Yeah, I wouldn't have paid full price for my Sony. The support is awesome, but I never had problems out of my Acer laptop, which was cheaper than the Vaio's full price (again not the price I paid).
The temperatures were just awesome last night for sleeping, with the windows open. Now if I could just sleep better it would be even greater. Today was errand day. We are getting ready for a trip to see my wife's son family in Texas. They were kind enough to buy bus tickets for us. We leave next Monday AM. I picked up at the dollar store a small grater with a bin. I though would great for grating shave sticks.
It is from what I have seen I dont have the i7 one but we have to imacs and the 17 inch pro and it does well with the battery.
Okay, I just spent the last hour reading reviews of this machine. It is very expensive! But, I can swing it right now. A few different testers saw nearly 8 hours of battery life out of it.
In that case its more machine than you really need, you could go with http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MC371LL/A?mco=MTc0Njg1OTY and it would be more than enough for what you are going to do.
Sorry to change the subject from computers, but I'm really enjoying my cup of tea right now. Blended locally by this place.
BACON!!! I've owned a used mac and went to a mac-only university and been neighbors to/ friends with multiple mac fanboys. I know they're good machines. But they're also major league hipster status symbols. Just like BMWs/ Mercedes are good cars but also status symbols. I can't afford one and I don't care about being cool. Comes with being a dad to two little ones. +1 on the Asus. and Sony, unlike Mac, goes on sale every now and then. Acer's basically the same thing as Asus if I understand right.
If we are talking laptops. This is what I want: http://www.originpc.com/eon15-gaming-laptop-features.asp
Facebook: "Your account is full, please purge older content." Me: "fine, delete all... what? there isn't a delete all and I have to delete them post by post.. byte me."
I don't know.. its kind of scary to think of what Micah will photoshop with that combination. I can't believe (OK I can) all the steps Facebook makes you go through to deactivate your account.. The plug is pulled. Now, what accounts can I delete next?
I'm not so sure....I think resurrecting Elvis searching for surf-porn might just be the critical ingredient to world domination....or at least dominatrix of the world....
:happy096 One of these days I'm gonna do it, too. Maybe. It's just the best way I get to keep in regular contact with my brother and sister and now their kids eek. I have to keep reminding myself that my one nephew is 15. Especially when I see some of the stuff he posts on FB.
