You never know when your laptop will be lost...someone over here lost his laptop last week, someone broke into his room and only took his lappie, which is a Dell btw. He is now bawling and has posted reward poster all over the dorm to ask that thief to return it to him because all the important data is insideOriginally posted by TehJarVu:i'm not preparing for my lappie to be lost, so i don't need that

how much can be stored into those? And when you are just done with something, obviously you will store it into your lappie leh, I don't really bother with CD-RWs and thumb drives unless I am running out of space in my PC...Originally posted by TehJarVu:he nvr heard of CD-RWs and thumb-drives? -
I think if you are prone to dropping your laptop, you should get the Twinhead Durabook D15....Virtually indestrutible....

avoid that Asus at all cost!!! My last one was an Asus, looks nice on the outside, but a "hot" stuff inside, and in the end crash dao bu qing bu chuOriginally posted by ditzy:Asus 4000 series or something, carbon composite keyboard and casing. If it weighs more than 1.8kg, you can jolly screw their a$$e$.
but to be fair to them, the new generation may have improved, i dunno and i won't try again -
I dont know about that. But the laptop real steady!Originally posted by ditzy:Run it over with a steamroller, then we'll talk.
The guy at PC show 2005 was demonstrating how hardy the laptop was by jumping and pouring water on it. -

then u hv not experienced PC or lappie crash b4, if you have, jolly well you will save your work into CD-RWs each time you're done, i hv learnt my lesson, i had to take a 4 month intermission from my work to catch up the last time my lappie crashed, and for the record, it was an ASUS!!!!!!!!Originally posted by rainee:how much can be stored into those?

Question:
I once heard someone telling me mac are more suitable for people doing design work because the colour you see on screen is what you get from the printer.

their mother board cmi, unstable, always hang, at least mine was like that until it died on me
i'd rather you spend a bit more and get IBM, it's worth every cent.
again to be fair, i dun know if they (asus) hv improved. -

IBM....I'm grinning....haha. Just that the price tag makes me wanna look elsewhere. Eyeing the X-series, prolly get the X40. But looking at the Apple iBook and the Acer Travelmate, I'm a lil' stuck for choice -
man man look, man man compare, and man man think properly, for weeks i went to funan umpteen times b4 i finally made the decision/purchase; it's very painful for me too but no regrets.Originally posted by deathscythe99:Hmmmz....dat's true.
