@Computer Geeks - My new Laptop

Looks AWESOME!!! Like Kevan said, I love the XPS skins. :cool:

I have a Mac Book Pro that I never used... paid $3000 for it, and was going to sell it. :( :dontknow: Just couldn't get used to OS-X. :mad: My Mom and dad bought it from me, and I guess they love it! :eek: Plus, I haven't had to go over there to de-virus their computer in over a year! :rock: :nurse: :D

My Thanksgiving holiday was spent pulling MASSIVE AMOUNTS of garbage and spyware and virusBS off of my Mom's laptop.
How much? Well, when I first started there were over 350 processes running at idle.
When I left, there were less than 20.
It was so fast, she thought it was a whole new machine. :D

I had the same experience with my dad this last holiday. I spend a ton of time fixing his network and cleaning his machines of all the crap. He had so much crap on his machine he had no idea about.

Some times I wonder if a MAC would be better. I spend so much time cleaning things up these days. I wonder if a less high profile OS would be good for the home user. MAC's don't suffer from all the attacks that the MS OS has to deal with.

I'm thinking about getting a MAC Book to see how it runs. One thing I have on my home network is a firewall device to keep all the shit off my home network. Most people don't do this.

Just frustrated. I hate hackers. We spend too much time dealing with them. They suck ass.

I bought Sarah a HP 17" Laptop (with the full keyboard, and the new AMD dual-core processor) a few months ago... It's (surprisingly) a VERY nice machine! :dontknow: :) And we got it on sale at Office Depot for $650! :rock: :rock: :rock: The only thing that sucks, is it has Vista on it.... :(

Most of it was courtesy of ESPN. My brother and his son have spent a lot of time at their place, and that's their favorite site.
The rest of it, as you said, comes from seemingly innocent sites like MSNBC, TVGuide, etc.

I don't think my mom knows what porn is. :D

You kids are so gullible. ;)

Bet your Mom is ten or 15 years younger than me...what's her name again???:D
 
i have run 2 alienware machines side by side with dells they are much nicer as far as comparison and i have tried many of the machines on the market and they just don't hold a match to the alienwares.

Roy- that would make you 80 or 85.
Nice try. :)
 
Well, on my way out to blow some snow...I may feel 80 or 85 when I get back in!

If I don't reappear here in two hours send the warming crew!

Roy out! (in the cold)
 
Roy? Where are you? ROY!!!??

:D:D:D:D



I have an Alienware laptop that is faster than most desktops....
When I bought it in 2004, it was the only laptop on the market that would run Doom 3 and Farcry! It's still a very nice machine, although I need a new harddrive for it. (I wasn't paying attention to the amount of dust created by the renovation of my kitchen, and the dust clogged the vents for the fan and cooked my HD!:eek:)


I am a tinkerer, so the Microsoft OS works for me, plus it runs my games! If I were an artist, or a simpleton, I would probably run a MAC too! :D;)

What Alienware machines are you comparing to which Dell's? Because Project Warmachine's Elite LC is one of the fastest things out.

Further more, the XPS M1730 destroys the m9750 in almost every bench I've read at resolutions the laptop itself will support (no external monitor). In addition to that, the version I purchased has the new 8700m's which given the same power have taken out even the masterful 360's benches.

Here's only a single comparo of 20 I could bring up when I googled this comparison. In every test, The Alienware box benches higher in F.E.A.R., but NO other application.

If you're talking about Alienware desktops, fine... but they are nowhere near the "only choice" in the current 17 and 19 inch laptop selections.

All the SLI 1730s have the physics engine.

Enhanced graphics with NVIDIA® SLITM technology and AGEIA PhysXTM Mobile TechnologyTM

Grats on your purchase... yeah, it will be a while before I get mine as well.
