| ______________________________________ [Dec 4,2006 10:48am - the_reverend ""] I thought I said ealier... they are awesome computers and usually have the latest and greatest.. but a lot of sony's stuff breaks easily. |

| ______________________________________ [Dec 5,2006 6:44am - Messerschmitt ""] i looked at the sony at the store the other day. the thing looks like it belongs on a boat, you know that white waterproof cheapo plastic crap. guess i'll just keep looking. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 5,2006 9:43am - the_reverend ""] you don't go boating? |
| ___________________________________________________ [Dec 6,2006 8:41am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] It's made to withstand semen better. |
| ______________________________ [Dec 6,2006 8:50am - Mess ""] i'm on it! |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 8,2006 7:59am - the_reverend ""] carina just ordered a new lappy from dell. the thing will be an awesome monster! |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 8,2006 8:01am - Messerschmitt ""] which one? |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 8,2006 8:06am - the_reverend ""] I believe it's the dell 1705. 17" screen and all the wizzies that will make it a super faster/nice machine for her photo-editing. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 8,2006 8:12am - Messerschmitt ""] 17" screen. jeeeeesh. sounds like a tank. will it be more for home use than anything er what? |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 8,2006 8:22am - the_reverend ""] exactly. I read some things where someone moved from the computers that her/i have now to something like that and processing one picture used to take them 3 1/2 minutes per picture, but once they got a computer spec'd like what she ordered, it dropped to 50 seconds. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 8,2006 8:28am - Messerschmitt ""] i'm still looking. my car's in the shop so i suppose being able to drive come's before the fun stuff. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 8,2006 8:31am - the_reverend ""] if you don't have a car, then you can't go anywhere. therefore, you don't need a laptop. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 8,2006 8:37am - Messerschmitt ""] ssssssswhati'msayin |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 8,2006 8:42am - Messerschmitt ""] but if i find one cheap enough, i'll thow it on the plastic and get myself in more debt and go nowhere in life. sounds like a plan to me. |
| ___________________________________________ [Dec 11,2006 12:38am - davefromthegrave ""] Hey Rev, are Acer laptops any good? |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 11,2006 1:03am - the_reverend ""] they are ok as far as cheap laptops go |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 11,2006 1:05am - davefromthegrave ""] Do they have any consistent problems or anything like that? |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 11,2006 1:06am - the_reverend ""] not any more than any other $400 laptop. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 11,2006 1:15am - davefromthegrave ""] i should probably go with a dell. i can't stand when shit breaks on me. |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 11,2006 1:16am - davefromthegrave ""] thank you for the advice. |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 11,2006 2:39am - blackmetallady ""] Go with Dell.com There is a trick to it though. Find the laptop that suits you online, but don't order it online. Call the 800 number and tell them the model # that you saw online...phone orders are typically cheaper with Dell than buying online. I think it's because the sales person makes a commission. I saw a moniter online, but when I called in to order is was $100 cheaper! Try it... pick the laptop out online, but call to order it. |
