That is a damn good laptop, I personally hate Dell Laptops cuz it is a pain in the ass to upgrade(by one's self, have to ship it to dell) but this is a sweet machine. The only thing wrong is the Vista but yeah we all know I hate it and Dell isn't offering Linux just yet:crackup:

Why is it hard to upgrade? The components are complicated or what?

Ugh. At this rate I'm never getting one. My Dad refuses to lend me money and he won't let me borrow it from anyone else.

Yeah its like that. He just wants you to learn how to save for your own expenses, and not resorting to borrowing of cash from others. :p

:lmao: I've been in your exact situation before. I wanted to get a second hand guitar (an Epiphone Les Paul for those of you who plays guitar) like for 200 bucks. I only had a hundred then, so i asked to borrow another hundred from my dad, which he obviously rejected. The guitar was sold to someone else when i called the shop the next day. :( Yeah so i was just re-interpreting my dad's words. :D

As you know laptops are small and well so are their components, so trying to do it urself is well I wouldn't recommended cuz you shall go insane and to sent it to Dell and have it worked on is slow as it is a 2 weeks timetable without ur top(unless you have another or pc you use too)

Dude, borrowing money sucks ASS! You'll feel a lot better when you earned the whole sum, trust in Draven. If money is an issue maybe a second job? I had 2 when I was a wee lad.

Nice crash, what year or is a rep? I have a 76 Les Paul, a SG Custom, a Strat and am working on a Dime sig. My girl has a Flying V and a Zakk Wylde Bullseye, two Xmas presents I am sorta still paying LoL

Oh okay. No wonder people try to find the laptop with the best specs when they are getting one. :D

Agreed. And you will stay outta trouble if you refrain from borrowing money. :p

Nah i didn't get it, it was sold. I got an Epiphone Les Paul Jr instead. Sounded quite nice after I changed its pickups to a Seymour Duncan JB. Are yours all Gibsons?? :wth: That's alot of guitars.

Since laptops are still new(sorta), their still working out all the bugs(i.e. right processors, smaller but faster ram, screen ratio, etc.) So buying a laptop with the intent to upgrade is crazy(for right now that is)

Shitty dude, but at least you still got a Les Paul. Yup crash, well everything but the Frender Strat and Dime's Dean Guitar. I love the work and details Gibson puts into their axes. Mind you I bought all except the 76 Les Paul, my father gave it too me when I was 15(he bought it new in 76) and It is never enough guitars! I wish to have all my walls filled, only have about 1/4 of a wall now but soon ever room in the house shall have at least one(or 3) guitars on it

Dude, im still a student and still dependant on my parents for income, so can't really complain on the guitar. I might get an Epi LP Custom though when i've saved enough. :yahoo:

It is all good that you still depend on your parents, you are still in school and as I said "it is still a Les Paul" I love LP's guitars and if I had it my way I would own them all. As for school, this shall get you good for a good job and then start you guitar heaven LoL, this is what I did. Also checkout pawn shops and eBay for guitars, I got my girls Flying V on ebay and well lets just say the guy I bought it from had no idea what he had cuz I got it for less than $200 and it's value is over $500. But beware on the guitars on ebay, I almost bought a Dime sig that was a knockoff. Sorry if I made you jealous but I do have almost 10 yrs of buying guitars on you, so in 10 yrs we shall talk and see who is jealous after that:clapping:

:lmao: We get carried away so often. I guess 'videopimp chat' will be the ideal place to house this thread. And i'm not gonna spend all my hard earned work on guitars. I also want a sweet overclocked machine with tons of storage space. :vampsmile
