Nightcrawler Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Yep Ben is right - I am in the older part of Northgate (which is 10 years old), and whilst we have optical fibre to the RIMs, that is it. It is indeed Lightsview that will have Fibre-to-Node, while we are stuck in the dark ages. I need to make friends with someone in Lightsview and put up a wireless antenna to run me off.

Dohmar Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I like this alothttp://www1.ap.dell.com/au/en/home/noteboo...896198925349102 theyre a nerds wet dream... if i still had a world of warcraft habit i'd want one for sure im hanging out for the asus eee 1215n or the 1218. similar specs on both but the 1218 has this gorgeous aluminium housing that ends up being very very thin 1215n details : http://www.electronista.com/articles/10/07...ational.launch/ has an nvidia ion2 platform so should be decent on the entry level 3d which is pretty much all i want. the 1366x768 resolution is very nice 1218 details ; http://nexus404.com/Blog/2010/04/29/asus-e...ts-on-the-rear/ At this stage the laptop is vapourware but I'm still hoping they bringit out or at least have an eta within 2 months.. -D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/173/#findComment-5344603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Import S13 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) QUICK! I know i just bought a new laptop a few weeks ago but now I need another one. I need something, thin and light weight but with an ok sized screen (15" give or take an inch) I'll just be using it for watching movies, downloading movies and just looking on the net. I have an external hard drive so HDD size doesn't bother me too much but I dont want something too shit. Was looking at the MacBook Pro? But other then an iPhone I dont know anything about Mac's. I can only take 10kg on the helicopter so my computer now is abit too heavy so need something else and I have to get it by tomorrow (Wednesday)! cheers Edited July 13, 2010 by Import S13 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/173/#findComment-5345040 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Import S13 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Steve, unfortunetly my work gives me next to no notice for when they are flying me out. Sometimes less then 24 hours like they did to me the other night as I thought I would have had time cause I was meant to head out on the 19th. They emailed me and changed it to the 15th so I was strapped for time to find something quick But, looks like they have changed me back to what I was on before so not in so much of a rush as I'll be leaving on the 19th again :S Cheers for the info, I'm going to go check out the ASUS model up from the one you showed. The ASUS K52JC-EX128V. I should also add, that my work is covering the bill for this but has to be within reason and I need to have the screen size of around 15" for work reasons which I forgot to add haha not just for movies The computer can be pretty basic it's just a back up incase something happens on the rig, I'll just be running off their systems, which is pretty basic in itself.

typevu Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 How reasonable is "within reason"? I think the Alienware stuff is pretty reasonable Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/173/#findComment-5346415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Import S13 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 haha, one of the questions i had in the interview was, do i play computer games. i dont play them so i said no. funny as if i got an alienware one and gave them the proof of purchase with all the information lol. i think they have a problem with people playing computer games rather then doing their work as there is no bosses around ever haha.

Nightcrawler Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 For those into Alienware: http://www.graysonline.com/sale.aspx?id=21...ith%20Core%20i7 These auctions pop up from time to time .... You also have to factor in a 15% buyers premium and shipping on top though.

They had the 80Gb one on Catch of the Day a few months back for $300 - the wife rang me and asked if I wanted one and I said NO - what was I thinking? The trouble is I have around 200 Wii games that I don't have time to play - how would I find time for a PS3?

typevu Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I've got a PS3 - its awesome, greatest exclusive everrrrr - MGS4. I've got a Wii aswell - girlfriend loves it and it has some pretty damn good multiplayer games. I've had an Xbox 360 Pro but sold it for the PS3 and I've got an Xbox 360 Elite a few weeks ago and am now selling it... nuff said.

Madaz Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Andrew you bugger those Alienware laptop's look great yeah i don't bother with console's because i have a decent PC and im happy to fiddle around and get things working unlike console owners just want to put a disc in and it works Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/108819-computer-jargon/page/173/#findComment-5350132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1LV3RTRACKS Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Speaking of Alienware, I like that they are owned by Dell. Dell tech support just works as in they give you a new replacement computer if you ask hard enough if issues arise. +1 Madaz, I鈥檓 with you on that one even though I have an original 60GB PS3 sitting downstairs connected to my Bravia. Use it more as a Blu Ray player and a media streamer than a games console.
