Im in love! This is my first wireless computer. My family has two PC's, but my parents restrict me from using theirs. My XPS desktop is located in the living-room and my parents always get mad at me when I stay up late. Now I can stay up as late as I want in the comfort of my bed. Sad thing is, this laptops graphic card is better than my PC's. Now I can increase the time I spend on Codex!

That thing costs $2399 from Dell...are you crazy/rich/both?

Nice laptop anyway, personally I'd have just got a desktop with similar stats for cheaper.

Wow that's nice
Yeah most laptops have wireless now, defeats the point of laptops if you have to have then wired up

[Axy]

my wireless router is in my room. so even if I got a wired laptop, I can just hook it up to the router

Actually I had enough coupons to get it 40% off. Plus I got a free Dell DJ Dityy. It was paid with some money from my parents, all my xmas money, and $500 of my own money. The deal was if waited after Christmas, I could get it! I was going to go with a destop, but I figured a laptop would be better for instance if I wanted to tranfer images off my camera away from home. Im pleasently surprised with its gaming abilities so I can play games on the road.

My parents put 500 of their money into it and my grandparents paid the rest. Basicly this laptop will have to last me for 4 years or untill I get put of high school. My parents and grandparents both thought it would be a good idea to have one. Luck for me, I was able to convince them this was the one to buy.

Oh I heard that for several years before I got this. Im trying not to use it too much, but its hard not to.

Excellent graphics card. Processor fails, though.

Ive heard of that happening. Do you know how severe the fails are?

[Anonehmoose]

Nooooo.... fails as in, isn't good.

[Martin]

Nooooo.... fails as in, isn't good.

I know. I meant our they completly destroyed or fixable? How severe is the damage caused by the fail?

[Anonehmoose]

I don't understand. Sorry.

[Silk]

I think a processor fail isn't nothing major, just simply restart right?

[Anonehmoose]

When I said the processor fails, I ment it was bad! Rubbish! Not good!

Not that it literally fails!

Yea thats what I mean. If it fails is my computer going to be screwed.

EDIT: Oh ~smacks head~ I see what you meant..

Haha I feel so silly

[Martin]

You and me both. I heard on a forum somwhere that their Intel M failed. THis really got me worried be because I thought something might really be wrong.

[Anonehmoose]

I should've said it failed in comparison to the computer (which basically means that it doesn't live up to the high expectations of the laptop's other parts), it was my fault, didn't make myself clear.
