I've got a shiny new laptop

[Lex Diamonds]

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.

[rirv]

I'm going to come round and rob it.

[Lex Diamonds]

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.

[Freebasser]

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

I want to know what it's like having a new laptop as a computer. I want a 'desktop substitute'; something that is 10 times better than our old home pc. A laptop can be that substitute? I really wish to get one, as this fucking thing runs on kerosene it's so old and shit. Fuck you my computer.

Yeah, I was basically you till I got this badboy. My old computer is like 5 years old, one of those ones that you have to turn on then go do something else while you wait for it to load up. It really pissed me off so I used to hit it a lot, which in hindsight probably only exacerbated things.

I remember I used to be quite into PC gaming and you woulda had to spend like £1500 to get a nice laptop around 5 years ago. But for £400 this baby can do pretty much everything I'd ever need, I'm thinking it should last me a good 10 years or so, if all goes well. I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you got wireless at home. Online gaming and porn in every room of the house, what more could you ask for?


ps
It has a built in mic and webcam, with hilarious features like "man voice to woman voice" and a selection of cartoon facepaints/masks. Worth the asking price alone.

Yeeah you know I've never even set up a wireless router, I'm so over the hill. But I want to, for a laptop if I get one, the wii, LIVE, such and such. I'd be tempted to get into some PC gaming. You reckon a laptop could cover those needs?

[na§tee]

a laptop that cost 400 quid isn't going to be a PC gaming powerhouse.

but of course you can get laptops that have high specs for PC gaming if you have the moolah to spend on it. what do you think all those dorks use for their LANS?

Oh for sho. COD4 is pretty much the best looking game out right now and this baby will run that comfortably. Like C-bizzle says, laptops aren't generally the way to go for hardcore gaming but this one is good enough that it will run most things out right now. It came with Office and a shitload of other media software too so it can do pretty much anything I'd want it to.

I prefer a laptop at home for such reasons as - space saving, being able to sit on the couch/bed whilst working and they also double up as a heater in the cold winter months, mmmm warm legs.

Just make sure that your graphics card is decent and that the laptop is given time to cool down before you put it away when you've finished using it )if it doesn't have a fan). If it does, then make sure it stays clean.

Also parts for laptops are always more expensive than their desktop counterparts so be ready for a hefty bill when something fucks up.

Oh and watching dvd's in bed on a sunday morning is good too.
