| ______________________________________ [Aug 13,2008 9:37am - the_reverend ""] if they put this into a 15"... it's not just te video ram. they have turbo memory, 8GB of ddr3, and a quadcore in a laptop. Plus, a wacom. amazing. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 13,2008 10:00am - ouchdrummer ""] thing would make a rediculas recording laptop. With all that virtual memory you could record probably 30ish tracks at once, all with a great sample rate. Uhhhh...... home recording would be silly good. |

You can get 'em for $800 on sale and they outlast any dell or Crapintosh. Their only real weakness is the keyboard. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 13,2008 10:38am - the_reverend ""] and the mouse and the hard drive and the RAM slots and the motherboard. all things that I had to have replaced 2 or more times on my IBM. |

| _____________________________________________________ [Aug 13,2008 11:21am - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Holy fucking shit. That's awesome. What's the battery life though? 10 minutes? Also, did you see the specs of the vid card? That thing's internets must be FAAAAST. |
