New Laptop

[AJ]

My Dell Inspiron E1505 is being deligated to strickly video/photo processing allong with my full time torrent machine. It's been through the ringer and is getting a bit beat up so we wanted something a bit newer and basic to take on more of the daily duty for web surfing, school work, and travel.

We ended up picking up an open box special from TD.

I love the HDMI port, full 10 key, and screen size. It's also SUPER light and thin compared to my dell. The Dell is loaded with tons of shit and cost over $1500 3 years ago to pick up. This one was 1/3 of that. Only thing I need to do is ditch Vista.

Other than not trusting Acer, that is a pretty wild machine. Good find.

Nice! I need to pick-up a new notebook as well, one with a serial port still if I want to tune old school stuff.

You don't really need a serial port. You can just get a USB-serial converter for about $30. Might make your shopping easier if you scratch that off your feature list

Yeah I know. I know "back in the day" those sucked, but it seems now they are good to go, so then anything is open. I will probably get another thinkpad as my T-20 and T-22's were tanks!
