Yeah so today is a great day As soon as the software is finished self-installing, I'm getting FC2 on here. Shibby! I almost went for the Dell Inspiron 8600 (because of the Radeon 9600 Pro), but opted for the Compaq because of how easy it is for me to have it serviced. I have a three-year warranty, and I bought it at Staples. There's like three Staples right next to my place, so if ever anything goes wrong... well, I get a new computer right away. I also almost bought a PowerBook, but my teachers (I'm in software engineering) told me a PC was a better idea because we'll be doing only VC++ this year.

So... post your laptops!

[edit]Took a crappy picture. It's not too bad considering that there isn't a single light on in my room. My g/f's sleeping and I wouldn't want to bother her. [edit 2]And on top of that, I've been trying for almost a week now to get CS:S to download, and I FINALLY got in. This is great

:wq!

I don't have a laptop anymore, but I'm thinking of getting once I can use for word processing, internet stuff, taking to class, and so on.

I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

Of course I do. Other than Gentoo, it seems to be one of the easiest distros to get ATIs working.

Forgot to mention that I got a USB numeric keypad thrown into the deal too

I wish my D600 was black like the C series...

Damn silver...

Shibby--now if you can just overclock tha--

NO! MUST RESIST TEMPTATION TO OVERCLOCK!

Er...yeah.

I'm probably going to get an iBook or PowerBook for my first laptop--because with student discounts they're so damned CHEAP and good. Unless apple no longer does that deal anymore.

Curiousity got to you? I thought you hated Macs

I know that my school gets student prices for us on the whole iBook and PowerBook lines, as well as for some desktop systems.

I hate the desktops, mainly I hate the PRICE, but iBooks and PowerBooks are really cheap, and really good, actually. Especially if used for what they were intended and bought as a student.
