Woot. Flying for pleasure today

Goldcoast here I come

[Leroy Peterson]

is flying a pleasure for you ever? wouldn't a holiday consist of staying home?

Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

I bought a Asus transformer for uni last semester. Shouldn't have.

Zenbooks look the goods. But waiting to see some more Haswell ultrabooks come out before deciding. Touch screens seem nice for W8.

MBP is actually pretty good hardware for your $ (especially if student discount + sale, and I believe you can just upgrade ssd and ram yourself with little difficulty). Depends if you ceebs with the OS though. Trackpad etc is very good, too.

Samsung Series 7, 9 etc do look pretty good as well iirc.

That lamborghini laptop is f**king sweet

[Rekin]

If you want to use on the move get a 13 inch ultra book

Personally I'm looking to move to a Samsung ultra book myself

If you need more power/ screen than an ultra book at home get a tablet and a home system separate

And no idea why ppl think I travel much!!!!!

Hybrid tablet/laptop worth getting or more of a gimmick?

[blah_blah]

hmmm.... you guys think I'll be fine with stock breaks? 1 hard lap then 1 cool down lap in each run?

Think I might stick to deca this year before a tune and brake upgrade.

Stagea brakes the same, better or worse then the GTT? Also how much heavier is your car then mine

I had DBA slotted rotors and street pads and didn't have an issue. Street pads won't last long though

Also depends on the track, Winton not too brake heavy, where as Sandown is.

[Miguelone]

Stagea brakes are more like na skyline/s13 brakes, single sided twin piston fronts, single piston rears

work provides me my laptop (Dell) it's not too shabby either

[bluejeans]

i bought a samsung ultrabook, used it like 4 times in last 6 months - it just gathers dust now.. =/

Dell make good shit and their customer service is awesome. Mine came with a slight scratch on the screen so they sent me a whole new package within a couple of days. Laptop has lasted me nearly 7 years now without a hitch, would def buy again. Even their desktops aren't a huge deal more than getting and building the parts yourself.

[UNR33L]

I also like Dell moreso for business grade stuff if I wanted a gaming PC I'd obviously build it myself

We have like 500 dell laptops across the business and don't get them back that often.

[Birds]

I used my laptop for gaming cause I specced the bugger out. That was back before laptops were known for gaming and a lot of CS players were surprised that someone was beating them from a Dell haha

[emts]

Upper end dell is good esp Alienware stuff

Entry level bad quality

Hybrids

Too gutless for pc too heavy for tablet

As for enjoyable travel

Flights always suck but locations can be good

[blah_blah]

I only use my laptop for internetz & youtube

So my laptop is just some old big hunkedy junk

Coincidentally I think it is a Dell

[Odium]

I've been using my Tablet (Asus Nexus 7) more and more recently, hardly ever pull out the laptop at home now unless I'm doing srs business...

[Miguelone]

My laptops a Dell XPS 15 L501x, specced it pretty decent a couple of years back so it's still half decent.

Core i7 Q740

6gb ram

Geforce GT435M 2gb

640gb hdd

1920x1080 screen

Found a 20% discount voucher online which got me Win7 Ultimate & extended warranty while keeping under budget ($1700)

Dells warranty and customer service is good but you're really best off getting an extended warranty. Have had 3 hard drives die on me, the current one they swapped from Western Digital to Toshiba though and it's still going strong. Also had the the power plug break on me a bunch of times, this is due to shitty design as it's only held on by 1 small screw attached to it by a small weak mounting point. Battery only just lasted longer than the 1 year battery warranty too . Apart from that though it's been pretty good. Dell parts are cheap & readily accessible(3rd party) after warranty runs out too.
