hmm i just got this itch to go buy the new laptop i've been thinking about buying for quite some time now. after perusing a few websites, i'd concluded that i could go get it in person at Circuit City for $50 less than it would cost to buy it/have it shipped off the Toshiba website, cause at C.C. it comes with a $50 mail-in rebate. and just as i ( Read more... )

My computer @ home is from 1998.

damn, that was fast :P

but wow.. you should buy a new one. there are some pretty nice desktops that are practically going for free nowadays :-o

I've upgraded it - but yeah, its only ritual sacrifices that keep it running.

I got a free one that i just haven't gotten around to setting up yet. I gotta do that eventually.

mine is from 1999, but i have rebuilt it and just got a new 160 gig hard drive. but yeah, i'm all about impulsive buys, so i say go for it ;)

160 gigs? dayum :P i currently have 40 on this thing and have only 7ish left (hmm i guess 7ish gigs of music, and a lot of photos, some of which come from an 8 megapixel camera don't quite help). and the one i have now has 256 memory and practically everything that's coming out today is 512. plus the one i'm thinking of getting has expandable memory so i could make it realllly fast if i wanted.. but i think 512 would be fine. hmm

i had two 20 gig hard drives and they were constantly full. w/ all the photo and graphic design stuff i do, i had to get a new one. i do need new memory, though. and my cd burner needs to be fixed. but i build this machine at dell and it has been great. though i will get a mac at some point in the next few years.

doyouhearmenow December 30 2005, 18:28:53 UTC

oops that should say BUILT this machine @ dell.

Hah, I'm so inconsistent with money. I would say "buy" but I know I probably wouldn't lol

thespirithotel December 30 2005, 19:01:56 UTC

well, what are the specs and what's the cost?

efg7 December 30 2005, 19:05:37 UTC

click

pretty good for under 900 bucks, methinks. 80 gigs.. 512 memory.. widescreen.. supposed to have really good graphics.. lala, you can read the page :D

It's not bad. I'm not too keen on the Celeron processor though. It's fine for most purposes, but if you do anything processor intensive (i.e. multimedia stuff) it can tax it. So I've been suckered in to the hype, but I'd recommend a Pentium M processor.

Dell has a similarly configured system for $849, shipping extra, I think, with a Pentium M processor:

Put in an 80GB HD and a DVD burner, then use coupon code Z5HJTRN9M8LPDB at checkout for $300 off.

my eyes caught the word "taipei" before i got there, and i was really excited. then, i read the sentence that it was just a game and was slightly disappointing. lol.

like kristen, i can be very inconsistent about buying stuff. like lately i was doing a whole lot of research about digital cameras, but then i went ahead to get my old one fixed. i was also thinking about getting a more powerful palm/pocket pc with wifi. we'll see if i end up getting that...
