I am in the same boat. Alaska as of 1:28pm and In Transit. I wonder if they will hold the shipments at all? If they dont hold the shipments then I see no reason why they wont make it down to California and be delivered either tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.
Camping out is kind of fun!
This year I ordered from the Apple Store the day after the announcement and if UPS is accurate in their estimate then my phone should arrive Thursday. Next year i'll probably flip a coin to see if I camp or get the upgrade by mail. Money is getting tight so this...
I traded an Asus notebook to a [H] member and yes the warranty was transferable. I emailed the ASUS support department and asked them to delete the serial from my account. Then the same serial number can be added to a different account. The original purchase date still applies to the warranty...
I just had a good laugh at myself. Not 1 day and a couple hours later and I just ordered (mid contract) a $500 32GB iPhone3GS. What can I say... I love tech.
I use the Microsoft Notebook Mouse 5k. It works ok and is very portable. Goes well with the size of the netbook but is not ideal for 2+ hrs of constant use.
Nick can you reproduce that problem? I consider myself fairly quick with the keyboard and never noticed anything. Maybe newer revisions of the hardware helped?
So far I have only played D2/Warcraft3. D2/War3 are playable so I am assuming Starcraft will also be fine. I have all the original Half Life engine games installed but have not taken the time to test them other then starting a few up to make sure they run.
Other games that I am interested in...
I'm glad I could help. I'm sure you will be satisfied with the 1000he. With the GMAoverclock and the cpu overclock there is even more untapped value hiding behind that $389 netbook.
I never used full screen browsing before because I never had to deal with a small screen. Now I launch FF and hit F11 before I do anything else. I was considering google chrome but I'd rather stick with FF since it has been around for awhile and I have used it on my desktop in the past.
IE8 ran fine for a couple days but then began to slow down. I installed firefox and there is a huge difference in speed. FF really does run well on atom based laptops. In the past I have always had a dual/quad core cpus so I never noticed the difference in the two browsers. Thanks impulse for...
Just depends on how much you game/edit video and if you have a desktop with a nice dedicated card in it. If you still like to move around in your house while you game/edit then you should go with the 9600. It is a good card.
Walk around with each laptop to figure out if the weight difference...
Over the last couple of years I have been looking for a mobile computing solution for school/web/light games and I think I have found it! The 10 ASUS 1000he netbook has impressed me. It has been out for a few months so there are hundreds of user reviews on amazon/newegg to comb over. Mostly...
Until recently I owned an ASUS G Series G50VT-X6 (traded to [H] member for a desktop). It is a very nice system for the price. It seemed to be built very well and I had no issues with software with all the stock drivers. Some bloatware but some maintenance or a quick drive format/reinstall...
My thoughts also. I have had a few laptops before (dell,asus,hp) all with plastic casing but now that I have seen and touched a unibody macbook I definately prefer aluminum. For smaller netbooks I'm comfortable with plastic.
I really like the video review as opposed to just a text review. I especially like how you seem to be in no rush and it really shows in a good way. It feels like you are taking the time to explain the drive as if you were actually talking to a friend. Most reviews are short and to the point...
I was having the same problem with a netgear wiress usb adaptor. I looked around a bit and it seems like there are not many stable pci/usb adaptors for x64 vista. I have been using a Belkin Wireless usb adapter for the last few days and it has fixed my lag issue (the same one you were having)...
He got 4GB of ram and 70GB more space on the HDD. How is that such a horrible deal? If he bought the new blackbook (I did) it is 2.4Ghz/2GB/250GB HDD. That costs $1505 shipped with the student discount. So if you add on the extra ram costs and the larger HDD you would end up with a pretty...
Hey bud I was pretty much in the same boat you were in when I decided to sell my vista gaming pc and get the new blackbook. I love it! Never had experience with mac so the first couple hours took patience but after I got used to the interface I don't think i'll go back. I have MSOffice2k8...
I just ordered a macbook from the online store via the education discount and as far as I know they just take your word. I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard for them to check if you really are a student.
I agree that $60 for a year of XBL is to much considering you have to pay even more for EVERYTHING on there. Right now xb360 has the games I want though so until MG4/new controller for ps3 comes out im going to keep the 360.
I run an q6600/4gb with the same vid card stock and can put everything on high/2xAA and get decent frames with no slowdown. The card itself is fine imo.

I want to throw in my 2 cents! :)
The last time I built a computer was when the 5900ultra was the top dog! Since then I have had various computers from local shops and even a M170 Dell laptop :) I recently decided to build a new computer to get back into things and find a good...

As of right now I have no plans on parting the system out. If I change my mind I will definately post here to let you guys know. Thank you for the interest.
Hi my name is Rob and I have the following items for sell in one package. I need $750 which I think is fair considering how all of this retails for over $1200. All items listed here were purchased no earlier then August of 2006 and I have the reciept so this xbox will still be under warrenty...
