Thinking about getting a laptop. This one strikes my eye and is in my price range.
Thoughts about the i5 and Graphc card combo? Looking to use source on it. It should take it. but this isn't my main computer. So it's just a portable thing I can map on. HD speed sucks but for the price I can always upgrade later.

You should have gone for a Toshiba or Dell. But Acer is good too.

hahaha, my old shitty dell is pretty good xD

Its cheaper than Toshiba, but lasts. Not sure about newer models, since every one i know is either a Toshiba maniac or has one of those Eee shitz.

I just got an Acer and it's been serving me well so far

This thing is legit. No regrets thus far.
Built in Wireless-n card too =] definitely happy about that.
Now i just need a wireless n router.

And.... every single dell I've dealt with had problems. Serious problems.

It's running windows 7 dude.
Its seriously the least fucked up and most operational operating system that Microsoft has ever released.

Vista is dead. Long dead.

XP had its early pitfalls. From my experience, win7 has been smooth sailing from the get-go

Old computers are best.
Like I've said before, I stay primitive.
I don't like laptops, and my computers from 2003.

On that statement, I'm holding you to not complaining that you have outdated equipment ;)

It's more like everybody else complains.

EXAMPLE: You all wanted me to have high resolutions, map for source, and update my equipment. I like what I have, I'm find with it. It's tolerable enough for me.

windows 7 is backed by anime commercials. Always trust those.

I'm thinking soup would hit just about any 3rd-party generic off-brand character.

v_v .. I'm too fluffy for such a masculine conversation. It's going to end up with my only leg to stand on crossbow-ed onto the wall behind me.

@captain terror - the women I'm most likely to get with are the types you can install lcd screens into the back of their heads. The bag wouldn't be necessary at this point.
