My New Laptop

Post by Master Jedi »

Since someone asked...here are the specs on my new laptop. I only got 256 MB of RAM because I can get it cheaper than ordering it with the assembly. I stepped down on the hard disk, cuz face it--no one needs a 40 gigs of HD space on their laptop when they have 100 gigs or so in their desktop. Went from DVD/CD-RW combo to the 8X DVD...I'm thinking about buying an external DVD burner I can use with both the laptop and my desktop. 14.1" screen cuz it's a half-pound lighter than the 15" ones and I'll be carrying the thing a lot to and from school.

CTO Pavilion ze4500 series notebook
- Athlon(TM) XP-M 2600+ 2.0GHz
- Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Home
- 256 MB(1X256)DDR SDRAM
- 20 GB 4200 RPM Hard Drive
- WordPerfect(R)/Quattro Pro(R)

- Built in 56K Modem&10/100 LAN
- 14.1" TFT XGA (1024 x 768)

You beat me to the punch bighead. It would be nice to know how prices have changed in... 1 month... Actually it won't be nice at all... I don't want to know.

~$600 shipped

I was looking at various other things. Tablets are cool, but a little on the expensive side. As laptops get smaller, the keyboard quality starts to suck too. (Hard to fit all those keys in such little space) I saw a really nice laptop with a wide screen in circuit city. IT HAD A NUMBER PAD (a rarity in laptops...i was hoping to find a cheap laptop with a numpad)

No... No...

Why would I kill someone... someone that paid LESS then HALF of what I PAID for a system 3/4 of MY system....

You think I have another $600 to spend on a hitman or get a plane ticket to where he lives?!?!

Damn. I been unistalling software and delteing files left and right to keep at least 1.5 gigs free. It was not really a problem until this year when I had to install a lot of stuff for school that just ate up hard drive space so some games had to go. Cds had to be burned. I deleted and uninstall over 8 gigs worth of stuff so far. so curretnly I have 5 gigs free but I am not sure how much longer that will last

I have two hard drives, a 180 GB and an 80 GB, and I'm thinking about upgrading my 80 cuz my shit is getting full. Ohh and save your jokes, the only porn I have is the Libby Hoeler videos and thats only like 100 KB
