Thing's hella powerful. Seriously, probably moreso than my current desktop. But it also means more heat and power consumption. The heat shouldn't be a real problem unless you have a bad habit of use pillows and sheets as platforms or something but the power consumption means a 2-3 hour battery life. If you're cool with that though, it's pretty much one of the best performance per price notebooks and Asus is a very solid company. They also cover accidental damage. (http://adw.asus.com/)

I'm just not a portable computing peronal in general, and the idea of sacrificing performance for portability is practically alien to me though so I can't fairly comment on the Hipsterbook.

thanks, bro.

no point going near a macbook unless youre going to drop the full $2500 or whatever for the maximum spec version.

Always going to refer folks to Costco's line of HP laptops. Sister got one in 2005 still in top shape, got mine in 2006 and playing modern games on it.

They break down occassionally but the Costco guarantee is awesome and you can send it in for repairs for 3-5 years, OR return the thing to Costco within 90 days and just buy a new one.

Indefinitely.

With your help and after some deliberation, I went with askal's first suggestion. I have had good experience in the past with costco deals, but the ASUS met all my work and gaming needs.

Also yeah, I'm going to stick with my anti apple policy for computers. I don't want to pay more cash to "streamline" my primary computer's functions.

I will be ordering said computer tonight or tomorrow. Huzzah!

Hey guys! The new computer came in, and I'm trying to figure out a good way to gain remote access to my old computer which I am leaving forever docked in one place or another.

The only built in way Windows Vista (hawhaw) allows for remote access is through a shitty program called windows remote assistance which essentially allows you to hijack your other computer without a good file transfer system or anything else of the sort.

Any recommendations? You guys are smart and less spastic than 4chan's tek people. I appreciate it.

check out RealVNC. I have limited experience but it seems to work fairly well (also I pity the foo who uses windows standard components)

sadly I know not of a free one

The new Airbook is an absolute piece of shit. Like, Vaio P levels of shit. Don't buy it.

Never used those sorts of programs but Radmin worked pretty well when my sisters friend was managing our home network. stupid sister used it for her own convenience, fucking invaded my privacy >:|
