SBFX,

Thats what I call a fully loaded machine!! What on earth do you do with the 1 gig of RAM? Music softwares?

I initially hated laptops...until I got myself one (after rams went higher). Cant use a desktop ever now

sbfx · 21st December 2004, 11:30

Hey GTO,

Well I had a fully loaded desktop with almost exactly the same specs which I used for a lot of encoding movies/music and sometimes my friends came over to make music on the comp (for my lable). There were about 3 comps my server, desktop and HTPC. So I sold my desktop and HTPC to raise the money and got myself this laptop and never looked back.

Satyam.

Rehaan · 21st December 2004, 11:39

ps - i was actually *required* to buy this system by my college... but if i had a choice i would have tweaked it slightly differently....

sbfx · 21st December 2004, 12:47

Hey Rehaan,

Yes the 6in1 card reader is built into the laptop and yes the battary dies out on me in just over a hour, but then I dont consider this machine a true laptop (its too bloody heavy when compared to a centrino) rather a convenient desktop

.

Rehaan · 21st December 2004, 14:50

Hey sbfx,

"convienient desktop" lol.... thats what i would have opted for if i were to choose a laptop as well......
On the other hand my battery lasts for 4 hours!!

May i ask about your "label".. any samples?

You dont have to feel too humble with this configuration dude... Pentium M rocks... 1.7 is a very good spec. Also the added advantage of longer battery life, wireless capabilites, thin low profile nature of laptops are to be taken into consideration.
It all dipends, if u **too mobile** then u got to have the centrino.... It rocks.

Rehaan · 21st December 2004, 15:07

Gkrish,

I actually do like my laptop a LOT :P

the only bummer is the 60GB... but i will upgrade that soon....
Bluetooth and wifi are heaven sent... especially at college where i can just jump onto the internet from anywhere at anytime.
