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!

[Freebasser]

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.

TAXED

[roosta]

is it made by Apple? It should be.

[Randetica]

spit shine

[Lex Diamonds]

Let them try, I won't hesitate to shank a bumbaclat snake.

[RobMoney$]

Do you get better porn on that new computer?


Then who gives a shit.

[ToucanSpam]

Srsly, what model is it?

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!

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

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.

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.

[Freebasser]

Oooooohohohhhhh, computer specifications.

SEXY NEW TERRITORY!

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

[rirv]

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

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?

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.

[ToucanSpam]

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.

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.

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?

[Freebasser]

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

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

yeah, idk wtf is wrong with what you do on it but everything i do works liek a charm.

[Planetary]

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

[Nygel]

go to system preferences and make the right side be the right clicker. That's what I did. But the laptop is easier. Just tap with two fingers to do right click. I don't have much to complain about wiht this laptop.

[camo]

Freebs are you working on g3's?!?!

I love macs, I've always preferred the uncluttered feel to the OS. Plus most pc laptops encompass the ergonomics of a house brick (although there are some almost sexy looking models knocking about these days).
