  Last friday I bought myself a brand new ASUS L3800CE laptop.ProcessorIntel Pentium 4-M 2.2 GHzScreen   15" SXGA TFTVideocardATi Mobility Radeon 7500Memory   512 MB DDRDiskdrive3,5 " 1.44 MBHarddrive60 GBBurner/DVD    Combo DVD / CD-RWModem    56 kbps fax / modemLAN 10 / 100 Mbit UTPWireless LAN  802.11b onboardTV-out   S-VHSAudio    AC97Firewire 1394 2 xUSB 2 x USB 1.1Measurment (WxHxD) 326 x 267 x 34-49 mmWeight   3.4 kg  Finaly I can relax in the sun (and get a tan) and still code. 
  congrats on the notebook, I hope that you enjoy it. With those specs it will serve you very well for coding, so what OS are you going to be running on it? ;*coughtWindowscough*Kudos on the laptop, I need something like that. How much was it?   There''s no town drunk here, we all take turns.Velocity Gaming Force;  OS: Windows XP Pro.Price: €1699I bougt it for 2 reasons.Reason 1: Coding in the backyard (and still have internet ^_^)Reason 2: College. The computers at college sux @$$. This way I have a decent PC to work with.   [edited by - TheSorcerer on August 2, 2003 1:22:31 PM];  Whats the US equivilent to 1700 pounds? I''m guessing somewhere around 1400?   There''s no town drunk here, we all take turns.Velocity Gaming Force;  Isn''t it somewhere around $2000?   "C lets you shoot yourself in the foot rather easily. C++ allows you to reuse the bullet!"  ;  Also it was Euro not pound. So it is around $1700.   "C lets you shoot yourself in the foot rather easily. C++ allows you to reuse the bullet!"  ;  That''s a very nice system. Personally, I wouldn''t want to buy a sweet laptop, though, because of the extremely high chance of theft, and the power consumption.I sure wish I had an economical laptop for light coding, word processing, and surfing, though.
