Willy waving thread: show us your laptops!

[Axeboy]

Got me this recently:





Lenovo U350
SU2300
4gb DDR3
500gb Hydrid Drive
13.3"

Great little laptop for not much money. Speakers are a little poo, but it performs very well for what it is. I added the extra 2gb and the hydrid obviously, but the little CPU copes fine with HD content etc.

My main laptop is the HP DV5 1110EM, had it a couple of years, it runs hot!

Just bought myself a netbook today though, the Toshiba NB520, i love it...

(its being handed down to my mum who needs it for her teaching)

Advent 7105 specs:
- processor: 1.8Ghz mobile AMD sempron 3000+
- graphics: Radeon Xpress 200M (aka, hopeless)
- RAM: 1GB DDR
- HDD: 60GB
- DVD +/- RW

Good luck with that one.
Lenovo are used in work (laptops and desktops), they're downright horrendous!.

Don't you dare call a Thinkpad horrendous!

Speaking of Thinkpads - time for an update:

So I've gone from a Dell Latitude D410 which I bought refurbished in 2006 (Pentium M 2.13ghz 1024mb 60gb/12.1" - which I upgraded by doubling the RAM and swapping to a 250gig HDD) to a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge (Core i3 380UM 1.33 GHz 4GB 500GB 13.3").

Overall happy so far, after a bit of faff with dodgy trackpad/point drivers)

I like the look of those Thinkpad Edge 13s

nice buy.

Bit of an update, I needed something more powerful for games.

Picked up a HP 8710w on eBay:

Ridiculously fast (T9500, 4GB RAM, 7200rpm drive) and it's fantastic for games, thanks to Quadro FX3600M graphics with 512MB of DDR3 RAM.

[leoncc]

I was looking for the R3, they were taken off the site a while back, I loved the design, but don't like the design now!

The review here doesn't match up with the pictures on the alienware site hmm?

Nevermind it does look the same, I wish there was a 15.6" in the same design.

[Mercutio]

Well mines the GX660R

i5 2.53ghz (2.7ish turbo)
6GB Ram
2x500GB HDD
Ati HD5870 1GB
Good speakers (for a lappy at least)
1920x1080 res on a 15.6" (bit small but looks pretty)

It's a well awesome little lappy
Recently found out its got upgradable graphics slot too. Takes a HD6970 so seriously considering downsizing a bit on the desktop, beef this up with SSD+Graphics upgrade and start using as primary machine. Will see how much it fails at keeping up with my desktop and I think i'd miss the big raid.

 

[Meaker]

Well 6970 is a slightly underclocked HD6850.
