Went w/the XPS 16. HP or Sony could've had the sale if they hadn't inserted that douchey key between the 'A' and the Shift. Macs are beautiful and way, way cool, but the Blu-ray option on the Dell was just too tempting.

Thanks to everybody who gave their input - I really, really appreciate it guys!

Now I just need to figure out a way to reduce the glare from its fucking screen!

nooooo!


Get an FW series!

tons 'o RAM
Xbrite full HD LED backlit display! anti-glare gloss!
Blu-ray
HDMI out

and a full left shift key!






and VAIO sexayness!

widescreen

A/V mode: allows you to play music, view pictures and watch video WITHOUT the need to boot Windows

That Dell could stop traffic with its looks.


Not in the good way.



You can get a dope VAIO FW for under $1500. Even as low as $900 if you shop well.

JerseyKRS said:

Does it have a backlit keyboard option?

And can you scroll using the touchpad?

Ace said:

no backlit keys.

but yes, you can scroll by swiping your finger up/down and left/right on the trackpad.

JerseyKRS said:

It is fucking TEMPTING. Obviously, it's, like, way, way hawter than El Uggo.

Ace said:

like, different area codes my man.

get a usb light and you're good to go.

The screen alone is worlds better.

JerseyKRS said:

I certainly don't need one but

I WANT IT!!!!!

Jers get a fuckin' job at Sony already ya friggin' pitchman... DAYUM!!

I tried to do just that a year ago, they weren't hiring.

resubmit your resume with a link to this thread, you're a shoe-in!!

Macbook. A little more expensive but they are problem free and last forever so it's worth the extra $$$

If you prefer to stay with Windows, get an Asus laptop. I have one with a very stripped down, bloat ware free version of Windows XP. It's a fast, cheap lil sucker and I've only had 1 problem with it in 2 years.

Ace said:

honestly, once you use a multi touch trackpad on a macbook, you'll wonder how you ever got around without it. It absolutely destroys a scroll bar for speed and ease of use. Next level shit!

Not to mention backlit keyboard..

I'm still trying 2 figure out why anypne would want a PC when they have the Mac as a choice.....

Graycap23 said:

Well, for one thing, you can't get Blu-ray on a Mac.

Ace said:

USB/Firewrie External unit.

Graycap23 said:

All well and good with a desktop, but kinda defeats the purpose with a laptop, no?

Also, there's always like, 'The Mac version of the software is tentatively slated for...'.

Don't get me wrong: my first computer was a Mac, they're beautiful machines and the new touchpad is awesome. Just too many other issues.

Go with what your heart desires.....I always do.

Graycap23 said:

My ex is always like, "You are totally a Mac person - what are you doing with a PC?".

Ace said:

U digging the pc?

Graycap23 said:

There are obviously things I prefer about a Mac (certainly the aesthetics), but it's a case of practicality.

Ace said:

I understand. I use both depending on what I'm trying 2 get accomplished.

Graycap23 said:

The best of both worlds! Lucky you!

lol.....
