hey gor gor, this sounds like a winning purchase!
Hi dude, thats very nice laptop. Mind telling me how much you got it for? I'm thinking of getting one soon. Thanks
The laptop cost me just under AU$1,600. It originally costs AU$2,000 but it was marked down, and then discounted a further 10%.
Oh ok thanks. So what do you think of it? Any problem that i should be aware of before getting it?
There is one problem with the DVD drive. It is quite loud, and it vibrates quite strongly when it spins up. And you can feel the vibrations through the palm rests, which is quite annoying.
Who are you, by the way? Leave a name?
Im just a random guy who was googling on this laptop and your blog came up as one of the results so i decided to ask some quick questions before making my purchase. Thanks for all the help.
If you're still reading this, another thing I should point out is that the DVD drive construction is a little weak.
When opening the disk drive, the plastic seems to bend in and give more than I expected it to. It's not a very hard plastic.
So far, I'm very pleased with my purchase. The DVD drive seems to be the weakest link in the chain though.
