Nice, I've also went with the desktop to laptop change. Got a compaq Presario v5000... not the best but pretty damn good and after rebates was only $500 :)

Burn your important shit and in 2 years get a lappy...

Nice buy, seems more and more people are going with laptops these days.

I got the same thing just the other day...if your actually working and not gaming its more than enough:)

Sony Laptops are really cool :D
expensive also....

£650 it cost me, $'s are about double.

You only live once, and you can't take your money with you right ?, might aswell treat yourself now and again.

very nice, I didnt the desktop to a laptop change a few years back and I am very happy with it.

Sony VAIO is always good and quality choice

ewwww sony. i bought a dell for just under $4000 and its amazing.

I hope you got a free blowjob with that :thumbsup

nice one!
my first laptop was Intel 086 Cpu, no HDD, 2x 5" floppy drives, modem 9600

it cost near 2k$ that time

Were Adam and Eve just starting out then :1orglaugh ?

nice one mate :)

my last laptop weighed over 5kg.. was CRAZY.

now i bought a sony vaio sz, 2gb memory, core duo 2.16 processor (upgradable to core2 duo 2.33 might do it later when chips get cheap). and its faster than my desktop (3.6ghz p4).. by a lot. and weighs only 1.69kg.

Nice.I would also one buy laptop when i will start traveling around world.Now i have 5 computers at home at this present moment i dont have need for laptop.

Nice choice. Sony is the best!

Sony is good

Very nice, you will have so much pleasure of it!

Sony VAIO is the best

I have Sony Vaio. I like it very much. But yesterday was checking the viruses....OMG.
Of course it has nothing to do with Sony. The note is great!

any pics on your............

Im not sure but I learned DOS on it and even played some games on CGA monochrome lcd. It also comes with inkjet KODAK printer which supports only 4 fonts.

:pimp

looks pretty good

nice buy...really nice looking :)

I have always had them...nice choice

Mr. Romance

i just bought dell inspiron 1300, Intel 1.7GHz M, pretty inexpensive, yet very good...

lucky you! i had hercules mono monitor, and i had to use "simcga". though, i had a really fast cpu, Intel 80286, the whole 16 MHz! :pimp

you should have upgraded to xp pro....

Grats.. decent specs on it

good choice on the sony, they are always good.

Except for their crappy software, their dumbtarded scroll wheel, and their construction.

Other than that, they're gold.

Grats on the lappy

Very nice,congrats,i am looking these days to get one new for me :)

Thanks all.

Looks like i should have made the change sooner, you've all got one already.

welcome to 2006 :)

cool laptop, i bet i can get one also

I think I'll switch to a Macbook pro soon, using PC now

thats also going to be my new one, it rocks :)

that is cool but i prefer alienware they have some good stuff.

i just did the switch too. i got this one.

Congrats on the new laptop. It is amazing how fast technology is going

yeah.. i have 2 desktop right now.. and tomorrow i will buy laptops so i can work even if im away from home.. nice laptop btw

I too changed over to using laptops, i still use 1 desktop, in my office. But what finally got me into the laptops is the wifi capability, every airport, hotel, coffee shop has free wifi access. Most of NYC and Vancouver have a free wifi signal, allmost everywhere in the city. I have a new Dell and it picks up wifi signals easy, however i have a friend with the new Apple ibook and found the wifi pick-up on it was weak.

that sucks.

Sony VAIO is a good buying!

Nice config:winkwink:

nice laptop, good selection.

Nice specs but I would of waited for windows Vista it's only a couple months away.

Nice laptop indeed
specs are good enough for normal usage i'd think

I also switched from desktop to laptop several years ago.
I've been thinking about getting a new one, but it's not really easy :)
3 years ago I bought a very high-end DELL laptop, was almost 4K (don't know what i smoked that day LOL, never gonna spend that much on a laptop again)
still doing a good job, but the battery only lasts for like 15 minutes anymore, and the hinges of the screen broke (pretty common with dell i've read)
Not gonna spend money on replacing those parts.

I love the look of those VAIO ones
but the cheap ones have a "slow" harddrive 4200rpm
the more i see what i like, the higher the price gets :1orglaugh
