Post your spec...

As per title - if you have a laptop, what have you got "under the hood"?

Just curious as to what people have.

To get the ball rolling, here's my spec:

HP pavillion, 3.2Ghz P4, 1 Gig ram, ATI mobility Radeon 128Mb, 15.5 inch widescreen, DVD drive, 30 Gig hard drive, 5-in-1 memory card reader, 3xUSB, 1xFirewire, S-video out, Wifi, Ethernet.

And oh, crap battery life (almost 2 hours).

Nice laptop, decent spec. Why such a small HDD ??

Centrino 1.7Ghz, 512MB DDR2700 ram, ATi 9700 128MB, 15" SXGO(1400x1050) non-widescreen, DVD+-RW(4x) 80GB HD, 4-in-one cardreader, 3xUSB2, FireWire, Ethernet 10/100, WiFi b/g, S-vid/VGA-out.

5+hour battery life, depending on what I'm doing.

Re the small HD, I've found having a massive HD just encourages you to leave all the crap you install-to-test on there instead of dumping it when your finished with it(ie Games/Software Demo's; random freeware; etc), and I'd normally keep all my essential files on an external HD anyway! So that's a fairly good way of saving a couple of euro, I guess.

Quite simply - price.

Purely performance. I bought mine as a desktop replacement, not as a portable toy (that's what my Centrino work laptop is for ). I don't travel with it, so battery performance was way down on the list of priorities.

I make a lot of DVD's and am getting back into games, to the desktop processor makes a hell of a difference.

Yeah, was tempted by one, price was a bit high though, a certain companies website is incompatible with all but IE on windows and the 1024x768 res would annoy me as well. Same with desktop LCDs though, why oh why is it impossible to find a 19' LCD with a higher res than 1280x1024 even though higher reses are available on laptops.

Yep, fair enough, suppose it makes sense if you're big into games.

I read recently that this is going to affect male fertility in the future(similar to how it used to be thought cycling would, I guess:roleyes:)

Supposedly your balls get crushed when you close your legs to rest the laptop on them, not only does this increase their temperature(balls[more likely the sperm] like to be a bit cold), you then place a warm lump of metal on them which increases the temperature to dangerous levels!!

I have an old wooden sketchboard thing that I use to save my balls, and it works a treat:D

Same as this.. beautiful machine.. plays farcry/doom3/hl2 etc perfectly.. With Omega drivers of course.. It does get kinda hot though.. I wouldnt be resting it on my lap in bed too often.. unless when doing some small bits and pieces... Twould nearly burn skin if playing games on it for a long time.. good to have something between the sheets and lappy imo.
