Gonna Buy Me A Laptop

binxgook · 2005-08-28, 05:13 PM

Hey guys and gals. The wife and I are gonna be picking up a laptop pretty soon here. I would probably use it to do the porn biz and she would take over the p.c.

Anybody have any reccomendations for a good one?

Couple of things that I would like different on my laptop (Acer Aspire 1355):

More than 512MB RAM.
7200 RPM harddrive. The standard one is painfully slow.

Other than that I really like it.

I use an older version of this
http://www.apple.com/powerbook/index17.html

Plenty fast for Photoshop and video apps. It runs two monitors (built-in 17" plus a 22" CRT) when I'm home at the office along with a full size keyboard and mouse. Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth. I get close to 3 hours on a battery when I'm on the road. Plus no worries about viruses, worms, or spyware.

Also nice having *nix under the hood for things like running rsync for nightly backups of my servers and stuff like that.

It can also take a huge cup of coffee dumped all over it and still keep ticking... just a little stickier.....

I was distracted by a giant pair of boobs. It's all your wife's fault.
