get desk top million times better than any lappy

I don't have the room for a desktop buddy :( would probs get one when I get my own place but gonna get a lappy that's gonna last 3/4 years!

top one, l500 range is great. should be able to get it a lot cheaper than that though

Erm, they can be better - in terms of getting more memory, processor speed, etc., for your money.

But less useful if you're on a train, want to take your computer into the back garden, etc.

Horses for courses really.  A Ferrari might be 'better' than a Transit van, until you need to move a sofa and a fridge-freezer...

Acers seem to have a bad rep, but I have bought two and they've been excellent for me.

Try acerdirect.co.uk

The second one I got was an 'A Grade' one.  Nothing up with it at all (it hadn't been used, but the box had been opened and so they couldn't sell it as 'new').  Ended up with a laptop that would have been £800+ for £550.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but I'm thinking of getting a netbook.  Anyone bought one recently and can recommend one, or should I just look on acerdirect...

OMG Not another thread by Girgy starting with OMG

Get lappy, million times better than any netbook

Do you live in a shoe?

Agreed, I've had 3 Acer's now and they've all been super. They're so much better value. I currently have a 5537 which has the Core 2 Duo proc, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD, seperate graphics card etc and it was 489+vat from staples 8-9 months ago. The equivalent tosh or sony would have been 700+!!

Paul.

More like a shoebox! I need summet with wireless! Can you get desktops that connect wirelessly? I dunno much about it tbh!

the HP pavillions (DV6 and Dv7) are cracking machines. very well put together.

They are seriously heavy though, esp in 17inch format

Yeah you can

Think its to compliment his lappy.
Essential for travelling.

Anymore info plz sir?

My set up is mesh so I can't recommend them more

That's alot of machine for your money,

check out the others

You can get usb sticks for about a tenner that give you a wifi connection

or you can get things like a baby monitor, can't remember what they're called but you plug one in a mains socket by your router and one near your computer and run a cat5 cable from the router into one and from the other into your comp. broadband signal then goes through the mains and you have a hardwired connection without running a cable through the house

Doesnt Brent know about these.

Or my personal favourite. Just get a big fuck off cat 5 cable.

He has a smart phone, right? To complement his netbook? Probably got a calculator watch too. CYBOKIN!!!

for netbooks, the Lenovo S10 ('ideapad') is the business.

Whatever you go for, get one with the Intel Atom Dual Core processor.

He has everything, Kin's dream is to be involved in a scene much like the start of Superman 3.

I've got used to laptops now so think il be getting summet in the £500 range. But when I get my own place in the next few years i think I'd get a desktop then!

I've got a Samsung R730 which i bought from Amazon about 4 months ago. So far so good. It's my first laptop so can't really compare to others. The battery life doesn't seem too brilliant, but, i use mains power mostly anyway. Other than that, i'm well pleased with it so far. It cost me £451 at the time. The prices seem to fluctuate a bit though.

Homeplug.

The netbooks look pretty meh to be honest. 

What's up with this little lappy:

[ ] Funny

Just ordered the HP Pavilion dv7-3101sa Notebook PC!

Tell us how you get on with it. :)up

The weight of Girgy's new laptop is 3.52kg (unpacked weight)
A hefty Brachiosaur could weigh as much as 73 metric tonnes according to the people who find bones and make up these numbers.

If you wanted to make a pile of Girgy's laptops that would collectively weigh the same as a big Brachiosaur after his dinner, you'd need 20,000 laptops. With that many laptops you could use a brand new one every day for over 50 years.

If you were to do the same thing with the worlds heaviest rabbit, you'd run out of laptops within a week.

If he used $20 bills he'd be in space.

if he's fallen off of the pile of bills then how does adding more to that pile stop him hitting the ground? is he using the extra money to buy jetpacks?

This

Sofa's post, like most of Blonde today, makes no sense.

Roflmofocopterations

never thought about that
ummmm
Maybe the manager at the bank was underneath him
with some type of elastic safety net made of $100 bills
that made him bounce back up to a certain angle
that the newly added bills could slide inbetween him and the pile
hence him never hitting the ground
I knew I'd get it in the end.,.,,,

If he was 23 miles up then he'd technically be in space and would therefore not be affected by the earths law of gravity.

Therefore Sofa is right, technically.

But neither would the notes in the top section of the pile, so the pile wouldn't actually make it to 23 miles high.

Scellotape

forget 23 miles.  you're going to have stability problems once you get past the first $50k or so unless you're using something to hold the notes together and you'll be utterly screwed if there's any wind

Stand on a debit card, problem solved!
No space sickness, no stability issues, no sticky tape expenses.

Lol
You're right but was trying for comedy effect. :)

Pretty sure that sattelites still need propulsion at about 90 miles or so to keep from falling to the earth.

New laptop is incred! Takes about a minute from turning it on to getting on net compared to about 8 minutes on my old laptop :D
