just get that stupid new "my phone is a computer, my computer is a phone" thing they've got now. They hope you never lose it.
Those are awesome and will be the future. Lose it? Pfft. Remote wipe and/or PIN # with intrusion lockout.

and all your data? Unless you have a constant backup to the cloud....

WELL NO crap!

CNS, did you spend too much on gold shovels?

No, but all I do on my home laptop is bbs with you retards, twitter, and espn.com so no need to pay much.

Gold shovels were "free"

Woot has been selling some refurbished HP's for real cheap. I got a 15" for $179. Has something like 3meg mem, 60 gig hd, dvdrw/cdrw, 2.2mhz processor. It isn't by far the best you can buy, but if you are just doing spreadsheets and such, it is fantastic.
Bought mine 3 weeks ago, but have seen it for $199 three times since.

CNS, thanks for your input, but know that I am willing to spend an extra $1k soley to not look like a loser at the airport. ok, bye.

Gotcha.

Now sell me your 360 for $50

Don't do this, steve dave. You will be mocked/laughed at.

steve dave · « **Reply #61 on:** March 25, 2011, 10:14:09 AM »

Not being mocked is pretty much the #1 thing I'm looking for in a laptop. also that thing is ugly.

Not exactly your specs, but you'll be the coolest kid on the block and that's all that really matters

Lots of laptops being replaced

stevedave does not seem like a "gamer" to me.
He seems like the kind of guy that would need to carry around a usb mini-mouse in his laptop case because "he doesn't like the trackpad"

The Samsung looks cool, but $1700 is a lot for those specs. That laptop would be about $600 if it wasn't super lightweight/cool looking.
