Laptop.....??

[mikedc1760]

I love my 12" iBook. The only beef I have with it is that the APE card doesn't go into passive mode and I had to buy an external USB adapter. Other than that it's great.

I dont havce much experience with any of the laptops talked about so far in this thread becuase i have always been an alienware fan and that is all i own is alienware.

Currently i have an Alienware Ares-51m 7700. It has a 17in. display and a full size keyboard with a number pad. It has a built in microphone and 4 USB 2.0 Ports & 2 IEEE-1394 Ports. For a processor it has an Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 560J w/ HT Technology 3.6GHz and 1MB Cache. I have 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SO-DIMM at 533MHz. for a graphics card i have the Raedon x800 with 256m of DDR3 memory. I have 120gig of hardrive space that spins at 7200 rpm. (2-60gig hardrives) and i have a 8X Dual Layer DVD+/-RW / 24X CD-RW. As for the os i run redhat linux 9.0 visual interface, text interface, and 2000pro. i also have a External Wireless 802.11a/b/g PCMCIA Card. The down side to it is it ways 12.5 pounds with the batery, but it doesnt bother me to much becuasse i cary it in my backpack. and i get better performance out of it then alot of desktops that i have seen, although my desktop does perform better but i have 4 gig of memory, 2 amd athlon 64bit chips. 2 30in. lcd displays, and 800 gig of internal hardrive space and a 1.6 terabyte external hardrive. MY laptop is extremely durrable too, i have accidently dropped it twice and it hasnt harmed it at all, and i made a mount for it on the center console in my car and it fits perfect. It is a bit expensive for a laptop like mine (4,521$) but if you can afford it it is well worth the money and wont let you down ever. So as for my opionon i would highly recomend the alienware area-51m 7700

no. you dont have one.

WTF! Dollar signs go at the FRONT! $600.00, not 600.00$! Whatever planet you are from must pay you on monopoly money, and if your laptop is red with a gray screen and has two white knobs at the bottom that move your cursor, you're too leet and better go to another board.

[dementeddemon]

yes i do hace one i would u say thgat i dont you dont have any proof that i dont have one, and if i didnt have one y would i post that i did? my grandpa got it for me for an early birthday present.

I wonder if someone didn't rearrange the keys on your keyboard.

[dementeddemon]

no, noone rearangede the keys on my keyboard, i just got a new one and i am not quite used to it yet becuase i am used to your traditional keyboard, and i just got a new ergonomical keyboard so i am stil getting used to it.

demented demon...riight....lets see some pics of that laptop...

1. I doubt you own a dual proc AMD system...well over the 4k mark
2. I doubt you own a Alienware laptop...well over the 4k mark

judging from your grammar, and other things I will guess your age to be about 15-16.

prove me wrong by....

posting a dmesg from either system
buying me one of the above mentioned computer systems

anyways...

I tend to stick with two companys for laptops either IBM or Toshiba.

I use an older IBM (600) for just random stuff, it has openbsd on it right now.
My Toshi (2415) is used for the more interesting stuff like playing SuperTux.

alienware can suck it, ibm is just quality, when i pick up my ibm even tho it is old, it still feels rugged and powerful. If I was to buy a new laptop today I would hands down get an IBM.

Post something like this...

that is my 8 opteron 100gb of ram computer....oh wait...it is a sparc classic...nvm

i dont have a digital camera or a scanner to scan a pic in there.

Really? You're a wealthy man. Why don't you just take out some money out of one of your bank accounts that currently hold multiple thousands of dollars? Or you can work at your job at the cyber cafe for a few hours, head over to Best Buy and pick yourself up one.

Seriously now; if you're going bullshit at least be consistent.

[dementeddemon]

there isnt a best buy where i live and i have no drivers liscence or i would, this upcoming weekend when i am at my grandpas house i will go and get one take some pics and post them.

[GodMinusOne]

i have no drivers liscence or i would.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but...

i made a mount for it on the center console in my car and it fits perfect.

Dude, just be honest. I can quite honestly tell you that no one here gives a fuck what you do have or what you don't have. The only reason people are "picking" on you is a) because we're bored, and/or b) for the comic factor on what you're going to come up with next. Honesty is the best policy... although you may have dug your grave so deep now that it'd almost be impossible to build a trust factor with anyone on these boards and/or within the community.

[dementeddemon]

dude, i have a fucking car, i just have no drivers liscense, i know lots of poeple that have cars and no drivers liscense.

[ck3k]

you could just dmesg > dmesg.txt and post that....screen I believe also allows for screen shots.

there is no other device involved

[mikedc1760]

i know lots of poeple that have cars and no drivers liscense.

*Thinks about that comment and feels like I did something wrong in life* Why in the fuck would you have a car yet you don't have a drivers license do drive the car? It defeats the whole purpose.

[ck3k]

To sum up the thread and hopefully try and bring it back or at least to a conclusion....it was more or less Toshi or IBM for a laptop as a side note both do have kernel level hardware support which is nifty.
