I am going to buy a laptop and i kinda REALLY wanna get a Sony VAIO FS but now I am seeing these Acer cheapo one sim not so sure they ahve a few good ones like This. The only experience i have had with laptops are pauls shitty compaqs which just seem to fuck up and run like snails after a week of use so although the specs for the acer looks great im not sure if its worth it, and after all the VAIO look so much sexier lol

another question. Bus speed. Is it better to go for the 500mhz than the 400mhz or is there little difference?

faster bus speed is always better, means data is being shifted around the system quicker
as for choice of laptop, i wouldn't hazard a guess. except stay away from Apple

the confusing thing with fsb is that for example; i could get the sony BX which has a celeron 1.6 533mhz fsb or a FS with a 1.73 celeron 400 mhz now does the cpu drop equal out with the increased FSB its all very confusing lol

if it was me i'd go for the 533MHz bus machine, as it's no use having a faster CPU if your CPU is having to wait around while the other devices catch up

fluid proof keyboard and screen would be handy. Apparently the Panasonic Toughbook can withstand the wank release after three weeks of total inactivity.

Just get the cheapest then. The Acers are good for the money and reltively slim and light. Deffo check the weight if you will be travelling with it.

well the acer's are nice and all but being in a foriegn country i dont want to risk malfunction and having to explian that my mother board melted via sign language. With sony at leats its a Japanese company and well prolly quite reliable, or is that just foolish belief in the bog shiny pretty one?

when i was shoppin for a laptop a year ago, i had it down to a VAIO or a Toshiba. I ended up going for the Toshiba M45 because it was slightly less expensive for virtually the same thing.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase. It did have a screen issue, but Toshiba replaced the screen for free because it happened within the first year.
