Yeah it's awesome so far. I'm surprised because I feel the PSP's biggest problem (and the reason I never used it much) is so many of the games are shrunk down console titles that just don't feel right on a portable. The GTA games for example. God of War on the other hand works great without having to sacrifice anything.Quote:

hello hangout! Sorry my visits have been so sporadic, I've been travelling everywhere!
I got through one and a half seasons of peep show, it's great.

Those are awful prices for desktops.
Seen them all, last few series aren't that good.Quote:

People will buy anything shiny and made by Apple. :wacko:Quote:

I wonder how many people who buy apple products buy them just for status.Quote:

One thing I will admit about apple is their products always look great.
Just looked into car insurance online.
1.2 litre Fiesta from 2002 - £3800 a year third party only.
1.1 litre Peugeot 106 Independence - £3200 a year third party only.
Ouch.
I used a Mac, didn't see the attraction. *shrug*Quote:

I got a Mac laptop for free from a friend a few years ago and I wasn't impressed. Business laptop pricing shouldn't be compared to desktop pricing, it's a different market entirely.Quote:

Nah, I'm agreeing with you on the desktops being expensive for what they are. I'm just saying their laptops are a bit more sensibly priced all things considered.Quote:

Laptops are too high all-around. :dread:
I have to go to town twice tomorrow. I hope I can at least find something decent worth buying. :(
why twice? appointments?Quote:

Switchable graphics have helped overcome this to some degree but you've still got a machine consuming more power than a small Danish village. Battery life, screen quality, build quality and resale value should be the most important things to consider when buying any sort of laptop. Specification comes secondary.

This is why desktops are a better buy if you have no need for a laptop. When I buy anything, I buy for keeps.Quote:

My old copy of MGS has become so badly scratched I can't play it anymore I might get the HD collection when it comes here.
Gaming laptops are the stupidest thing ever. Why are you trying to play games on this tiny ass thing with that tiny ass trackpad in public for anyway? And where would you do it? On the bus? On a plane? In the airport? All places that can have negative effects if you are engrossed in your little shitty battery draining apparatus.Quote:

Well put it this way. I want a used laptop for web browsing and I have under £400 to spend. Am I going to buy an old Alienware laptop that weighs as much as granite slab, can't play new games and has a panic attack when separated from its charger for more than 45 minutes, or am I going to spend it on an old Lenovo that's relatively light, can't play new games and has a battery of life of 5 hours?Quote:
