Just snagged a new laptop.
 

Emachines MD 64 3200+, 512ram (replacing next week to 1256), 80gig hd (replacing next week to a 7200rpm), RADEON 9600.

$1399 after rebates. =)

Yes, I know its an Emachines... but they arent the same emachines of past, their manufacturer sells to plenty of the higher "name" brands... and it has a new owner, gateway just bought them out for their consumer side, since gateway is more gov/k12.

Got the extra warranty, but thus far pretty happy... It'll do a 12k on 2001se from futuremark.

Probably the best gaming laptop sub $3k right now, can't beat the price anyways. =)

here, have a c o o k i e

edti, you're trying hard to convince yourself it'll last past 3 months...haha

haha, nice one, ROFL... :thumbsup :1orglaugh

Have fun with it! :thumbsup

That's the fastest laptop on the market right now.

E-Machines builds solid machines now. They were acquired a while back and the new owner completely changed from making low end to making higher quality at great prices.

I bought one for my son. It's great.

I knew there was a reason I loved you KRL. =)

Its nice so far, not doing much with it, until I get the new HD and ram in the mail, so I can make it my primary.

i grabbed the 5310 a few months back..it is a solid machine...not one fuck up yet, and I push that thing to the max

i love my emachines

and oh yeah, unlike dell and gateway...if you open the laptop up, you will find ALL brandname pieces inside....dell and gateway use generics with their name on them

sounds like a smoking deal.

emachines LOL :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I got 3 dells for free from ARS Rewards

cool

well enjoy it - I love my laptop and its been going strong for almost 2 years now. It's a Dell and when it dies I will be lost.

but nothing compares to the big poppa

p4 3.2gig
1gig ram
60gig 7200rpm 8meg cache
dvd burner

not a gaming machine, but an porn editing machine

nice big poppa:thumbsup

Thats nice. =)

I just didnt wanna throw down $3k+ for a p4 with comp specs... even though it'd be better for video editing for me.

I based my decision mainly on the video card. The 9600 rocks. =)

It's nice and slick :thumbsup

Yeah!!!!!


well mine lights up! suckers

Mine eats yours for breakfast, I use it for editing as well.

Pretty.

how is the battery life?

so much for portable.

why is that fowtee so full? :glugglug

because i opened it and took a pic

2.5-3hrs on normal tasks.

Watching dvd around 2hrs.

It looks like this chip power consumption is between a p4 and a centrino, smack in the middle.

Forgot to mention that $1399 after rebates, included an internal dvd burner. =)

Im extremely happy thus far... I almost bought a 17" zd7000 fully stocked, but honestly, thats not really portable.
