lattitude sucs in my opinon... they should update your friends location more often ...yea im looking for a new laptop now

[sweetgeektv]

complexgrafix,

you will have to let me know what you end up getting or what your looking into for laptops. I am thinking the Dell XPS M1330 looks pretty solid.

Im needing a new pc but im going to hold on until the end of the year i think when i save up money for one that will last a good while 5*

[sweetgeektv]

0Xian0,

I tell that to people all the time that are looking in getting a machine that you should definitely be thinking about spending a bit more and getting something that has some staying power - plus don't forget the accidental 2-3yr warranty (so awesome, so necessary).

WestRoxGrl,

nice i've been seeing a TON of Asus equipment around so I hope your digging yours.

And Latitude and all location-based networks kind of just freak me out.

[sweetgeektv]

totally agree that it will definitely help. plus windows 7 is running awesome on the crappy dell laptop we have it installed on - which seems promising.

[robertomueller]

yeah...a dell xps laptop would be nice...but I dont have the money :(

a macbook would be nice, too...damn windows xD

[sweetgeektv]

rvercks99,

i agree that a) windows7 is going to rock and b) it should help sell at least a few pc's. :)
