell you precisely why one videocard was better than another for example. Now, I'm just too past it to be honest. 95% of modern PCs can do pretty much anything, so there's no real need to keep check on hardware specs.

If you bought it new, and it cost a fair wedge of money, then chances are it'll do what you tell it to without much hassle.

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

Will it toast my bread and cut off the crusts?


Can anyone answer the question of why Mac feels they can get away with those abrasive commercials? It would be so easy to counterattack them especially with their poster boy of choice. Why isn't anyone assaulting them back?

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

Because the people who enjoy using them are too mashed off free wine from their local art gallery to care.

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop
 

They're really not. They are quite good. OS X is very good also.

WHO DARES ARGUE WITH THE GREAT AND POWERFUL AIDS?!??!

Re: I've got a shiny new laptop

The macs at uni got a lot less annoying when they got mouses with 2 clickerses
