Laptops?
« on: June 23, 2009, 03:53:04 PM »
I see the buggers everywhere nowadays, and with the prices dropping as rapidly as they did it's obvious why.

I have a Dell Vostro 1000 with a 15.4" screen and an Acer Aspire One netbook with an 8.9" screen.  Who's got a laptop and what have you got?  :D

I really wanted a 13.3 samsung or similar, but for the price I could have got two of the one I did get, and had enough change left over for a couple cases of beer... and anything smaller would have been find for me, but the wife thought they were too small to work on.

I got a Packard Bell something or other from work, and for office and web browsing it's fine but that's all I'm willing to do on it. Watching dvds isn't a pleasant experience the screen just doesn't do them justice :( But then I've got my desktop for doing fun stuff on 8) I'd like a small laptop a 13" screen seems about right to me :)

Fujitsu Tablet/notebook at home (T4215 I think).

Fujitsu U810 at work.  Basically a super netbook.  Have the docking station and huge external HD.  It functions as my desktop/mobile computer.   Actually shipped it on mule back during a climb once.

The BossLady has a Mac Pro.

I bought a Compaq last year for $399. I added 2 more gigs of memory so it's up to 3 now. Dual core/Vista Home Premium. My wife uses it mainly to play Chuzzle and Zuma on. I use it mainly when i travel to watch Hulu and surf the internet.

On a side note ..you would be amazed at how many people don't secure their Wi Fi >:D >:D >:D
