For once I agree with Gabbe.


Great news, got my new laptop at last.

HP Pavilion
17.3" screen
1600x900 resolution
4GB DDR3 RAM
500 GB HDD
Blu-Ray Disc Drive w/ SuperMulti Burner
1GB ATI HD Graphics Card
Full 101 Key Keyboard
Windows 7 64 Bit
Intel Duo Core Processor (2.23GHz)

Insanely nice, very large laptop that makes me feel like a kid again!!! Very good deal for its price of $1000 (with taxes and environmental fees). The processor isn't the best, but its way better than my 1.87GHz last one and good enough for me. I'd like to update to an i5 or i7 sometime. Anyone know much about how that works?
It is ok...  ::)
-------Laptop
Nice!  ::) Even though when you first told me you were going to buy a laptop, the laptop I reccemonded to you had similar specs...  ::) Intel Duo Core? Like Pentium or what...  ::)
Yeah, updating to i5 or i7 would be nice...hmm....  :|  :thumbup:
Gratz.  :O
Now Military can be updated...  ::) ::) ::)

I would go for a i5 if you game, but go i7 if you play 5 games at once...
I tested glest in the highest settings, and easily reached my max frame rate! I also played through assault cube, Nexuiz, and Scorched3D at the highest settings at 1600x900 resolution with flawless gameplay. I'm in love. Dunno why anyone would want to play FIVE games at once though.

"You know what, I'm bored with CoD at the moment, I'll switch to pong for a few seconds for the increased thrill then switch back to blowing brains out. And maybe some tetris and a quick level of Glest too..."

oh god, were can i get one? if i don`t mess up with the currency, thats 60000NOK
Assuming I have the currency right, that's abhout 5 300 NOK. HOWEVER, this was refurbished AND on sale. I'd be hard pressed to find it cheaper. It's a HP Pavilion d7 (Can't remember the exact name... Stupid 5 digit Alphanumeric mixtures. You'd think manufacturers could name their stuff better).

Yeah, I know the processor isn't all that good, but my tests have had all shown it quite nice, and it is better than my last, and not all that much worse than the i5 of a different computer I saw.

Yep. I need a few more days to finish installing programs and getting it all ready (makes me feel like a kid again! :D :D :D), but then, yes, it's back to military.

Oh yeah from the personal message
Quote
For specs, I'd prefer a 32 bit OS because I'm more familiar with them and I have NO 64 bit programs and doubt I'll go beyond 4 gigs of RAM. My minimum specs are:

200 gig HDD, preferably 250+
roughly 15" screen, not too large though, but not too small either
ATI graphics card, I'll really have to look up more specifics on this
Wireless N built-in WiFi reciever
At least 4 USB ports (I use every one on my current laptop)
Battery life of at least 2 hours, preferably 3+
2+ gigs RAM (DDR2 or DDR3)
I guess you changed your mind...eh?  :O
---------------
hmm...too bad you can't buy US laptops...some are really good deals  ::)
Like this one...I think. http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/load_configuration.do?destination=review&config_id=4751882&aoid=35252
Then use use coupon code NBSP336958 ... total price 949.99 US... so like 975.26 Canadian...or..dollars or whatever  ::)
What is weird is this is like same specs, besides the i7 processor and the Nvidia Card...  :| oh well...  ::)
Also that

Bout the processor, as long as it isn`t bottlenecking your graphics card it is good enough.

Say, here's a good discussion idea: What are your favorite firefox addons?

I'll go with web designer and firebug for sheer usefulness, as well as dTa! simply for awesome downloads as well as FireFTP for managing my site (when the host is working :(). Personas was a great addon, but now its a standard part of firefox (NICE!). You guys?

Firefox Addons
I like WOT... Web Of Trust... I guess it is good and bad  ::)

IE Tab, Original, too bad it is not updated... oh well I do not have use for it anymore...when I do I'll uninstall it and try out the Coral IE Tab...  :|
fireFTP useful...

Personas, cool that now it is built in I guess

UnPlug, a "Video Grabber" mainly flash I think

Dictionary, if not included...

And a lot more...that I like...but don't have since I don't use it a lot...  ::)

Firefox is great. It isn't the only one that is good though...  ::)  :O

IE SUCKS. Period.   :-X

How the hell? do you know how fast Windows 95 and Windows 2000 is? i can actually argue that these OSes were optimized to the extreme.
