Is that a Toshina Sat. Pro M30?

1.7 P-M

512MB RAM

5200 Go

40GB HD...

Etc?

Looks like mine

Close: It's the Sat Pro M-30, but 1.4 PM, 1GB Ram (upped from 256MB), 60GB (up from 40GB), and I don't know the video, but it's NVidea 32MB something or other. I love the widescreen, though. Never go back to a notebook with a normal aspect screen! :rofl:

hrmmmm I really wish I had a laptop, maybe by the end of the summer ill have enough for a powerbook

Laptops are great: your whole PC in a small case to take anywhere! And I'm in complete agreement with Hypoxiaicon: widescreen is the way to go! :rofl:

Here's what I'm sitting in front of right now:

It's somewhat of a modest setup, but hey, I'm a university student!  I have a much nicer desktop at home...

Hey, that's cool! I wish I had a separate keyboard as it's better for your back to elevate the laptop (which you can't do if you're using it as the keyboard).

Man, I envy you! I'm sunk deep in a spartan sparseness here (student myself as well, but a bit on the poorer side!).

Wow you could have paid for a new car or fully qualified a retirement fund for all of that

Considering the cases have been here for over a year, the P4 and board for almost 2, all that has been changed on them is the Drives, and the Aria cost $1050 to build, and the Mac Mini $800, I realize I had more to spend then others, but, I have always sold off my older equipment when I

upgraded, so the upgrades were about 30% in cost

One machine for Work, One for Gaming, one for usenet and misc crap, and the Mac Mini (hich has not been off for 2 weeks now) if it would only be able to play the games my PC can, it would be the only machine I would have needed.

I love the external keyboard. If there's one thing Microsoft does well, it's make keyboards and mice. I was always a Logitech fan until I got this set, but this made me a believer!

It also helps that the keyboard has a "natural" shape to it. I do a LOT of typing.

(Oh, and one more bit of praise for the MS set--I bought it in September, and I'm STILL running on the same set of AA batteries!)

Glad you like it!  Now I no longer feel embarrassed here at neowin!  :rofl:

Yeah, I think you're overestimating how much the desktops people post here cost. It's mostly average hardware in fancy cases and a display setup that probably cost more than the tower, but still no where near ?5000.

I've got the MS wheelmouse and have had it a while and am happy with it, but I like what you're saying about the whole battery thing and the split keyboard. I'll consider this to ask for a birthday present, I think, as I too do a lot of typing. :rofl:

Maybe so. Especially given the weakness of the dollar these days. So, you're saying it's mostly "flash and trash" in this thread little substance?

Well, good on you, mate! My gran's got a 286 PC, believe or not, and it's got Word Perfect on it, and I can do all that's really necessary for my own life on that thing, believe or not (except write in to neowin)! I know there are gamers here and all that, and they want to see the blood splatter on the walls, but I feel I'm rocketing forward with my Toshiba Satellite Pro M-30, for all the mundane stuff I get up to!

Yep, it's Garden State. Written and directed by Zach Braff as well. I adore the film, seen it over 20 times easily, also spread the Garden State love by handing out DVDRs of it like they're leaflets :D

My last few keyboards and mice have been MS items, really nice to use ever day. Their mice are exceptionally good imo.

Microsoft Keyboards are the best, but their mice are not too great.

Logitech mice are the BEST.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      Started implementing weapons! Here's a little sneak peek! 👀 Animation was done inside of Unreal Engine using Control Rig! Really useful tool, I don't have to go back and forth between Blender and UE, you can basically make tweaks while the game is running.
    • Save 44% on Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (1 User for 1-Year)

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Figure 8 Dash · Posted

      Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
