College Laptop Time!

You're spending almost $5000 on a laptop?! When it will go for about $50 ten years from now at a yard sale? You can probably shave at least $3000 off the price by shopping better. For what it's worth...
 
Ya dude, I changed my mind 3 times, canceled one order, just to get the best value. I'm spending the money now so that my computer will be able to play games 3 or 4 years down the road at decent (low/medium) settings. Spend the money now, save later. I need this baby to last all the way through college, and I'm sure it will.
 
It would suck if something happened to it, huh? Like if it was stolen...or someone spilled coffee all over it...hmmm.

No i'm joking. Good luck with the lappy!
 
I'll probably buy LoJack for it, so that solves the theft thing... but the coffee is a whole different issue, that's just a matter of how clumsy I am :P

Is LoJack tied in with the BIOS, or is it only a software thing? If someone was smart they would probably reformat the computer before hooking it up to the internet, but hopefully that doesn't happen!
 
I'm pretty sure it's in the bios, when it launched at my store they told us the only way to remove it was with a password you choose and the disc and that's without that you cannot take it off even with a reformat.
 
That's good, I'm not too sure on how LoJack works. However for it to work the laptop has to be connected to the internet correct?

Hahaha well I changed my mind. Went from a Falcon Northwest to an Alienware, then canceled my Alienware order and bought a Sager NP9262.

Just to fill you in :P
 
The owner of XoticPC sent me a PM on the Notebookreview forums saying my laptop should ship tonight. They already shipped my sound card earlier tonight, so I should have my system by Thursday.

Alright, I'm really excited because I'm going to order my laptop for college in a few weeks. I've decided to go with Falcon Northwest to build it, they offer the best parts and their laptops look sick. This is what I'm going to get, I've been saving for a long, long time for this, it's gonna be a beast.

17" LCD - 1920x1200
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.13GHz
4GB 800MHz - (2x2048MB)
2 x GeForce 8800M GTX 512MB
2x 80GB 7200RPM - SATA (in a RAID 0)
8x DL DVD+-RW
Windows Vista Home Premium - 32 Bit

Total price is going to be $4,591.... a lot, I know, but it will be worth it. :D:D

Wow! What a computer! Certainly a beast! I can't imagine the games you can play on that! And the laptop wireless internet access should be very great. With your specs, it can turn from a beast to a monster! Yeah, too much for the praise, its the best man. Good luck man, with the games, college, your laptop wireless internet access and to everything..:D:D:D
