World’s First Mini-Billboard for Laptops

1400×1050 15″ screen. This was the main thing. I know that I want a high resolution screen if I can get it and there’s not much better than the LCD on the 600m.

All the Dell extras: DVD+R burner, centrino, up to 2GB of memory, large hard drives – or the cheap version of all those if you want to save cash.

With a 1.6 Ghz processor and a spare battery that I use in place of the disk drive when I’m on the road I can work on my laptop constantly for six hours or more before plugging in. That includes watching movies and everything.

It’s light, it’s powerful, it has a big screen, it has excellent battery life. What more?

The best bit is that for a few bills (150 in my case) you can get a few years of Complete Care, which shakes AppleCare or any other plan like a crying baby. I get 3 years of coverage for spills, surges, bangs, drops, or any other accident. (The web site mentions not intentionally destroying it, and then mentions hammer marks. DO NOT HAMMER THIS BOX!)I have also found Dell’s service to be a lot less painful than Apple’s. I like my computer a lot, and know I can party hardy with it, even if it is about as sexy as Granny Panties. Of course, if you arent a broke loser like me, I know a few folks who got mega-slick Dell’s for less than a powerbook, and got the rockin warranty to boot.

This laptop is both large, and light. We all know you like Apple more (:P), and a large monitor can never hurt. It’s thin and light, but also not ugly like my friend’s 12″ mode.

Alienware: Great, but overpriced–and i dare say, even more than powerbooks.
IBM: Time proven and reliable as hell. And I still prefer that little trackball over touchpad when I’m typing. But discontinued, or going to be very soon.
Sony Vaio series: They come with pretty nice softwares. But most of the softwares aren’t worth studying / learning because it’s Sony only. Hardware wise, Sony is overpriced.

I was going to buy a normal 15″ widescreen notebook, then a friend convinced me to try out his tablet, and I was hooked after about 20 minutes.

The fact that I can use it like a normal notebook is great, but some tasks are just so much easier and more fun when using a tablet.

* IMing for one — i can draw little pictures to friends, and handwriting is more personal.
* reviewing work documents — i used to print them out and annotate with a red pen. Now I do it on screen and email the results back.
* Digital doodling — I annotate photos and pictures for friends with the pen.
* Filesystem organising — organising my photo collection and music collection is more fun and intuitive with a pen.

I could go on, but you really should just try it out for yourself.

what sxsw are you talking about?

if you want to run linux, http://www.linux-laptop.net/ is a good research tool.

I think that a light laptop would be ideal, and it has to have good batterylife. Everything else, is just luxury I guess. Everything else are just like an American Muscle, wicked at straight road, worst in the others. :)

Anyway, I do not want to brag, or to advertise, but I am currently have a laptop for sell too, if you are interested, you can contact me through email. I do not like to spam this website with Ads :)

You can get it pretty stripped down (almost barebone) so you start out with:
-15.4 inch widescreen (1280 x 800)
-ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 64mb
-DVD + CDRW or DVDRW
-4 usb 2.0, 1 firewire, SD slot, 1pc card slot

From there, I bought from various places (whoever was cheaper):
-Processer: Centrino 1.7 banias (dorthan wasn’t available at the time of purchase, but you can do 2.0 dorthan now)
-Ram: 2 x 512mb DDR 333
-HD: 60gig 7200rpm hard

That setup cost me $1700 exactly a year ago. Unfortunately, laptop hardware prices didn’t drop much in a year, so I donno how much better you can do.

Around the same time, my friend bought a 15â€� powerbook, and here’s the comparison:

Display: same
Graphic card: same
Ram: same
Thickness: same
Weight: same (as far as we could tell without a scale)
Connectivity: similar, but Asus with a slight edge.
Processor: apples and oranges
Battery life: Asus. It averages 3.5hrs with cd spinning fulltime, which is about 2dvds.
HD speed: Asus faster
Looks: Powerbook is cuter, but Asus looks pretty slick too (black with chrome finishing). However, I’ll give the edge to Powerbook for that damn backlit keyboard.

But the above differences are not much, so it comes down to OS and price. I chose Asus because I needed to run Windows, and several hundred bucks could buy me a whole lot of beer.

I will warn you though that Linux support for ATI Mobility Radeon (on both Asus and Apple) flat out sucks.

I had originally wanted the 15″ thinking that the 17″ would be too big to use comfortably as a portable computer.

My boss ended up getting me a 17″ even though I requested a 15″, and I have been thoroughly pleased with it. It really isn’t any bigger front-to-back than the 15″, it is just longer . But it makes for a nice place to rest my hands when using it in my lap and the screen is just amazing.

Go with the 17″. I would agree with Derek on the Applecare. Laptops are more prone to problems than desktops just because they get moved around so much. Applecare helps take care of ya for the long haul.

No matter which Apple you get :) I recommend the Tucano folder line (i.e. laptop sleeve), as they add an extra level of protection from scratches and look sleek.

Besides being a windows machine, i don’t see any drawbacks (and, ubuntu linux is just a 500mb download away).

I don’t fancy 12″ screens, this one comes with a widescreen 14″ which seems portable enough to me.
