Ramblings #13 New Laptop Specs

I am still planet bound, not by choice however...

My trusty laptop appeared not so trusty after all. I had intended to buy a new laptop in January but with my current laptop requiring £200 worth of repairs I spend the extra budget to buy a laptop now.

The specs;

Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™2 Duo Mobile P9700 (2.80GHz) 1066MHz FSB/6MB L2 Cache

Memory (RAM)
4GB CORSAIR DDR3 1066MHz SODIMM - LIFETIME WARRANTY!

Operating System
Genuine Windows Vista™ Home Premium 32-bit + Windows 7 Upgrade Voucher Bluetooth &

Infrared Options
INTEGRATED BLUETOOTH ADAPTER

Memory - Hard Disk
160GB SERIAL ATA II 2.5" HARD DRIVE WITH 16MB CACHE (7,200rpm)

DVD/BLU-RAY Drive
2x SATA BLURAY ROM + 8x DVD±R/RW/Dual Layer & 16x CD-RW

Graphics Card
512MB DDR3 ATi RADEON HD 4650 + HDMI & VGA

I had hoped to buy a ASUS G50 for its sexy looks and nice specs but it is a tough little machine to get hold of in the UK. Its replacement model is the ASUS G60 and is very sweet indeed but £300 over my budget. anyways who cares. I went for a hand made laptop with better specs and even though she is ugly as sin she is a beast on the inside.

I have a friend who has offered to do an art job on the case to make it look more appealing. Skull and bones design I am thinking =)

Anyways I hope for the machine to be with me by Friday the 13th just for good luck =( and I shall voyage into space again very soon after. Thank god for the Capsuleer app to keep me in the loop of what is happening in the meantime...
