silent-circuit - I know none of them are particularly good, but, for example, the HP Mini's keyboard was perfectly fine for my use. The Aspire One doesn't have any weird key positions, right? At least for basic stuff. I know the Dell Mini 9 has the apostrophe below where it usually is or...

So I'm looking to buy a netbook somewhere in the next couple of months. Hopefully now, but maybe not until May. I'm really looking for something very small, with a HDD (120GB would be ideal) and a decent keyboard. The keyboard on the EEEpc I tried out at Best Buy was too uncomfortable, and...

I'm also looking into getting an 8.9" netbook. How do the keyboards compare? I went to Best Buy hoping to be able to try out an Aspire One, but all they had on display was the HP Mini and an EEE. The EEE's keyboard was too small to be comfortable, but the HP Mini had quite a nice keyboard...

Yeah I ordered it a few days ago, from the same site. It's practically identical to yours, the only difference is that I got the 1920x1200 option. The resolution doesn't bother me, I can read it fine, and I like the extra space. And I was planning on buying the mouse on newegg anyway, and I...

27/30. Not bad.

Oh ok. I didn't notice the 3 year full warranty, I thought it was the standard 3 year labor 1 year parts.

What site did you order this from? I just pre-ordered an NP5790 from XoticPC.com, I got 4GB instead of 2GB, the 160GB hard drive instead of the 200GB one, and I got Vista Premium, and mine was only 2594 after shipping. I just configured your setup on XoticPC, and it's $2372, plus $30 shipping...

Ok, so I made a thread earlier some time ago about a laptop, and now I'm unsure about if things are worth the money. I have $2500 at my disposal, any more than that comes out of my pocket, which I'm willing to do to some degree, but I'd rather not spend too much. I'm looking at two laptops, HP...

For some reason I thought the 9500t was a 15.4" screen. Wow. :-P And yeah, I'm a student, and the only reason I got 2 internal hard drives is because that's the only 7200rpm option on hp.com. I might go to newegg for that as well, but I'm not sure if it makes it that much cheaper, and I get...

I'm shopping for a new laptop, used for regular stuff (listening to music/watching DVDs, word processing, internet whatnots) and gaming, so I guess the only thing that really decides what I should get is the gaming aspect of it. And I'd like a 17" screen. I have a budget of $2000 or so. The...

Erasmus, I play City of Heroes on a GeForce 5200 FX, AMD Athlon 3000+. You'll be perfectly fine. CoH keeps getting boring. My highest level character is a level 22 Spines/Regen scrapper. It's fun, but it's too repetitive. Though I heard that Issue 5 added different kinds of missions. I...

Yeah, I've decided to get the XFX card for $164 rather than the Gigabyte one. Thanks for all your input. So what it looks like, is that I should get the card, and if it doesn't seem to be working great than I should get a new PSU, right? Thanks again.:)

My current PSU is the Bestec ATX-300-12E 300w. EDIT: I just realized, a 6800 wouldn't be overkill, would it? I have an AMD Athlon XP 3000+ processor and 1GB RAM.

Hi, I've been thinking of getting a new video card for some time, and I've finally decided to get it. I've been using a Geforce FX5200 card for about a year, and it just doesn't cut it anymore. I was looking at getting the Geforce 6800nu (from newegg here...
